2013 journal article

Overexpression of mannitol dehydrogenase in zonal geranium confers increased resistance to the mannitol secreting fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea

Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, 115(3), 367–375.

By: J. Williamson n, A. Desai n, S. Krasnyanski n, F. Ding  n, W. Guo n, T. Nguyen n, H. Olson n, J. Dole n, G. Allen n

TL;DR: The results are an important validation of previous work, and support the idea that MTD-overexpression might be used to engineer a broad variety of plants for resistance to mannitol-secreting fungal pathogens like B. cinerea for which specific resistance is lacking. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: Protein secretion; Mannitol metabolism; Plant-pathogen interaction; Extracellular space; Apoplast
MeSH headings : Antifungal Agents / pharmacology; Brefeldin A / pharmacology; Cell Wall / drug effects; Cell Wall / metabolism; Cells, Cultured; Cytoplasm / metabolism; Fungi / growth & development; Fungi / metabolism; Golgi Apparatus / drug effects; Golgi Apparatus / metabolism; Golgi Apparatus / ultrastructure; Immunity, Innate / genetics; Immunoblotting; Mannitol / metabolism; Mannitol Dehydrogenases / genetics; Mannitol Dehydrogenases / metabolism; Microscopy, Immunoelectron; Plant Diseases / genetics; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Plant Leaves / genetics; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Plant Leaves / ultrastructure; Plant Proteins / genetics; Plant Proteins / metabolism; Plants, Genetically Modified; Protein Transport / drug effects; Salicylic Acid / pharmacology; Tobacco / cytology; Tobacco / genetics; Tobacco / metabolism
TL;DR: Immunoelectron microscopy, immunoblot, and biochemical data reported here show that the normally symplastic plant enzyme, mannitol dehydrogenase (MTD), is secreted into the apoplast after treatment with the endogenous inducer of plant defense responses salicylic acid (SA).

PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 47(5), 621–631.

By: E. Zamski n, W. Guo*, Y. Yamamoto n, D. Pharr* & J. Williamson*

author keywords: carbohydrate translocation and regulation; gene regulation; mannitol metabolism; plant-pathogen interaction; salt and osmotic stress
MeSH headings : 3-O-Methylglucose / pharmacology; Abscisic Acid / pharmacology; Acetates / pharmacology; Apium / enzymology; Apium / genetics; Arabidopsis / cytology; Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis / metabolism; Cell Division / drug effects; Cyclopentanes / pharmacology; Deoxyglucose / pharmacology; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Gene Expression Regulation / drug effects; Glucose / pharmacology; Green Fluorescent Proteins; Luminescent Proteins / genetics; Luminescent Proteins / metabolism; Mannitol / pharmacology; Mannitol Dehydrogenases / genetics; Oxylipins; Plants / drug effects; Plants / enzymology; Plants / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / cytology; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Promoter Regions, Genetic / genetics; Recombinant Fusion Proteins / genetics; Recombinant Fusion Proteins / metabolism; Salicylic Acid / pharmacology; Sodium Chloride / pharmacology
TL;DR: The massive up-regulation of Mtd expression in the vascular tissues of salt-stressed Arabidopsis roots suggests a possible role for MTD in mannitol translocation and unloading and its interrelation with sugar metabolism. (via Semantic Scholar)
