Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constitutive defenses are physical or chemical barriers that are always present in the plant and provide a basic level of protection against pathogens or herbivores. Cutin, wax, suberin, and cell walls are all examples of constitutive defenses. Elicitors, on the other hand, are not constitutive defenses. They are molecules that are produced by pathogens or herbivores and can trigger an induced defense response in the plant.
