Abstract

Highly conserved mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades regulate numerous plant processes, including hormonal responses, stress, and innate immunity. In this research,TaMAPK4was predicted to be a target of tae-miR164. We verified the binding and suppression ofTaMAPK4by co-expression inNicotiana benthamiana. Moreover, we foundTaMAPK4was localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus using transient expression analyses.TaMAPK4transcripts increased following salicylic acid (SA) treatment and when host plants were infected with an avirulent race of the stripe-rust pathogen. Silencing ofTaMAPK4by virus-induced gene silencing permitted increased colonization by the avirulent pathogen race. Detailed histological results showed increasedPuccinia striiformis(Pst) hyphal length, hyphal branches, and infection uredinial size compared to the non-silenced control. SA accumulation and the transcript levels ofTaPR1, TaPR2, andTaPR5were significantly down-regulated inTaMAPK4knockdown plants. Overall, these results suggest thatTaMAPK4plays an important role in signaling during the wheat-Pstinteraction. These results present new insights into MAPK signaling in wheat defense to rust pathogen.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 March 2018.
All research outputs
#18,590,133
of 23,026,672 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#14,015
of 20,560 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#356,264
of 474,300 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#372
of 468 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,026,672 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,560 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 474,300 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 468 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
