Induced resistance definition

The post-challenge or injury-dependent response of plants is a manifestation of induced resistance. For the lack of previous definitions the following is proposed ...

De Novo Synthesis of Phytoalexins. Phytoalexins have been studied in great depth by plant pathologists. Excellent review papers are available in Hedin s ACS symposium volume. Host Plant Resistance to Plants (42), and more recently in the book edited by Horsfall and Cowling, Plant Disease (43). The antiherbivory effect of phytoalexins, however, is only now beginning to be fully appreciated. It is apparent that pathogen induced phytoalexins do have a definite effect on insect herbivores. There is mounting evidence that herbivore-inflicted injury may also result in the induction of phytoalexin production and accumulation. 

The method of field-induced thermally stimulated current (FITSC) consists of measuring— according to a definite (usually linear) heating scheme—the currents generated by the buildup and release of a polarized state in a high-resistivity solid... 

As the reader will see, these results are most surprising and seem to indicate that there is indeed a progressive, stable, structural modification that is induced in the original solution by the successive dilutions/dynamizations. It is definitely interesting to note that these modifications not only resist low temperature freezing but, moreover, seem to orient the crystallization patterns. 

From the consumer s standpoint, body is associated with fullness, volume, springiness, and bounce. Clarke et al. [188] stated that the visual impact of voluminous hair moving in a controlled manner is a universal description of hair with body. Another definition of hair body given by Hough etal. [189] is a measure of a hair mass s resistance to and recovery from externally induced deformation. ...
