报告题目：永无止境的传说：从病原菌效应蛋白到水杨酸受体介导的免疫调控

报告摘要：

植物和病原菌在协同进化过程中，长期处于复杂的“军备竞赛”。植物利用不同免疫受体和抗病蛋白识别并激发一系列不同强度的免疫防御反应，病原菌分泌多种毒性蛋白操纵或攻击宿主靶标以利于其侵染和增殖。通过研究细菌三型效应蛋白对宿主细胞水杨酸受体介导的免疫调节作用，揭示病原菌致病新机制以及植物免疫共激活因子复合体调控免疫的新通路，为培育广谱持久高抗作物、开发绿色农药以及预防人类疾病提供新型靶标和种质资源。

TITLE： 

A Never-Ending Saga: From Bacterial Pathogen Effectors to the Master Immune Coactivators to Boost Plant Immunity

ABSTRACT：

To recognize non-self and defense against pathogen infection, plants and animals rely on a consecutive and multi-layered innate immune system governed by integration of multiple cell-face and intracellular immune receptors. During host-pathogen coevolution, phytopathogenic bacteria suppress diverse plant immune systems and promote pathogenesis by injecting proteins called type III effectors into plant cells using a type III protein secretion. Based on the identification and functional study of a bacterial type III effector AvrPtoB that targets the salicylic acid (SA) receptor, we have found a novel strategy by the pathogen to promote pathogenesis and revealed the underlying mechanisms utilized by SA-activated transcriptional coactivators to boost plant immunity. This emerging discovery will help in identifying germplasm resources involved in the cultivation of broad-spectrum, durable and highly resistance crops, the development of environmentally friendly pesticides, and the prevention of human disease.
