Journal ArticleDOI
Separate jasmonate-dependent and salicylate-dependent defense-response pathways in Arabidopsis are essential for resistance to distinct microbial pathogens
Bart P. H. J. Thomma,Kristel Eggermont,Iris A. M. A. Penninckx,Brigitte Mauch-Mani,Ralph Vogelsang,Bruno P. A. Cammue,Willem F. Broekaert +6 more
TL;DR: Data point to the existence of at least two separate hormone-dependent defense pathways in Arabidopsis that contribute to resistance against distinct microbial pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concomitant activation of jasmonate and ethylene response pathways is required for induction of a plant defensin gene in Arabidopsis.
Iris A. M. A. Penninckx,Bart P. H. J. Thomma,Antony Buchala,Jean-Pierre Métraux,Willem F. Broekaert +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that both the ethylene and jasmonate signaling pathways need to be triggered concomitantly, and not sequentially, to activate PDF1.2 upon pathogen infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogen-induced systemic activation of a plant defensin gene in Arabidopsis follows a salicylic acid-independent pathway.
Iris A. M. A. Penninckx,Kristel Eggermont,Franky R. G. Terras,Bart P. H. J. Thomma,G.W. de Samblanx,Antony Buchala,Jean-Pierre Métraux,John Michael Manners,Willem F. Broekaert +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that systemic pathogen-induced expression of the plant defensin gene in Arabidopsis is independent of salicylic acid but requires components of the ethylene and jasmonic acid response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Of PAMPs and Effectors: The Blurred PTI-ETI Dichotomy
TL;DR: It is argued that plant resistance is determined by immune receptors that recognize appropriate ligands to activate defense, the amplitude of which is likely determined by the level required for effective immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary: biology and molecular traits of a cosmopolitan pathogen.
TL;DR: This review summarizes current knowledge of mechanisms employed by the fungus to parasitize its host with emphasis on biology, physiology and molecular aspects of pathogenicity.
