Induced Resistance Mechanisms

  • Chapter
Natural Resistance Mechanisms of Plants to Viruses

Abstract

During the co-evolution of plants and their pathogens, the pathogens developed a wide variety of strategies to infect and exploit their hosts. In response to this pressure, plants countered by deploying a range of defense mechanisms. Some of these are conceptually simple, for example defenses based on physical barriers such as the cell wall or cuticle, or resistance engendered by pre-existing antimicrobial compounds (Osbourn 1996). However, certain resistance mechanisms, most particularly those that are inducible, are complex in nature and have proved to be more difficult to understand, particularly with respect to resistance to viruses.
