Plants can be primed to respond faster and more strongly to stress and multiple pathways,
specific for the encountered challenge, are involved in priming. This adaptability of priming …

Background Crops are constantly attacked by various pathogens. These pathogenic
microorganisms, such as fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, threaten …

The use of pathogen-resistant cultivars is expected to increase yield and decrease fungicide
use in agriculture. However, in potato breeding, increased resistance obtained via …

Any interaction of plants with phytopathogens involves the generation of various chemical
molecules that are critical for activation of their defense machinery. One of the chemicals …

Plants can acquire an improved resistance against pathogen attacks by exogenous
application of natural or artificial compounds. In a process called chemical priming …

Abstract β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) has been known as an inducer of disease-resistance
since 1963, however, only in the recent two decades an increasing number of reports have …

The study investigated the effect of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on the control of alternaria
rot in tomato fruit and the possible mechanism involved. Our results showed exogenous …

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) or linseed is one of the important industrial crops grown all
over the world for seed oil and fiber. Besides oil and fiber, flax offers a wide range of …

Flax, or linseed, is considered a “superfood”, which means that it is a food with diverse
health benefits and potentially useful bioactive ingredients. It is a multi-purpose crop that is …

This review provides a current summary of plant resistance inducers (PRIs) that have been
successfully used in the Solanaceae plant family to protect against pathogens by activating …
