Plants and animals activate defenses after perceiving pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) such as bacterial flagellin. In Arabidopsis, perception of flagellin increases resistance to the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae, although the molecular mechanisms involved remain elusive. Here, we show that a flagellin-derived peptide induces a plant microRNA (miRNA) that negatively regulates messenger RNAs for the F-box auxin receptors TIR1, AFB2, and AFB3. Repression of auxin signaling…

Roles of Plant Hormones in Plant Resistance and Susceptibility to Pathogens

The data suggest that elevation of auxin levels constitute a bacterial pathogenicity strategy that is suppressed during the innate immune response to PAMPs, and showed that DELLA proteins play a role in the balance between salicylic acid and jasmonic acid–mediated defense signaling pathways.

Suppression of the MicroRNA Pathway by Bacterial Effector Proteins

Bacteria have evolved to suppress RNA silencing to cause disease, and miRNA-deficient mutants of Arabidopsis partly restore growth of a type III secretion-defective mutant of Pseudomonas syringae are identified.

MicroRNAs Are Involved in Regulating Plant Development and Stress Response through Fine-Tuning of TIR1/AFB-Dependent Auxin Signaling

This review will detail the miRNAs involved in auxin signaling to illustrate its in planta complex regulation.

Role of small RNAs in the interaction between Arabidopsis and Pseudomonas syringae

Experimental evidence indicates that the miRNA pathway play a major role in PAMP-triggered immunity while some of the siRNA pathways appear to be more important in effector-trIGgered immunity.

TOPLESS promotes plant immunity by repressing auxin signaling and is targeted by the fungal effector Naked1

A plant microRNA regulates the adaptation of roots to drought stress

Auxin and salicylic acid signalings counteract the regulation of adaptive responses to stress

It is reported that salicylic acid (SA)-treated tir1 afb2 mutant shows enhanced transcript level of a pathogenesis related gene, PR1, which suggests that down-regulation of auxin signaling may be a common mechanism within the plant adaptative response against both biotic and abiotic stresses.

Insights into Auxin Signaling in Plant–Pathogen Interactions

The emerging knowledge on auxin-signaling components, auxin metabolic processes, and indole-derived phytoalexins in plant responses to pathogen invasion has provided putative mechanisms of IAA in plant susceptibility and resistance to non-gall- or tumor-inducing pathogens.

A pathogen-inducible endogenous siRNA in plant immunity

The discovery of an endogenous siRNA, nat-siRNAATGB2, that is specifically induced by the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae carrying effector avrRpt2 is reported, contributing to RPS2-mediated race-specific disease resistance by repressing PPRL, a putative negative regulator of the R PS2 resistance pathway.

RNA Interference: A Natural Immune System of Plants to Counteract Biotic Stressors

The RNA silencing pathway, anti-silencing suppressors, and counter-defenses of plants to viral, fungal, and bacterial pathogens are summarized.

The Arabidopsis F-box protein TIR1 is an auxin receptor

It is shown that TIR1 is an auxin receptor mediating transcriptional responses to auxin, and that auxin signalling involves the modification of SCFTIR1, which is an Aux/IAA transcriptional repressor proteins and the ubiquitin–ligase complex SC FTIR1.

Identification of an SCF ubiquitin-ligase complex required for auxin response in Arabidopsis thaliana.

In Arabidopsis, auxin response is dependent on a ubiquitin-ligase (E3) complex called SCFTIR1, which provides new support for a model in which auxin action depends on the regulated proteolysis of repressor proteins.

Plant development is regulated by a family of auxin receptor F box proteins.

The F-box protein TIR1 is an auxin receptor

TIR1 is an auxin receptor that mediates Aux/IAA degradation and auxin-regulated transcription and the loss of TIR1 and three related F-box proteins eliminates saturable auxin binding in plant extracts.

Genetics of Aux/IAA and ARF action in plant growth and development

A review of mutations that affect auxin-modulated transcription factors, in particular those in the Aux/IAA and AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR(ARF) genes, and potential mechanisms for interactions between auxin and light response pathways suggested by these mutants.

The Transcriptional Innate Immune Response to flg22. Interplay and Overlap with Avr Gene-Dependent Defense Responses and Bacterial Pathogenesis1[w]

A substantial overlap was revealed between the Arabidopsis flg22 response and the tobacco Avr9 race-specific defense response, and it is inferred that Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato represses the flagellin-initiated defense response.

Auxin regulates SCFTIR1-dependent degradation of AUX/IAA proteins

It is shown that SCFTIR1 is required for AUX/IAA degradation, and it is proposed that auxin promotes the degradation of this large family of transcriptional regulators, leading to diverse downstream effects.

Auxin-responsive gene expression: genes, promoters and regulatory factors

A molecular approach to investigate auxin signaling in plants has led to the identification of several classes of early/primary auxin response genes, and a family of trans-acting transcription factors that bind with specificity to AuxREs has been characterized.

Susceptible to intolerance--a range of hormonal actions in a susceptible Arabidopsis pathogen response.

The results indicate that the plants response to a virulent pathogen is a composite of multiple signaling pathways, including ethylene and SA action.
