The plant disease response is a multifaceted system based on the ability of the plant to recognize and identify foreign invading molecules. When a plant is exposed to a pathogen, the disease response system acts in a defensive manner, activating a variety of pathways. The plant can respond directly or indirectly to the pathogen.
