Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Flush pruning gave tomato stem wounds absolute resistance.
- Observation Petiole stubs were highly susceptible to B. cinerea.
- Observation Wound resistance became nearly complete within 48 hours after deleafing.
- Mechanism Wound drying did not explain the decline in susceptibility.
- Association Disease-signaling mutants showed altered susceptibility to B. cinerea.
- Association Jasmonate-biosynthesis mutants had decreased susceptibility.
- Association Abscisic-acid-biosynthesis mutants had decreased susceptibility.
- Association Smooth-stem wound resistance persisted despite salicylic acid, ethylene, jasmonate or abscisic acid signaling disruption.
- Mechanism The authors infer that smooth-wound resistance does not depend on major disease signaling pathways.
