Multifaceted Chemically Based Resistance in Plants

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 19))

Abstract

When one considers the fairly universal primary metabolism among plants, it might seem reasonable to expect them to be relatively equal in susceptibility to bacterial, fungal or viral pathogens as well as to animal attack. However, it is quite obvious that is not the case. Everyone has seen evidence of plant resistance to pathogens or animal attack in their own garden. One plant is covered with a blanket of aphids or blight while another species is relatively unharmed.
