Article Abstract
Phytocytokines mediate defense against pests and pathogens. Many methods have been developed to study the physiological responses triggered by phytocytokines in dicot plants. Here, we describe a detailed peptide feeding protocol to study the effect of phytocytokines on direct and indirect anti-herbivore defense in maize. This method relies on peptide uptake by the excised maize seedling or leaves via the transpiration stream. The headspace volatiles from plant samples are then analyzed by proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS), or by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The samples can also be further processed to evaluate phytocytokine-induced defense gene expression or phytohormone production.

Plant peptide hormones play essential roles in various physiological processes, including activating defence responses to biotic stress. Membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) typically detect peptide hormones to initiate signalling pathways. Through comprehensive peptide-receptor matching, we identified 63 peptide-receptor pairs in soybeans.

Phytocytokines regulate plant immunity by cooperating with cell-surface proteins. Populus trichocarpa RUST INDUCED SECRETED PEPTIDE 1 (PtRISP1) exhibits an elicitor activity in poplar, as well as a direct antimicrobial activity against rust fungi. PtRISP1 gene directly clusters with a gene encoding a leucine-rich repeat receptor protein (LRR-RP), that we termed RISP-ASSOCIATED LRR-RP (PtRALR).

Plant defence peptides are paramount endogenous danger signals secreted after a challenge, intensifying the plant immune response. The peptidic hormone Systemin (Sys) was shown to participate in resistance in several plant pathosystems, although the mechanisms behind Sys-induced resistance when exogenously applied remain elusive. We performed proteomic, metabolomic, and enzymatic studies to decipher the Sys-induced changes in tomato plants in either the absence or the presence of Botrytis cinerea infection.

The study of immunomodulatory peptides, both of exogenous and endogenous origin, attracted increasing attention over the last years. Numerous methods are widely used to study the sensitivity of plants to peptide elicitation, ranging from measuring early to late induced responses. Seedling growth inhibition is a prominent and easy-to-measure output induced by prolonged peptide treatment.
