SnapShot: Plant Immune Response Pathways

Recognition of Microbe/Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns Plant innate immunity depends on the timely discrimination of self from nonself, which, as in animal cells, can be accomplished by membrane-anchored pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). These receptors monitor the exterior space for microbe/pathogen-associated molecular patterns or MAMPs (also called PAMPs) by binding to them direct...

Update on Secretory Pathways in Plant Immune Responses Secretory Pathways in Plant Immune Responses

Innate immune receptors in plants detect the presence of microbial pathogens and trigger defense responses to terminate or restrict pathogen growth. The molecular mechanisms of receptor-mediated nonself recognition and subsequent intracellular signaling pathways have received much attention in the past. Less is known about the cellular mechanisms that contribute to the execution of immune respo...
