A plant sustains pathogen-induced damage to one of its cell walls.A gene-for-gene response soon follows and the tissue surrounding the injury soon dies.Which signaling molecules facilitated this response?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oligosaccharins are signaling molecules that play a role in plant defense responses, including the gene-for-gene response, which involves the recognition of pathogen-derived molecules and leads to localized cell death to prevent the spread of the pathogen.
