Abstract
Cyanide-resistant ("alternative") respiration was studied in Arabidopsis
during incompatible and compatible infection with
Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000. Total leaf respiration
increased as the leaves became necrotic, as did the cyanideresistant
component that was sensitive to salicylhydroxamic acid.
Infiltration of leaves with an avirulent strain rapidly induced alternative
oxidase (AOX) mRNA, whereas the increase was delayed
