The plant cell wall is a physical barrier against pathogens and its modification is often associated to changes in plant defence responses. Pectin is responsible for mechanical properties of the wall such as porosity, adhesion and rigidity and is the substrate of pectin-degrading enzymes such as polygalacturonases and pectin methylesterases (PMEs). The action of these enzymes is prerequisite for subsequent cell wall degradation by other polysaccharide degrading enzymes. Pectin is secreted into the wall in a highly methylesterified form and subsequently de-esterified in muro by PME. The level and pattern of pectin methylesterification play a role in constitutive resistance to fungal and bacterial pathogens influencing the susceptibility of t...
