The chloroplast protein RPH1 plays a role in the immune response of Arabidopsis to Phytophthora brassicae

Lin, Khaoula Belhaj, Baiqing ; Mauch, Felix

In: The Plant Journal, 2009, vol. 58, no. 2, p. 287 - 298

Plant immune responses to pathogens are often associated with enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), known as the oxidative burst, and with rapid hypersensitive host cell death (the hypersensitive response, HR) at sites of attempted infection. It is generally accepted that the oxidative burst acts as a promotive signal for HR, and that HR is highly correlated with efficient disease...

Pseudomonas syringae Elicits Emission of the Terpenoid (E,E)-4,8,12-Trimethyl-1,3,7,11-Tridecatetraene in Arabidopsis Leaves Via Jasmonate Signaling and Expression of the Terpene Synthase TPS4

Volatile, low–molecular weight terpenoids have been implicated in plant defenses, but their direct role in resistance against microbial pathogens is not clearly defined. We have examined a possible role of terpenoid metabolism in the induced defense of Arabidopsis thaliana plants against leaf infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. Inoculation of plants with...

Sulphur deficiency causes a reduction in antimicrobial potential and leads to increased disease susceptibility of oilseed rape

Dubuis, Pierre-Henri ; Marazzi, Cristina ; Städler, Erich ; Mauch, Felix

In: Journal of Phytopathology, 2005, vol. 153, p. 27-36

The reduction of atmospheric sulphur dioxide pollution is causing increasing problems of sulphur deficiency in sulphur-demanding crop plants in northern Europe. Elemental sulphur and many sulphur containing compounds such as cysteine-rich antifungal proteins, glucosinolates (GSL) and phytoalexins play important roles in plant disease resistance. The aim of this work was to analyse the effect of...
