“…Virulent pathogens induce rapid cellular defense responses such as AOS accumulation, callose and phenolic compound deposition, and augmented transcriptions of defense-related responses in plants primed by PGPR (Benhamou et al, 2002;Faize et al, 2004;Jeun et al, 2004;Pare et al, 2005;Park et al, 2002;Verhagen et al, 2010;Whipps, 2001;Yedidia et al, 2003). Besides arresting pathogen proliferation in planta, AOS are involved in cell wall fortification (Olivain et al, 2003) and protein cross-linking, and acts as signaling molecules mediating systemic resistance.…”
