· This condition reflects the specialized transport of different antimicrobial proteins, regulatory
polypeptides, cell wall components, and other defense-related cargo.
· SNARE homologues are involved in vesicle-mediated resistance to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp.
tritici).
· Besides the extrusion of phytoalexins, the exocytosis of an array of defense-associated polypeptides,
the so called pathogenesis-related proteins, into the apoplastic space is a common response to
microbial attack that has been observed in numerous pathosystems.
· In plant-pathogen interaction, an earlier study showed that the t-SNARE is necessary for endocytosis
during the initial stage of development of plant-pathogenic corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis,
underlying the importance of SNAREs for both partners of plant-microbe interaction.
· In spite of the well understood role of secreted antimicrobial
