Unlocking BABA-induced resistance in tomato: A comprehensive multi-omics analysis

Plants have always been susceptible to various environmental stresses and attacks by pests and pathogens. Over time, they have evolved multiple defense mechanisms to repel potential attackers. However, the basal immune responses typically only slow down the colonization of pathogens, ultimately leading to significant global losses in plant production caused by fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, insects, and nematodes.
