Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a response to pathogen infection that renders plants
more resistant to subsequent infection (reviewed in Grant and Lamb, 2006). It is …

Recent studies have indicated that the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), induced in
response to a variety of environmental stresses, plays an important role in modulating …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a potent innate immunity system in plants that is
effective against a broad range of pathogens. SAR development in dicotyledonous plants …

The importance of phytohormone balance is increasingly recognized as central to the
outcome of plant–pathogen interactions. Recently it has been demonstrated that abscisic …

Plants are sessile organisms, and their only means to respond when exposed to biotic stress
such as pathogen attack is to activate rapidly a panoply of reactions, including both physical …

The effect of the abiotic stress hormone abscisic acid on plant disease resistance is a
neglected field of research. With few exceptions, abscisic acid has been considered a …

Long known only for its role in abiotic stress tolerance, recent evidence shows that abscisic
acid (ABA) also has a prominent role in biotic stress. Although it acts as a negative regulator …

Defence against abiotic and biotic stresses is crucial for the fitness and survival of plants
under adverse or suboptimal growth conditions. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant responses to different stimuli including viral infections
through two different defense mechanisms; the antiviral RNA silencing pathway and callose …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR), a whole plant defense response to a broad spectrum of
pathogens, is characterized by a coordinated expression of a large number of defense …
