title: Assessment of Cytokinin-Induced Immunity Through Quantification of Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis Infection in Arabidopsis thaliana.
abstract: Cytokinins have been shown to regulate plant immunity. Application of high levels of cytokinin to plants leads to decreased susceptibility to pathogens. In this chapter, we describe a fast and accurate protocol for assessment of cytokinin-induced immunity in Arabidopsis plants against an oomycete plant pathogen.
