Popis: Plants possess inducible defence mechanisms to protect themselves against different types of microbial pathogens and herbivorous insects. Defences induced against pathogens and insects are often incompatible. A major question in plant defence research is: how are plants capable of integrating signals induced by either microbial pathogens or insects into defences that are specifically active against the attacker? Three plant signalling molecules play a dominant role in the regulation of defences against both microbial pathogcns and insects: salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET). Cross-talk between SA-, JA- and ET-dependent signalling pathways is thought to be involved in fine-tuning the defence reaction, leading to activation of an optimal mix of defences to counteract the intruder. Here we studied the effect of herbivore-induced resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana against a range of microbial pathogens.
