Ethylene signaling mediates a maize defense response to insect herbivory.
The signaling pathways that enable plants to mount defenses against insect herbivores are known to be complex. It was previously demonstrated that the insect-resistant maize (Zea mays L.) genotype Mp708 accumulates a unique defense cysteine proteinase, Mirl-CP, in response to caterpillar feeding. In this study, the role of ethylene in insect defense in Mp708 and an insect-susceptible line Tx601...
متن کاملA role for 9-lipoxygenases in maize defense against insect herbivory
Feeding by Spodoptera exigua (beet armyworm) larvae on Zea mays (maize) induces expression of 9-lipoxygenases to a greater extent than 13-lipoxygenases. Whereas 13-lipoxygenases have an established role in the synthesis of jasmonates that serve as defense signaling molecules in many plant species, relatively little is known about the role of 9-lipoxygenases in herbivore defense. Phylogenetic an...
متن کاملEthylene response factors in jasmonate signaling and defense response.
Plants are continually exposed to potential pathogens and herbivores and have evolved defenses to counter such opportunistic invasions, including both physical (i.e. waxy cuticles, cell walls) and biochemical (i.e. defense compounds) barriers (for review, see Grennan, 2006). A key component to mounting an effective response, which may involve a change in gene expression, is an efficient signali...
متن کاملPathogen-triggered ethylene signaling mediates systemic-induced susceptibility to herbivory in Arabidopsis.
Multicellular eukaryotic organisms are attacked by numerous parasites from diverse phyla, often simultaneously or sequentially. An outstanding question in these interactions is how hosts integrate signals induced by the attack of different parasites. We used a model system comprised of the plant host Arabidopsis thaliana, the hemibiotrophic bacterial phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae, and herb...
متن کاملTomato protein kinase 1b mediates signaling of plant responses to necrotrophic fungi and insect herbivory.
The tomato protein kinase 1 (TPK1b) gene encodes a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase localized to the plasma membrane. Pathogen infection, mechanical wounding, and oxidative stress induce expression of TPK1b, and reducing TPK1b gene expression through RNA interference (RNAi) increases tomato susceptibility to the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea and to feeding by larvae of tobacco hornworm (...
