Oligogalacturonides: plant damage-associated molecular patterns and regulators of growth and development.

Oligogalacturonides (OGs) are oligomers of alpha-1,4-linked galacturonosyl residues released from plant cell walls upon partial degradation of homogalacturonan. OGs are able to elicit defence responses, including accumulation of reactive oxygen species and pathogenesis-related proteins, and protect...
