Abstract

This review addresses the various defense mechanisms that plants use corn and teosinte to pathogen attack, those considered constituent, also called passive or preexisting, formed by the structural characteristics of the cell wall and the presence of chemicals deposited in the epidermal tissue; inducible, formed by novo synthesis of antimicrobial chemical compounds after an attempted invasion of the plant tissue activated by a pathogen, these in order to preserve under different conditions.
