The following invention discloses a method for the control of plant diseases wherein a composition comprising a compound having the structure represented by one of the formulas from I to V, is applied to the plants. It also discloses the use of said compounds, or their salts for the stimulation of the natural defense and the induction of resistance against plant diseases. Moreover, it comprises the use of said compounds of structure represented by one of the formulas from I to V for the preventive or curative treatment of said diseases. A composition for agriculture, comprising a compound having the structure represented by one of the formulas from I to V, is also part of the invention.

Method for treating diseases in plants

The present invention describes a method for the stimulation of the natural defense and the induction of resistance to diseases in plants by simultaneous activation of genes related to the route of the salicylic acid, the jasmonic acid/ethylene and the hypersensitive response. The invention also includes the use of brassinosteroids for the preventive and curative treatment against plant diseases caused by pathogens. In addition, includes a method for the prevention and treatment of the Huanglongbing disease in citrus.

Method for inducing resistance to diseases in plants

The present invention reveals a nucleic acid sequence fromencoding for an anti-pathogenic protein. The invention comprises the use of this nucleic acid molecule in transgenic plants of agricultural interest to confer resistance to pathogens. The invention also includes a bioproduct that comprises this anti-pathogenic protein to control plant pathogen agents.
