Plant Defence: A New Weapon In The Arsenal
نویسنده
چکیده
Plants have evolved intricate defence mechanisms to cope with the wide array of microbial pathogens they encounter. The identification of Sgt1 as an essential component of R gene-mediated disease resistance suggests that the ubiquitin protein degradation pathway plays an important role in plant defence.

متن کاملPapaya Dieback in Malaysia: A StepTowards A New Insight of Disease Resistance
A recently published article describing the draft genome of Erwiniamallotivora BT-Mardi (1), the causal pathogen of papaya dieback infection in Peninsular Malaysia, hassignificant potential to overcome and reduce the effect of this vulnerable crop (2). The authors found that the draft genome sequenceis approximately 4824 kbp and the G+C content of the genomewas 52-54%, which is very similarto t...
متن کاملClass III peroxidases in plant defence reactions.
When plants are attacked by pathogens, they defend themselves with an arsenal of defence mechanisms, both passive and active. The active defence responses, which require de novo protein synthesis, are regulated through a complex and interconnected network of signalling pathways that mainly involve three molecules, salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET), and which results in ...
متن کاملGenetic dissection of basal defence responsiveness in accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana.
Basal resistance involves a multitude of pathogen- and herbivore-inducible defence mechanisms, ranging from localized callose deposition to systemic defence gene induction by salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA). In this study, we have explored and dissected genetic variation in the responsiveness of basal defence mechanisms within a selection of Arabidopsis accessions. Responsiveness of ...
