Priming of induced plant defense responses (2009, background): “The direct stimulation of defense responses by external application of high doses of SA or JA, or by the action of resistance genes reduces certain fitness characters, such as growth and fruit or seed set, under pathogen-free conditions (Agrawal et al., 1999; Baldwin, 1998; Cipollini, 2002; Heidel e”

Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Plants must efficiently balance resource allocation between growth and defence against stress, as responding to stress can be costly and reduce fitness in terms of growth and yield (Herms and Mattson, 1992; Tian et al., 2003; Smith and Stitt, 2007; Bechtold et al., 2010).”
Roles of plant small RNAs in biotic stress responses. (2009, background): “This modus operandus likely reflects an adaptation against prolonged defense activation, which considerably reduces plant fitness (70).”

Elicitors, effectors, and R genes: the new paradigm and a lifetime supply of questions. (2007, background): “What might the function of RPS2 be in backgrounds in which it does not recognize AvrRpt2? For both RPM1 and RPS2 there is evidence that the genes cause a fitness penalty to the host in the absence of the cognate pathogen (97, 170).”
