Summary Introduction

Concept introduction: Systemic acquired resistance is a type of resistance response induced in a plant following an earlier attack by a pathogen. It protects the plant body from a wide range of fungal and viral attacks. Whenever a plant gets attacked by a pathogen, its systemic-acquired resistance gets activated by that moment itself. This type of resistance has a very close similarity with the innate immunity in mammals.
