Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is a highly conserved endoplasmic-reticulum-resident protein that acts as a cell death suppressor [23,24] and can suppress programmed cell death (PCD) in response to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants [25,26], such as those from drought [27], high salinity [27,28], or pathogen infection [29]. This evidence concerns the gene TMBIM6 and infection.
