Many secondary metabolites of interest for human health and nutrition are produced by
plants when they are under attack of microbial pathogens or insects. Treatment with elicitors …

Ion fluxes and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are early events that follow
elicitor treatment or microbial infection. However, molecular mechanisms for these …
