Abstract
The role of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plant defence is discussed. SAR is tightly correlated with the expression of specific genes that confer resistance to disease. When SAR is eliminated, generalized severe disease susceptibility occurs. It is suggested that chemicals, including benzoic acid derivatives, that activate SAR in the field as well as crop varieties with constitutive SAR gene expression will provide new solutions to disease problems in the future.
