Plants are constantly being challenged by aspiring pathogens, but disease is rare. Why?
Broadly, there are three reasons for pathogen failure. Either (1) the plant is unable to support …

▪ Abstract This paper examines induced resistance (SAR) in plants against various insect
and pathogenic invaders. SAR confers quantitative protection against a broad spectrum of …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) refers to a distinct signal transduction pathway that
plays an important role in the ability of plants to defend themselves against pathogens. After …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Systemic acquired resistance is an important component of the disease resistance repertoire
of plants. In this study, a novel synthetic chemical, benzo (1, 2, 3) thiadiazole-7-carbothioic …

Plants are one of the world's richest sources of natural medicines. The use of plants and
plant extracts for healing dates back to earliest recorded history. Today, such plant-derived …

Resistance, according to Agrios (1988) is the ability of an organism to exclude or overcome,
completely or in some degree, the effect of a pathogen or other damaging factor. Disease …

Systemic acquired resistance is a pathogen-inducible defense mechanism in plants. The
resistant state is dependent on endogenous accumulation of salicylic acid (SA) and is …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a broad-spectrum resistance in plants that involves
the upregulation of a battery of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes. NPR1 is a key regulator in …

Benzothiadiazole (BTH) is a novel chemical activator of disease resistance in tobacco,
wheat and other important agricultural plants. In this report, it is shown that BTH works by …
