Oxylipins Other Than Jasmonic Acid Are Xylem-Resident Signals Regulating Systemic Resistance Induced by Trichoderma virens in Maize.
TL;DR: A model that differential regulation of 12-OPDA and JA in response to T. virens colonization results in ISR induction is proposed, which shows that a maize 13-lipoxygenase mutant, lox10, colonized by the wild-type T. Virens (TvWT) lacked ISR response against Colletotrichum graminicola but instead displayed induced systemic susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trichoderma virens colonization of maize roots triggers rapid accumulation of 12-oxophytodienoate and two ᵧ-ketols in leaves as priming agents of induced systemic resistance.
TL;DR: Support of the notion that 12-OPDA serves as a priming agent for ISR in addition to being a xylem-mobile signal, leaf pretreatment with this JA precursor resulted in increased resistance to Colletotrichum graminicola.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Transcriptome Response of Trichoderma virens to Colonization of Maize Roots
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the genes involved with the host communication and colonization process through transcriptomic profiling of the wild-type fungus and selected deletion mutants as they colonized maize roots.
