Sugars and plant innate immunity KU Leuven
Sugars are involved in many metabolic and signaling pathways in plants. Sugar signals may also contribute to immune responses against pathogens and probably function as priming molecules leading to PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in plants. These putative roles also greatly depend on coordinated relationships with hormones and the light status in an intricate network. Although evidences in favor of ...
