title: Local and systemic signals in the wound response.
abstract: An injury applied to one site on a plant can lead to changes in gene expression in the region of the wound and in distant unwounded regions of the organism. This implies that local and systemic signals must operate to link the initial stimulus to the wound-induced effects. Current evidence for the involvement of chemical and physical signalling mechanisms is critically reviewed, drawing on data from studies of the wound response in planta, mutant analyses and the use of bioassays.
