Plants with innate disease and pest resistance can contribute to more sustainable agriculture. Plant breeders typically focus on immune receptors or impaired susceptibility genes to develop resistant crops, but these can present challenges in terms of strength, durability or pleotropic effects. Although natural defence compounds produced by plants have the potential to provide a general protective effect against pathogens and pests, they are not a primary target in resistance breeding. The precise contribution of defence metabolites to plant immunity is often unclear and the genetics underlying their biosynthesis is complex. Here, we identified a wild relative of potato, Solanum commersonii , that provides us with unique insight in the role of glycoalkaloids in plant immunity. We cloned two atypical resistance genes that can provide complete resistance to Alternaria solani and Colorado potato beetle through the production of tetraose steroidal glycoalkaloids. Moreover, we show that these compounds are active against a wide variety of fungi. This research provides a direct link between specific modifications to steroidal glycoalkaloids of potato and resistance against diseases and pests. Further research on the biosynthesis of plant defence compounds in different tissues, their toxicity, and the mechanisms for detoxification, can aid the effective use of such compounds to improve sustainability of our food production. |
