Pea–Fusarium solani Interactions Contributions of a System Toward Understanding Disease Resistance

There are various model systems of host–parasite interactions that have contributed to our knowledge of signaling. This minireview will focus on disease resistance features, present and generated in the interactions between pea and Fusarium solani. Initially, both pea seedling and pea endocarp tissue systems were developed for studying the induction of the antifungal phytoalexin pisatin (17).
