A Fungal Elicitor of the Resistance Response in Wheat

Year: 1985

Type: article

Abstract: An elicitor of the lignification response in wheat leaves was isolated from the germ-tube walls of wheat stem rust. The active compound causes metabolic changes typically correlated with the resistance response, i.e. the formation of lignin or lignin-like polymers in affected epidermal and mesophyll cells and the increased activities of enzymes involved in the phenylpropanoid-pathway.
