In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers have discovered that the plant BABA-induced resistance (BABA-IR) in tomato plants can provide a comprehensive, multi-omics level of protection against multiple pathogens. The study, conducted at the University of California, Riverside, is the first to show that BABA-IR can provide a broad-spectrum of defense against multiple pathogens in plants, both through direct and systemic effects. The findings are important for plant disease control, and may eventually lead to more effective strategies for controlling plant diseases.
