Terpene down-regulation triggers defense responses in transgenic orange leading to resistance against fungal pathogens.
Terpenoid volatiles are isoprene compounds that are emitted by plants to communicate with the environment. In addition to their function in repelling herbivores and attracting carnivorous predators in green tissues, the presumed primary function of terpenoid volatiles released from mature fruits is the attraction of seed-dispersing animals. Mature oranges (Citrus sinensis) primarily accumulate ...
متن کاملInnate Defense against Fungal Pathogens.
Human fungal infections have been on the rise in recent years and proved increasingly difficult to treat as a result of the lack of diagnostics, effective antifungal therapies, and vaccines. Most pathogenic fungi do not cause disease unless there is a disturbance in immune homeostasis, which can be caused by modern medical interventions, disease-induced immunosuppression, and naturally occurrin...
متن کاملSaponins versus plant fungal pathogens
The production of low-molecular-weight antimicrobial molecules within plants is one component of defense against pathogens. Among them, preformed antimicrobial compounds (phytoanticipins) are the first biochemical barriers against pathogens. Saponins (a group of phytoanticipins) are present constitutively in plants and play important roles in plant defense. A variety of biological roles have be...
متن کاملMicrobial Pathogens Trigger Host DNA Double-Strand Breaks Whose Abundance Is Reduced by Plant Defense Responses
Immune responses and DNA damage repair are two fundamental processes that have been characterized extensively, but the links between them remain largely unknown. We report that multiple bacterial, fungal and oomycete plant pathogen species induce double-strand breaks (DSBs) in host plant DNA. DNA damage detected by histone γ-H2AX abundance or DNA comet assays arose hours before the disease-asso...
متن کاملFungal manipulation of hormone-regulated plant defense
Fungi have adapted to diverse habitats and ecological niches, including the complex plant systems. Success of the pathogenic or symbiotic fungi in colonizing the plant tissue depends on their ability to modulate the host defense signaling [1]. Strategies that impart such abilities in fungi include the use of effector proteins that directly disrupt phytohormone-based defense signaling pathways a...
