Degradation of Plant Cell Walls and Membranes by Microbial Enzymes

  • Chapter
Physiological Plant Pathology

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 4))

Abstract

One characteristic feature of many phytopathogenic organisms is their ability to produce an array of enzymes capable of degrading the complex polysaccharides of the plant cell wall (Bateman and Millar, 1966; Wood, 1967; Albersheim et al., 1969; Wood, 1973) and membrane constituents (Porter, 1966; Tseng and Bateman, 1968). These enzymes usually are produced inductively. Generally, they are extracellular, highly stable and present in infected host tissues. In most plant diseases caused by microbial agents, cell walls are penetrated, tissues are colonized, and permeability of host cells is altered. A brief summary of our understanding of cell wall and membrane structure, coupled with knowledge of the enzymes capable of degrading the components of these structures, and an analysis of the association of these enzymes with diseased tissue, should enable us to make an appraisal of their involvement in pathogenesis and point the way to an objective consideration of this area of disease physiology.
