Plasma membrane lipids at plant-pathogen interfaces: Regulators of immunity and susceptibility.
PubMed · 2026-03-21
A new review reveals that the thin outer membrane of plant cells acts as a dynamic command center during pathogen attacks, with fats (lipids) in that membrane rapidly rearranging to activate defenses — and pathogens actively trying to hijack this system to get inside.
1
Plasma membrane lipid composition is dynamically remodeled within minutes during pathogen attack, enabling rapid and localized immune activation.
2
Multi-layered regulatory mechanisms control lipid composition at the plant cell surface, determining whether a plant resists or succumbs to infection.
3
Pathogens actively manipulate host plasma membrane lipids and structure to suppress defenses and facilitate colonization.
