Many phytopathogens secrete cell wall degradation enzymes (CWDEs) to damage host cells and facilitate colonization. As the major components of the plant cell wall, cellulose and hemicellulose are the targets of CWDEs. Damaged plant cells often release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to trigger plant immune responses. Here, we establish that the fungal pathogen  Magnaporthe oryzae  secretes the endoglucanases MoCel12A and MoCel12B during infection of rice ( Oryza sativa ). These endoglucanases target hemicellulose of the rice cell wall and release two specific oligosaccharides, namely the trisaccharide 3 1 -β-D-Cellobiosyl-glucose and the tetrasaccharide 3 1 -β-D-Cellotriosyl-glucose. 3 1 -β-D-Cellobiosyl-glucose and 3 1 -β-D-Cellotriosyl-glucose bind the immune receptor OsCERK1 but not the chitin binding protein OsCEBiP. However, they induce the dimerization of OsCERK1 and OsCEBiP. In addition, these Poaceae cell wall-specific oligosaccharides trigger a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that is largely compromised in  oscerk1  and  oscebip  mutants. We conclude that 3 1 -β-D-Cellobiosyl-glucose and 3 1 -β-D-Cellotriosyl-glucose are specific DAMPs released from the hemicellulose of rice cell wall, which are perceived by an OsCERK1 and OsCEBiP immune complex during  M. oryzae  infection in rice.

Poaceae-specific cell wall-derived oligosaccharides activate plant immunity via OsCERK1 during Magnaporthe oryzae infection in rice
