invasion by microbial pathogens or attack by herbivorous insects. Research
on defense signaling pathways revealed that induced defenses against
pathogens and herbivores are regulated by a network of interconnecting
signaling pathways in which the plant signal molecules salicylic acid (SA),
jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET) play a dominant role. In many cases, attack by pathogens or
herbivores is associated with enhanced production of these hormones and a
concomitant activation of distinct sets of defense-related genes. Moreover, exogenous
application of SA, JA or ET often results in an enhanced level of resistance.Read More
