Transcriptome Dynamics Underlying Planticine^®-Induced Defense Responses of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) to Biotic Stresses.

ABSTRACT: The induction of natural defense mechanisms in plants is considered to be one of the most important strategies used in integrated pest management (IPM). Plant immune inducers could reduce the use of chemicals for plant protection and their harmful impacts on the environment. Planticine^® is a natural plant defense biostimulant based on oligomers of α(1→4)-linked D-galacturonic acids, which are biodegradable and nontoxic. The aim of this study was to define the molecular basis of Planticine's biological activity and the efficacy of its use as a natural plant resistance inducer in greenhouse conditions. Three independent experiments with foliar application of Planticine^® were carried out. The first experiment in a climatic chamber (control environment, no pest pressure)
