Journal ArticleDOI
Perception of the bacterial PAMP EF-Tu by the receptor EFR restricts Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
Cyril Zipfel,Gernot Kunze,Delphine Chinchilla,Anne Caniard,Jonathan D. G. Jones,Thomas Boller,Georg Felix +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that flagellin and EF-Tu activate a common set of signaling events and defense responses but without clear synergistic effects, and that plant defense responses induced by PAMPs such as EF- Tu reduce transformation by Agrobacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
A flagellin-induced complex of the receptor FLS2 and BAK1 initiates plant defence
Delphine Chinchilla,Cyril Zipfel,Cyril Zipfel,Silke Robatzek,Birgit Kemmerling,Thorsten Nürnberger,Jonathan D. G. Jones,Georg Felix,Georg Felix,Thomas Boller +9 more
TL;DR: BAK1 is shown to have a functional role in PRR-dependent signalling, which initiates innate immunity, and evidence is provided that FLS2 and BAK1 form a complex in vivo, in a specific ligand-dependent manner, within the first minutes of stimulation with flagellin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial disease resistance in Arabidopsis through flagellin perception.
Cyril Zipfel,Silke Robatzek,Silke Robatzek,Lionel Navarro,Edward J. Oakeley,Jonathan D. G. Jones,Georg Felix,Georg Felix,Thomas Boller,Thomas Boller +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that treatment of plants with flg22, a peptide representing the elicitor-active epitope of flagellin, induces the expression of numerous defence-related genes and triggers resistance to pathogenic bacteria in wild-type plants, but not in plants carrying mutations in the flageLLin receptor gene FLS2.
Journal ArticleDOI
The N Terminus of Bacterial Elongation Factor Tu Elicits Innate Immunity in Arabidopsis Plants
TL;DR: It is shown that elongation factor Tu, the most abundant bacterial protein, acts as a PAMP in Arabidopsis thaliana and other Brassicaceae, and an N-acetylated peptide comprising the first 18 amino acids, termed elf18, is fully active as inducer of defense responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of pattern recognition receptor signalling in plants.
Daniel Couto,Cyril Zipfel +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanisms that fine-tune immune signalling to maintain immune homeostasis are described and how the innate ability of plant cells to monitor the integrity of key immune components can lead to autoimmune phenotypes following genetic or pathogen-induced perturbations of these components are discussed.
