Textbook Question
Chapter 38, Problem 9U

b. induced hypersensitive response.
c. antimicrobial pathogen resistance.
d. systemic acquired resistance.

Students have asked these similar questions
Plants have systemic defense mechanisms (i.e., those that are not normally active but can be induced when the plant is under attack). Briefly describe an example of one systemic defense, including the processes, structures and/or molecules involved.
Systemic acquired resistance______ . a. occurs in response to pathogen detection b. causes the release of volatile chemicals c. is a hypersensitive response to pathogens d. defends the plant against herbivory e. does not involve hormones
