Some given facts regarding effector molecules such as;

a) HC-toxin-induced plasma membrane hyperpolarization in guard cells causes massive K+ uptake and permanent stomatal opening

b) Xanthomonas, are proteins that target the plant cell nucleus and causes change in gene expression, called transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors bind to the host plant DNA and activate the expression of genes

c) Fusicoccin, a cyclic peptide, acts on the enzyme histone deacetylase in the nucleus, and may have a compromising effect on the expression of genes involved in defense

d) Gibberellins accelerate growth, resulting in bigger plants when compared with uninfested plants. The gibberellins produced by the fungi are identical to those produced endogenously by the plant

Ultrastructural studies have led to the characterization of two distinctive cytological

pathways of PCD in plants;

I) Vacuolar-type PCD

II) Hypersensitive response-type (HR-type) PCD

a) cytosol and all its organelles, including the plasma membrane, are completely brokendown

b) The vacuole loses water, resulting in marked cell shrinkage, contraction from the cell wall,

and nuclear DNA degradation

c) PCD occurs in leaves in response to microbial attack

d) cell wall is either partially or completely digested as well, as in endosperm tissue

e) Continued water loss from the cytosol leads to the breakdown of the plasma membrane

and the release of residual cellular contents into the apoplast

Given characterization of PCD pathway match with its type PCD?
