WHAT DOES ELICITOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

elicitor

Elicitor

Elicitors, in biology, are compounds that when introduced into a living organism signal the activation or synthesis of another compound. An example of such a molecule is jasmonic acid, which stimulates the biosynthesis of delta-viniferin in grapevine cell cultures. Another example is chitosan which is used in agriculture as a natural biocontrol agent. Effectors differ from hormones, compounds produced in one part of an organism to cause a change in another part of that organism, in that they do not have to be produced within the organism that they are eliciting a response in, and are usually not naturally occurring in the organism.

Definition of elicitor in the English dictionary

The definition of elicitor in the dictionary is a molecule produced by a pathogen that induces a response by the pathogen.
