extracellular alkalinization as a defense response in potato cells.	a quantitative and robust bioassay to assess plant defense response is important for studies of disease resistance and also for the early identification of disease during pre- or non-symptomatic phases. an increase in extracellular ph is known to be an early defense response in plants. in this study, we demonstrate extracellular alkalinization as a defense response in potatoes. using potato suspension cell cultures, we observed an alkalinization response against various pathogen- and plant-deriv ...	2017	28174578
