Resistance proteins: scouts of the plant innate immune system

Sustainable disease management in a European context

Abstract

Recognition of non-self in plants is mediated by specialised receptors that upon pathogen perception trigger induction of host defence responses. Primary, or basal, defence is mainly triggered by trans-membrane receptors that recognise conserved molecules released by a variety of (unrelated) microbes. Pathogens can overcome these basal defences by the secretion of specific effectors. Subsequent recognition of these effectors by specialised receptors (called resistance proteins) triggers induction of a second layer of plant defence responses. These responses are qualitatively similar to primary defence responses; however, they are generally faster and stronger. Here we give an overview of the predicted (domain) structures of resistance proteins and their proposed mode of action as molecular switches of plant innate immunity. We also highlight recent advances revealing that some of these proteins act in the plant nucleus as transcriptional co-regulators and that crosstalk can occur between members of different resistance protein families.
