Molecular Biology Tools> | For the transiently-expressed proteins in N. benthamiana, total protein was extracted from Agroinfiltrated leaves, 5-10 μg was run on SDS-PAGE, blotted on PVDF membrane, and detected with anti-Myc antibodies (Genscript, #A00704 www.genscript.com) and ECL Plus chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, www.thermofisher.com) as described in (Roberts et al., 2019a). | Get A Quote |
Plants mount defense responses by recognizing indications of pathogen invasion, including microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). Flagellin from the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) contains two MAMPs, flg22 and flgII-28, that are recognized by tomato receptors Flagellin sensing 2 (Fls2) and Flagellin sensing 3 (Fls3), respectively. It is unknown to what degree each receptor contributes to immunity and if they promote immune responses using the same molecular mechanisms. Characterization of CRISPR/Cas9-generated Fls2 and Fls3 tomato mutants revealed that the two receptors contribute equally to disease resistance both on the leaf surface and in the apoplast. However, striking... More
