The coordinated responses of host plants to diverse N-acyl homoserine lactones

In nature, co-evolution shaped balanced entities of host plants and their associated microorganism. Plants maintain this balance by detecting their associated microorganism and coordinating responses to them.

description In nature, co-evolution shaped balanced entities of host plants and their associated microorganism. Plants maintain this balance by detecting their associated microorganism and coordinating responses to them. Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread bacterial cell-to-cell communication mechanism to modulate the collective behavior of bacteria. As a well-characterized QS signal, N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) also influence plant fitness. Plants need to coordinate their responses to diverse AHL molecules since they might host bacteria producing various AHL. This opinion paper discusses plants response to a mixture of multiple AHL molecules. The function of various phytohormones and WRKY transcription factors seems to be characteristic for plants’ response to multiple AHL. Additionally, the perspectives and possible approaches to facilitate further research and the application of AHL-producing bacteria are discussed.
