Sweet Immunity in wheat and tomato

In a changing world, crops with high yields and stress tolerance have always been the focus of agricultural research. Wheat is one of the major crops worldwide and tomato is commonly included in different diets, making up an essential part of a balanced and diverse diet. In general, plants are always subject to various external pressures, including biotic and abiotic stresses, causing damage, reducing plant yield and even causing plant death. Seeking more effective and safer ways to improve plant stress resistance and achieve sustainable development is an urgent problem to be solved. The use of biological control organisms (BCOs) and “priming” plants by spraying compounds are the most popular methods explored recently. This dissertation revolves around “Sweet immunity in wheat and tomato”. It explores the use of fructans and producing BCOs to improve a monocot (wheat) and dicot (tomato) against abiotic and biotic stresses. It opens up new avenues to study the effect of fructans in the ‘Sweet Immunity” context. Since exogenous polyamines and GABA are also known to influence endogenous sugar levels, we are also considering these compounds in the ‘Sweet Immunity’ context.
