ATBSMT1
Summary
The gene encodes a SABATH methyltransferase that methylates both salicylic acid and benzoic acid. It is highly expressed in flowers, induced by biotic and abiotic stress and thought to be involved in direct defense mechanism.

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. A knockout mutant (Atbsmt1) failed to accumulate Methyl salicylate following pathogen infection; these plants also failed to accumulate salicylic acid or its glucoside in the uninoculated leaves and did not develop systemic acquired resistance. [AtBSMT1]
    Title: Altering expression of benzoic acid/salicylic acid carboxyl methyltransferase 1 compromises systemic acquired resistance and PAMP-triggered immunity in arabidopsis.
  2. Data show that A T-DNA insertion mutation in the AtBSMT1 resulted in reduced methyl salicylate levels upon P. syringae infection.
