Plant cell surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular immune cooperate to provide immunity microbial infection. Both receptor families have coevolved at an accelerated rate, but the evolution diversification of PRRs is poorly understood. We isolated potato Pep-13 unit (PERU) that senses Pep-13, a conserved immunogenic peptide from plant pathogenic

Oomycetes form a phylogenetically distinct group of eukaryotic microorganisms that include some the most notorious pathogens plants and animals. Through deployment remarkably diverse array effector proteins, oomycete succeed to overcome host defences cause infection. Effectors can operate extracellularly or enter living cells where they target subcellular compartments. Genome sequence information indicates oomycetes express several hundred host-translocating effectors potentially targeting...

Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) in plants is mediated by cell surface-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) upon perception of microbe-associated molecular (MAMPs). MAMPs are conserved molecules across microbe species, or even kingdoms, and PRRs can confer broad-spectrum disease resistance. Pep-13/25 well-characterized Phytophthora which renowned devastating oomycete pathogens potato other plants, for genetic resistance highly wanted. derived from a 42 kDa transglutaminase GP42,...

Abstract Plants employ pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to sense pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or apoplastic effectors at the plant cell surface, as well nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich-repeat-containing (NLRs) inside cell. Breeding for potato resistance P. infestans has focused on use of NLRs, however, these genes are typically quickly overcome since matching avirulence evolve exceptionally quickly. Here, we stacked two PRRs, PERU and RLP23 , that recognize...
