Abstract

The purpose of this review article is to analyze, sum up and discuss the existing knowledge and recent concepts on the plant immune system based on the available literature. The main attention is focused on the major molecular players, mediators and regulators of this system, as well as on mechanisms of generation and progression of the different types of the immune response playing an important role in plant physiology, regeneration, resistance, and defense against a broad number of pathogens.
