Abstract
A multitude of potential pathogens are present in the plant environment. Most of these pathogens, however, are unable to breach structural barriers or withstand preformed antimicrobial compounds of the plant. Some pathogens are able to penetrate the plant, but many of them are overcome by the defense mechanisms activated by the pathogenic infection. Only these pathogens with the ability to circumvent the defense mechanisms are able to successfully infect and colonize the plant. Thus, plant defenses in general are sound, and plant disease is the exception and not the rule (Campbell et al., 1980). Cowling and Horsfall (1980) draw an analogy between the defense in plants and the defense of a medieval castle. Preformed structures and chemicals that ward off pathogens at the plant surface are similar to the castle setup of heavy walls, trap doors, and poisonous baits. Upon invasion, some plants improvise defense by reinforcing cell walls with cal lose, lignin, and hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein in a way similar to throwing up barricades against the invaders by the castle defenders. Other plants synthesize toxic substances such as phytoalexins and hydrolytic enzymes to confine the pathogen, similar in a way to the throwing of explosives and pouring of boiling oil on the invaders.
