The Arabidopsis RboHB Encoded by At1g09090 Is Important for Resistance against Nematodes.

ABSTRACT: Reactive oxygen species are a byproduct of aerobic metabolic processes but are also produced by plants in defense against pathogens. In addition, they can function as signaling molecules that control various aspects of plant life, ranging from developmental processes to responses to abiotic and biotic stimuli. In plants, reactive oxygen species can be produced by respiratory burst oxidase homologues. Arabidopsis contains 10 genes for respiratory burst oxidase homologues that are involved in different aspects of plant life. Plant pathogenic cyst nematodes such as Heterodera schachtii induce a syncytium in the roots of host plants that becomes a feeding site which supplies nutrients throughout the life of the nematode. In line with this function, the transcriptome of the syncytium shows dras
