Avirulence Determinants and Elicitors

  • Chapter
Agricultural Applications

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 11))

Abstract

Being surrounded by putatively hostile microorganisms, but immobile and hence unable to escape, plants constantly need to be prepared for defensive battle. During their coevolution with heterotrophic parasites they have therefore acquired efficient passive, preformed barriers that provide protection against the majority of aggressors. In addition, however, plants have an arsenal of offensive weapons for counterattack at their disposal once the passive bulwark has failed. Usually, this weaponry is launched rapidly and decisively, thus negating any further progression of the invader in order to maintain the plant’s structural and functional integrity.
