Defense mechanisms in plants
1. HOW PLANTS DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST PATHOGENS
Presented by-
Abhisek Tripathy

DEFENCE MECHANISMS IN PLANTS
2. In general, plants defend themselves against
pathogens by a combination of weapons from two
arsenals:
1) Structural characteristics that act as physical
barriers and inhibit the pathogen from gaining
entrance and spreading through the plant and
2) Biochemical reactions that take place in the
cells and tissues of the plant and produce
substances that are either toxic to the pathogen
or create conditions that inhibit growth of the
pathogen in the plant.
3. Two types
A. Pre formed or pre existing defense
structures
B. Post infectional or induced defense
structures
4. Two types
A. Pre formed or pre existing biochemical
defense
B. Post infectional or induced biochemical
defense
5. 1. Structural defence mechanisms
A. Pre formed or pre existing defense structures
The first line of defense of a plant against pathogens is its
surface,which the pathogen must adhere to and penetrate if
it is to cause infection.
Some structural defense are present in the plant even before
the pathogen comes in contact with the plant.
Such structure include the amount and quality of wax and
cuticle that cover the epidermal cells, the structure of the
epidermal cell walls, the size, location and shapes of
stomata and lenticels and
The presence of tissues made of thick walled cells that
hinder the advance of pathogen on the plant.
A thick mat of hairs on a plant surface may also exert a
similar water-repelling effect and may reduce infection.
6. Eg. The stem rust of wheat can enter only when
stomata are open. Thus, some wheat varieties, in
which the stomata open late in the day are resistant
because the germ tubes of spores germinating in the
night dew dessicate due to evaporation of the dew
before the stomata begin to open (fuctional
resistance).
Eg. The structure of stomata, e.g. ,a very narrow
entrance and broad, elevated guard cells may also
confer resistance to some varieties of mandarin
against X. a. pv. Citri.
Also, the xylem, bundle sheath, and cells of the leaf
veins effectively block the spread of some fungal,
bacterial and nematode pathogens that cause
various “angular” leaf spots because of their spread
only into areas between, but not across, veins.
7. B. Post infectional or induced defense
structures
Some of the defense structures formed involve the
cytoplasm of the cells under attack, and the
cytoplasmic defense reaction.
Others invove the walls of invaded cells and are
called cell wall defense structures.
Still others involve tissues ahead of the pathogen
(deeper into the plant) and are called histological
defense structures.
Finally, the death of the invaded cell may protect the
plant from further invasion. This is called necrotic
or hypersensitive defense reaction.
8. 1. Cytoplasmic defense reaction
The plant cell cytoplasm surrounds the clump of hyphae and
the plant cell nucleus is stretched to the point where it breaks
in two.
In some cells, the cytoplasmic reaction is overcome and the
protoplast dissappears while fungal growth increases.
In some of the invaded cells, however the cytoplasm and
nucleus enlarge. The cytoplasm becomes granular and dense,
and various particles or structures appear in it.
Finally, the mycelium of the pathogen disintegrates and the
invasion stops.
9. 2. Cell wall defense structures
The outer layer of cell wall of parenchyma cells coming in
contact with incompatible bacteria swells and produces an
amorphous, fimbrillar material that surrounds and traps the
bacteria and prevents them from multiplying.
Cells walls thicken in response to several pathogens by
producing what appears to be a cellulosic materials. This
material, however, is often infused with phenoloic substances
that are cross-linked and further increase its resistance to
penetration.
Callose papillae are deposited on the inner side of cell walls
in response to invasion by fungal pathogens.
10. Papillae seem to be produced by cells within minutes
after wounding and within 2 to 3 hours after inoculation
with microorganisms.
Although the main function of papillae seems to be
repair of cellular damage, sometimes, especially if
papillae are present before inoculation, they also seem
to prevent the pathogen from subsequently penetrating
the cell.
In some cases, hyphal tips of fungi penetrating a cell
wall and growing into the cell lumen are enveloped by
cellulosic (callose) materials that later become infused
with phenolic substances and form a sheath or
lignituber around the hypha (Fig. 6-4).
11.
12. 3. Histological Defense Structures
A. Formation of Cork Layers
Infection by fungi or bacteria, and even by some viruses and
nematodes, frequently induces plants to form several layers of cork
cells beyond the point of infection (Figs. 6-5 and 6-6), apparently
as a result of stimulation of the host cells by substances secreted
by the pathogen.
The cork layers inhibit further invasion by the pathogen beyond the
initial lesion and also block the spread of any toxic substances that
the pathogen may secrete.
Furthermore, cork layers stop the flow of nutrients and water from
the healthy to the infected area and deprive the pathogen of
nourishment. The dead tissues, including the pathogen, are thus
delimited by the cork layersand may remain in place, forming
necrotic lesions (spots) that are remarkably uniform in size and
shape for a particular host–pathogen combination.
In some host–pathogen combinations the necrotic tissues are
pushed outward by the underlying healthy tissues and form scabs
that may be sloughed off, thus removing the pathogen from the
13.
14.
15. B. Formation of Abscission layers
Abscission layers are formed on young, active leaves of
stone fruit trees after infection by any of several fungi,
bacteria, or viruses.
An abscission layer consists of a gap formed between two
circular layers of leaf cells surrounding the locus of infection.
Upon infection, the middle lamella between these two layers
of cells is dissolved throughout the thickness of the leaf,
completely cutting off the central area of the infection from
the rest of the leaf (Fig. 6-7).
Gradually, this area shrivels, dies, and sloughs off, carrying
with it the pathogen.
Thus, the plant, by discarding the infected area along with a
few yet uninfected cells, protects the rest of the leaf tissue
from being invaded by the pathogen and from becoming
affected by the toxic secretions of the pathogen.
Eg. Leaf spots and shot holes caused by Xanthomonas
16.
17. C. Formation of Tyloses
Tyloses are overgrowths of the protoplast of
adjacent living parenchymatous cells, which
protrude into xylem vessels through pits (Fig. 6-8).
Tyloses have cellulosic walls and may, by their size
and numbers, clog the vessel completely.
In some varieties of plants, tyloses form abundantly
and quickly ahead of the pathogen, while the
pathogen is still in the young roots, and block
further advance of the pathogen.
The plants of these varieties remain free of and
therefore resistant to this pathogen.
Eg. Produced in response to toxin of wilt pathogen
18.
19. D. Deposition of Gums
Various types of gums are produced by many
plants around lesions after infection by pathogens
or injury.
Gum secretion is most common in stone fruit trees
but occurs in most plants.
The defensive role of gums stems from the fact
that they are deposited quickly in the intercellular
spaces and within the cells surrounding the locus
of infection, thus forming an impenetrable barrier
that completely encloses the pathogen.
The pathogen then becomes isolated, starves, and
sooner or later dies.
20. E. Necrotic Structural Defense Reaction
through the Hypersensitive Response
In many host–pathogen combinations, as soon as the
pathogen establishes contact with the cell, the nucleus
moves toward the invading pathogen and soon
disintegrates.
At the same time, brown, resin-like granules form in the
cytoplasm, first around the point of penetration of the
pathogen and then throughout the cytoplasm.
As the browning discoloration of the plant cell cytoplasm
continues and death sets in, the invading hypha begins to
degenerate (Fig. 6-9).
In most cases the hypha does not grow out of such cells,
and further invasion is stopped.
In bacterial infections of leaves, the hypersensitive response
results in the destruction of all cellular membranes of cells in
contact with bacteria, which is followed by desiccation and
21.
22.
23. Apparently, the necrotic tissue not only
isolates the parasite from the living substance
on which it depends for its nutrition and,
thereby, results in its starvation and death,
but, more importantly, it signifies the
concentration of numerous biochemical cell
responses and antimicrobial substances that
neutralize the pathogen.
The faster the host cell dies after invasion,
the more resistant to infection the plant
seems to be.
24. 2. Biochemical defense mechanisms
A. Pre formed or pre existing biochemical
defense
A particular pathogen will not infect certain plant
varieties even though no structural barriers of any
kind seem to be present or to form in these
varieties.
Similarly, in resistant varieties, the rate of disease
development oon slows down, and finally, in the
absence of structural defenses, the disease is
completely checked.
These examples suggest that defense mechanisms
25. 1. Inhibitors Released by the Plant in Its
Environment
Plants exude a variety of substances through the
surface of their aboveground parts as well as through
the surface of their roots (Fungitoxic exudates)
In the case of onion smudge, caused by the fungus
Colletotrichum circinans, resistant varieties generally
have red scales and contain, in addition to the red
pigments, the phenolic compounds protocatechuic acid
and catechol.
Both fungitoxic exudates and inhibition of infection are
missing in white-scaled, susceptible onion varieties (Fig.
6-2).
26.
27. 2. Inhibitors Present in Plant Cells
before Infection
Some plants are resistant to diseases caused by certain
pathogens because of one or more inhibitory
antimicrobial compounds, known as phytoanticipins,
which are present in the cell before infection.
Several phenolic compounds, tannins, and some
fatty acid-like compounds such as dienes, which
are present in high concentrations in cells of young
fruits, leaves, or seeds, have been proposed as
responsible for the resistance of young tissues to
pathogenic microorganisms such as Botrytis.
For example, increased 9-hexadecanoic acid in cutin
monomers in transgenic tomato plants led to resistance
of such plants to powdery mildew because these cutin
28. 3. Lack of Recognition between Host and
Pathogen
Plants of a species or variety may not become infected
by a pathogen if their surface cells lack specific
recognition factors (specific molecules or
structures) that can be recognized by the pathogen.
If the pathogen does not recognize the plant as one of
its host plants, it may not become attached to the plant
or may notproduce infection substances, such as
enzymes, or structures, such as appressoria,
penetration pegs, and haustoria, necessary for the
establishment of infection.
29. 4. Lack of Host Receptors and Sensitive Sites for
Toxins
In host–pathogen combinations in which the pathogen
(usually a fungus) produces a host-specific toxin, the
toxin, which is responsible for the symptoms, is thought
to attach to and react with specific receptors or sensitive
sites in the cell.
Only plants that have such sensitive receptors or sites
become diseased. Plants of other varieties or species
that lack such receptors or sites remain resistant to the
toxin and develop no symptoms.
30. 5. Lack of Essential Substances for the
Pathogen
Species or varieties of plants that for some reason do not
produce one of the substances essential for the survival of
an obligate parasite, or for development of infection by any
parasite, would be resistant to the pathogen that requires it.
Thus, for Rhizoctonia to infect a plant it needs to obtain from
the plant a substance necessary for formation of a hyphal
cushion from which the fungus sends into the plant its
penetration hyphae.
In plants in which this substance is apparently lacking,
cushions do not form, infection does not occur, and the
plants are resistant.
The fungus does not normally form hyphal cushions in pure
cultures but forms them when extracts from a susceptible but
not a resistant plant are added to the culture.
Eg. bacterial soft rot of potatoes, causedby Erwinia
carotovora var. atroseptica, is less severe on potatoes with
31. B. Post infectional or induced
biochemical defense
Defense through Production of Secondary
Metabolites: Phenolics
Phytoalexins
32. Phytoalexins are toxic antimicrobial substances
produced in appreciable amounts in plants only after
stimulation by various types of phytopathogenic
microorganisms or by chemical and mechanical injury.
Phytoalexins are produced by healthy cells adjacent to
localized damaged and necrotic cells in response to
materials diffusing from the damaged cells.
Phytoalexins accumulate around both resistant and
susceptible necrotic tissues. Resistance occurs when
one or more phytoalexins reach a concentration
sufficient to restrict pathogen development.
Most known phytoalexins are toxic to and inhibit the
growth of fungi pathogenic to plants, but some are also
toxic to bacteria, nematodes, and other organisms.
More than 300 chemicals with phytoalexinlike
properties have been isolated from plants belonging to
33. The chemical structures of phytoalexins produced
by plants of a family are usually quite similar;
e.g., in most legumes, phytoalexins are
isoflavonoids, and in the Solanaceae they are
terpenoids.
Some of the better studied phytoalexins include
phaseollin in bean (Fig. 6-21); pisatin in pea;
glyceollin in soybean, alfalfa, and clover; rishitin in
potato; gossypol in cotton; and capsidiol in pepper.
34. 2. Production of Antimicrobial Substances in
Attacked Host Cells
Pathogenesis-Related Proteins
Pathogenesis-related proteins, often called PR proteins,
are a structurally diverse group of plant proteins that are
toxic to invading fungal pathogens.
They are widely distributed in plants in trace amounts,
but are produced in much greater concentration
following pathogen attack or stress.
PR proteins exist in plant cells intracellularly and also in
the intercellular spaces, particularly in the cell walls of
different tissues.
35. The several groups of PR proteins have been classified
according to their function, serological relationship,
amino acid sequence, molecular weight, and certain
other properties.
PR proteins are either extremely acidic or extremely
basic and therefore are highly soluble and reactive.
At least 14 families of PR proteins are recognized.
The better known PR proteins are PR1 proteins
(antioomycete and antifungal), PR2 (b-1,3-glucanases),
PR3 (chitinases), PR4 proteins (antifungal), PR6
(proteinase inhibitors) (Fig. 6-19), thaumatine-like
proteins, defensins, thionins, lysozymes, osmotinlike
proteins, lipoxygenases, cysteine-rich proteins, glycine-
rich proteins, proteinases, chitosanases, and
36. 3.Immunization of plants against
pathogens
Defense through Plantibodies
Antibodies, encoded by animal genes but produced in
and by the plant, are called plantibodies.
It has already been shown that transgenic plants
producing plantibodies against coat proteins of viruses,
e.g., artichoke mottle crinkle virus, to which they are
susceptible, can defend themselves and show some
resistance to infection by these viruses.
Plants such as tobacco, potato, and pea have been
shown to be good producers of antibody for
pharmaceutical purposes.
Plants have been shown to produce functional
37. Eg. 1. Plantibodies to tobacco mosaic virus
in tobacco decreased infectivity of the virus
by 90%
Eg. 2. Plantibodies to beet necrotic yellow
vein virus, also in tobacco, provides a partial
protection against the virus in the early
stages of infection and against development
of symptoms later on;
Eg. 3. Plantibodies to stolbur phytoplasma
and to corn stunt spiroplasma, also in
38. 4. DETOXIFICATION OF PATHOGEN TOXINS
BY PLANTS
In at least some of the diseases in which the pathogen
produces a toxin, resistance to disease is apparently the
same as resistance to the toxin.
Detoxification of at least some toxins, e.g., HC toxin and
pyricularin, produced by the fungi Cochliobolus carbonum
and Magnaporthe grisea, respectively, is known to occur in
plants and may play a role in disease resistance.
Some of these toxins appear to be metabolized more rapidly
by resistant varieties or are combined with other substances
and form less toxic or nontoxic compounds.
The amount of the nontoxic compound formed is often
proportional to the disease resistance of the variety.
Resistant plants and nonhosts are not affected by the
specific toxins produced by Cochliobolus, Periconia, and
39. 5) Disruption of host cell membrane:
Some structural and permeability changes in host cell membrane play a
role in defense.
Most common are -
Release of molecules in signal transduction around cell and systemically.
Release and accumulation of reactive oxygen 'radicals' and lipoxygenase
enzyme.
Activation of phenol oxidases and oxidation of phenolic due to loss of
comport meutalisation.
6) Oxidative burst and release of Nitric oxide (NO):
Rapid generation of activated oxygen radicals, superoxide (O2-),
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), Hydroxylradical (OH) released by
multisubunit NADPH enzymes complex of cell membrane.
Hydroperoxidation of membrane phospholipids to lipid hydroperoxides.
Disrupt cell membrane and induce cell colapse and death.
40. 7) Strengthening of host cell wall resistance:
Accumulation of defense related substances in cell wall.
e.g. Callose, glycoproteins rich in hydroxy proline,
phenolics (lignin, suberin) and mineral like silicon and
calcium. Form complex polymer and cross link with one-
another forming insoluble cell wall structures.
8) Production of anti-microbials in attacked cells:
Common phenolics-
Produced and accumulated after infection in a resistant
variety.
Chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and ferulic acid
Combined effect, rather than individual.
41. CONCLUSIONS
1) Plants defened to pathogens at pre-germination and
germination stage with structural defense (pre-existing
and induced).
2) When plants fails to defense pathogen with structural
defense the biochemical defense mechanism is
activated.
3) When pathogen elicitors reach to the host receptors,
signal transduction takes place and a cascade of several
structural and bio-chemical responses starts.
4) Plant defense is not the result of a single mechanism
but the cumulative effect of more than one
mechanisms.
5)All the defense exhibited by the plants are governed by
