Abstract
The induction of resistance in plants presents as an alternative to be explored in several species. This process involves the activation of defense mechanisms, which are inactive or latent in the plant and do not require alterations in your genome. This activation can be effected by biotic and abiotic agents known as resistance inducers. The use of resistance inducers leads to activation of the systemic resistance, which leads to a marked reduction in symptoms of the disease after subsequent infections, including different species of pathogens. This chapter gathers information about diverse compounds of biological origin that can act as resistance inductors, as well as an interaction between plants and rhizosphere microorganisms that may result in the activation of this resistance system against pathogens.
