TLDR
Phytoalexin synthesis can be favorably studied in experimental systems mimicking as closely as possible the natural infection process, as well as in systems of reduced complexity utilizing plant cell cultures and inducers of microbial origin (elicitors).About:

Physiology and Molecular Biology of Phenylpropanoid Metabolism
Klaus Hahlbrock,Dierk Scheel +1 more
TL;DR: Studies of the molecular genetics, mechanisms of activation and functional connections between general phenylpropanoid metabolism and certain branch pathways in parsley, bean, potato plants and cell cultures are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic plant aequorin reports the effects of touch and cold-shock and elicitors on cytoplasmic calcium.
TL;DR: It is shown here that aequorin can be reconstituted in transformed plants and that it reports calcium changes induced by touch, cold-shock and fungal elicitors, which could be valuable for determining the role of calcium in intracellular signalling processes in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene-for-gene complementarity in plant-pathogen interactions.
TL;DR: The cloning of avirulence genes has greatly aided the understanding of plant-pathogen specificity and established firm genetic and biochemical evidence supporting the elicitor-receptor model for recognition of incompatible pathogen races by plants.
Biosynthesis of flavonoids
Werner Heller,Gert Forkmann +1 more
TL;DR: A rapid and substantial progress to a broad understanding of flavonoid biosynthesis marked the previous reviews of this series of books (Hahlbrock and Grisebach, 1975; Ebel and Hahlburck, 1982; Heller and Forkmann, 1988), and several other reviews have also appeared (Harborne, 1988; Zaprometov, 1989; Stafford, 1990).
Journal ArticleDOI
The pathobiology of the septin gene family.
TL;DR: It is posited that septins can act as regulatable scaffolds where the stoichiometry of septin associations, modifications, GTP status, and the interactions with other proteins allow the regulation of key cellular processes including polarity determination.

Biochemical Mechanisms of Disease Resistance
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analysis of the literature on induced resistance and its applications to state-of-the-art materials science and discusses the role of nanofiltration in the evolution of resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoalexin synthesis: the biochemical analysis of the induction process
TL;DR: There is considerable evidence that supports the view that phytoalexin synthesis is strongly enhanced not only upon challenge of plant tissues by parasites but also following treatment with substances called elicitors, and the nature and activity of several elicitors are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan-Elicited Callose Synthesis in Soybean Cells as a Ca2+-Dependent Process
TL;DR: It is concluded that this Ca( 2+)-dependent enzyme is directly activated by the influx of Ca(2+) occurring concomitantly with the leakage of cell constituents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of induced resistance in plants
TL;DR: Mise au point des connaissances relatives: aux methodes utilisees pour induire des phenomenes de resistance chez les plantes, aux mecanisme de resistance induite localisee ou systemique, aux applications comme mesure de protection des cultures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Localization of the Phytoalexin Glyceollin I in Relation to Fungal Hyphae in Soybean Roots Infected with Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the accumulation of glyceollin I is an important early response of soybean roots to infection by P. megasperma is supported, but may not be solely responsible for inhibition of fungal growth in the resistant response.
