Article Synopsis
  • Several plant defense elicitors have been studied for their ability to activate immunity through the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).
  • Research shows that early gene activation in response to different PAMPs is similar, but it's unclear how this affects later metabolites and proteins produced during immunity.
  • When testing the combined effect of flg22 and chitosan on resistance to a bacterial pathogen, a slight increase in resistance was observed, and the combination impacted more metabolites and metabolic pathways than when the elicitors were used alone.

The genome of the hemibiotrophic anthracnose fungus, , encodes a large inventory of putative secreted effector proteins that are sequentially expressed at different stages of plant infection, namely appressorium-mediated penetration, biotrophy and necrotrophy. However, the destinations to which these proteins are addressed inside plant cells are unknown. In the present study, we selected 61 putative effector genes that are highly induced in appressoria and/or biotrophic hyphae.
