In the Conclusion section, there are references omitted from the second sentence of the first paragraph.
The correct sentence is: The NPR1 protein in Arabidopsis plays a pivotal role in activating the plant’s immune system, particularly in response to pathogen attacks. This activation involves the synthesis of SA and establishing SAR, which helps protect the plant from subsequent infections (Fister., et al 2018, Shi., et al 2013, Pokou., et al 2019).

In the Discussion section, a reference is omitted from the first sentence of the third paragraph.
