Role of biochemicals produced by the plants in response to pathogen attack

Answer»

Plants are challenged by a variety of biotic stresses like fungal, bacterial, or viral infections. This LEAD to a great loss to plant yield. There are various options available for the farmers to protect their crop from the disease. Some options include development of resistant cultivars, biological control, crop rotation, tillage, and chemical pesticides

Plants can activate separate DEFENSE pathways DEPENDING on the type of pathogen encountered [2]. Jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene dependent responses SEEM to be initiated by necrotrophs, WHEREAS salicylic acid (SA) dependent response is activated by biotrophic pathogens

these biochemicals produced help the plant to improve its defense mechanism of the plant.
