Plant immunity unified

Nature Plants, 2021
Plant defence is based on a two-tiered immune system comprising pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Effective defence against host-adapted microbial pathogens relies on mutual potentiation of immunity by both PTI and ETI components.

Channeling plant immunity

Cell, 2021
Plant intracellular NLR proteins detect pathogen effectors and then form multimeric protein complexes ("resistosomes") that activate immune responses and cell death through unknown mechanisms. In this issue of Cell, Bi et al. show that the ZAR1 resistosome exhibits cation channel activity, enabling calcium influx that activates defense mechanisms and ...

Plants and immunity

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1979
Abstract The nature and development of recognition systems in plants is reviewed and compared with the parallel systems in animals. Higher plants have not retained the phagocytic capacity characteristic of certain lower plants and of animal cells. They have, however, developed the capacity to discriminate self from non-self in their mating systems ...

Innate immunity in plants

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2001
Studies of receptors and signal-transduction components that play a role in plant disease resistance have revealed remarkable similarities with innate immunity pathways in insects and mammals. In plants, specific receptors encoded by disease-resistance genes interact with products of microbial effector genes to activate defence responses.

Ubiquitination in plant immunity

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2010
Plant immune responses require the coordination of a myriad of processes that are triggered upon perception of invading pathogens. Ubiquitin, the ubiquitination system (UBS) and the 26S proteasome are key for the regulation of processes such as the oxidative burst, hormone signaling, gene induction, and programmed cell death.

Autophagy in Plant Immunity

2019
The highly conserved catabolic process of autophagy delivers unwanted proteins or damaged organelles to vacuoles for degradation and recycling. This is essential for the regulation of cellular homeostasis, stress adaptation, and programmed cell death in eukaryotes.

Evolutionary footprint of plant immunity

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2022
There are pieces of evidence from genomic footprints and fossil records indicating that plants have co-evolved with microbes after terrestrialization for more than 407 million years. Therefore, to truly comprehend plant evolution, we need to understand the co-evolutionary process and history between plants and microbes.

Plant Immunity to Necrotrophs

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2012
Plants inhabit environments crowded with infectious microbes that pose constant threats to their survival. Necrotrophic pathogens are notorious for their aggressive and wide-ranging virulence strategies that promote host cell death and acquire nutrients for growth and reproduction from dead cells.

Proteolysis in plant immunity

The Plant Cell
Abstract Compared with transcription and translation, protein degradation machineries can act faster and be targeted to different subcellular compartments, enabling immediate regulation of signaling events. It is therefore not surprising that proteolysis has been used extensively to control homeostasis of key regulators in different ...

Flagellin Signalling in Plant Immunity

2007
Like all higher living organisms, plants are constantly exposed to microbes that either grow epiphytically on the organ surface, establish beneficial interactions in specific tissues, or infect host tissues as pathogens and cause disease. In order to infect, pathogens must attach to the plant surface and break physical barriers to enter the tissue ...
