From: Uncovering the transcriptional responses of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) roots to Ralstonia solanacearum infection: a comparative study of resistant and susceptible cultivars

A model pathway involved in resistance against tobacco bacterial wilt. The tobacco reaction to R. solanacearum infection and the systematic pathway involved in resistance. The signals from the pathogens were recognized through related receptors (R genes) and transcription factors, which triggered the plant defense mechanism. After that, defense-related molecules/genes, including PR-proteins, metabolites, glutathione and phenylpropane genes, were activated to cause resistance to pathogens through high expression levels
