Plants have evolved mechanisms to attract beneficial microbes and insects while protecting themselves against pathogenic microbes and pests. In Arabidopsis, the immune regulator PAD4 functions with its cognate partner EDS1 to limit pathogen growth. PAD4, independently of EDS1, reduces infestation by Green Peach Aphid (GPA). How PAD4 regulates these defense outputs is unclear. By expressing the N-terminal PAD4-lipase-like domain (LLD) without its C-terminal EDS1-PAD4 (EP) domain, we interrogated PAD4 functions in plant defense. Here we show that transgenic expression of PAD4LLD in Arabidopsis is sufficient for limiting GPA infestation, but not for conferring basal and effector-triggered pathogen immunity. This suggests that the C-terminal PAD4-EP domain is necessary for EDS1-dependent immune functions. Moreover, PAD4LLD is not sufficient to interact with EDS1, indicating the PAD4-EP domain is required for heterodimerisation. These data provide molecular evidence that PAD4 has domain specific functions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
