Plant Defense Mechanisms
Description
Plant defense mechanisms involve intricate signaling pathways that trigger the activation and inhibition of various responses, direct and indirect, achieved through signal transduction. One prominent player in this system is the Wnt signaling pathway. When plants sense a threat, this pathway is activated, leading to the synthesis of defense molecules and the inhibition of pathogen growth. This highly regulated process ensures plants can fend off attackers effectively.
VOCs: volatile organic compounds; HIPVS: herbivore-induced plant volatiles
