Preface
The sustainable production of foodstuff to nurse the increasing world population is a foremost challenge for plant scientists, especially due to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of global climatic conditions. Plants during their life cycles are generally encountered to a massive number of microbial pathogens, including bacteria, virus and fungi as well as nematodes, herbivorous and insects, in addition to numerous kinds of abiotic stressors such as drought, increasing soil salinity, and nonseasonal cold and heat waves. Plants are furnished with an array of defense mechanism to protect themselves against pathogen attack, and these defense mechanisms require a new state of cellular homeostasis be attained. Some of these plant defense mechanisms are preexisted even before pathogen attack, whereas other defense mechanisms are only inducted upon pathogen or insect invasion. Induced plant defense responses is usually a fitness cost, and thus, plants elaborate several regulatory mechanisms that efficiently organize the initiation of pathogenspecific defenses
