#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Many different types of bacterial Avr effectors delivered by type III secretion have been identified to be enzymes such as phosphatases, proteases, phosphoserine lyases, or E3 ubiquitin ligases that attenuate host defense signaling.

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

The nematode‐secreted peptide 16D10, which was first isolated from the soybean root‐knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, interacts with a plant regulatory protein, stimulates root growth, and binds in planta to two SCARECROW‐like transcription factors.

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

The bacterial blight pathogen of rice (Oryza sativa), Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, secretes a highly conserved sulfated peptide called Ax21, which mediates quorum sensing by controlling Xanthomonas motility, biofilm formation, and virulence.

Three major types of insect herbivores

Phloem feeders, such as aphids and whiteflies, cause little damage to the epidermis and mesophyll cells. Phloem feeders insert their narrow stylet, which is an elongated mouthpart, into the phloem sieve tubes of leaves and stems.

The amount of direct injury to the plant is low, when these insects serve as vectors for plant viruses they can cause great damage.
