Defense priming: an adaptive part of induced resistance

B Mauch-Mani, I Baccelli, E Luna… - Annual review of plant …, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Priming is an adaptive strategy that improves the defensive capacity of plants. This
phenomenon is marked by an enhanced activation of induced defense mechanisms. Stimuli …

Priming for enhanced defense

U Conrath, GJM Beckers… - Annual review of …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
When plants recognize potential opponents, invading pathogens, wound signals, or abiotic
stress, they often switch to a primed state of enhanced defense. However, defense priming …
