Study Notes
Host Pathogen Interaction
- Host cells are penetrated by pathogen branches called haustoria
- These haustoria absorb nutrients and supply them to the pathogen
- Pathogens establish themselves by destroying or utilizing host resources
Role of Enzymes, Toxins, & Growth Regulators in Pathogenesis
- Pathogen establishment involves two processes:
- Destruction of host cells/tissues
- Nutritional relationship
- Pathogen interactions with host tissues occur at various stages
- Pathogens release enzymes, toxins, and growth regulators that cause disturbances in host tissues
- These products are of three types: enzymes, toxins, growth regulators
Role of Enzymes
- Infection success involves entry and establishment of pathogens
- Plant defenses, like cuticle and wax, must be overcome
- Pathogens have enzymes that degrade these protective layers
- Enzymes degrade cell wall components, allowing entry
Role of Toxins
- Toxins are chemical substances harmful to the host even in low concentrations
- They are antigenic and can easily reach subcellular levels
- They disrupt host cell membranes and nutrient uptake.
Role of Growth Regulators
- Growth regulators (e.g., auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins), often produced by the host, affect growth
- Pathogens modify growth hormone levels, disrupting plant growth patterns.
- This can manifest as various abnormalities like leaf curls or galls.
Plant Pathogen Components and Enzymes
- No enzyme breaks down plant waxes but plant pathogens degrade cutin and pectin.
- Cellulose, a key cell wall component, is degraded by cellulose enzymes
- Hemicellulose is degraded by hemicellulases
- Some pathogens produce toxins affecting plant tissues.
