Multifaceted defense and counter-defense in co-evolutionary arms race between plants and viruses
ARTICLE HISTORY Received 24 May 2017 Accepted 7 June 2017 ABSTRACT Plants have evolved sophisticated surveillance and defense mechanisms against constant attacks by different types of microbial pathogens including viruses. Nucleotide-based RNA silencing and receptorbased innate immunity constitute the primary plant defense to viral infection. To establish their infections, plant viruses have al...
متن کاملPlants versus pathogens: an evolutionary arms race.
The analysis of plant-pathogen interactions is a rapidly moving research field and one that is very important for productive agricultural systems. The focus of this review is on the evolution of plant defence responses and the coevolution of their pathogens, primarily from a molecular-genetic perspective. It explores the evolution of the major types of plant defence responses including pathogen...
متن کاملSnapshot of insect-fungus arms race.
The general populace associates the arms race with nations preparing for or attempting to avoid conflicts by developing and divulging their military superiority. Unfortunately, it is not just nations that engage in excessive preparation: so do cities. For example, the City of Davis, California, population 66,000 residents and 40,000 students (University of California, Davis) acquired a Mine Res...
متن کاملMechanisms of the evolutionary arms race between Vibrio cholerae and Vibriophage clinical isolates.
This review highlights recent findings on the evolutionary arms race between the causative agent of cholera Vibrio cholerae and virulent bacteriophages (phages) ICP1, ICP2, and ICP3 isolated from cholera patient stool samples. We discuss mechanisms of phage resistance such as a unique phage-inhibitory chromosomal island and mutations that affect phage receptor expression. We also discuss the mo...
متن کاملEvolutionary escalation: the bat-moth arms race.
Echolocation in bats and high-frequency hearing in their insect prey make bats and insects an ideal system for studying the sensory ecology and neuroethology of predator-prey interactions. Here, we review the evolutionary history of bats and eared insects, focusing on the insect order Lepidoptera, and consider the evidence for antipredator adaptations and predator counter-adaptations. Ears evol...
