Plant disease interactions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Types of plant disease | Fruit rot Stalk rot Leaf blight Wilt |
| Compatible interaction | plant susceptible, pathogen virulent |
| Incompatible interaction | plant resistant, pathogen avirulent |
| Zig-zag model | PTI is also known as ‘basal resistance’ ETS is also known as ‘race-specific susceptibility’ ETI is also known as ‘race-specific resistance’ PTI: PAMP-Triggered Immunity ETS: Effector Triggered Susceptibility ETI: Effector Triggered Immunity |
| PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) | Pathogen associated molecular patterns: - conserved pathogen molecules ie. bacterial flagellin PTI is initiated when PAMPs are recognized by transmembrane receptors called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) ie. FLS2 - binds flagellin |
| FLS2 flagellin recognition | FLS2 (flagellin sensing 2) is a transmembrane receptor kinase that binds to a 22 amino acid peptide from flagellin fls2 mutants exhibit enhanced susceptibility to bacterial pathogens |
| ETS | Bacterial Hrp proteins form a Type III secretion system (TTSS) that delivers effector proteins into plant cells Several Hrp proteins form a pilus through which effectors are translocated |
| Bacterial effectors have virulence functions | avrRPM1 from Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola (Psm): Assayed on resistant (Col-O) and susceptible (Nd-O, Mt-0, Fe-1) Arabidopsis accessions |
| ETS: Function of bacterial Avrs/Type III effector proteins in plant cells | AvrPtoB causes degradation of FLS2: Suggests that suppression of FLS2 is the virulence function of AvrPtoB |
| Receptor-ligand model for ETI | Avrs are effectors plants recognise |
| ETI. Fungal R-Avr interaction: Cf-2 guards effector target Rcr3 | Cf-2 mediated resistance requires the cysteine protease Rcr3 Avr2 is a cysteine protease inhibitor Mutations in in Rcr3 abolish Cf-2-dependent recognition of Avr2 |
| ETI: R-Avr interaction | initiates signalling, including synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that leads to programmed cell death |
