Induced resistance is expressed locally and distally from the initial site of stress exposure.
Molecules such as salicylic acid, jasmonic acid or ethylene are involved in various aspects of signal transduction leading to the activation of the complex defence response. Crosstalks were also observed between signal transduction pathways. Results will be presented that show how the perception of light interferes with defence signalling. It is now reasonable to consider the various signal transduction pathways for induced resistance as a large network. A boolean approach will be presented that allows a logical representation of the experimental results.
