**32. ABC-transporter**

A new ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter was identified as a salicylic acid-induced gene from soybean in a subtractive suppression hybridization approach. The encoded 1447 amino acid protein has two similar repeat units typical of full-size ABC transporters and a close relationship to plant pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR)-type transporters. GmPDR12 responds quickly to salicylic acid, functional analogues of salicylic acid and methyl jasmo‐ nate. Salicylic acid is required for the hypersensitive reaction in soybean cell suspension cul‐ tures inoculated with *Pseudomonas syringae* pv. glycinea [35].
