“…Moreover, Hx treatment has been reported to protect tomato plants against hemi-biotrophic bacterium P.syringae pv tomato DC3000 (Vicedo et al, 2009). Recently, some studies have revealed that in this pathosystem, Hx treatment seems to counteract the negative effect of pathogen coronatine (COR), which requires JA-Ile on the SA pathway (Scalschi et al, 2013 (Britto and Kronzucker, 2002). This may include leaf chlorosis, lower plant yield production and root/shoot ratio, lower cation content, acidification of the rhizosphere, and changes in several metabolite levels, such as amino acids or organic acids (Britto and Kronzucker, 2002;Bittsánszky et al, 2015).…”
