Immune defense as key for plants conquering land
A new study demonstrates that one of the two branches of plant immunity was likely to have evolved early during the establishment of plants on dry land. This insight into prehistoric plant immunity may have implications for breeding more resistant plant species.

New #publication:
We compared the influence of two #resistance inducers, BTH and Chol-BTH (#ionicliquid) on #plantdefense & #antioxidant properties of #plants using #transcriptomics and targeted #metabolomics.
We found out that Chol-BTH, due to its physicochemical & biological properties (upregulation of lignification-related genes, #peroxidase activity, total #phenolic compounds levels) can also be useful agent inducing plant resistance against viral pathogens
