Oligosaccharide Elicitors in Host-Pathogen Interactions

Generation, Perception, and Signal Transduction

  • Chapter
Plant-Microbe Interactions

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 29))

Abstract

Studies of plant-microorganism interactions yielded the first evidence that oligosaccharides could serve as biological signals. Much of this research focused on the synthesis and accumulation of antimicrobial phytoalexins in response to microbial attack. Phytoalexin synthesis and accumulation are observed not only after microbial infection, but also after treatment of plant tissue with cell-free extracts of microbial origin.
