The series of metabolic events that occurs within tomato plants in response to wounding is known as

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "systemic response" refers to the cascade of metabolic events that occur throughout a plant in response to a localized stimulus, such as wounding. This suggests that option A is the correct answer. Option B, "waterfall effect," is not a commonly used term in plant biology and is not applicable to this context. The hypersensitive response (C) is a type of programmed cell death that occurs in response to a pathogen invasion, and is not directly related to wounding. Similarly, pathogen-specific responses (D) refer to the plant's specific immune response to different types of pathogens, and would not be specifically related to wounding. Resistance to coevolution (E) is a more broad concept that refers to the evolution of plants in response to pathogens and other environmental factors over time.
