This project explores how plants enhance their immune responses through a process known as defence priming. It aims to uncover the mechanisms behind this phenomenon, which allows plants to respond more effectively to pathogens without compromising growth.
Plant defence depends on speed: the sooner a plant recognises its attacker, the more effective its defence response will be.
Over the course of evolution, plants have acquired the ability to prime their immune system after perception of specific environmental signals.
This heightened state of defence enables a faster and/or stronger activation of inducible defence mechanisms after pathogen attack, providing resistance against a wide range of diseases.
Based on a phenotypically similar response i…
