Pathogen attack, wounding, and herbivory trigger asymmetric activation of this defense signaling network, thereby affecting the final balance of interactions between its components and establishing a targeted response to the initial threat. Ethylene’s contribution to the modulation of this defense network relies on the complexity of the regulation of multigene families involved in ET biosynthesis, signal transduction, and crosstalk and enables the plant to fine-tune its response. The function of the members of these multigene families is tightly regulated at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational levels. It is generally accepted that ET cooperates with JA in the activation of defenses against necrotrophic pathogens and antagonizes SA-dependent resistance against biotrophic pathogens. However, this is likely an oversimplified view, because cooperative interactions between ET and SA pathways have been reported and ET has been implicated in the activation of defenses against some biotrophic and hemibiotrophic pathogens. Therefore, deciphering ET’s place in this hormonal network is essential to understanding how the cell orchestrates an optimal response to a specific biotic stress.

We extend the work of C. Schoen et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 110503 (2005)], where it was shown that all states generated in a sequential manner can be classified efficiently in terms of matrix-product states. In particular, we consider two scenarios: photonic multi-qubit states sequentially generated at the cavity output of a single-photon source and atomic multi-qubit states generated by their sequential interaction with the same cavity mode.

The unusual entry wound in the neck, makes this a rare event that to our knowledge has not been previously described in the literature. Magnetic resonance imaging allowed noninvasive and early diagnosis, and in the future probably will reveal the true incidence of cord compression in electrical injury victims.
