Activation of Defense Responses by Pti4, Pti5, and Pti6 in Arabidopsis Plants

Pti4, Pti5, and Pti6 activate defense responses in Arabidopsis by activating multiple mechanisms to protect plants from infection. They induce a wide array of defense genes through signal transduction pathways targeting the nucleus. These transcription factors trigger the expression of PR proteins and enzymes involved in pathogen degradation. While the exact roles of some PR proteins are unknown, others show antifungal properties in vitro and in vivo. The signaling pathways involved include SA, ET, JA, and defense response pathways.

  2. Plants - Respond to pathogen attack---- by activating multiple defense mechanisms to protect themselves from infection. - Recognition of specific pathogens and the activation of highly regulated signal transduction pathways. - A major target of these pathways is the cell nucleus, where signals lead to the transcriptional activation of a large array of defense genes - The products of these genes include pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins as well as enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of protective secondary metabolites. - Although the functions of many PR proteins remain unknown, some PR proteins, :: 1,3-glucanase (PR2) and chitinase (PR3), are hydrolytic enzymes that have been shown to degrade fungal cell walls and to inhibit fungal growth both in vivo and in vitro Several signaling molecules - Salicylic acid (SA),ethylene (ET), jasmonic acid (JA), - Defense response pathways - The SA-dependent defense signaling pathway :: PR1, PR2, and PR5. - The ET/JA-dependent signaling pathway(s) :: PR3, PR4, and PDF1.2.
