Infection of plants by necrotizing pathogens or colonization of plant roots with certain
beneficial microbes causes the induction of a unique physiological state called “ priming”. The …

Defense priming conditions diverse plant species for the superinduction of defense, often
resulting in enhanced pest and disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance. Here, we …

Long known only for its role in abiotic stress tolerance, recent evidence shows that abscisic
acid (ABA) also has a prominent role in biotic stress. Although it acts as a negative regulator …

We thank the Swiss National Foundation for supporting B. Mauch-Mani (grant 31003A-120197) …

Induced resistance protects plants against a wide spectrum of diseases; however, it can also
entail costs due to the allocation of resources or toxicity of defensive products. The cellular …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant immune response to pathogen attack. Recent
evidence suggests that plant immunity involves regulation by chromatin remodeling and …

INTRODUCTION The centromeres of eukaryotic chromosomes assemble the multiprotein
kinetochore complex and thereby position attachment to the spindle microtubules, allowing …

The non‐protein amino acid β‐amino‐butyric acid (BABA) protects plants against a wide
range of pathogens. We have examined the effectiveness and mode of action of BABA on …

Plants use inducible defence mechanisms to fend off harmful organisms. Resistance that is
induced in response to local attack is often expressed systemically, that is, in organs that are …
