Abstract excerpt
Seed immune responses are an underexplored area in host-pathogen interactions, leaving seed-pathogen interactions poorly understood despite their considerable economic impact. This study examined tomato seed defences by assessing the antimicrobial activity (AA) of seed exudates during germination. Results showed genotype-dependent and constitutive defence responses from seeds showing AA in exudates. Seed priming...
