Rôle de la dynamique de la membrane plasmique dans la mise en place des réactions de défense chez le tabac

2008

The binding of cryptogein, a plant defense elicitor secreted by an oomycete, to an unknown receptor triggers well-known biochemical events of early signal transduction at the plasma membrane of tobacco cells. One of these early events is the transient production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) by an NADPH oxidase, NtrbohD. We were thus interested to analyze the dynamic of the plasma membrane during these early stages. We determined that internalization of the endocytotic marker FM4-64 is stimulated a few minutes after addition of cryptogein to tobacco BY-2 cells. This stimulation is specific to the signal transduction pathway elicited by cryptogein since a lipid transfer protein, which bin…
