Oligosaccharide elicitors in plant immunity: Molecular mechanisms and disease resistance strategies.

ABSTRACT: The recognition of oligosaccharide elicitors, which originate from both pathogens and hosts, by membrane-localized receptors is of fundamental importance for triggering host immunity and disease resistance. It is therefore a topic of utmost significance for agricultural and botanical research. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of our current understanding of the types of oligosaccharide elicitors. We explore their diverse immunological functions, aiming to uncover the underlying mechanisms. We then detail the known recognition receptors for these oligosaccharide elicitors and describe the immune signaling pathways in which they participate. We outline the counter-defense strategies used by pathogens in response to oligosaccharide-induced immunity, offering insight into the comp
