NOD-LIKE RECEPTORS (NLRs) and homologous Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) are a family of key innate immune system pathogen pathogen recognition molecules common to both plants and higher animals including man. In man, they are also involved in wound healing. You thought you were so different from a plant? https://lnkd.in/eFus3n9 View in LinkedIn

PATTERN RECOGNITION RECEPTORS. "Activation of PRRs leads to a whole range of immune responses, including an increase in cytosolic Ca2+, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activation of a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade and transcriptional changes." All these molecular events are toxic to plant pathogens. https://lnkd.in/eWZ-igq View in LinkedIn

PLANT INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM. "Plants are constantly interpreting microbial signals from potential pathogens and potential commensals or mutualists. Because plants have no circulating cells dedicated to this task, every plant cell must, in principle, recognize any microbe as friend, foe, or irrelevant bystander." https://lnkd.in/eNmVQSu View in LinkedIn

PATHOGEN DETECTION. "For plants, detection of microbial fingerprints, also referred to as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) is a warning of impeding attack. Consequently, a key aspect of plant innate immunity is the ability to recognize PAMPs, such as bacterial flagellin, lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycans, and fungal chitin." https://lnkd.in/eRGXkHd View in LinkedIn

PLANT CELL WALL IMMUNITY. "The frontline of plant defense systems consists of physical and chemical barriers such as the cell wall, waxes, hairs, antimicrobial enzymes, and secondary metabolites. If these obstacles are overcome, the pathogen is still confronted by elaborate surveillance systems in which molecular sentinels operate to activate resistance responses." https://lnkd.in/eRGXkHd View in LinkedIn
