TL;DR: This review focused on main topics that guide induced resistance and therefore activation of plant immune response.

Abstract: Plants are fundamental elements of the human diet, either as direct sources of nutrients or indirectly as feed for animals During the past years, the main goal of agriculture has been to increase yield in order to provide the food that is needed by a growing world population However, as important as yield, but commonly forgotten in conventional agriculture, is to retain and, if possible, to increase the phytochemical content due to their health implications By 2025, the global population will exceed 7 billion In the short term, per capita availability of arable land and irrigation water will decrease from year to year while biotic and abiotic stresses expand Food security, defined as economic, physical, and social access to a balanced diet and harmless drinking water will be a compromise, with a holistic approach to nutritional and non-nutritional factors needed to achieve success in the eradication of hunger Science and technology will play a very important role in stimulating and sustaining agriculture leading to long-term increases in productivity without linked ecological harm

TL;DR: Although a variety of approaches have been used to alleviate the problem of drought, plant breeding seems to be an efficient and economic means of tailoring crops to enable them to grow successfully in drought-prone environments.

TL;DR: This finding laid the groundwork for subsequent detection of analogies between geminiviruses and animal DNA tumor viruses, especially in their interaction with pRb, and allowed the determination of how this interaction affects the regulation of the cell cycle in plants and animals.
