Systemic Acquired Resistance in Moss: Further Evidence for Conserved Defense Mechanisms in Plants

Vascular plants possess multiple mechanisms for defending themselves against pathogens. One well-characterized defense mechanism is systemic acquired resistance (SAR). In SAR, a plant detects the presence of a pathogen and transmits a signal throughout the plant, inducing changes in the expression o...
