In support of the proposed connection between elevated carbon status and enhanced defense in the double mutant, we have observed an accumulation of free SA, SA-glucosides (SAG) as well as a highly significant induction of genes involved in the SA mediated defense response not only in Ch infected, but also in mock treated sweet11 / sweet12 double mutants relative to wild type.
