ABSTRACT=<p>Plants respond to <italic>Ralstonia solanacearum</italic> infestation through two layers of immune system (PTI and ETI). This process involves the production of plant-induced resistance. Strategies for inducing resistance in plants include the formation of tyloses, gels, and callose and changes in the content of cell wall components such as cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and suberin in response to pathogen infestation. When <italic>R</italic>. <italic>solanacearum</italic> secrete cell wall degrading enzymes, plants also sense the status of cell wall fragments through the cell wall integrity (CWI) system, which activates deep-seated defense responses. In addition, plants also fight against <italic>R</italic>. <italic>solanacearum</italic> infestation by regulating the distribution of metabolic networks to increase the production of resistant metabolites and reduce the production of metabolites that are easily exploited by <italic>R</italic>. <italic>solanacearum</italic>. We review the strategies used by plants to induce resistance in response to <italic>R</italic>. <italic>solanacearum</italic> infestation. In particular, we highlight the importance of plant-induced physical and chemical defenses as well as cell wall defenses in the fight against <italic>R</italic>. <italic>solanacearum</italic>.</p>
