Abstract

Plant cells challenged by viral, bacterial, or fungal pathogens, by elicitor molecules derived from pathogens, or by certain physical stresses undergo an oxidative burst — a rapid synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) — similar to that produced by mammalian phagocytes. The enzymatic origin of the ROS is under active investigation. In certain systems, there is evidence for a superoxide-producing NADPH oxidase complex formed from cytoplasmic and plasma membrane components, analogous (and possibly homologous) to that in mammals. However, the critical redox potential of the cytochrome component of that enzyme has not yet been found in plant plasma membranes. The fractionation of plant plasma membranes reveals several potential superoxide-generating systems that do not seem to require cytoplasmic components, suggesting other potential sources of ROS. In other systems, other mechanisms are apparently effective, with peroxidase (POD) a candidate for participation in apoplastic H202 synthesis. It is likely that there is more than one mechanism for synthesizing ROS in the plant cell oxidative burst and that different plant / elicitor systems utilize different mechanisms.
