Plants possess pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that perceive microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) present in specific class of microorganisms but are absent in the hosts
The pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) perceive MAMPs or DAMPs by cell surface initiates a localized basal defense response called MAMP-triggered immunity
Effectors bind to their PRRs and R proteins defense responses are induced known as effector-triggered immunity
Systemin is an example of a plant-derived effector molecules found in tomato that is produced in response to wounding associated with herbivore activity
