Step 1

Salicylic acid is indeed involved in triggering the synthesis of defense proteins in plants, so this option is correct. b. Brassinosteroids are involved in various processes, including cell elongation, division, and differentiation, but they are not specifically Show more…

Key Concepts

Plant Hormones

Plant hormones, or phytohormones, are naturally occurring regulatory compounds that in small amounts influence numerous aspects of plant growth, development, and responses to environmental challenges, including defense mechanisms.

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid is a key plant hormone involved in the activation of the plant's immune response. It plays a crucial role in systemic acquired resistance by signaling and triggering the synthesis of defense proteins that protect the plant against pathogenic attacks.
