| Summary: | Covering: up to April 2012
In plants, successful defense relies on fast and specific response to biotic attack. In plant-microbial and plant-plant interactions several elicitors, effectors and modulators are recognized by specific and unspecific receptors that trigger signal cascades eventually leading to gene expression and plant responses. Here we review the chemical nature and signaling pathways of natural products released by microorganisms, herbivores, and plants during pathogenic infections, herbivory, symbioses and allelopathic interactions.
This review summarizes the functional role of natural elicitors, effectors and modulators of plant responses to biotic stress. |

| Bibliography: | Massimo Maffei is Professor of Plant Physiology, Dept. Life Sciences, at the University of Turin, Italy. His research activity is focussed on plant interactions with the surrounding biotic and abiotic environment, with particular reference to signal transduction pathways, gene expression and metabolomics. He has been the Coordinator of the Ministerial Centre of Excellence for Biosensing, Head of Department of Plant Biology and Deputy Dean of Faculty of Sciences. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the international Journal of Plant Interactions (Taylor&Francis, London) and member of the advisory board of the Journal of Essential Oil Research. He is a reviewer for several international journals dealing with Plant Physiology, Phytochemistry, Natural Products Chemistry and Plant Biology. Axel Mithöfer is heading the project group 'Plant Defense Physiology' at the Bioorganic Chemistry Department of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany. He is also Associate Professor at the Friedrich Schiller University, Faculty of Biology and Pharmacy, in Jena. His research interests are in the field of interactions of plants with other organisms, microbes as well as herbivores His main focus lies on signal perception, signal transduction, and defense responses. In addition, a second field of interest is the biology of the carnivorous syndrome in plants. He is editor for Journal of Plant Growth Regulation and reviewer for several international journals. Gen-Ichiro Arimura received his Ph.D. in Science at Hiroshima University. He started his career in 1998 at Kyoto University, working in the field of molecular ecology of plant-insect and plant-plant communications mediated by herbivore-induced plant volatiles. Sponsored by a fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), he spent 2 years (2002-2004) at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, working on terpene biosynthesis. From 2004, he pursued his interest in the regulation of terpene biosynthesis at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena, Germany. He has worked mainly on molecular and chemical ecology of plant-insect interactions since joining the faculty at Kyoto University in 2008.
