Abstract:Priming is defined as a physiological state induced by a priming stimulus that allows a plant to deploy a more rapid and more robust defense response to stresses compared with a non-primed plant. β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) has emerged as one of the best stimuli to study priming. Plants can synthesize BABA and accumulate it after being exposed to both biotic or abiotic stress. The plant immune system regulates BABA accumulation during pathogen infection. BABA concentrations vary depending on organ type and with… Show more
