La resistencia inducida puede subdividirse en dos categorías amplias. La primera es resistencia sistémica adquirida (RSA). Este tipo se describió inicialmente como una respuesta a infección de patógeno. Subsecuentemente se encontró que el tratamiento de plantas con compuestos de bajo peso molecular puede inducir RSA, la cual puede desarrollarse local o sistémicamente en respuesta a un patógeno que cause una lesión necrótica o una respuesta hipersensitiva (RH). [...] El segundo tipo de resistencia inducida se desarrolla sistémicamente. Se conoce como resistencia sistémica inducida (RSI) [...] 1, record 1, Spanish, - resistencia%20sist%C3%A9mica%20adquirida
