- 3. •Plants have a general response to infection anti-microbial molecules (secondary metabolites, phytoalexins) • Plants respond to specific infections through the Hypersensitive Response (PCD) rapid accumulation of reactive oxygen species (directly kill pathogen) •Induction of defense genes (pathogenesis-related proteins) How do plants defend against bacteria that enter the cell?
- 4. Plant Defense Response Hypersensitive response Production of reactive oxygen species Cell wall fortification Production of antimicrobial metabolites (phytoalexins) Defense signal transduction Synthesis of enzymes harmful to pathogen (eg. chitinases, glucanases)
- 5. Plant Defense Response 3 aspects of response: 1. Hypersensitive 2. Local 3. Systemic Compatible interaction disease Incompatible interaction resistance
- 6. Elicitors of defense responses Any substance that has the capability of activating defense responses in plants Include components of the cell surface as well as excreted metabolites Elicitors General Race specific a) Oligosaccharide elicitors a)avr gene products b) Protein/peptide elicitors
- 7. Plant disease resistance genes Encode proteins that recognize Avr-gene- dependent ligands Activate signaling cascade(s) that coordinate the initial plant defense responses to impair pathogen ingress Capacity for rapid evolution of specificity Common feature of resistance proteins is a leucine- rich repeat
- 8. Classes of resistance proteins
- 9. Gene-for-gene resistance For resistance to occur, complementary pairs of dominant genes, one in the host and the other in the pathogen, are required (incompatibility) A loss or alteration to either the plant resistance (R) gene or the pathogen avirulence (Avr) gene leads to disease (compatibility)
- 10. Deviations from gene-for-gene concept One R gene may confer specificity to more than one ligand - RPM1 in Arabidopsis confers resistance against P.syringae expressing either avrRpm1 and avrB More than one R gene may exist for a given Avr gene - Pto and Prf genes encode biochemically distinct components of the same pathway - Two genes at the Cf-2 locus furnish identical functions (Bent, 1996)
- 11. Guard hypothesis Key points a) An effector acting as a virulence factor has a target(s) in the host b) By manipulating or altering this target(s) the effector contributes to pathogen success in susceptible host genotypes c) Effector perturbation of a host target generates a “pathogen induced modified self” molecular pattern, which activates the corresponding NB-LRR protein, leading to ETI (Jones et al.,2006)

- 17. Purpose of cell death Cells that are produced in excess Cell that have no function Cells that are produced in excess Cell that develop improperly Cell that have finished their function Cells that are harmful
- 18. Hypersensitive response Rapid, localized plant cell death upon contact with avirulent pathogens. HR is considered to be a key component of multifaceted plant defense responses to restrict attempted infection by avirulent pathogens Rapid - within 24 h Not always needed for resistance HR also contributes to the establishmentof the long-lasting systemic acquired resistance against subsequentattack by a broad range of normally virulent pathogens
- 19. HR Includes: oxidative bust (production of reactive oxygen species) Disruption of cell membranes opening of ion channels Cross linking of phenolics with cell wall component Production of anti-microbial phytoalexins and PR protein apoptosis (programmed cell death)
- 20. •Bacteria like Pseudomonas syringae inject effector proteins (bacterial avirulence and virulence proteins) into plant cells using the Type-III secretion system. •Plants that are resistant to the bacteria have resistance proteins that recognize the effector proteins and cause the infected cell to commit suicide (apoptosis/PCD/Hypersensitive Response) •prevents the bacteria from infecting the rest of the plant by directly killing them and depleting nutrients The Hypersensitive ResponseThe Hypersensitive Response
- 21. • Pectic enzymes - Soft rot Erwinia spp. - Multiple isozymes, some plant regulated • Toxins - e.g., coronatine acts as JA mimic to downregulate plant defense • Extracellular polysaccharides - Important in many diseases, esp. vascular diseases - Postulated roles in protection from plant-derived antimicrobials, osmotic stress, dessication; evading recognition; causing wilt, etc. • Quorum sensing (cell-cell signaling) and global regulation of virulence - Soft rot Erwinia spp. regulation of virulence associated genes, including pectic enzymes - Cell wall degradation products elicit plant defense, so benefit to repressing pectolytic activity until high numbers of bacteria accumulate. • The Type III secretion (Hrp) pathway - Essential for necrogenic Gram negative pathogens Major findings
- 22. • A type III secretion pathway, broadly conserved among gram- negative pathogens of plants and animals • Macromolecular structure,Hrp pilus, acts as conduit for traffic (called needle complex in animal pathogens) • Encoded by clustered hrp genes • Required for hypersensitive reaction and pathogenicity • Expression induced in plant and in defined minimal media • Capable of delivering proteins into host cells • Secretes and delivers “effector proteins” a) virulence factors b) avirulence factors The Hrp pathway

- 31. Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR)Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) SAR is a mechanism of induced defense that confers long-lasting protection against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. Enhance resistance against subsequent attack by a wide array of pathogen. The vasculature provide the excellent channel for transport of systemic signals. SAR takes 24-48 h to start, can last for months Involves gene activation and a transmitted signal. Genes induced: chitinases β 1,3- glucanases other PR proteins
- 32. Complex signalling networks orchestrate different types of plant-inducible defences to prevent microbial growth. Pathogen recognition triggers a number of rapid cellular responses, including ionic changes, and phosphorylation cascades, which precede the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, and salicylic acid (SA) and the transcriptional activation of defence-related genes.
- 33. Interplay between reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, and SA contributes to the establishment of HR. SA also has a key role in establishing local and systemic resistance to many virulent biotrophic pathogens, whereas jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET) are more often associated with resistance to necrotrophic pathogens. Considerable interactions occur within and between these hormone signalling networks, resulting in an overall mutual antagonism between SA and JA/ET signalling
- 34. SAR can also be transmitted to the next generation progeny.
- 35. Defense Proteins Salicylic Acid The plant defense proteins provide the plant resistance to a variety of plant pathogens. Disease organisms and nonpathogenic microbes stimulates the plant above or belowground to produce the hormone salicylic acid. An increase in the hormone salicylic acid causes the plant to produce many types of pant defense proteins. Plant hormones Jasmonate and Ethylene increase throughout the plant and induce resistance to a wide variety of plant pathogens. Jasm onate Ethylene Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) stimulate plants roots, causing production of plant defense hormones ISR Induced Resistance SAR Induced Resistance a) Systemic Acquired Resistance b) Induced Systemic Resistance Types of induced resistance to plant diseases (modified from Vallad and Goodman (2006) by Heather Darby).

Editor's Notes
- #25: Molecular biology studies have characterized several key pathogenicity determinants of Xcc. In addition to motility and attachment to plant, some key elements of Xcc pathogenicity are EPS and Plant cell wall degrading enzymes. The synthesis of these 2 last is regulated by a quorum sensing system via rpf genes. Then the major pathogenicity determinant of Xcc is the TTSS which injects bacterial proteins into the plant cell. This secretion system is induced by metabolic signals in the extra cellular medium and is regulated by 2 master regulatory genes hrpG and hrpX.
