In this way, we identified 1-methyltryptophan (1-MT), a natural compound produced by tomato plants in response to <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> attack, whose application by soil drench provided protection against this pathogen. In the present work, we have studied the mechanisms underlying this protection. The results demonstrated that 1-MT can be considered a new activator of ...[more]
