  2. Salicylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicylic_acid

    Salicylic acid occurs in plants as free salicylic acid and its carboxylated esters and phenolic glycosides. Several studies suggest that humans metabolize salicylic acid in measurable quantities from these plants. [51] High-salicylate beverages and foods include beer, coffee, tea, numerous fruits and vegetables, sweet potato, nuts, and olive ...

  3. Plant-induced systemic resistance - Wikipedia

    As mentioned, salicylic acid is the mode of action for the SAR pathway. ISR enhances the defense systems of the plant by jasmonic acid (JA) mode of action. Both act on the effect of the NPR-1, but SAR utilizes PR genes. It is important to note that the two mediated responses have regulatory effects on one another.

  4. Wound response in plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_response_in_plants

    It is a derivative of the most rich fatty acid in the lipids of leaf membranes, alpha-linolenic acid. When plants experience mechanical wounding or herbivory, JA is synthesized de novo and induces genome-wide changes in gene expression. [5] JA travels through plants via the phloem, and accumulates in vascular tissue. [6]

  5. Plant defense against herbivory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_defense_against_herb...

    The herbivores saliva left on the leaves of the tree sends a chemical signal to the tree's cells. The tree cells respond by increasing the concentration of salicylic acid (hormone) production. [33] Salicylic acid is a phytohormone that is one of the essential hormones for regulating plants' immune systems. [34]

  6. Plant hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_hormone

    Salicylic acid. Salicylic acid (SA) is a hormone with a structure related to benzoic acid and phenol. It was originally isolated from an extract of white willow bark (Salix alba) and is of great interest to human medicine, as it is the precursor of the painkiller aspirin. In plants, SA plays a critical role in the defense against biotrophic ...

  7. Systemic acquired resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_acquired_resistance

    Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a "whole-plant" resistance response that occurs following an earlier localized exposure to a pathogen.SAR is analogous to the innate immune system found in animals, and although there are many shared aspects between the two systems, it is thought to be a result of convergent evolution. [1]

  8. Hypersensitive response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersensitive_response

    Hypersensitive response (HR) is a mechanism used by plants to prevent the spread of infection by microbial pathogens.HR is characterized by the rapid death of cells in the local region surrounding an infection and it serves to restrict the growth and spread of pathogens to other parts of the plant.
