Abstract
The compatible pathogen stress resulted in a transient systemic induction of selected defense-related gene transcripts in the shoot and a persistent local induction in the roots. Drought led to a similar but delayed host response, while the combined stress gave larger and earlier changes in transcripts than for the two stresses separately. Thus, distinguishing between the effect of a root infection and drought based on systemic transcription patterns may be feasible especially when the temporal expression patterns are closely monitored.
