The non-expressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 ( NPR1) is an essential positive regulator of salicylic acid (SA)-induced pathogenesis-related ( PR) gene expression and systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Two novel full length NPR1-like genes; MNPR1A and MNPR1B, were isolated from banana by applic...
