Host-selective toxins as agents of cell death in plant-fungus interactions.
Summary Host-selective toxins are known determinants of compatibility in plant-fungus interactions and provide a powerful model for understanding the specificity of these associations. The identification of genes required for toxin biosynthesis has shown that the genes are unique to the toxin producing species and are clustered in complex loci. These loci may have been acquired by horizontal ge...
متن کاملHost-selective toxins: agents of compatibility.
Host-selective toxins (HSTs) are, with one exception, low molecular weight compounds with diverse structures that act as positive agents of virulence or pathogenicity. Approximately 20 HSTs have been documented. In general, HSTs are determinants of host range or specificity in that plant species, varieties, or genotypes sensitive to an HST are those that are susceptible to the producing pathoge...
متن کاملProgrammed Cell Death in Plant-pathogen Interactions.
Plants cope with pathogen attacks by using mechanisms of resistance that rely both on preformed protective defenses and on inducible defenses. The latter are the most well studied, and progress is being made in determining which induced responses are responsible for limiting pathogen growth. Many plant-pathogen interactions are accompanied by plant cell death. Recent evidence suggests that this...

متن کاملSecondary metabolites in fungus-plant interactions
Fungi and plants are rich sources of thousands of secondary metabolites. The genetically coded possibilities for secondary metabolite production, the stimuli of the production, and the special phytotoxins basically determine the microscopic fungi-host plant interactions and the pathogenic lifestyle of fungi. The review introduces plant secondary metabolites usually with antifungal effect as wel...
