Surface lipids and plant defenses

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2009
The major function of the plant epidermis is to form the cuticle, a functional permeability barrier of the cell wall which prevents excessive water loss and the entry of harmful substances and pathogens into the host. This type of cell wall modification is mainly composed of a polyester matrix, cutin, and soluble waxes embedded in the matrix and ...

Belowground Herbivory and Plant Defenses

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2009
Belowground-feeding herbivores may be very destructive to plants. Roots are known to produce various defense compounds to protect themselves against these herbivores, both with direct and indirect—inducible—defense compounds. Recent literature reviews reveal no overall pattern for root-shoot defense allocation.

Plant peptides in defense and signaling

Peptides, 2014
This review focuses on plant peptides involved in defense against pathogen infection and those involved in the regulation of growth and development. Defense peptides, defensins, cyclotides and anti-microbial peptides are compared and contrasted. Signaling peptides are classified according to their major sites of activity. Finally, a network approach to

Plant immunity and plant defense

This chapter summarizes the current knowledge on how plants defend against pathogen invasion and proliferation by structural and biochemical defense measures. To this end, it recapitulates the genetic basis of plant immunity and susceptibility to diseases.

Macroevolution of plant defense strategies

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2007
Theories of plant defense expression are typically based on the concepts of tradeoffs among traits and of phylogenetic conservatism within clades. Here, I review recent developments in phylogenetic approaches to understanding the evolution of plant defense strategies and plant-herbivore coevolutionary interactions.

Induced Chemical Defense in Plants

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 1998
Surprising parallels exist between the chemical defense mechanisms of plants and animals. The biosynthesis of defensive substances in plants can be induced by microbial or herbivoral attack. Recent results demonstrate that the chemical defense of plants is mediated by lipid-based signaling systems.

Alternative Splicing in Plant Defense

2008
Plant resistance proteins directly or indirectly perceive the presence of pathogen virulence factors and trigger an effective form of plant immunity that often includes programmed host cell death. Because the activation of resistance proteins has the potential to be detrimental to the plant, this process is tightly regulated on multiple levels. Several
