Abstract: 
Disease resistance strategies reduce chemical input into the environment and are therefore powerful approaches to sustainable agriculture. Induced resistance (IR) has emerged as a potential alternative, or a complementary strategy, for crop protection. IR signifies the control of pathogens and pests by prior activation of plant defence pathways. A molecular understanding of IR in cereals, including the most important global crops wheat and rice, has been largely missing. Evidence indicating that central elements of IR pathways are conserved among Di- and Monocotyledoneae has only recently been presented, although their regulation and interaction with other plant pathways may be quite divergent. We present here a synopsis of current molecular knowledge of cereal IR mechanisms.
