Molecular diversity of pathogen defence mechanisms in wild tomatoes (B13*)

在自然界中，我们很少观察到植物疾病的流行，但抗病性通常是定量的，并且在个体之间可能存在差异。然而，不同的植物防御反应的多样性和贡献是未知的。在这里，我们将展示野生番茄种群中早期病原体分子模式触发和晚期代谢防御反应的多样性。这将能够在地理和进化背景下将抗性特性与防御途径联系起来。

In nature, we rarely observe epidemics of plant diseases but disease resistance is often quantitative and can vary between individuals. However, the diversity and contribution to this of distinct plant defence responses is unknown. Here, we will show the diversity of early pathogen molecular pattern-triggered and late metabolic defence responses in populations of wild tomatoes. This will enable linking resistance properties with defence pathways in a geographical and evolutionary context.
