Tomato roots exhibit distinct, development-specific responses to bacterial-derived peptides.

ABSTRACT: Plants possess cell-surface recognition receptors that detect molecular patterns from microbial invaders and initiate an immune response. Understanding the conservation of pattern-triggered immunity within different plant organs and across species is crucial to its sustainable and effective use in plant disease management but is currently unclear.We examined the activation and immune response patterns of three pattern recognition receptors (PRRs: SlFLS2, SlFLS3, and SlCORE) in different developmental regions of roots and in leaves of multiple accessions of domesticated and wild tomato (Solanum lycopersicum and S. pimpinellifolium) using biochemical and genetic assays.Roots from different tomato accessions differed in the amplitude and dynamics of their im
