Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) is activated in plants upon recognition by pattern receptors (PRRs) of damage- and microbe-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs MAMPs) derived from or microorganisms, respectively. To understand better the plant mechanisms involved perception carbohydrate-based structures recognized as DAMPs/MAMPs, we have studied ability mixed-linked β-1,3/1,4-glucans (MLGs), p...

Plants, unlike animals, lack specialized mobile immune cells, so they do not have an adaptive system. Instead, plants can launch specific, self-tolerant responses and establish memory. Plants possess defense mechanisms that efficiently detect ward off potentially dangerous microorganisms. These start with multiple signalling processes responsible for sensation, recognition, signal collection co...
