Abstract:Polyamines (PAs), which are aliphatic polycationic compounds with a low molecular weight, are found in all living organisms and play essential roles in plant–pathogen interactions. Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, the most common PAs in nature, respond to and function differently in plants and pathogens during their interactions. While plants use certain PAs to enhance their immunity, pathogens exploit PAs to facilitate successful invasion. In this review, we compile recent studies on the roles of PAs in … Show more
