Lipopolysaccharide and Its Interactions with Plants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bacterial Lipopolysaccharides

Abstract

In an environment that is rich in potentially pathogenic microorganisms, the survival of higher eukaryotic organisms depends on efficient pathogen sensing and rapidly mounted defence responses. Such protective mechanisms are found in all multicellular organisms and are collectively referred to as innate immunity. Innate immunity is the first line of defence against invading microorganisms in vertebrates and the only line of defence in invertebrates and plants [1]. Plants interact with a variety of microorganisms, and like insects and mammals, they respond to a broad range of microbial molecules. The recognition of non-self induces plant defence responses such as the oxidative burst, nitric oxide (NO) generation, extracellular pH increase, cell wall strengthening and pathogenesis-related (PR) protein accumulation, leading to basal resistance or innate immunity. Recognition of non-self, such as an invading pathogen, is crucial for an effective defence response.
