Flagellin 22 (flg22)（Cat No.:I020163）is a 22-amino-acid peptide derived from the N-terminal region of bacterial flagellin, recognized as a potent elicitor of plant immune responses. In plants like Arabidopsis thaliana, flg22 binds to the pattern recognition receptor FLS2, initiating defense mechanisms against bacterial pathogens. This interaction triggers a cascade of immune responses, including the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), enhancing the plant’s ability to resist infections. The study of flg22 is crucial for understanding plant-microbe interactions and developing disease-resistant crops.
