Plants are constantly exposed to stressful situations due to changing environmental conditions or through their contact with numerous pests and pathogenic microorganisms. Plants have evolved various strategies to defend themselves against these stresses. Plant responses to these stresses are complex and involve numerous physiological, molecular, and cellular adaptations. These defensive traits may be naturally occurring or artiï¬Âcially selected through crop breeding, including introduction via genetic engineering. Such an interaction between both types of stress points to a crosstalk between their respective signaling pathways which may be synergistic and/or antagonistic and include among others the involvement of phytohormones, transcription factors, kinase cascades, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). These include systematic acquired resistance (SAR), induced systematic resistance (ISR) the resistance provided by symbiotic fungi, b-aminobutyric acid-induced resistance (BABAIR) and wound-induced resistance.
