  The plant defense response involves large changes in gene expression. Several inducers involved in such induction are known, including endogenous low-molecular weight compounds, as well as those derived from the pathogen such as membrane and cell wall fragments and secondary metabolites. Salicylic acid and hydrogen peroxide are well-known inducers of the response to pathogen attack, and synthetic compounds analogous to some of these resistance inducers show similar effects. Foliar fertilizers, besides the beneficial effect on plant growth, have been shown in some pathosystems to limit pathogen infection, particularly during phytoplasmoses. However, their modes of action in these cases are poorly understood. In order to gain insight into the mechanisms through which these complex mixtures may induce the defense response, the effect of one of this foliar fertilizers, NPKoligosaccharin.. View More»
