About this Research Topic
The IOBC-Induced Resistance is one of the working groups within the International Organization for Biological Control. A meeting is organized periodically in which cutting-edge discoveries within the field of induced resistance against arthropods, pests, and pathogens are discussed. On the occasion of the organization of the next IOBC congress, we will be opening the opportunity to contribute to the article collection of Frontiers in Plant Science to all the attendees and non-attendees of the meeting interested in induced resistance and PR proteins.
One of the main objectives of biological control is based on sustainable agriculture and the production of food and feed with minimal chemical inputs. Among the scientifically more complex challenges is the understanding of induced resistance and defense priming in plants. In this Research Topic, we aim to gather contributions that decipher the molecular and physiological changes following sensing of resistance stimuli. We focus on the understanding of mechanisms behind induced resistance integrating the plant with other interacting micro and macro organisms in the soil and the canopy highlighting the following aspects:
• Perception and signaling
• Transcriptional control
• Cell wall immunity
• Epigenetic regulation
• Role of soil microbiome in plant immunity
• Tri-trophic interactions
• Past, present, and future of induced resistance research.
Please note that descriptive studies and those defining gene families or descriptive collection of transcripts, proteins, or metabolites, will not be considered for review unless they are expanded and provide mechanistic and/or physiological insights into the biological system or process being studied.
