A Receptor on Soybean Membranes for a Fungal Elicitor of Phytoalexin Accumulation [PDF]
Soybean membrane preparations specifically bound [(14)C]mycolaminaran, a branched beta-1,3-glucan produced by Phytophthora sp. which elicits production of the phytoalexin glyceollin in soybean tissues. A Scatchard plot of the binding data disclosed the presence of a single affinity class of binding sites with a K(d) value of 11.5 micromolar for the ...

The hepta-β-glucoside elicitor-binding proteins from legumes represent a putative receptor family [PDF]
The ability of legumes to recognize and respond to β-glucan elicitors by synthesizing phytoalexins is consistent with the existence of a membrane-bound β-glucan-binding site.

A Fungal Elicitor of the Resistance Response in Wheat
Abstract An elicitor of the lignification response in wheat leaves was isolated from the germ-tube walls of wheat stem rust. The active compound causes metabolic changes typically correlated with the resistance response, i.e. the formation of lignin or lignin-like polymers in affected epidermal and mesophyll cells and the increased ...

Novel cellulose-binding-domain protein in Phytophthora is cell wall localized. [PDF]
Cellulose binding domains (CBD) in the carbohydrate binding module family 1 (CBM1) are structurally conserved regions generally linked to catalytic regions of cellulolytic enzymes.

Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae produces a 34-kDa glycoprotein elicitor (CBEL) that is localized in the cell wall. A cDNA encoding the protein moiety of this elicitor was cloned and characterized.

Crh proteins catalyze crosslinking of chitin and glucan polymers in fungal cell walls. Here, Bi et al. show that a Crh protein from the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea acts as a cytoplasmic effector and elicitor of plant defense, and plants ...

The role of octadecanoids and functional mimics in soybean defense responses [PDF]
Oxylipins of the jasmonate pathway and synthetic functional analogs have been analyzed for their elicitor like activities in an assay based on the induced accumulation of glyceollins, the phytoalexins of soybean (Glycine max L.), in cell suspension ...

Phosphorylation is required for the pathogen defense function of the Arabidopsis PEN3 ABC transporter. [PDF]
The Arabidopsis PEN3 ABC transporter accumulates at sites of pathogen detection, where it is involved in defense against a number of pathogens. Perception of PAMPs by pattern recognition receptors initiates recruitment of PEN3 and also leads to PEN3 ...

The Enzymatic Activity of Fungal Xylanase Is Not Necessary for Its Elicitor Activity [PDF]
AbstractFungal xylanases fromTrichoderma spp. are potent elicitors of defense responses in various plants. To determine whether enzymatic activity is necessary for elicitor activity, we used site-directed mutagenesis to reduce the catalytic activity of xylanase II from Trichoderma reesei.
