Arabidopsis thaliana accumulates DHEA after infection with phytopathogenic fungi - effects on plants and fungi

Listed in NCBI GEO

Progestogens and androgens have been found in many plants, but their physiological functions remain unclear.

Description

We here show that the dehydroepiandrosterone, a C19-steroid, accumulates during infection of A. thaliana with the pathogenic fungus A. brassicicola. Moreover, dehydroepiandrosterone inhibits growth of the A. brassicicola in an ergosterol-independent way.

We hypothesize that this is caused by an infection-adapted metabolism of A. thaliana as part of stress-response.
