Abstract:Various natural compounds as alternative agents for the chemical management of plant diseases have long been proposed. Valinomycin, a Streptomyces-derived cyclic peptide, acts as an antifungal agent against several plant pathogenic fungi, including Botrytis cinerea. Here, we report the novel function of valinomycin, plant immune-boosting. Valinomycin potentiates pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in Arabidopsis, leading to enhanced resistance against bacterial speck disease … Show more
