“…In addition to be a selective barrier between the cell and the extracellular medium, the plasma membrane is a sensor for modification of cellular environment and plays thus a key role in the recognition process of bioactive molecules. While many danger signals or invasion patterns are recognized by specific pattern recognition receptors within PPM (Pršić and Ongena, 2020;Schellenberger et al, 2019), some amphiphilic elicitors, like surfactin from Bacillus and rhamnolipids from Pseudomonas , have been strongly suggested to be perceived by the lipid fraction of PPM (Gerbeau-Pissot et al, 2014;Henry et al, 2011;Luzuriaga-Loaiza et al, 2018;Monnier et al, 2018). Recognition of elicitors by the plant cells first triggers early defence responses among which the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (superoxide anion (O 2 * ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and hydroxyl radical ( * OH)), also known as the oxidative burst (Camejo et al, 2019;Mittler, 2017;Wang et al, 2019;Zaid and Wani, 2019).…”
