Diagram to illustrate how reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by plants induce the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 to secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) and express the catalase KatB. ROS enhance the loading of KatB into EVs, thereby facilitating bacterial colonization within the host. This process is regulated by the ankyrin-repeat protein AnkB.

#Rice bacterial blight poses a significant threat to rice #crops, but in a new study published in #JIPB, Sheng et al. reveal the role of arginine methyltransferase (OsPRMT5) in enhancing #resistance to blight infection.

#PlantSci #Agriculture #botany

Diagram representing a cell under normal growth conditions and one under pathogen infection, each with annotated flow charts to illustrate how arginine methyltransferase (OsPRMT5) enhances rice resistance to bacterial blight by modulating salicylic acid and lignin contents through arginine methylation of the salicylic acid biosynthesis enzyme PHENYLALANINE AMMONIA LYASE 1 (OsPAL1). Also shown is the impact of an effector, secreted by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, which disrupts the OsPRMT5–OsPAL1 interaction, impairing OsPRMT5-mediated immune responses.
