Plant Hormone Signaling Systems in Plant Innate Immunity

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the innate immune systems of plants, highlighting their ability to combat various pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. It delves into the role of plant hormones—like salicylate, jasmonate, and ethylene—in activating these immune responses, which remain dormant in healthy plants. The text distinguishes between systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR) based on specific hormone signaling pathways. By examining manipulation of these signaling systems, it aims to enhance disease resistance in crops and improve management strategies against plant diseases.
