Crustins are crucial antimicrobial peptides in shrimp and play very important roles in innate immunity. In this research, a Type I crustin from Penaeus monodon (CarcininPm1) contained 108 residues was studied. The first 16 residues are signal peptide. It contained ten cysteines but did not form an intact whey acidic protein (WAP) domain. CarcininPm1 was observed to widely distribute in all tissues, while highly expressed in intestine. The expression level of CarcininPm1 in hepatopancreas was up-regulated 12- 20 times during 4-12h post challenged by Vibrio parahaemolyticus. And the transcription in heart, stomach and gills was also significantly enhanced at 4h post challenge. The mature peptide was expressed successfully in Eschericha coli by fusing to a SUMO protein, with protein production around 8 mg/mL. After cleavage with SUMO protease, carcininPm1 was obtained indicating its potential applications.

Microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP)-triggered immunity (MTI) is an important component of the plant innate immunity response to invading pathogens. Although several MTI responses can be measured in different plant species, their magnitude is probably plant species specific and even cultivar specific. In this study, a genome-wide transcriptome analysis of two soybean parental lines and two progeny lines treated for 30 min with the MAMPs flg22 and chitin was carried out. This analysis revealed a clear variation in gene expression, under both untreated and flg22+chitin-treated conditions. In addition, genes with potential additive and non-additive effects were identified in the two progeny lines, with several of these genes having a potential function in the control of innate immunity. The data presented herein represent the basis for further functional analysis that can lead to a better understanding of the soybean innate immunity response.
