Verticillium dahliae is a wide-host-range fungal pathogen that causes soil-borne diseases in hundreds of dicotyledonous hosts. In search V. Vd991 cell death-inducing proteins, we identified pectate lyase (VdPEL1) exhibited pectin hydrolytic activity, which could induce strong death several plants. Purified VdPEL1 triggered defense responses and conferred resistance to Botrytis cinerea tobacco cotton Our results demonstrated the mutant VdPEL1rec lacking enzymatic activity lacked functions...
Botrytis cinerea is one of the most notorious pathogenic species that causes serious plant diseases and substantial losses in agriculture throughout world. We identified BcXyl1 from B. exhibited xylanase activity. Expression gene was strongly induced infecting N. benthamiana tomato plants, deletion strains severely compromised virulence cinerea. strong cell death several activity independent its Purified triggered typically PTI responses conferred resistance to TMV tobacco plants. A 26-amino...
The Arabidopsis thaliana Receptor-Like Protein RLP30 contributes to immunity against the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Here we identify RLP30-ligand as a small cysteine-rich protein (SCP) that occurs in many fungi and oomycetes is also recognized by Nicotiana benthamiana RLP RE02. However, RE02 share little sequence similarity respond different parts of native/folded protein. Moreover, some Brassicaceae other than linear SCP peptide instead folded protein, suggesting an eminent...
Conventional plant resistance breeding has primarily focused on intracellular immune receptors, while cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) have been underexplored due to their comparatively modest contributions resistance. However, PRRs offer significant untapped potential for crop improvement. In this study, we demonstrate that the Arabidopsis receptor-like protein RLP23, which recognizes molecular patterns from three distinct microbial kingdoms, confers broad-spectrum when...
Abstract The Arabidopsis thaliana receptor-like protein RLP30 contributes to immunity against the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum . Here we identified RLP30-ligand as a small cysteine-rich (SCP) that occurs in many fungi and oomycetes is also recognized by Nicotiana benthamiana RLP RE02. However, RE02 share little sequence similarity respond different parts of native/folded protein. Interestingly, some Brassicaceae other than linear SCP peptide, suggesting an eminent immune target...
