Influence of different stresses on plant metabolism. The activation of induced resistance leads to the accumulation of numerous defence compounds that may unbalance the equilibrium between primary and secondary metabolism, thus resulting in fitness costs for the plant. On the other hand, the synthesis of secondary metabolites due to a stress may protect plant from other different stresses.
