Animals as disgust elicitors

Biology & Philosophy, 2015
This paper attempts to explain how and why nonhuman animals elicit disgust in human beings. I argue that animals elicit disgust in two ways. One is by triggering disease–protection mechanisms, and the other is by eliciting mortality salience, or thoughts of death.

Oligosaccharide Elicitors and Elicitor Receptors

1995
Oligosaccharide elicitors capable of inducing one or more plant defense responses have been prepared from plant (homogalacturonan) and fungal (β-glucan, chitin, chitosan) cell wall polysaccharides, and fungal glycoproteins. An overview of the structures and activities of these elicitors will be presented.

Elicitors and defence gene activation

Plant, Cell & Environment, 1988
Abstract. Plants respond actively to infection and other environmental stresses by synthesizing phytoalexins and defence‐related proteins. This response can be induced in plant cell suspension cultures with compounds known as elicitors. These are often carbohydrates of fungal origin.

Proteinaceous Elicitors of Plant Defense Responses

1993
The role of microbial proteins as signal molecules activating plant defense responses is now well recognized. The properties of several recently characterized proteinaceous elicitors are reviewed. Apart from endopolygalacturonases which release endogenous elicitors from plant cell walls, proteinaceous elicitors seem to interact primarly with the plant ...

Sucrose: A Constitutive Elicitor of Phytoalexin Synthesis

Science, 1983
Extracts of seeds and leaves of the tropical legume Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. (the pigeon pea) elicited the accumulation of three phytoalexins when applied as droplets to superficially wounded leaves of the plant. The active component was purified and identified as sucrose. Phytoalexin accumulation was proportional

Avirulence Determinants and Elicitors

2002
Being surrounded by putatively hostile microorganisms, but immobile and hence unable to escape, plants constantly need to be prepared for defensive battle. During their coevolution with heterotrophic parasites they have therefore acquired efficient passive, preformed barriers that provide protection against the majority of aggressors.

ELICITOR UTILIZATION IN PLANTS

Jurnal Sapta Agrica
Hama dan penyakit dapat menurunkan kualitas dan hasil produksi pertanian.Upaya yang di lakukan untuk meningkatkan ketahanan tanaman dengan mengunakan elisitor. Elisitor yaitu zat kimia yang dapat memberikan reaksi pada tanaman yang mampu merangsang produksi metabolit sekunder, memperbaiki sel tanaman, dan meningkatkan produktivitas.

Elicitor Recognition and Signal Transduction

1992
The majority of plants are highly resistant to attack by most micro-organisms (non-host or species resistance). The number of true host/ pathogen combinations is comparatively small, but these interactions cause signifieant losses in agriculture. Within a susceptible plant species, resistance may be expressed in a number of host cultivars to certain ...

Elicitors of Plant Defense Responses

1994
Publisher Summary Plants are equipped with a wide array of constitutive deterrents that include both toxic chemicals and mechanical barriers. In addition to these, there is a complex system of inducible defense responses aimed at stopping herbivores and pathogens.
