Glutamate metabolism in induced resistance against plant pathogens

Key Points

• Induced resistance enhances defense mechanisms against plant pathogens, driven by glutamate metabolism.
• Key signaling pathways involving glutamate play a critical role in mediating plant responses to pathogens.
• Analysis of metabolic changes illustrates how glutamate influences plant resilience against diseases.
• These findings may enable the development of new strategies for improving crop protection against pathogens.
