Spotlight on the Roles of Whitefly Effectors in Insect-Plant Interactions

Diana Naalden, Paula J. M. van Kleeff, Sarmina Dangol, Marieke Mastop, Rebecca Corkill, Saskia A. Hogenhout, Merijn R. Kant, Robert C. Schuurink

Summary: The Bemisia tabaci species complex (whitefly) causes significant agricultural losses by feeding on various plant species and transmitting plant viruses. Research on whitefly effectors has shed light on how these insects manipulate plant processes and the roles of effector proteins. More exploration is needed to understand the localization and targets of these effectors in plants, as well as their roles beyond plant defense pathways.

Advances of herbivore-secreted elicitors and effectors in plant-insect interactions

Huiying Wang, Shaojie Shi, Wei Hua

Summary: Diverse molecular processes regulate interactions between insects and their host plants. In response to insect attack, plants activate defense mechanisms, such as the JA and SA pathways, Ca2+ flux, ROS burst, MAPK activation, and other responses. Insects secrete effectors to interfere with plant defenses, while plants have evolved R proteins to recognize and trigger stronger defense responses. Recent advances in multi-omics approaches have been made to identify and study the molecular mechanisms of these effectors, providing potential strategies for pest control.

Crucial Roles of Effectors in Interactions between Horticultural Crops and Pathogens

Ting Liu, Yong Chen, Shiping Tian, Boqiang Li

Summary: Horticultural crops are susceptible to bacterial, fungal, and oomycete pathogens, which secrete effectors to evade plant immunity. This review summarizes the functions and mechanisms of action of proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous effectors secreted by these pathogens. Plant hosts have evolved specific recognition mechanisms and activate effector-triggered immunity (ETI) to counteract effectors. The potential application of effector biology in disease management and breeding of resistant varieties is also discussed.

Exchange of Microbiomes in Plant-Insect Herbivore Interactions

A. M. Pirttila, V. Brusila, J. J. Koskimaki, P. R. Wali, A. L. Ruotsalainen, M. Mutanen, A. M. Markkola

Summary: Prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial symbiotic communities exist across different kingdoms, extending the host genome and aiding adaptation to changing environments. Plants and insects carry a variety of microbes on their surfaces, internally, and even within cells, with the insect gut being a selective environment. Despite their high dependence and frequent interaction, it remains uncertain how much plants and insects exchange and modify each other's microbiomes. This review focuses on herbivores that feed on plants in forest ecosystems, discussing the plant microbiome, overlap with insect microbial communities, and the effects of microbiome exchange on each host's fitness.

Effectors of Plant Necrotrophic Fungi

Dandan Shao, Damon L. Smith, Mehdi Kabbage, Mitchell G. Roth

Summary: Plant diseases caused by necrotrophic fungal pathogens lead to significant economic losses in global field crop production. Effector proteins play a crucial role in facilitating plant colonization and nutrient acquisition by pathogens. Despite limited understanding, recent bioinformatics advancements have aided in predicting and discovering effector molecules from necrotrophic fungi, shedding light on their functional context. Understanding the mechanisms of necrotrophic effectors is essential for developing genetic interventions to enhance plant resistance against these pathogens.

The Role of Arabinogalactan Type II Degradation in Plant-Microbe Interactions

Maria Guadalupe Villa-Rivera, Horacio Cano-Camacho, Everardo Lopez-Romero, Maria Guadalupe Zavala-Paramo

Summary: Arabinogalactans (AGs) are structural polysaccharides of the plant cell wall, associated with proteins forming arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) that play important roles in plant growth, cellular differentiation, signaling, and microbe interactions. In beneficial plant-microbe interactions, AGPs attract symbiotic fungi or bacteria, promote infectious structure development, and activate plant defense mechanisms. Pathogenic and beneficial fungi and bacteria can produce enzymes to degrade AGs from AGPs, impacting plant-microbe interactions.

Plant Defense Networks against Insect-Borne Pathogens

Jian Ye, Lili Zhang, Xuan Zhang, Xiujuan Wu, Rongxiang Fang

Summary: Plants face dual damage when infected with insect-borne microbial pathogens. Research has shown that many host genes involved in multistress resistance are related to innate immunity and plant hormone signaling, especially jasmonate and salicylic acid. Utilizing genome editing or chemical modulators to fine-tune crop defensive signaling offers potential for sustainable control of insect-borne diseases.

Unrelated Fungal Rust Candidate Effectors Act on Overlapping Plant Functions

Karen Cristine Goncalves dos Santos, Gervais Pelletier, Armand Seguin, Francois Guillemette, Jeffrey Hawkes, Isabel Desgagne-Penix, Hugo Germain

Summary: The study revealed that transgenic plants expressing candidate effectors of poplar rust fungus Mlp caused significant gene and metabolite deregulation. Genes involved in pattern-triggered immunity were down-regulated, and similar effector sequences led to correlated patterns of gene and metabolite deregulation. This highlights the importance of investigating individual effectors rather than generalizing based on sequence similarity when studying plant susceptibility.

Summary: Mildew resistance locus o (MLO) proteins are heptahelical integral membrane proteins and some isoforms act as susceptibility factors for the powdery mildew pathogen. Barley Mlo interacts with intracellular calcium sensor calmodulin (CAM) in a calcium-dependent manner. Mutations in key amino acid residues affect the MLO-CAM association. However, some experiments showed that mutations do not reduce CAM binding to MLO.
