Summary:A clear definition of induced disease resistance is lacking, even though the area has been extensively researched and described. The lack of a precise definition leads to potential confusion on whether an underlying mechanism for biological control is induced resistance. We propose definitions, which were developed at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on biological control, for induced disease resistance and related terms. These definitions are intended to invoke debate and increase effective communication among investigators of induced resistance.
