It has been repeatedly demonstrated that plants are protected against disease by using procedures that are essentially identical to those used to immunize animals ( 1 - 9 ). Plants inoculated or treated with cultivar nonpathogenic races of pathogens, avirulent forms of pathogens, non-pathogens, heat-attenuated pathogens and high molecular weight products of infectious agents are protected against disease caused by subsequent infection by pathogens ( 1, 2, 4 - 6, 10 - 23 ). Recovery from disease or limited disease caused by a pathogen also systemically protect plants against disease caused by subsequent infection by the same pathogen or occasionally unrelated pathogens ( 4, 5, 17, 24 - 26 ). It is also evident that infectious agents elicit the accumulation of antibiotic chemicals (phytoalexins or stress metabolites) around sites of infection, and in resistant interactions these substances often rapidly attain concentrations that inhibit development of many infectious agents ( 1, 18, 27 - 32 ). Clearly, the elicitation of disease resistance in a animals and plants is not
