67. (A) TMV necrotic lesions forming on N gene-expressing resistant tobacco leaves - total SA contents are greatest in the centre of the lesion and rapidly diminish with distance from the centre
68. (B) Constitutive expression in tobacco plants of the P. putida nah G gene (encodes the enzyme salicylate hydrolase and hydrolyses SA to catechol) leads to continual removal of induced SA. This causes substantial increase in TMV multiplication in the tobacco leaves through a weakening of several N gene-mediated resistance to TMV
