We can expect the plants for the field study to also have responded with elevated resistance at the beginning, given that the inoculation treatment was identical for both the field and laboratory experiment.
For decades, cucumber has been the model plant for the study of plant sex determination [5], [6].
Arabidopsis has been used as model plant for the study of R. solanacearum-host interactions, but it is not a natural host of R. solanacearum and artifactual inoculation methods are required to generate symptoms [27].
Nicotiana tabacum has been used as an ideal model plant for the study of autophagy in plants for many years.
Arabidopsis has been used as a model plant for the study of ethylene signal transduction for the past two decades.
Tomato is a model plant for the study of climacteric fruit development, which is promoted by ethylene [ 2].
Medicago truncatula is a model plant for the study of legume biology, the draft sequence of which has been completed [ 15].
P. ginseng is a suitable plant for the study of autotoxicity because it is a highly valuable perennial herb and its biomass is affected by continuous cropping.
It is considered to be an ideal model plant for the study of autophagy in the processes of plant development and in the response to various severe environmental factors.
