Plant defences against pests
STRUCTURAL DEFENCES:
(1) Trichomes, thorns, cuticles, waxes, cell walls,…
DIRECT DEFENCES:
(2) Toxic, deterrents and antimetabolic compounds
INDIRECT DEFENCES:
(3) Induced volatiles to attract parasitoids and
natural enemies
(4) Interplant priming: induced volatiles to prime
defence in neighbouring plants

Direct and indirect
defences defences
- Specific alterations and physical damage produced by the pest (DAMPs: Damage-Associated
Molecular Patterns) are perceived by plants.
- Arthropod fluids contain bioactive compounds known as HAEs (Herbivore-Associated Elicitors or
effectors) or HAMPS (Herbivore-Associated Molecular Patterns) that trigger inducible defence
responses known as HTI (HAMP-Triggered Immunity).
QUESTIONS:
Can plants distinguish between pest feeding, oviposition and mechanical damage?
Can plants differentiate chewing, snipping, tearing and piercing-sucking arthropods?
masticador cortador rasgador perforador chupador
Can plants discriminate between phloem- and mesophyll cell-sucking arthropods?
YES ¡¡¡
Plants detect the first insect contact (touch, pressure, landing, walking, wounding,...)
Plants evaluate the quality and quantity of damage tissue and differentially recognize
compounds in arthropod oral secretions and oviposition fluids
Plants distinguish special patterns of feeding: place and type of feeding, arthropod
behaviour (many herbivore remove similarly sized pieces of tissues in a highly
choreographed and predictable manner, or repetitive wound before feeding,...), etc.

EFFECTOR: is a molecule that selectively can either trigger or compromise plant inmunity
by binding to other molecules and altering the defense machinery.

Elicitors and Effectors
Elicitors or effectors?
- FACs (Fatty acid-Amonia acid Conjugates) derived from plant membranes conjugated with
amino acids from arthropod.
- Volicitins, N-(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)-L-glutamine)
elicitors of
defence responses
12,744 unique transcripts identified, 430 and 117 were differentially up- or down regulated 30 min after
FAC elicitation compared with wounding.
A large percentage (25%) encoded putative regulatory components, including 30 TFs and 22 PK

PEPTIDES
(plant side)
INCEPTINS
- Proteolytic products of plant chloroplastic ATP synthase γ-subunit (cATPC)
- Derived from the regulatory domain of the cATP of legumes
- Ingested cATPC is cleaved in insect midguts, partially digested and form inceptins
SYSTEMINS
- Peptides (18 aas) derived from prosystemin (200 aas)
- Prosystemin accumulates in the cytosol of vascular
phloem of solanaceae
- Wounding/herbivore induced prosystemin processing
