| Research Abstract |
Toxins and elicitors from plant pathogens appear to be functional as virulence and avirulence factors, respectively. While, both factors have a common role as an inducer for programmed cell death in plant cells. In the project, we showed evidence that cell death in a host plant induced by both host-specific toxins and elicitors leads to the compatible reaction in the infection process of necrotrophic plant pathogen. Both the toxin and the elicitor might act as pathogenicity factors in host-necrotrophic pathogen interactions. In addition, the results indicate that cell death cascades triggered by those factors might be mediated by different signaling pathways induced by each factor.
