Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Exogenous hydrogen sulfide enhanced wheat resistance to stripe rust pathogen.
- Observation Proteomics identified TaATG6c as a pathogen-responsive hydrogen sulfide target.
- Method / resource Structural modeling predicted that two site mutations reduced ATG6c binding to ATG14.
- Intervention effect Silencing TaATG6 promoted fungal growth.
- Observation Pst infection induced TaATG6 expression.
- Intervention effect TaATG6 silencing compromised NaHS-mediated resistance.
- Intervention effect Transient TaATG6 overexpression enhanced wheat stripe rust resistance.
- Intervention effect Cys177 and Cys180 mutations attenuated the resistance effect of TaATG6 overexpression.
- Observation TaATG6c persulfidation was pathogen responsive and dynamic.
- Intervention effect The pathogen responsive persulfidation was abolished in the TaATG6 C177A/C180A mutant.
- Intervention effect Hydrogen sulfide treatment and Pst infection stimulated lipidated ATG8 accumulation.
- Intervention effect TaATG6 silencing largely abolished lipidated ATG8 accumulation.
- Mechanism Authors infer hydrogen sulfide promotes autophagy through TaATG6c persulfidation to enhance wheat resistance.
