Gracilaria conferta (Schousboe ex Montagne) J. et G. Feldmann responded with an oxidative burst and rapid increases in respiration and halogenating activity when agar, agarose, or the agarose degradation products neoagarotetraose and neoagarohexaose were added to the growth medium. In contrast, carrageenan, oligocarrageenans, neoagarobiose, l-galactose, d-galactose, and several other mono- and oligosaccharides did not have any effect. Sixfold increases in respiration were observed 3 min after addition of neoagarohexaose. The response could only be induced in species of the genera Gracilaria and Gracilariopsis. Neoagarohexaose also elicited a release of hydrogen peroxide in less than 15 min, resulting in an immediate increase in algal brominating activity. Bleached thallus tips appeared a few hours after the addition of neoagarohexaose. This effect was dependent on the release of hydrogen peroxide and exposure to light. Exposure to light and oligosaccharide elicitors increased the production of reactive oxygen species, which reached destructive concentrations when both mechanisms were simultaneously active. Concentrations of 0.1 to 3.3 μM agarose or agars were sufficient to trigger an increase in respiration, an oxidative burst response, and tip bleaching. However, higher concentrations of neoagarohexaose and neoagarotetraose were necessary to elicit the responses, indicating that the alga is more sensitive to oligoagars with degrees of biose-polymerization > 3. The extremely short reaction time and high specificity indicate that intermediates of agar degradation are recognized by Gracilaria as messengers when microbial degradation of its cell wall occurs. The physiological responses may represent the early stages of algal defense mechanisms involved in repression of pathogen ingress. 相似文献

Of 45 bacterial isolates from healthy tips of Gracilaria conferta (Schousboe ex Montagne) J. et G. Feldmann, 29% were identified
as ‘conditional inducers’ of an apical necrosis. That is, the isolates induced necrotic tips in G. conferta within 16 h after
elimination of most of the resident microflora from the alga. Several disinfectants and antibiotics were screened for their
ability to induce algal susceptibility to the bacteria and to suppress uncontrolled appearance of tip necrosis. Treatment
with 100 mg L-1 Cefotaxim + 100 mg L-1Vancomycin over three days was the least damaging and most efficient. Tip necrosis was related to isolates of the Corynebacterium-Arthrobacter-group
and to the Flavobacterium-Cytophaga-group. The damaging effect occurred due to the bacterial excretion of active agents and
was not correlated with acapability to degrade agar. The damaging influence of four Cytophaga-likestrains was inhibited by
20 of 40 isolates. This protective effect was caused by very different organisms. In five of six cases examined further, the
effect was not cellbound, but due to the excretion of agents. These were not antimicrobially active, but inactivated necrosis-inducing
excretions. These results indicate that epiphytic bacterial degradation or inactivation of damaging agents is a protecting
factor in Gracilaria, which prevents the alga from being harmed by epiphytes.

STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS OF OLIGOAGAR ELICITORS TOWARD GRACILARIA CONFERTA (RHODOPHYTA) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Agar oligosaccharides in the neoagarobiose series were prepared by partial enzyme hydrolysis, separated on Biogel P2 and P4, and analyzed by high-performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection, yielding neoagarosaccharide fractions with a disaccharide repetition degree ranging from 1 (neoagarobiose) to more than 8 (neoagarohexadecaose). These fractions were analyzed for their biological activity toward the marine red alga Gracilaria conferta (Schousboe ex Montagne) J. et G . Feldmann in terms of increase of oxygen consumption, release of hydrogen peroxide, elimination of epiphytic bacteria, and induction of thallus tip bleaching. The structure–activity and dose–response relationships of neoagarosaccharides were very similar in the respiratory and oxidative burst responses and in their bactericidal properties, with neoagarosaccharides consisting of 6 to 8 disaccharide repeating units being the most active. All these responses were competitively inhibited by the reduced form of neoagarohexaose, neoagarohexaitol. In contrast, the tip-bleaching response was light dependent, required much higher concentrations of neoagarosaccharides, and was not inhibited by neoagarohexaitol, suggesting that it is an unspecific oxidative stress reaction. Putative structural effects on the recognition of endogenous agar-oligosaccharide elicitors by G. conferta are discussed. 相似文献

Activation of two mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), wound-induced protein kinase (WIPK) and salicylic acid-induced protein kinase (SIPK), is one of the earliest responses that occur in tobacco plants that have been wounded, treated with pathogen-derived elicitors or challenged with avirulent pathogens. We isolated cDNAs for these MAPKs ( NbWIPK and NbSIPK) from Nicotiana benthamiana. The function of NbWIPK and NbSIPK in mediating the hypersensitive response (HR) triggered by infiltration with INF1 protein (the major elicitin secreted by Phytophthora infestans), and the defense response to an incompatible bacterial pathogen ( Pseudomonas cichorii), was investigated by employing virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) to inhibit expression of the WIPK and SIPK genes in N. benthamiana. Silencing of WIPK or SIPK, or both genes simultaneously, resulted in reduced resistance to P. cichorii, but no change was observed in the timing or extent of HR development after treatment with INF1.Communicated by R.

Induction of systemic acquired resistance in cucumber by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae 61 HrpZPss protein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is an inducible plant defense response and is effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens. Biological induction of SAR usually follows plant cell death resulting from the plant hypersensitive response (HR) elicited by an avirulent pathogen or from disease necrosis caused by a virulent pathogen. The elicitation of the HR and disease necroses by pathogenic bacteria is controlled by hrp genes. Previously, it was shown that the Pseudomonas syringae 61 (Pss61) HrpZPss protein (formally harpinPss ) elicited the HR in plants. In this study, it is shown that HrpZPss induced SAR in cucumber to diverse pathogens, including the anthracnose fungus ( Colletotrichum lagenarium ), tobacco necrosis virus and the bacterial angular leaf spot bacterium ( P. s. pv. lachrymans ). A hrpH mutant of Pss61, which is defective in the secretion of HrpZPss and, possibly, other protein elicitors, failed to elicit SAR. Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, including peroxidase, β-glucanase and chitinases, were induced in cucumber plants inoculated with Pss61, C. lagenarium or HrpZPss . The induction patterns of PR proteins by HrpZPss and Pss61 were the same, but were different from that induced by C. lagenarium . Interestingly, the hrpH mutant induced two of the three identified PR proteins, despite its failure to induce SAR. These results suggest that proteinaceous elicitors, such as HrpZPss , that traverse the bacterial Hrp secretion pathway are involved in the biological induction of SAR and that at least some PR proteins can be induced by bacterial factors that are not controlled by hrp genes. 相似文献

Injection into tobacco leaves of biotype 1 Agrobacterium tumefaciens or of Pseudomonas savastanoi inhibited the development of a visible hypersensitive response to the subsequent injection at the same site of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola. This interference with the hypersensitive response was not seen with injection of bacterial growth medium or Escherichia coli cells. Live A. tumefaciens cells were required for the inhibitory effect. Various mutants and strains of A. tumefaciens were examined to determine the genes involved. Known chromosomal mutations generally had no effect on the ability of A. tumefaciens to inhibit the hypersensitive response, except for chvB mutants which showed a reduced (but still significant) inhibition of the hypersensitive response. Ti plasmid genes appeared to be required for the inhibition of the hypersensitive response. The bacteria did not need to be virulent in order to inhibit the hypersensitive response. Deletion of the vir region from pTi had no effect on the inhibition. However, the T region of the Ti plasmid was required for inhibition. Studies of transposon mutants suggested that the tms but not tmr or ocs genes were required. These genes were not acting after transfer to plant cells since they were effective in strains lacking vir genes and thus unable to transfer DNA to plant cells. The results suggest that the expression of the tms genes in the bacteria may inhibit the development of the hypersensitive response by the plant. An examination of the genes required in P. savastanoi for the inhibition of the hypersensitive response suggested that bacterial production of auxin was also required for the inhibition of the hypersensitive response by these bacteria. 相似文献

The type III secretion system (TTSS) is a specialized protein secretion machinery used by numerous gram-negative bacterial pathogens of animals and plants to deliver effector proteins directly into the host cells. In plant-pathogenic bacteria, genes encoding the TTSS were discovered as hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (hrp) genes, because mutation of these genes typically disrupts the bacterial ability to cause diseases on host plants and to elicit hypersensitive response on nonhost plants. The hrp genes and the type III effector genes (collectively called TTSS genes hereafter) are repressed in nutrient-rich media but induced when bacteria are infiltrated into plants or incubated in nutrient-deficient inducing media. Multiple regulatory components have been identified in the plant-pathogenic bacteria regulating TTSS genes under various conditions. In Ralstonia solanacearum, several signal transduction components essential for the induction of TTSS genes in plants are dispensable for the induction in inducing medium. In addition to the inducing signals, recent studies indicated the presence of negative signals in the plant regulating the Pseudomonas syringae TTSS genes. Thus, the levels of TTSS gene expression in plants likely are determined by the interactions of multiple signal transduction pathways. Studies of the hrp regulons indicated that TTSS genes are coordinately regulated with a number of non-TTSS genes. 相似文献

The perception of microbial signal molecules is part of the strategy evolved by plants to survive attacks by potential pathogens. To gain a more complete understanding of the early signaling events involved in these responses, we used radioactive orthophosphate to pulse-label suspension-cultured cells of Arabidopsis in conjunction with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry to identify proteins that are phosphorylated rapidly in response to bacterial and fungal elicitors. One of these proteins, AtPhos43, and related proteins in tomato and rice, are phosphorylated within minutes after treatment with flagellin or chitin fragments. By measuring (32)P incorporation into AtPhos43 immunoprecipitated from extracts of elicitor-treated hormone and defense-response mutants, we found that phosphorylation of AtPhos43 after flagellin treatment but not chitin treatment is dependent on FLS2, a receptor-like kinase involved in flagellin perception. Induction by both elicitors is not dependent on salicylic acid or EDS1, a putative lipase involved in defense signaling. 相似文献

Pathogen-induced elicitin production in transgenic tobacco generates a hypersensitive response and nonspecific disease resistance. 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

The rapid and effective activation of disease resistance responses is essential for plant defense against pathogen attack. These responses are initiated when pathogen-derived molecules (elicitors) are recognized by the host. We have developed a strategy for creating novel disease resistance traits whereby transgenic plants respond to infection by a virulent pathogen with the production of an elicitor. To this end, we generated transgenic tobacco plants harboring a fusion between the pathogen-inducible tobacco hsr 203J gene promoter and a Phytophthora cryptogea gene encoding the highly active elicitor cryptogein. Under noninduced conditions, the transgene was silent, and no cryptogein could be detected in the transgenic plants. In contrast, infection by the virulent fungus P. parasitica var nicotianae stimulated cryptogein production that coincided with the fast induction of several defense genes at and around the infection sites. Induced elicitor production resulted in a localized necrosis that resembled a P. cryptogea-induced hypersensitive response and that restricted further growth of the pathogen. The transgenic plants displayed enhanced resistance to fungal pathogens that were unrelated to Phytophthora species, such as Thielaviopsis basicola, Erysiphe cichoracearum, and Botrytis cinerea. Thus, broad-spectrum disease resistance of a plant can be generated without the constitutive synthesis of a transgene product. 相似文献

There is much interest in the transduction pathways by which avirulent pathogens or derived elicitors activate plant defense responses. However, little is known about anion channel functions in this process. The aim of this study was to reveal the contribution of anion channels in the defense response triggered in tobacco by the elicitor cryptogein. Cryptogein induced a fast nitrate (NO(3)(-)) efflux that was sensitive to anion channel blockers and regulated by phosphorylation events and Ca(2+) influx. Using a pharmacological approach, we provide evidence that NO(3)(-) efflux acts upstream of the cryptogein-induced oxidative burst and a 40-kD protein kinase whose activation seems to be controlled by the duration and intensity of anion efflux. Moreover, NO(3)(-) efflux inhibitors reduced and delayed the hypersensitive cell death triggered by cryptogein in tobacco plants. This was accompanied by a delay or a complete suppression of the induction of several defense-related genes, including hsr203J, a gene whose expression is correlated strongly with programmed cell death in plants. Our results indicate that anion channels are involved intimately in mediating defense responses and hypersensitive cell death. 相似文献

In tritrophic interactions, plants recognize herbivore-produced elicitors and release a blend of volatile compounds (VOCs), which work as chemical cues for parasitoids or predators to locate their hosts. From detection of elicitors to VOC emissions, plants utilize sophisticated systems that resemble the plant–microbe interaction system. Fatty acid–amino acid conjugates (FACs), a class of insect elicitors, resemble compounds synthesized by microbes in nature. Recent evidence suggests that the recognition of insect elicitors by an ancestral microbe-associated defense system may be the origin of tritrophic interactions mediated by FACs. Here we discuss our findings in light of how plants have customized this defense to be effective against insect herbivores, and how some insects have successfully adapted to these defenses. 相似文献

Indirect plant defense against insect herbivores: a review 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Plants respond to herbivore attack by launching 2 types of defenses: direct defense and indirect defense. Direct defense includes all plant traits that increase the resistance of host plants to insect herbivores by affecting the physiology and/or behavior of the attackers. Indirect defense includes all traits that by themselves do not have significant direct impact on the attacking herbivores, but can attract natural enemies of the herbivores and thus reduce plant loss. When plants recognize herbivore‐associated elicitors, they produce and release a blend of volatiles that can attract predators, parasites, and other natural enemies. Known herbivore‐associated elicitors include fatty acid–amino acid conjugates, sulfur‐containing fatty acids, fragments of cell walls, peptides, esters, and enzymes. Identified plant volatiles include terpenes, nitrogenous compounds, and indoles. In addition, constitive traits including extrafloral nectars, food bodies, and domatia can be further induced to higher levels and attract natural enemies as well as provide food and shelter to carnivores. A better understanding of indirect plant defense at global and componential levels via advanced high throughput technologies may lead to utilization of indirect defense in suppression of herbivore damage to plants. 相似文献

Phospholipase A (PLA) activity, as measured by the accumulation of (14)C-lysophosphatidylcholine in leaves of tomato plants, increased rapidly and systemically in response to wounding. The increase in PLA activity in the systemic unwounded leaves was biphasic in wild-type tomato plants, peaking at 15 min and again at 60 min, but the second peak of activity was absent in transgenic prosystemin antisense plants. Supplying young excised tomato plants with the polypeptide hormone systemin also caused (14)C-lysophosphatidylcholine to increase to levels similar to those induced by wounding, but the increase in activity persisted for >2 hr. Antagonists of systemin blocked both the release of (14)C-lysophosphatidylcholine and the accumulation of defense proteins in response to systemin. (14)C-lysophosphatidylcholine levels did not increase in response to jasmonic acid. Chemical acylation of the lysophosphatidylcholine produced by wounding, systemin, and oligosaccharide elicitors followed by enzymatic hydrolysis with lipases of known specificities demostrated that the lysophosphatidylcholine is generated by a PLA with specificity for the sn-2 position. 相似文献
