Plants have the ability to recognize and respond to a multitude of microorganisms. Recognition of pathogens results in a massive reprogramming of the plant cell to activate and deploy defense responses to halt pathogen growth. Such responses are associated with increased demands for energy, reducing equivalents, and carbon skeletons that are provided by primary metabolic pathways. Although pathogen recognition and downstream resistance responses have been the focus of major study, an intriguing and comparatively understudied phenomenon is how plants are able to recruit energy for the defense response. To that end, this review will summarize current research on energy-producing primary metabolism pathways and their role in fueling the resistance response.

Impact of root exudates and plant defense signaling on bacterial communities in the rhizosphere. A review (2011, background): “Increased expression of apoplastic invertases is observed under stress conditions, resulting in increased local sink strength to provide hexoses for stress alleviation (Roitsch et al. 2003; Bolton 2009).”
Abiotic Stress Responses and Microbe-Mediated Mitigation in Plants: The Omics Strategies (2017, background): “Such mechanisms cause metabolic re-programming in the cells (Heil and Bostock, 2002; Swarbrick et al., 2006; Shao et al., 2008; Bolton, 2009; Massad et al., 2012) to facilitate routine biophysico-chemical processes irrespective of the external…”
The effects of grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) on vine physiology (2016, background): “This is consistent with the fact that carbohydrate metabolism plays an important role in the activation of plant defence response (Rojas et al. 2014; Bolton 2009), which is a cost-intensive mechanism (Berger et al. 2007).”
Plant Responses to Simultaneous Biotic and Abiotic Stress: Molecular Mechanisms (2014, background): “disruption in plant metabolism implying physiological costs [1–4], and thus leading to a reduction in fitness and ultimately in productivity [5].”
Plant Defense against Insect Herbivores (2013, positive): “growth- and development-oriented to defense-oriented metabolism [383].”
Worldwide Research on Plant Defense against Biotic Stresses as Improvement for Sustainable Agriculture (2018, background): “Exposure of plants to biotic and abiotic stress produces changes in plant metabolism implying physiological damage [52], which makes those “physiological stress” and “metabolism””
Regulation of primary plant metabolism during plant-pathogen interactions and its contribution to plant defense (2014, background): “The combination of activities from primary metabolic pathways appears to be highly redundant, which explains in part the energy cost for the plant (Bolton, 2009).”
Fusarium Wilt of Watermelon: 120 Years of Research (2014, background): “D. Induced Resistance Plants are naturally protected against many diseases and herbivorous insects by a variety of constitutive morphological and chemical barriers that presumably coevolved along with their enemies (Bolton 2009).”
Observed and anticipated impacts of drought on forest insects and diseases in the United States (2016, background): “Overall, compromised physiological function and reduced productivity often leads to a higher vulnerability to insect attack (Bolton, 2009).”
