Analysis of Plant Recognition Nematodes

In general, pathogens are perceived by several different recognition systems in plants. The first recognition system is mediated by the perception of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as bacterial flagellin, fungal chitin, and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) released by the disrupted host plant tissues. PAMPs and DAMPs are perceived by cell surface-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), leading to pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). In resistant plants, however, these effectors are often recognized by intracellular nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat (NLR)-type immune sensors, leading to NLR-triggered immunity.

Lifeasible provides analysis services for recognizing nematodes by plant immune systems, to help our customers worldwide in the field of plant science. Our experts will answer your questions comprehensively and carefully and help you solve the problems in your studies. We guarantee satisfied and reliable results for our customers all over the world.

Recognition of Plant Nematodes by PTI

• Plant nematodes are known to induce PTI in plants. PAMP and DAMP in nematodes activate typical plant immune responses, such as mitogen-activated protein kinases, PTI-marker gene expression, and salicylic acid- and jasmonic acid (JA)-mediated defense signaling pathways.
• Lifeasible provides analysis of plant recognition nematodes by PTI that are induced by PAMP. For example, ascaris is a nematode PAMP recognized by a variety of monocotyledons and dicots, and its corresponding PRR are NILR1, BAK1, and others.
• Plant nematode infections induce host-cell damage; thus, they likely produce DAMP(s), which results in PTI induction. We help our clients study this processing; polygalacturonase inhibitor proteins (PGIPs) in plants release oligogalacturonides (OGs), which triggers PTI.

Recognition of Plant Nematodes by NLR

• NLR proteins also play critical roles in recognizing plant nematodes. NLRs involved in nematode recognition is mostly encoded by resistance (R) genes.
• So, we provide analysis services for these R genes, including tomato Mi-1.2, Mi-9, and Hero-A; potato Gpa2 and Gro1-4; pepper CaMi; and prune Ma. Further, we help analyze the structural domains that identify nematodes, such as highly polymorphic C-terminal post-LRR region in Ma protein, and so on.

Recognition of Plant Nematodes by PRR

Surface-localized PRRs are also known to recognize plant nematode effectors. We also provide analysis services for the recognition of plant nematodes by PRR, such as Cf-2 which recognizes both nematode pathogens by monitoring RCR3pim.

Lifeasible offers analysis services for the recognition of nematodes by the plant immune system.
