Priming: getting ready for battle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infection of plants by necrotizing pathogens or colonization of plant roots with certain beneficial microbes causes the induction of a unique physiological state called "priming." The primed state can also be induced by treatment of plants with various natural and synthetic compounds. Primed plants display either faster, stronger, or both activation of the various cellular defense responses that are induced following attack by either pathogens or insects or in response to abiotic stress. Although the phenomenon has been known for decades, most progress in our understanding of priming has been made over the past few years. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of priming in various induced-resistance phenomena in plants.

Getting Secretory Granules Ready for Prime Time
Several rare human diseases have shed important light on the secretory pathway required for lymphocyte cytotoxicity. In this issue of Cell, Feldmann et al. identify mutations in Munc13-4 as a cause of familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Munc13-4 appears to be involved in the priming of cytotoxic granules prior to fusion with the plasma membrane.
متن کاملPlant defense priming against herbivores: getting ready for a different battle.
Plants have evolved various strategies to defend themselves against herbivores and pathogens. Although some of these strategies are constitutive, i.e. present at all times, others are induced only in response to herbivore feeding or pathogen infection. The induction of direct and indirect plant defenses in response to herbivory and other biotic stresses is well established (Karban and Baldwin, ...
متن کاملPreparing to fight back: generation and storage of priming compounds
Immune-stimulated plants are able to respond more rapidly and adequately to various biotic stresses allowing them to efficiently combat an infection. During the priming phase, plant are stimulated in absence of a challenge, and can accumulate and store conjugates or precursors of molecules as well as other compounds that play a role in defense. These molecules can be released during the defensi...
متن کاملGetting ready to move: transmitted information in the corticospinal pathway during preparation for movement.
Corticospinal interactions are considered to play a key role in executing voluntary movements. Nonetheless several different studies have shown directly and indirectly that these interactions take place long before movement starts, when preparation for forthcoming movements dominates. When motor-related parameters are continuously processed in several premotor cortical sites, segmental circuitr...
متن کاملMunc13-1 and Munc18-1 together prevent NSF-dependent de-priming of synaptic vesicles
Synaptic transmission requires a stable pool of release-ready (primed) vesicles. Here we show that two molecules involved in SNARE-complex assembly, Munc13-1 and Munc18-1, together stabilize release-ready vesicles by preventing de-priming. Replacing neuronal Munc18-1 by a non-neuronal isoform Munc18-2 (Munc18-1/2SWAP) supports activity-dependent priming, but primed vesicles fall back into a non...
