Frequently Asked Questions (16)
Q2. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Plant immunity: towards an integrated view of plant–pathogen interactions" ?
The recent convergence of molecular studies of plant immunity and pathogen infection strategies is revealing an integrated picture of the plant-pathogen interaction from the perspective of both organisms this paper.
Q3. What is the role of the nb domain in the activation of apopt?
Animal nb-containing proteins, such as nlRs and the apoptotic factors APAF1 and cED4, self-oligomerize through their centrally located nb domain after activation, thereby forming an active signalling platform83.
Q4. What is the role of nb-lRR genes in preventing disease in crop plants?
Many nucleotide‑binding (NB)‑leucine‑rich repeat (LRR) genes have now been cloned, and this can facilitate their application in agriculture either through conventional breeding approaches, in which the cloned sequences are used as molecular markers, or through transgenic means.
Q5. What is the way to use the diversity of plant species to access useful pathogen receptors?
One promising avenue is to exploit the diversity of plant species to access useful pathogen receptors from sexually incompatible host plants, which will expand the resource of resistance genes that can be transferred into agricultural species.
Q6. What is the implication of the lRR domain in the recognition of effectors?
numerous genetic studies have shown that the lRR domain often controls recognition specificity77–80, with the implication that the lRR mediates effector interaction in these systems.
Q7. What is the impact of next-generation sequencing on the study of plant pathogens?
The immediate technological impact of next-generation sequencing will open up the study of important non-model host–pathogen systems, such as wheat rusts and the black sigatoka disease of banana.
Q8. How many effector proteins are in the saliva of a fungal pathogen?
The stylet also delivers salivary secretions into host cells; proteomic analysis of saliva from one such species, Meloidogyne incognita, identified 486 potential effector proteins54.
Q9. What is the reason why many pathogen effectors are able to suppress PTI?
This may explain why many pathogen effectors are able to suppress PTI by interacting with different targets; because the signal itself is relatively weak, blocking just one component is sufficient to substantially perturb the response.
Q10. What is the role of a bacterial effector in plant defense?
41. Kay, S., Hahn, S., Marois, E., Hause, G. & Bonas, U. A bacterial effector acts as a plant transcription factor and Induces a cell size regulator.
Q11. what is the molecule that induces ethylene biosynthesis in Arabidopsis?
95. Liu, Y. & Zhang, S. Phosphorylation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase by MPK6, a stress-responsive mitogen-activated protein kinase, induces ethylene biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.
Q12. What is the role of the accessory protein in the decoy model?
In the decoy model, the accessory protein specializes in perception of the effector by the nb-lRR protein but has no other function.
Q13. What is the role of RIN4 in the resistance of plant pathogens?
D., Holt, B. F., Wiig, A. & Dangl, J. L. RIN4 interacts with Pseudomonas syringae type III effector molecules and is required for RPM1-mediated resistance in Arabidopsis.
Q14. what is the role of avrrpt2 in plant immunity?
D., Belkhadir, Y., Alonso, J. M., Ecker, J. R. & Dangl, J. Arabidopsis RIN4 is a target of the type III virulence effector AvrRpt2 and modulates RPS2mediated resistance.
Q15. What is the role of the Arabidopsis immune receptor in triggering EDS1?
L., Zhang, Y., Jones, J. D. & Parker, J. E. Nuclear accumulation of the Arabidopsis immune receptor RPS4 is necessary for triggering EDS1dependent defense.
Q16. What is the role of nDR1 in the signalling of cc-n?
the integral plasma membrane protein nOn-RAcE-SPEcIFIc DISEASE RESISTAncE 1 (nDR1) is required for signalling from some cc-nb-lRRs (which are allmembrane associated), but again the connecting steps are unknown100.
