The major bacterial M/D/PAMPs (Peps, PGNs, and OGs) were recognized by different PRRs (BrBKK1/SERK4-PEPR1, BrLYM1-BrCERK1, and BrWAKs) to activate immune responses. MAPK activation is an important component of PTI signaling. Two major WRKY transcription factors (WRKY25 and WRKY33) are also targets of MAPK phosphorylation, which regulates PR protein activity. JA, ET, and SA were induced to accumulate transduction signals, and auxins were affected as some negative signals. Glucosinolate and lignin, as secondary metabolites, were synthesized and had functional roles in defense against Pcc
