Plant immune system incompatibility and the distribution of enemies in natural hybrid zones.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Natural plant hybrid zones have been described as 'sinks' and 'centers of biodiversity' for herbivores and fungal pathogens. Jasmonic acid is known to be a critical signaling molecule for defense against these enemies. Does inhibition of jasmonic acid perhaps contribute to the susceptibility of hybrid plants to attack by herbivores? Here, we discuss recent evidence that plant immune system incompatibilities are likely to downregulate jasmonic acid (JA)-dependent responses through their effect on expression of the salicylic acid (SA)-dependent pathway. Because these hybrid immune incompatibilities are a function of environmental temperatures, they suggest a dependency between attack rates in hybrid zones and environmental conditions. Hybrid zones in colder environments, for example at higher elevations or latitudes, are more likely to exhibit elevated SA, suppressed jasmonic acid-dependent defenses, and lower resistance to herbivores and other necrotrophic pathogens.

The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), is an important insect pest of corn, Zea mays L., crop in Moghan region. In field experiments, the density of eggs and larvae of O.nubilalis and percentage of eggs and larvae parasitisms were studied on four corn hybrids NS704 (commercial cultivar), NS770, NS640 and MV524 (cultivars with high yield). Furthermore, i...

متن کاملA Review of The Role of The Microbiome on Immune Responses and Its Association With Cystic Fibrosis
In recent years, the microbiome has been recognized as a key regulator of immune responses. Evidence suggests that changes in the microbiome can lead to chronic disease and even exacerbation of the disease. Impairment of innate immunity resulting from microbial incompatibility may worsen host susceptibility to infection and exacerbate chronic lung diseases. Specific microbes play a key role in ...
متن کاملVegetation characteristics of four ecological zones of Iran
Environmental (topography, climate) features have an important influence on plant diversity and richness of Iran. Topography is from –28m which is close to Caspian Sea to 5678m which is located on the Alborz Mountain. Two mountains (Alborz and Zagrosss) prevent moist air moving to the centre of Iran. On the basis of environmental factors, four ecological zones with specific plant richness from ...
