Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR) and Fe Deficiency Responses in Dicot Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Plants develop responses to abiotic stresses, like Fe deficiency. Similarly, plants also develop responses to cope with biotic stresses provoked by biological agents, like pathogens and insects. Some of these responses are limited to the infested damaged
