Necrosis01:16

Necrosis

3.9K
Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become...

Defenses Against Pathogens and Herbivores

22.8K
Plants present a rich source of nutrients for many organisms, making it a target for herbivores and infectious agents. Plants, though lacking a proper immune system, have developed an array of constitutive and inducible defenses to fend off these attacks.

Cell Signaling in Plants

5.6K
Plant cells communicate to coordinate their cycle of growth, flowering and fruiting, and activities in roots, shoots, and leaves in response to the changing environmental conditions. Plant signaling is distinct from animal signaling. Plants primarily utilize enzyme-linked receptors, whereas the largest class of cell-surface receptors in animals are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Unlike animals, receptor tyrosine kinases are rare in plants. Instead, plants have a diverse class of...

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

34.9K
Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

Plant Hormones01:56

Plant Hormones

23.3K
Plant hormones—or phytohormones—are chemical molecules that modulate one or more physiological processes of a plant. In animals, hormones are often produced in specific glands and circulated via the circulatory system. However, plants lack hormone-producing glands.

Area of Science:

  • Plant immunity
  • Cellular signaling
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Plant cell death is crucial for immunity, involving calcium, iron, and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
  • The resistosome, an NLR receptor complex, mediates hypersensitive response (HR) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI).
  • Ferroptosis, an iron- and ROS-dependent cell death, is implicated in plant defense.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the roles of calcium, iron, and ROS signaling in ferroptosis during plant immunity.
  • To discuss the coordination of Ca2+ signaling with iron and ROS in plant immune responses.
  • To highlight advances in understanding Ca2+-mediated ferroptotic cell death in plant defense.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of plant immunity and cell death mechanisms.
  • Analysis of signaling pathways involving calcium, iron, and ROS.
  • Examination of ferroptosis in the context of plant-pathogen interactions.

Main Results:

  • Calcium influx through resistosomes mediates iron- and ROS-dependent ferroptotic cell death.
  • Reduced glutathione reductase (GR) expression is linked to ferroptosis in ETI.
  • Plant defense activator Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) enhances ferroptosis.

Conclusions:

  • Calcium signaling plays a key role in ferroptosis and plant immunity.
  • Ferroptosis is a critical component of plant immune responses.
  • Understanding Ca2+-mediated ferroptosis offers insights into effective plant defense strategies.
