Understanding chemical language between plants with a model of cultured woody plant

Abstract

Plants have a system of ‘priming and trigger’ for the effective defense system with phytoalexin. Attacked plants emit specific volatile compound(s), which have neighboring plants ready for production of phytoalexin. In case of studying tree, the size and hard tissue prevents biochemical and molecular biological research works. In this chapter, proposing a woody plant’s cell culture system as a study model of chemical communication and the primary results are presented.
