Expression data from elicitor-treated Arabidopsis seedling roots [25min]

Plants can perceive the presence of pathogens at the cell surface and plant damage-derived molecules via recognition of conserved microbial molecules, named pathogen- or microbe-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Well-studied examples of PAMPs are chito-oligomers, breakdown products of fungal cell walls and insect exoskeletons. Pectin-derived oligogalacturonides (OGs) are well-characterized DAMPs. Both PAMPs nd DAMPs are capable of activating plant immunity, generating changes in gene expression that lead to increased production of defense compounds and proteins; thus, equipping the plant cell to defend itself.
