Loss of susceptibility as a novel breeding strategy for durable and broad-spectrum resistance [PDF]
, 2010 Recent studies on plant immunity have suggested that a pathogen should suppress induced plant defense in order to infect a plant species, which otherwise would have been a nonhost to the pathogen. For this purpose, pathogens exploit effector molecules to

Characterization of a novel bacterial PAMP - elongation factor Tu - and its role in "Arabidopsis thaliana" defense and immunity [PDF]
, 2005 The discrimination of self and nonself is a primary challenge for all living organisms to detect microbial invasion and to protect and defend against the invader.

Transmethylation and the general defense reaction of plants
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2007 Plant breeding for resistance, namely building specific resistance genes into cultivated plants to ensure resistance against certain pathogen species, is a several-decade-long practice.

Analyzing plant defenses in nature [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2009 A broad range of chemical plant defenses against herbivores has been studied extensively under laboratory conditions. In many of these cases there is still little understanding of their relevance in nature. In natural systems, functional analyses of plant traits are often complicated by an extreme variability, which affects the interaction with higher ...

A comprehensive meta-analysis reveals the key variables and scope of seed defense priming
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 BackgroundWhen encountered with pathogens or herbivores, the activation of plant defense results in a penalty in plant fitness. Even though plant priming has the potential of enhancing resistance without fitness cost, hurdles such as mode of application ...

Plant defense elicitors: plant fitness versus wheat stem sawfly [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The wheat stem sawfly (WSS), Cephus cinctus Norton, is an important wheat pest in the Northern Great Plains of the USA. No single control measure effectively suppresses WSS damage.

Basic and Applied EcologyPlants have evolved direct and indirect defences against herbivores, which may come at a cost to other plant functions. Many plants can uptake and deposit large amounts of silicon within plant tissue, creating structures which can reduce herbivore ...
