Exploring physiological and biochemical factors governing plant pathogen interaction: A review

Pathogen attack generates the stress full conditions which disrupts the host metabolic machinery causing an oxidative burst in plants and leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These molecules are responsible for all the metabolic changes occurring in host plant and alter the DNA, carbohydrates, lipids, sugar and protein content. In this review, we have discussed the various physiological and biochemical components that assist the plant in imparting resistance and along with the role of phytohormones viz., jasmonic acid, salicylic acid and abscisic acid during plant pathogen interaction...
