Do pathogen effectors play peek-a-boo?
Epigenetics is a burgeoning field of research and many organisms are found to regulate genes in a transient (“above genetics”) way due to (temporarily) decorating DNA or proteins that associate with DNA. This can change transcription of affected genes and since such DNA modifications are reversible, the expression potential over time and generations can therefore be extremely variable. This all...
متن کاملDiverse Functions of Small RNAs in Different Plant–Pathogen Communications
RNA silencing is a conserved mechanism that utilizes small RNAs (sRNAs) to direct the regulation of gene expression at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level. Plants utilizing RNA silencing machinery to defend pathogen infection was first identified in plant-virus interaction and later was observed in distinct plant-pathogen interactions. RNA silencing is not only responsible for sup...
متن کاملPlant Responses to Pathogen Attack: Small RNAs in Focus
Small RNAs (sRNA) are a significant group of gene expression regulators for multiple biological processes in eukaryotes. In plants, many sRNA silencing pathways produce extensive array of sRNAs with specialized roles. The evidence on record advocates for the functions of sRNAs during plant microbe interactions. Host sRNAs are reckoned as mandatory elements of plant defense. sRNAs involved in pl...
متن کاملPlant Pathogen Effectors: Getting Mixed Messages
Plant pathogen effectors have now been shown to mimic plant transcription factors and turn on genes that help the pathogen. Some plants, however, have evolved to use these pathogen-derived transcription factors to turn on defence.
متن کاملGroovy times: filamentous pathogen effectors revealed.
Filamentous microorganisms, such as fungi and oomycetes, secrete an arsenal of effector proteins that modulate plant innate immunity and enable parasitic infection. Deciphering the biochemical activities of effectors to understand how pathogens successfully colonize and reproduce on their host plants became a driving paradigm in the field of fungal and oomycete pathology. Recent findings illust...
