Generalized defense responses in organs distant from the infection site are called ________.
A) hyperactive responses
B) systemic acquired resistance
C) pleiotropy
D) hyperplasia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a generalized defense response in plants that occurs in organs distant from the initial site of infection or injury. It involves activation of various signaling pathways and expression of defense genes, resulting in enhanced resistance to future infections. Hyperactive responses, pleiotropy, and hyperplasia are not directly related to generalized defense responses in distant organs.
