Abstract

Following the report of Ross (1961) describing the induction of systemic resistance in the virus-free leaves of tobacco plants reacting hypersensitively to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), interest in the biochemistry and molecular biology of the phenomenon has been growing. Systemic induced resistance appears to be the result of several mechanisms which together are effective against a wide range of fungi, bacteria and viruses. This inducible resistance is exhibited by a variety of plant species. Many of the efforts to understand the components forming the basis of this phenomenon have focussed on the known and cryptic plant proteins demonstrating enhanced levels during the induction of resistance. These studies have benefited greatly from the development of molecular cloning techniques and plant transformation systems. In less than a decade considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the proteins associated with induced resistance and of the genes which encode them. Judging by the growing number of papers, this area is now receiving considerable attention from researchers interested not only in the control of plant disease but also in the opportunities the system provides for the study of plant gene expression. The purpose of this chapter is to outline research on the molecular aspects of systemic induced resistance, including the regulation of systemically expressed genes, and to point out what we know and still need to know about the molecular basis of induced resistance.
