Cambial meristematic cells (CMCs) are innately undifferentiated cells located in the meristems of plant with function as a stem cell to renew itself or replace specialized tissues. Another interesting feature of plant stem cells is controlling the plant defense in response to various stresses. Several groups have studied for stem cell triggered immunity signaling however, the molecular basis of the stem cell triggered immunity remains unclear. We previously obtained deferentially expressed 563 stem cell specific gene profiles from transcriptome analysis between two different cell types, CMC and dedifferentiated dells (DDCs) of yew tree (Taxuscuspidate). In a line of comparative genomics approach, we have selected 30 Arabidopsis homologous immune regulator candidate genes that showed significantly enriched GO terms ; at “response to stress” and “defense response”. We obtained one of homologous knock-out (KO) Arabidopsis mutant line on the locus At1G71110 whose cognate yew homologous gene showed predominantly expressed in CMCs compared to DDCs (20 times higher). For the assessment of basal disease resistance KO mutant plants were inoculated with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000 and counted pathogen isolated from inoculated leaves. Interestingly, the KO mutant plants were not compromised in basal disease resistant, however, the hypersensitive response was significantly enhanced in the mutant compared to wild type in response to PstavrB, suggesting R-gene mediated defense response involved. We also investigated there sponse to the small reactive redox molecules such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that associated significantly in plant immune response. Notably the KO mutant plants exhibited hypersensitivity specifically under nitrosative stress condition derived by S-nitrosiglutathione (GSNO), anitrioxide (NO) donor. Taken all together, putative endomembrane components At1G71110 may play a pivotal role in R gene mediated plant immune system. To further investigate its role(s) and molecular signaling network various defense gene expression profiles and functional genomics approach are ongoing for the long term aim of muti-stress tolerant crop development
