“…The traditional plant defense response related to the hormones salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET) are interlinked in a complex network regulating plant immunity ( Conrath, 2006 ; Mishina and Zeier, 2007 ; Pieterse et al., 2009 ; Engelberth et al., 2011 ; Fragnière et al., 2011 ; Pieterse et al., 2014 ). These compounds and their volatile derivatives are well-documented as priming agents in many physiological processes ( Farmer and Ryan, 1990 ; Engelberth et al., 2011 ; Song and Ryu, 2018 ; Avramova, 2019 ; Zhao et al., 2020 ; Singewar et al., 2021 ). In last decades, the participation of CKs in biotic ( Choi et al., 2011 ; Cortleven et al., 2019 ) and abiotic ( Barciszewski et al., 2000 ; Wani et al., 2016 ) stress responses has also been demonstrated; however, less is known about the molecular aspects of CKs in priming.…”
