Priming in plant-pathogen interactions 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Plants can acquire enhanced resistance to pathogens after treatment with necrotizing attackers, nonpathogenic root-colonizing pseudomonads, salicylic acid, beta-aminobutyric acid and many other natural or synthetic compounds. The induced resistance is often associated with an enhanced capacity to mobilize infection-induced cellular defence responses - a process called 'priming'. Although the phenomenon has been known for years, most progress in our understanding of priming has been made only recently. These studies show that priming often depends on the induced disease resistance key regulator NPR1 (also known as NIM1 or SAI1) and that priming has a major effect on the regulation of cellular plant defence responses. 相似文献

Evidence has been obtained which is consistent with 9-cis-neoxanthin being a major precursor of abscisic acid (ABA) in higher plants. A mild, rapid procedure was developed for the extraction and analysis of carotenoids from a range of tissues. Once purified the carotenoids were identified from their light-absorbance properties, reactions with dilute acid, high-performance liquid chromatography Rts, mass spectra and the quasiequilibria resulting from iodine-catalysed or chlorophyllsensitised photoisomerisation. Two possible ABA precursors, 9-cis-neoxanthin and 9-cis-violaxanthin, were identified in extracts of light-grown and etiolated leaves (of Lycopersicon esculentum, Phaseolus vulgaris, Vicia faba, Pisum sativum, Cicer arietinum, Zea mays, Nicotiana plumbaginifolia, Plantago lanceolata and Digitalis purpurea), and roots of light-grown and etiolated plants (Lycopersicon, Phaseolus and Zea). The 9,9-di-cisisomer of violaxanthin was synthesised but its presence was not detected in any extracts. Levels of 9-cis-neoxanthin and all-trans-violaxanthin were between 20- to 100-fold greater than those of ABA in light-grown leaves. The levels of 9-cis-violaxanthin were similar to those of ABA but unaffected by water stress. Etiolated Phaseolus leaves contained reduced amounts of carotenoids (15–20% compared with light-grown leaves) but retained the ability to synthesise large amounts of ABA. The amounts of ABA synthesised, measured as increases in ABA and its metabolites phaseic acid and dihydrophaseic acid, were closely matched by decreases in the levels of 9-cis-neoxanthin and all-trans-violaxanthin. In etiolated seedlings grown on 50% D2O, deuterium incorporation into ABA was similar to that into the xanthophylls. Relative levels of carotenoids in roots and light-grown and etiolated leaves of the ABA-deficient mutants, notabilis, flacca and sitiens were the same as those found in wild-type tomato tissues.Abbreviations ABA

Nitric oxide (NO), first characterized as an endothelium-derived relaxation factor, is involved in diverse cellular processes including neuronal signaling, blood pressure homeostasis, and immune response. Recent studies have also revealed a role for NO as a signaling molecule in plants. As a developmental regulator, NO promotes germination, leaf extension and root growth, and delays leaf senescence and fruit maturation. Moreover, NO acts as a key signal in plant resistance to incompatible pathogens by triggering resistance-associated hypersensitive cell death. In addition, NO activates the expression of several defense genes (e.g. pathogenesis-related genes, phenylalanine ammonialyase, chalcone synthase) and could play a role in pathways leading to systemic acquired resistance. 相似文献

The role of abscisic acid in the ripening of grapes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ripening in grapes ( Vitis vinifera L. cv. Thompson seedless) was accompanied by an increase in the levels of sucrose, glucose and fructose and a decrease in the levels of acids. The activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-l–6-bisphospbatase was lower in sweet grapes as compared to sour ones. Abscisic acid (10−6 M) stimulated the gluconeogenic process in sour grapes. The levels of some gluconeogenic enzymes were also elevated in its presence. Cyclohexitnide (0.036–1.8 mM) nullified the abscisic acid effect, suggesting that this effect involves de novo protein synthesis. The incorporation of [14 C]-leucine into proteins was enhanced about 80% by abscisic acid, confirming that abscisic acid promoted protein synthesis. Again, cycloheximide blocked the hormone mediated increase in the incorporation of radioactivity into proteins. The results indicate that one of the factors for sourness in certain mature ripe grapes may be that abscisic acid is not available. 相似文献

Most plants are resistant to the majority of pathogens. Susceptibility is the exception to the more common state of resistance,
i.e., being refractory to infection. However, plant pathogens cause serious economic losses by reducing crop yield and quality.
Although such organisms are relatively simple genetic entities, in plants, the mechanisms underlying the generation of disease
symptoms and resistance responses are complex and, often, unknown. The study of genes associated with plant-pathogen resistance
addresses fundamental questions about the molecular, biochemical, cellular, and physiological means of these interactions.
Over the past 10 years, the cloning and analysis of numerous plant resistance genes has led researchers to formulate unifying
theories about resistance and susceptibility, and the co-evolution of plant pathogens and their hosts. In this review, we
discuss the identification of response genes that have been characterized at the molecular level, as well as their putative
links to various signaling pathways. We also summarize the knowledge regarding crosstalk among signaling pathways and plant
resistance genes. 相似文献

The analysis of plant proteomes has drastically expanded in the last few years. Mass spectrometry technology, stains, software and progress in bioinformatics have made identification of proteins relatively easy. The assignment of proteins to particular organelles and the development of better algorithms to predict sub-cellular localization are examples of how proteomic studies are contributing to plant biology. Protein phosphorylation and degradation are also known to occur during plant defense signaling cascades. Despite the great potential to give contributions to the study of plant-pathogen interactions, only recently has the proteomic approach begun to be applied to this field. Biological variation and complexity in a situation involving two organisms in intimate contact are intrinsic challenges in this area, however, for proteomics studies yet, there is no substitute for in planta studies with pathogens, and ways to address these problems are discussed. Protein identification depends not only on mass spectrometry, but also on the existence of complete genome sequence databases for comparison. Although the number of completely sequenced genomes is constantly growing, only four plants have their genomes completely sequenced. Additionally, there are already a number of pathosystems where both partners in the interaction have genomes fully sequenced and where functional genomics tools are available. It is thus to be expected that great progress in understanding the biology of these pathosystems will be made over the next few years. Cheaper sequencing technologies should make protein identification in non-model species easier and the bottleneck in proteomic research should shift from unambiguous protein identification to determination of protein function. 相似文献

Enzyme-inhibitor interactions at the plant-pathogen interface 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The plant apoplast during plant-pathogen interactions is an ancient battleground that holds an intriguing range of attacking enzymes and counteracting inhibitors. Examples are pathogen xylanases and polygalacturonases that are inhibited by plant proteins like TAXI, XIP, and PGIP; and plant glucanases and proteases, which are targeted by pathogen proteins such as GIP1, EPI1, EPIC2B, and AVR2. These seven well-characterized inhibitors have different modes of action and many probably evolved from inactive enzymes themselves. Detailed studies of the structures, sequence variation, and mutated proteins uncovered molecular struggles between these enzymes and their inhibitors, resulting in positive selection for variant residues at the contact surface, where single residues determine the outcome of the interaction. 相似文献

植物与病原微生物互作分子基础的研究进展 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
植物在与病原微生物共同进化过程中形成了复杂的免疫防卫体系。植物的先天免疫系统可大致分为两个层面。第一个层面的免疫基于细胞表面的模式识别受体对病原物相关分子模式的识别,该免疫过程被称为病原物相关分子模式触发的免疫(PAMP-triggered immunity,PTI),能帮助植物抵抗大部分病原微生物;第二个层面的免疫起始于细胞内部,主要依靠抗病基因编码的蛋白产物直接或间接识别病原微生物分泌的效应子并且激发防卫反应,来抵抗那些能够利用效应子抑制第一层面免疫的病原微生物,这一过程被称为效应子触发的免疫(Effector-triggered immunity,ETI)。这两个层面的免疫都是基于植物对"自我"及"非我"的识别,依靠MAPK级联等信号网络,将识别结果传递到细胞核内,调控相应基因的表达,做出适当的免疫应答。本文着重阐述了植物与病原微生物互作过程中不同层面的免疫反应所发生主要事件的分子基础及研究进展。 相似文献

Summary A series of double mutant homozygotes have been produced from three wilty tomato mutants; flacca, sitiens and notabilis. The phenotypic interaction between the mutant genes has been studied. The severity of phenotype in the double mutants does not correspond to that predicted from the single mutant homozygotes. The results are discussed in relation to the probable involvement of the mutants in abscisic acid metabolism. 相似文献

Pathogen recognition and signal transduction during plant pathogenesis is essential for the activation of plant defense mechanisms. To facilitate easy access to published data and to permit comparative studies of different pathogen response pathways, a database is indispensable to give a broad overview of the components and reactions so far known. PathoPlant has been developed as a relational database to display relevant components and reactions involved in signal transduction related to plant-pathogen interactions. On the organism level, the tables 'plant', 'pathogen' and 'interaction' are used to describe incompatible interactions between plants and pathogens or diseases. On the molecular level, plant pathogenesis related information is organized in PathoPlant's main tables 'molecule', 'reaction' and 'location'. Signal transduction pathways are modeled as consecutive sequences of known molecules and corresponding reactions. PathoPlant entries are linked to associated internal records as well as to entries in external databases such as SWISS-PROT, GenBank, PubMed, and TRANSFAC. PathoPlant is available as a web-based service at http://www.pathoplant.de. 相似文献

The effect of plant integrity and of aboveground-belowground defense signaling on plant resistance against pathogens and herbivores is emerging as a subject of scientific research. There is increasing evidence that plant defense responses to pathogen infection differ between whole intact plants and detached leaves. Studies have revealed the importance of aboveground-belowground defense signaling for plant defenses against herbivores, while our studies have uncovered that the roots as well as the plant integrity are important for the resistance of the potato cultivar Sarpo Mira against the hemibiotrophic oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Furthermore, in the Sarpo Mira–P. infestans interactions, the plant’s meristems, the stalks or both, seem to be associated with the development of the hypersensitive response and both the plant’s roots and shoots contain antimicrobial compounds when the aerial parts of the plants are infected. Here, we present a short overview of the evidence indicating the importance of plant integrity on plant defense responses. 相似文献

Genetic elucidation of nitric oxide signaling in incompatible plant-pathogen interactions 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Recent experiments indicate that nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in disease resistance and several other physiological processes in plants. However, most of the current information about the function of NO in plants is based on pharmacological studies, and additional approaches are therefore required to ascertain the role of NO as an important signaling molecule in plants. We have expressed a bacterial nitric oxide dioxygenase (NOD) in Arabidopsis plants and/or avirulent Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato to study incompatible plant-pathogen interactions impaired in NO signaling. NOD expression in transgenic Arabidopsis resulted in decreased NO levels in planta and attenuated a pathogen-induced NO burst. Moreover, NOD expression in plant cells had very similar effects on plant defenses compared to NOD expression in avirulent Pseudomonas. The defense responses most affected by NO reduction during the incompatible interaction were decreased H(2)O(2) levels during the oxidative burst and a blockage of Phe ammonia lyase expression, the key enzyme in the general phenylpropanoid pathway. Expression of the NOD furthermore blocked UV light-induced Phe ammonia lyase and chalcone synthase gene expression, indicating a general signaling function of NO in the activation of the phenylpropanoid pathway. NO possibly functions in incompatible plant-pathogen interactions by inhibiting the plant antioxidative machinery, and thereby ensuring locally prolonged H(2)O(2) levels. Additionally, albeit to a lesser extent, we observed decreases in salicylic acid production, a diminished development of hypersensitive cell death, and a delay in pathogenesis-related protein 1 expression during these NO-deficient plant-pathogen interactions. Therefore, this genetic approach confirms that NO is an important regulatory component in the signaling network of plant defense responses. 相似文献

Herbivores and pathogens often attack or infect the same plant parts, and the same plant traits can affect the likelihood and degree of damage. Research on plant-herbivore and plant-pathogen interactions in natural systems have, however, proceeded largely independently of each other. Our understanding of both types of plant-enemy interaction would be enhanced by greater exposure of researchers to developments in both disciplines and by more studies of interactions between pathogen and herbivore species associated with the same hosts. 相似文献

Summary In the presence of kinetin, a supposedly gametophytic bud inducing substance, the secondary protonema of the moss Physcomitrium pyriforme Brid., as well as producing leafy gametophytes, continued to exhibit its normal tendency of forming sporophytic buds (i.e. buds with apical cells having two cutting faces). Also remarkable was that callus derived from the secondary protonema, when cultured in a kinetin supplemented liquid medium, formed exclusively apogamous sporophytic buds with a virtual exclusion of gametophytes. In the presence of abscisic acid, the elongation of protonemal cells as well as their differentiation was markedly suppressed. This effect was manifest even when abscisic acid was used in conjunction with kinetin. It is suggested that rather than having a morphoregulatory role, kinetin may be responsible merely for enhancing cell proliferation. The determination of an apical cell with two cutting faces (sporophytic) or one with three cutting faces (gametophytic) is under the control of other factors both external, (e.g. sucrose) and internal. It is proposed that abscisic acid can suppress the usual differentiational capacity of the moss tissue, even in a favourable environment. 相似文献

We compared lipoxygenase (LOX) expression in cucumber in response to host and non-host pathogens. Our results displayed significant difference in expression of LOX between compatible and incompatible interaction at 12, 24 and 48 h after inoculation. Moreover, LOX expression at 72 h after inoculation was similar in both compatible and incompatible interaction. It seems that early induction of LOX plays a crucial role in plant defense against pathogens. 相似文献

Polygalacturonases, polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins and pectic oligomers in plant-pathogen interactions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Polygalacturonases (PGs) are produced by fungal pathogens during early plant infection and are believed to be important pathogenicity factors. Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) are plant defense proteins which reduce the hydrolytic activity of endoPGs and favor the accumulation of long-chain oligogalacturonides (OGs) which are elicitors of a variety of defense responses. PGIPs belong to the superfamily of leucine reach repeat (LRR) proteins which also include the products of several plant resistance genes. A number of evidence demonstrates that PGIPs efficiently inhibit fungal invasion. 相似文献

Phosphorylation is an effective method of post-translational protein modification but understanding its significance is hindered by its biological complexity. Many protein kinases and phosphatases have been identified that connect signal perception mechanisms to plant defence responses. Recent studies of mitogen-activated protein kinases, calcium-dependent protein kinases and other kinases and phosphatases have revealed some important mechanisms, but have also raised new questions. The regulation of any phosphorylation pathway is complex and dynamic. There are many protein kinases and phosphatases in the plant genome, which makes it hard to delineate the phosphorylation machinery fully. Genomics and proteomics have already identified new components and will continue to influence the study of phosphorylation profoundly in plant-pathogen interactions. 相似文献

The better rooting performance of stump sprouts offers the means of mass-producing rooted cuttings of many difficult-to-root genotypes. To study the physiological basis of rooting, stem cuttings were taken from stump sprouts of the more readily-rooted hybrid poplar cultivar DN ( P. deltoides × P. nigra ) and the difficult-to-root aspen hybrid cultivar AE ( P. alba × P. tremula ). Seasonal variation in rooting percentage of both the AE and DN cultivars (higher in winter and lower in late summer and fall) of poplar was correlated with higher and lower levels of abscisic acid (ABA), respectively, in fractionated extracts of poplar. The presence of ABA in the purified inhibitory fraction was unequivocally confirmed by (i) co-chromatography, (ii) gas chromatography-electron capture detector and isomerization with UV light and (iii) combined negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry. Although ABA was identified in the inhibitory fractions of mung bean bioassays of both poplar and aspen extracts, exogenous ABA did not inhibit rooting when applied at physiological concentrations. Since ABA levels were higher in the more readily-rooted hybrid poplar cultivar DN and were higher in February, close to the time of maximal rooting of cuttings, this suggests that ABA levels may possibly explain clonal and seasonal variation in rooting patterns of poplar stump sprouts. This interpretation is supported by the fact that lower, physiological concentrations increased rooting percentage, root number and root elongation when ABA was added to poplar and aspen cuttings. 相似文献

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a significant role in the regulation of many physiological processes of plants. It is often used
in tissue culture systems to promote somatic embryogenesis and enhance somatic embryo quality by increasing desiccation tolerance
and preventing precocious germination. ABA is also employed to induce somatic embryos to enter a quiescent state in plant
tissue culture systems and during synthetic seed research. Application of exogenous ABA improves in vitro conservation and
the adaptive response of plant cell and tissues to various environmental stresses. ABA can act as anti-transpirant during
the acclimatization of tissue culture-raised plantlets and reduces relative water loss of leaves during the ex vitro transfer
of plantlets even when non-functional stomata are present. This review focuses on the possible roles of ABA in plant tissue
culture and recent developments in this area. 相似文献
