Biologically active compounds induce PR gene expression and systemic acquired resistance in tobacco [109,111]... 

A structurally very similar molecule, tiadinil (11, Fig. 13.3.2), has been shown to have another mode of action as it is an activator of systemic acquired resistance and induces defense gene expression [13]. This illustrates that succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors cannot be recognized based on their structure alone.
