A working model for the molecular mechanism underlying tomato resistance to Cuscuta australis. After C. australis haustorial penetration of tomato stem, C. australis derived molecular pattern is perceived by an unknown receptor in tomato, leading to accumulation of the phytohormones JA and SA. JA and SA signaling pathway transcriptionally regulate CuRe1 gene, which encode a cell surface leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein. CuRe1 interacts with SOBIR1 or SOBIR1-like, two adaptor kinases, and thus regulates hypersensitive response (HR)-based and non-HR-based resistance to C. australis.
