Incompatible strains of Acidovorax avenae elicit an immune response in cultured rice cells, with immunity specifically induced by the flagellin of the incompatible strain. To identify genes regulated by flagellin perception signaling in cultured rice cells, gene expression patterns were analyzed with rice cDNA microarrays, including 3,353 independent rice cDNA clones. In all, 131 genes were differentially expressed between incompatible and compatible interactions. K-means clustering showed that 94 genes were upregulated and 32 genes were downregulated during incompatible interactions, whereas only 5 genes were upregulated during compatible interactions. Among the 126 genes that were up- or downregulated during incompatible interactions, expression of 46 genes was decreased when cultured rice cells were inoculated with a flagellin-deficient incompatible strain (delta fla1141-2), indicating that approximately 37% of the 126 genes were directly controlled by flagellin perception. Real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis using flagellins purified from incompatible or compatible strains was performed to confirm flagellin-regulated expression of candidate genes selected by microarray analysis. Results showed that induction of some genes involved in the immune response is regulated not only by the flagellin perception pathway, but also by another recognition molecule-perception pathway.

The perception and evolution of flagellin, cold shock protein and elongation factor Tu from vector-borne bacterial plant pathogens.

Article Synopsis
- Vector-borne bacterial pathogens negatively impact crops globally, resulting in significant financial losses due to their host- and vector-dependent evolution that has led to a reduced genome size.
- Research focused on three specific protein features from these pathogens revealed that they have fewer genes related to flagellin and cold shock proteins compared to their free-living relatives, making them less effective at provoking immune responses in plants.
- The study also found that certain epitopes from the 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' can trigger immune responses in some plants, indicating that these pathogens have adapted mechanisms to evade detection by their hosts.

Plants rely on immune receptor complexes at the cell surface to perceive microbial molecules and transduce these signals into the cell to regulate immunity. Various immune receptors and associated proteins are often dynamically distributed in specific nanodomains on the plasma membrane (PM). However, the exact molecular mechanism and functional relevance of this nanodomain targeting in plant immunity regulation remain largely unknown.

Plants initiate specific defense responses by recognizing conserved epitope peptides within the flagellin proteins derived from bacteria. Proteolytic cleavage of epitope peptides from flagellin by plant apoplastic proteases is thought to be crucial for the perception of the epitope by the plant receptor. However, the identity of the plant proteases involved in this process remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Iron is crucial for interactions between hosts and microorganisms, and hosts use nutritional immunity to restrict iron availability during infections.
- Plant roots, like those in Arabidopsis thaliana, typically increase iron accessibility in response to deficiency, but this can also promote harmful bacteria growth.
- The study found that bacterium-associated molecules can suppress root iron acquisition by degrading a signaling peptide (IMA1), impacting both iron uptake and plant immunity against bacterial threats.
