Induced Systemic Resistance in Plants

  • Chapter
The Fungal Spore and Disease Initiation in Plants and Animals

Abstract

Those investigating plant immune systems are faced with a dilemma. Disease resistance/ susceptibility in plants exhibit a high degree of specificity at many levels; however, specific mechanisms for eliciting resistance and specific mechanisms for disease resistance have not been established. Based on the current literature, the presence or absence of genetic information for resistance mechanisms are not determinants of disease resistance in plants. This is true when one considers phytoalexins, hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, lignin, callose, peroxidases, chitinases, β-1, 3-glucanases, and pathogenesis-related proteins. The mechanisms for resistance also lack specificity in their action against specific pathogens. The chemical agents reported to elicit resistance, whether derived from pathogens or synthetic, are also notable for their lack of specificity. To add to the dilemma, pathogens can often induce systemic resistance against completely unrelated pathogens, e.g., fungi against viruses, viruses against fungi (Dean and Kuć, 1987a; Kuć, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985a–c, 1987a; Kuć and Preisig, 1984; Thzun and Kuć, 1989).
