Abstract

The article presents modern ideas about the molecular mechanisms of innate plant immunity. Membrane patternrecognition receptors that are triggered in a nonspecific immune response are characterized and all subsequent responses are triggered, as well as cytoplasmic specific receptors – resistance proteins (R-proteins) triggering the specific immune response. The main pathways of receptor signals transduction providing realization of immune response in a plant cell with the participation of phytohormones, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), transcription factors (TF) eventually leading to the development of resistance-related metabolites (RRM) and proteins (RRP), which directly suppress the development of pathogens, are presented.
