Such responses to wounds are found at the site of the wound and also systemically. These are mediated by hormones.[1] As a plant senses a wound, it immediately sends a signal for innate immunity. [3] These signals are controlled by hormones such as jasmonic acid, ethylene and abscisic acid. Jasmonic acid induces the prosystemin gene along with ...
The cause of cavitation and non-reversible embolism is not fully understood. In primary transmission, when the beetle feeds on a susceptible host pine, the pine wilt nematode enters the tree and feeds on the epithelial cells which line the resin ducts. This is referred to as the phytophagous phase of the nematode, and it results in pine wilt ...
