Immune responses in plants are mostly dependent upon the innate immune system, as they have neither a full adaptive immune system nor mobile immune cells. While there are similarities between innate immunity in plants and animals it appears that innate immune responses in plants have evolved ...
Role of secondary metabolites in defense mechanisms of plants In all natural habitats, plants are surrounded by an enormous number of potential enemies (biotic) and various kinds of abiotic environmental stress. Nearly all ecosystems contain a wide variety of bacteria, viruses, fungi, nematodes, mi...
Several plants have evolved various mechanisms both morphological and chemical to protect themselves against herbivory. Morphological defence mechanisms: Cactus leaves (Opuntia) are modified into sharp spines (thorns) to deter herbivores from feedi
Plants defense mechanisms in response to wounding Jadwiga Szczegielniak Department of Plant Biochemistry, Institute Biochemistry and Biophysics Polish Academy of Sciences, Pawińskiego 5a Str, 02-106 Warsaw, Poland Plants respond to mechanical wounding or herbivore attack not only in damaged tissue (lo...
resistant crops with anticipated agronomical traits. To achieve this objective, understanding the diverse mechanisms by which plants protect themselves against abiotic stresses is imperative. This review emphasizes on recent progress and future prospects for abiotic stress tolerance and productivity in plants...
Plants strike back: Kiwellin proteins as a modular toolbox for plant defense mechanismsPathogen-related proteinsUstilago maydischorismatekiwellinPlants have to cope with numerous stresses in nature to avoid damage or cell death. We recently reported a class of plant defense proteins termed kiwellins ...
Two possible mechanisms could be involved to account for this phenomenon. First, PhtQ enzyme is a substrate tolerant peptide ligase and capable of catalyzing the synthesis of Cit-Ala-hArg with Citrulline and dipeptide Ala-hArg as substrates. Second, a potential transcarbamylase catalyzes the ...
Here, we elucidated the potential mechanisms of cold acclimation in DM1 and the China Spring (CS) variety, especially the role of the antioxidant system, using transcriptome and physiological analyses. Cold stress increased H2O2 and O2− production in both varieties; however, CS had higher ...
These changes critically disrupt the normal physiological mechanisms in plants, and consequently reduce the growth and yield [38]. Another study revealed that Cd induced oxidative stress, negatively affected the DNA, RNA, and ribosomal biosynthesis, and inhibited the synthesis of various enzymes ...
