Summary Introduction

To describe: The steps in hypersensitive response and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) that result after plant-pathogen interaction that produces effectors that are recognized by plant’s R proteins.

Introduction: The hypersensitive response is a characteristic of resistance, among several kinds of incompatible interactions that take place between a pathogen and plant. When a pathogen enters into the cells of a resistant plant, a complex cascade of signaling occurs. These events result in the death of plant cells at the infection site so that the pathogen that has penetrated would perish.
