“…MAMPs such as polypeptides, glycoproteins, lipids, glycolipids, and oligosaccharides, as well as DAMPs released by microbial hydrolytic enzymes from plant components, such as cell-wall fragments, have been characterized and are known to trigger defense responses that require the activation of SA-, JA-, and ET-induced signaling pathways [18][19][20]. The novel elicitor AsES (Patent EPC N • 12.720.221.6-1410) is a member of subtilisinrelated alkaline proteases and its proteolytic activity is necessary to induce systemic defense responses in strawberry plants against Colletotrichum acutatum, a hemibiotrophic pathogen that is the causal agent of anthracnose disease in strawberry [21].…”
