Abstract
Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to defend themselves against pathogenic microorganisms. In addition to various constitutively formed, preinfectional mechanisms, the wide range of active defence reactions is of greatest importance (Keen 1986; Collinge and Slusarenko 1987; Fritig et al. 1987). Such reactions are induced after perception of a chemical signal provided by the invading pathogen. The de novo synthesis and differential accumulation in the plant of antimicrobial phytoalexins (Bailey and Mansfield 1982) in incompatible and compatible plant — pathogen interactions play crucial roles in the specificity of host resistance (Dixon 1986; Wood 1986).
