How plants sense wounds: damaged-self recognition is based on plant-derived elicitors and induces octadecanoid signaling.

<h4>Background</h4>Animal-derived elicitors can be used by plants to detect herbivory but they function only in specific insect-plant interactions. How can plants generally perceive damage caused by herbivores? Damaged-self recognition occurs when plants perceive molecular signals of dam...
