Plants resist to the majority of their potential aggressors by opposing physical and chemical barriers: cell walls, secondary metabolites... Phenomena of specific recognition between a plant variety and a pathovar induce on the one hand, a local (hypersensitive) reaction that tends to limit pathogen...
