| 總結: | Enhanced disease resistance and plant defense response against pathogen attack and
environmental stresses have always been important targets of plant biotechnology. The
activation of the defense response requires the recognition of an elicitor and the
subsequent initiation of a signal transduction pathway, which then leads to the activation
of defense genes and the production of phytoalexins. Plants respond to pathogen attack
and environmental stimuli by activating a wide variety of defense reactions including
transcriptional activation of genes involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis,
accumulation of antimicrobial phytoalexins, and ethylene production.
Phenylpropanoid metabolism is a plant specific pathway that leads to the production of
secondary metabolites including isoflavonoid phytoalexins, lignin, flavonoid pigments
and UV protectants such as furanocoumarin. Here, we report the isolation of several
,
different clones that are involved in the plant defense response by screening of oil palm
zygotic embryo and suspension culture cDNA libraries.These clones include phenylalanine ammonia- lyase (PAL) (4-4A, II F I and 12B1), S-adenosylmethionine
synthetase I (Adomet synthetase I) (11 AI), peroxidase (7 A2), chitinase III (4A3),
calmodulin (3E2), and beta-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS) (3G 1). |
