JAZ genes play roles against different biotic agents like insect herbivory and pathogen infection (Shoji et al., 2008; Sun et al., 2011; Demianski et al., 2012; Oh et al., 2012) and many of these resistance mechanisms are mediated by a variety of signaling molecules that include JA, SA, and ET (ethylene) (Bari and Jones, 2009; Pieterse et al., 2009). The gene discussed is ZNF346; the disease is infection.
