Plant genes involved in arbuscular mycorrhiza formation and functioning
2002
Knowledge about that part of the plant genome involved in the establishment and functioning of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is important for the basic understanding of this symbiosis. It is also essential for a ‘genes to the field’ approach based on the identification and exploitation of genes that could be central to developing sustainable plant production systems in the future.
Plant defense responses induced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
2002
Plants in their environment daily face many organisms such as fungi, bacteria, mycoplasms, viruses, nematodes, etc. Many of them are potential pathogens; in fact thousands of microorganisms are known to cause plant diseases. Despite this large number of deleterious microorganisms, most of the plants are resistant to their attack since they have developed effective mechanisms to protect themselves.
Colonization of flax roots and early physiological responses of flax cells inoculated with pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum
2003
ABSTRACT Fusarium oxysporum includes nonpathogenic strains and pathogenic strains that can induce necrosis or tracheomycosis in plants. The objective of this study was to compare the abilities of a pathogenic strain (Foln3) and a nonpathogenic strain (Fo47) to colonize flax roots and to induce early physiological responses in flax cell culture suspensions. Both strains colonized the outer cortex of the root; however, plant defense reactions, i.e., the presence of wall appositions, osmiophilic material, and collapsed cells, were less frequent and less intense in a root colonized by Foln3 than by Fo47. Early physiological responses were measured in flax cell suspensions confronted with germin…
Involvement of plasma membrane proteins in plant defense responses. Analysis of the cryptogein signal transduction in tobacco
1999
International audience; Cryptogein, a 98 amino acid protein secreted by the fungus Phytophthora cryptogea, induces a hypersensitive response and systemic acquired resistance in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum var Xanthi). The mode of action of cryptogein has been studied using tobacco cell suspensions. The recognition of this elicitor by a plasma membrane receptor leads to a cascade of events including protein phosphorylation, calcium influx, potassium and chloride effluxes, plasma membrane depolarization, activation of a NADPH oxidase responsible for active oxygen species (AOS) production and cytosol acidification, activation of the pentose phosphate pathway, and activation of two mitoge…
Preferential induction of 20S proteasome subunits during elicitation of plant defense reactions: towards the characterization of "plant defense prote…
2003
Plants have evolved efficient mechanisms to resist pathogens. The earliest defense response is the hypersensitive response (HR) considered as the main step leading to plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR) that protects the whole plant against a large spectrum of pathogens. We showed previously that elicitation of defense reactions in tobacco cells by cryptogein, a proteinaceous elicitor of plant defense reactions, leads to a rapid and differential accumulation of transcripts corresponding to genes encoding defense-induced (din) subunits of 20S proteasome: beta1din, alpha3din and alpha6din.Here, expression of these three subunits was investigated by Northern blotting and by Western blotti…
Specific adduction of plant lipid transfer protein by an allene oxide generated by 9-lipoxygenase and allene oxide synthase
2006
International audience; Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are ubiquitous plant lipid-binding proteins that have been associated with multiple developmental and stress responses. Although LTPs typically bind fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives in a non-covalent way, studies on the LTPs of barley seeds have identified an abundantly occurring covalently modified form, LTP1b, the lipid ligand of which has resisted clarification. In the present study, this adduct was identified as the {alpha}-ketol 9-hydroxy-10-oxo-12(Z)-octadecenoic acid. Further studies on the formation of LTP1b demonstrated that the ligand was introduced by nucleophilic attack of the free carboxylate group of the Asp-7 residu…
