Lignification as a Mechanism of Disease Resistance
Abstract
This review deals with the formation of lignin as a mechanism of resistance to plant disease. Lignin is one of the most abundant biopo1ymers on earth (120, 140) and is resistant to degradation by most microorganisms (83,84). It is thought to be formed commonly as a response to microbial penetration and mechanical damage (51, 71, 111, 140), but the role of lignification in disease resistance has been investigated in only a limited number of cases. The possible specificity of lignin formation in disease resistance remains unresolved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
