Suppression of Chitin-Triggered Immunity by a New Fungal Chitin-Binding Effector Resulting from Alternative Splicing of a Chitin Deacetylase Gene [PDF]
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2022 Phytopathogenic fungi have evolved mechanisms to manipulate plant defences, such as chitin-triggered immunity, a plant defensive response based on the recognition of chitin oligomers by plant-specific receptors.

Suppression of Chitin-Triggered Immunity by Plant Fungal Pathogens: A Case Study of the Cucurbit Powdery Mildew Fungus Podosphaera xanthii [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Fungal pathogens are significant plant-destroying microorganisms that present an increasing threat to the world’s crop production. Chitin is a crucial component of fungal cell walls and a conserved MAMP (microbe-associated molecular pattern) that can be ...

Plasmodiophora brassicae CBM18 Proteins Bind Chitin and Suppress Chitin-Triggered Immunity
PhytoFrontiers, 2022 Plants have a sophisticated and multilayered immune system. However, plant pathogens, helped by effector proteins, have found several strategies to evade plant immunity.

Multiple Chitin- or Avirulent Strain-Triggered Immunity Induces Microbiome Reassembly in Rice
MicroorganismsMagnaporthe oryzae is one of the most important fungal pathogens of rice. Chitin and avirulent strains can induce two layers of immunity response, pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI),

Chitin-Binding Protein of Verticillium nonalfalfae Disguises Fungus from Plant Chitinases and Suppresses Chitin-Triggered Host Immunity [PDF]
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2019 During fungal infections, plant cells secrete chitinases, which digest chitin in the fungal cell walls. The recognition of released chitin oligomers via lysin motif (LysM)-containing immune host receptors results in the activation of defense signaling ...

Fungal effector Ecp6 outcompetes host immune receptor for chitin binding through intrachain LysM dimerization [PDF]
eLife, 2013 While host immune receptors detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns to activate immunity, pathogens attempt to deregulate host immunity through secreted effectors.

CRISPR/Cas9-based knockout of BnaLYK compromises pattern-triggered immunity and resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Brassica napus [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyRapeseed (Brassica napus) is severely threatened by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR). The lack of fully resistant cultivars, combined with the genetic complexity of rapeseed as an allopolyploid species, has ...

Pattern-triggered immunity suppresses programmed cell death triggered by fumonisin b1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Programmed cell death (PCD) is a crucial process for plant innate immunity and development. In plant innate immunity, PCD is believed to prevent the spread of pathogens from the infection site.

Chitin Deacetylase, a Novel Target for the Design of Agricultural Fungicides
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2021 Fungicide resistance is a serious problem for agriculture. This is particularly apparent in the case of powdery mildew fungi. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new agrochemicals.
