Description: Higher plants have evolved sophisticated defence response mechanisms to mechanical injury that may otherwise promote extensive cell death. Plants are exposed to numerous stress factors, including abiotic stresses (e.g. wind, flooding, and drought) and biotic stresses (e.g., animal and insect herbivory, and fungal and other pathogens attack). Biotic stresses commonly introduce defence elicitor molecules (Leon eta/., 2001). There is also internal stress modulation of plant growth, including processes of cell development, xylem formation, fruiting, and flowering. Physiological responses of plants under severe stress include organ abscission and senescence (Kostenyuk and Bums, 2004). Physical wounding, including herbivory, and pathogen attack can cause the accumulation of defence compounds in plants. Some of these are directed towards reinforcing structural and/or chemical barriers against threats (Adie eta/., 2007). Defence mechanisms involve expression of defence genes locally, systemically, or both (Baldwin, 1998). Their activation involves various metabolic signalling pathways (Kessler and Baldwin, 2002; Knight and Knight, 2001; Rojo eta/., 2003).
