The present data profile the large scale transcriptome changes in Col-0 seedlings exposed to mono-rhamnolipids (Mono-RLs) from secretome. Bacterial rhamnolipids (RLs) are biosurfactant known to trigger plant defense mechanisms and have a great potential for crop culture protection as environmental-friendly biocontrol solution. They are thought to interact directly with membrane lipids to induce plant defense gene expression and protection towards phytopathogens.

In particular, the fungal pathogen , the causal agent of blackleg disease (also named Phoma stem canker), is a worldwide issue to this crop. Considering environmental concerns, it is essential to propose alternative natural compounds for rapeseed crop protection to reduce chemical fungicide use.

Their mode of action has been proposed as dual, combining plant protection activation and antifungal activities. The present work focuses on the interaction of natural RLs with plant and fungi membrane models at the molecular scale.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRhamnolipids (RLs) are amphiphilic molecules naturally produced by some bacteria with a large range of biological activities. Although some studies report their potential interest in plant protection, evaluation of their effects and efficiency on annual crops of worldwide agronomic interest is lacking. The main objective of this work was to investigate their elicitor and protective activities on rapeseed crop species while evaluating their physiological effects.
