Sentence examples for triggering defence from inspiring English sources

Ethephon exposure also led to the up-regulation of genes related to oxidative stress; active oxygen species, such as the superoxide radical generated during pathogen attack and abiotic stress, are recognised by plants as a signal for triggering defence responses (Vranova et al. [2002]).

The skin is also the largest sensory organ in our body, and it further contributes to homeostasis by sensing various disturbances occurring at the border of the two environments, including thermal disturbances, and triggering defence responses.

The physiological function of PEA in relation to algae is unclear, but PEA has been found to induce production of oxidative bursts in tobacco that has relatively high levels of PEA in its leaves and could be linked to triggering defence systems (Kawano et al. 2000).

Because the brain is so dependent on circulating glucose to fuel metabolism and support function, it makes teleological sense for brain areas to be involved in monitoring blood glucose and triggering defences.

Perception of both general and specific pathogen associated molecules triggers defence responses via signal transduction cascades and transcriptional activation of numerous genes [ 51].

8 Death anxiety may also trigger defence mechanisms such as denial or avoidance to minimise anxiety and distance the mortality threat.

The genes within this cluster may therefore encode weak Avr proteins that trigger defence responses in their plant host carrying the cognate receptor.

As cell wall defects can trigger defence responses through the jasmonate signalling pathway [ 24, 25], we tested whether JA-dependent defence responses were activated in hsr8-1 and if pft1-2 suppressed hsr8-1 sugar hypersensitivity through the JA signalling pathway.

Enzymes known to mediate microbial recognition and to trigger defence responses in plant species [ 56] were up-regulated by T39, and these included 66 receptor-like protein kinase genes, three protein kinase genes, and one protein phosphatase gene.

The triggered defence responses are elicited by signals, either derived from the invading organism (pathogen-associated or microbe-associated molecular patterns; PAMP and MAMP, respectively) or from the plant (host-associated molecular patterns).

We have revealed that both maize NAC transcription factors described here are responsive to jasmonic acid, while transcription of ZmNAC100 was also enhanced by salicylic acid, indicating that both transcription factors are indeed involved in phytohormone triggered defence responses.
