Abstract

Plants are continuously[COMP1] exposed to pathogenic microorganisms in their ­environment, and possess many mechanisms aimed at mounting an effective defense against these pathogens (Jones and Dangl, 2006; Yang et al., 1997). These defense responses include the strengthening of mechanical barriers, oxidative burst, “de novo” production of antimicrobial compounds such as pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins and phytoalexins, and the induction of the hypersensitive response (HR) mechanism, where the tissue surrounding the infection site dies and confines pathogen growth (Hammond-Kosack and Jones, 1996).
