Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: PROPEP1, PROPEP 2, and PROPEP3 genes appear to have roles in a feedback loop that amplifies defense signaling pathways initiated by pathogens. We present evidence to support the role of peptides derived from PROPEP genes as endogenous elicitors that are generated in response to pathogens. The prevalence of plant elicitor peptides across wide ranging plant families and functional conservation indicates that they are an ancient class of signals regulating numerous suites of defense responses. These cDNA and genomic DNA sequences from Gold Queen and Mo17 leaf were submitted to the NCBI database and the assigned accession numbers were KR606067, KR606070, KR606068, KR606069 for GQPepR1promt, GQPepR2promt and MoPepR1 respectively.
