"Salicylic acid (SA) is an important signal in plant defence [4••] and a SA-response element (SARE) has been identified in the tobacco PR2-d gene. A 76bp fragment conferred a 20-fold induction by SA in transgenic tobacco plants and protein binding studies indicated that the core sequence of this SARE is TTCGACCTCC [40]."[1]
