Exam 1 Flashcards
Effectors
Pathogen
Something that makes the infection effective
R gene plant or pathogen
Plant
Plants 2 lines of defense
PAMP recognition
R gene mediated
3 common effectors
Toxins
Enzymes
Plant growth regulators
Susceptible vs resistant
Get disease pathogen can live
Pathogen stops and can’t carry out its lifecycle
Plant or pathogen
Susceptible vs resistant
Plant
Keyword to resistance
Recognition
What mediates recognition
PAMPS
PAMPS
Pathogen associates molecular patterns
Something in the microbe that the plant can recognize
Example of PAMPS
Peptidoglycan
Chitin
Basal defense
PAMP triggered immunity
What is a good way to fend off biotrophs not necrotrophs?
Hypersensitive response
Ways plants respond to pathogens (6)
Pathogenesis resistance proteins Phytoalexins ROS Synthesis of lignin, callose, suberin Hypersensitive response Systemic acquired response
Pathogenesis resistance proteins
Made by the plant
Chitinase
Other hydrolytic enzymes
Phytoalexins
Antimicrobial compounds made by plants
ROS
Reactive oxygen species that oxidize the pathogen
Hydrogen peroxide
Superoxide
Signaling defense
What does ROS do?
Increase cross links in cell wall
Hypersensitive response
Apoptosis
Systemic acquired resistance
Response spreads to whole plant and the plant steps up its ability to to respond
Avirulent pathogrn
Constitutive defenses by plants
Always on Trichomes Wax Bark Alkaloids Terpenoids Flavonoids
Induced defenses. How plants defend themselves from insects
Has to be recognition
Elicitor
Have to be received by a receptor
Receptor starts signal transduction
2 examples of elicitors
Insect saliva
Broken cell wall
What things start signal transduction
Calcium
cAMP
kinases
Sydtemin
Small protein produced at the sight of injury
Can systemin trigger the octadecanoid pathway?
Yes
What does the octadecanoid pathway do?
Takes a membrane lipid and makes jasmonic acid
Where is jasmonic acid usually transported?
In the phloem
Volatile
Can move through the air
Can jasmonic acid be volatile?
Yes
3 ways jasmonic acid can cause changes in gene expression
Increase secondary metab synthesis
Increase in proteins that inhibit digestion
Name 2 proteins that inhibit digestion
Protease
Amylase
Lectins
