Question

In effector-triggered resistance, if the plant DOES have an appropriate R protein, which of the following will happen when it comes into contact with a pathogen.

The effector protein will bind to a receptor in the plant cell’s membrane general defense response will be triggered

The effector proteins of the pathogen will not be able to block defense he plant will not become infected

The effector protein will block the plant’s basal resistance, allowing to infect the cell

The effector protein will activate the plant’s defense genes

Answer 1

In effector-triggered resistance, if the plant DOES have an appropriate R protein, the following will happen when it comes into contact with a pathogen.

The effector protein will bind to a receptor in the plant cell’s membrane general defense response will be triggered.

Individual plant cells express receptors that recognise pathogen molecules and then trigger defence responses, which can include cell wall thickening, production of anti-microbial compounds and host cell death
