Recognizing Plant Defense Priming

Trends Plant Sci. 2016 Oct;21(10):818-822. doi: 10.1016/j.tplants.2016.07.009. Epub 2016 Aug 6.

Abstract

Defense priming conditions diverse plant species for the superinduction of defense, often resulting in enhanced pest and disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance. Here, we propose a guideline that might assist the plant research community in a consistent assessment of defense priming in plants.
