Responsiveness of different plant genotypes to defense elicitors. Over a period of stress (Time 1–Time 3), Genotype 1 has low initial and final expression levels of a stress response gene and is susceptible to attack; Genotype 2 has increasing expression levels because the gene is inducible and Genotype 3 has high initial and final expression levels because it is constitutively expressed.
