Necrotrophic and biotrophic pathogens are resisted by different plant defenses. While necrotrophic pathogens are sensitive to jasmonic acid (JA)-dependent resistance, biotrophic pathogens are resisted by salicylic acid (SA)- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent resistance. Although many pathogens switch from biotrophy to necrotrophy during infection, little is known about the signals triggering this transition. This study is based on the observation that the early colonization pattern and symptom development by the ascomycete pathogen Plectosphaerella cucumerina (P. cucumerina) vary between inoculation methods. Using the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) defense response as a proxy for infection strategy, we examined whether P. cucumerina alternates between hemibiotrophic and necrotrophic lifestyles, depending on initial spore density and distribution on the leaf surface. Untargeted metabolome analysis revealed profound differences in metabolic defense signatures upon different inoculation methods. Quantification of JA and SA, marker gene expression, and cell death confirmed that infection from high spore densities activates JA-dependent defenses with excessive cell death, while infection from low spore densities induces SA-dependent defenses with lower levels of cell death. Phenotyping of Arabidopsis mutants in JA, SA, and ROS signaling confirmed that P. cucumerina is differentially resisted by JA- and SA/ROS-dependent defenses, depending on initial spore density and distribution on the leaf. Furthermore, in situ staining for early callose deposition at the infection sites revealed that necrotrophy by P. cucumerina is associated with elevated host defense. We conclude that P. cucumerina adapts to early-acting plant defenses by switching from a hemibiotrophic to a necrotrophic infection program, thereby gaining an advantage of immunity-related cell death in the host.Plant pathogens are often classified as necrotrophic or biotrophic, depending on their infection strategy (Glazebrook, 2005; Nishimura and Dangl, 2010). Necrotrophic pathogens kill living host cells and use the decayed plant tissue as a substrate to colonize the plant, whereas biotrophic pathogens parasitize living plant cells by employing effector molecules that suppress the host immune system (Pel and Pieterse, 2013). Despite this binary classification, the majority of pathogenic microbes employ a hemibiotrophic infection strategy, which is characterized by an initial biotrophic phase followed by a necrotrophic infection strategy at later stages of infection (Perfect and Green, 2001). The pathogenic fungi Magnaporthe grisea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Mycosphaerella graminicola, the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, and the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae are examples of hemibiotrophic plant pathogens (Perfect and Green, 2001; Koeck et al., 2011; van Kan et al., 2014; Kabbage et al., 2015).Despite considerable progress in our understanding of plant resistance to necrotrophic and biotrophic pathogens (Glazebrook, 2005; Mengiste, 2012; Lai and Mengiste, 2013), recent debate highlights the dynamic and complex interplay between plant-pathogenic microbes and their hosts, which is raising concerns about the use of infection strategies as a static tool to classify plant pathogens. For instance, the fungal genus Botrytis is often labeled as an archetypal necrotroph, even though there is evidence that it can behave as an endophytic fungus with a biotrophic lifestyle (van Kan et al., 2014). The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, which is often classified as a hemibiotrophic leaf pathogen (Perfect and Green, 2001; Koeck et al., 2011), can adopt a purely biotrophic lifestyle when infecting root tissues (Marcel et al., 2010). It remains unclear which signals are responsible for the switch from biotrophy to necrotrophy and whether these signals rely solely on the physiological state of the pathogen, or whether host-derived signals play a role as well (Kabbage et al., 2015).The plant hormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) play a central role in the activation of plant defenses (Glazebrook, 2005; Pieterse et al., 2009, 2012). The first evidence that biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens are resisted by different immune responses came from Thomma et al. (1998), who demonstrated that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genotypes impaired in SA signaling show enhanced susceptibility to the biotrophic pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (formerly known as Peronospora parastitica), while JA-insensitive genotypes were more susceptible to the necrotrophic fungus Alternaria brassicicola. In subsequent years, the differential effectiveness of SA- and JA-dependent defense mechanisms has been confirmed in different plant-pathogen interactions, while additional plant hormones, such as ethylene, abscisic acid (ABA), auxins, and cytokinins, have emerged as regulators of SA- and JA-dependent defenses (Bari and Jones, 2009; Cao et al., 2011; Pieterse et al., 2012). Moreover, SA- and JA-dependent defense pathways have been shown to act antagonistically on each other, which allows plants to prioritize an appropriate defense response to attack by biotrophic pathogens, necrotrophic pathogens, or herbivores (Koornneef and Pieterse, 2008; Pieterse et al., 2009; Verhage et al., 2010).In addition to plant hormones, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important regulatory role in plant defenses (Torres et al., 2006; Lehmann et al., 2015). Within minutes after the perception of pathogen-associated molecular patterns, NADPH oxidases and apoplastic peroxidases generate early ROS bursts (Torres et al., 2002; Daudi et al., 2012; O’Brien et al., 2012), which activate downstream defense signaling cascades (Apel and Hirt, 2004; Torres et al., 2006; Miller et al., 2009; Mittler et al., 2011; Lehmann et al., 2015). ROS play an important regulatory role in the deposition of callose (Luna et al., 2011; Pastor et al., 2013) and can also stimulate SA-dependent defenses (Chaouch et al., 2010; Yun and Chen, 2011; Wang et al., 2014; Mammarella et al., 2015). However, the spread of SA-induced apoptosis during hyperstimulation of the plant immune system is contained by the ROS-generating NADPH oxidase RBOHD (Torres et al., 2005), presumably to allow for the sufficient generation of SA-dependent defense signals from living cells that are adjacent to apoptotic cells. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an additional role in the regulation of SA/ROS-dependent defense (Trapet et al., 2015). This gaseous molecule can stimulate ROS production and cell death in the absence of SA while preventing excessive ROS production at high cellular SA levels via S-nitrosylation of RBOHD (Yun et al., 2011). Recently, it was shown that pathogen-induced accumulation of NO and ROS promotes the production of azelaic acid, a lipid derivative that primes distal plants for SA-dependent defenses (Wang et al., 2014). Hence, NO, ROS, and SA are intertwined in a complex regulatory network to mount local and systemic resistance against biotrophic pathogens. Interestingly, pathogens with a necrotrophic lifestyle can benefit from ROS/SA-dependent defenses and associated cell death (Govrin and Levine, 2000). For instance, Kabbage et al. (2013) demonstrated that S. sclerotiorum utilizes oxalic acid to repress oxidative defense signaling during initial biotrophic colonization, but it stimulates apoptosis at later stages to advance necrotrophic colonization. Moreover, SA-induced repression of JA-dependent resistance not only benefits necrotrophic pathogens but also hemibiotrophic pathogens after having switched from biotrophy to necrotrophy (Glazebrook, 2005; Pieterse et al., 2009, 2012).Plectosphaerella
cucumerina ((P. cucumerina, anamorph Plectosporum tabacinum) anamorph Plectosporum tabacinum) is a filamentous ascomycete fungus that can survive saprophytically in soil by decomposing plant material (Palm et al., 1995). The fungus can cause sudden death and blight disease in a variety of crops (Chen et al., 1999; Harrington et al., 2000). Because P. cucumerina can infect Arabidopsis leaves, the P. cucumerina-Arabidopsis interaction has emerged as a popular model system in which to study plant defense reactions to necrotrophic fungi (Berrocal-Lobo et al., 2002; Ton and Mauch-Mani, 2004; Carlucci et al., 2012; Ramos et al., 2013). Various studies have shown that Arabidopsis deploys a wide range of inducible defense strategies against P. cucumerina, including JA-, SA-, ABA-, and auxin-dependent defenses, glucosinolates (Tierens et al., 2001; Sánchez-Vallet et al., 2010; Gamir et al., 2014; Pastor et al., 2014), callose deposition (García-Andrade et al., 2011; Gamir et al., 2012, 2014; Sánchez-Vallet et al., 2012), and ROS (Tierens et al., 2002; Sánchez-Vallet et al., 2010; Barna et al., 2012; Gamir et al., 2012, 2014; Pastor et al., 2014). Recent metabolomics studies have revealed large-scale metabolic changes in P. cucumerina-infected Arabidopsis, presumably to mobilize chemical defenses (Sánchez-Vallet et al., 2010; Gamir et al., 2014; Pastor et al., 2014). Furthermore, various chemical agents have been reported to induce resistance against P. cucumerina. These chemicals include β-amino-butyric acid, which primes callose deposition and SA-dependent defenses, benzothiadiazole (BTH or Bion; Görlach et al., 1996; Ton and Mauch-Mani, 2004), which activates SA-related defenses (Lawton et al., 1996; Ton and Mauch-Mani, 2004; Gamir et al., 2014; Luna et al., 2014), JA (Ton and Mauch-Mani, 2004), and ABA, which primes ROS and callose deposition (Ton and Mauch-Mani, 2004; Pastor et al., 2013). However, among all these studies, there is increasing controversy about the exact signaling pathways and defense responses contributing to plant resistance against P. cucumerina. While it is clear that JA and ethylene contribute to basal resistance against the fungus, the exact roles of SA, ABA, and ROS in P. cucumerina resistance vary between studies (Thomma et al., 1998; Ton and Mauch-Mani, 2004; Sánchez-Vallet et al., 2012; Gamir et al., 2014).This study is based on the observation that the disease phenotype during P. cucumerina infection differs according to the inoculation method used. We provide evidence that the fungus follows a hemibiotrophic infection strategy when infecting from relatively low spore densities on the leaf surface. By contrast, when challenged by localized host defense to relatively high spore densities, the fungus switches to a necrotrophic infection program. Our study has uncovered a novel strategy by which plant-pathogenic fungi can take advantage of the early immune response in the host plant. 相似文献

Examining the proteins that plants secrete into the apoplast in response to pathogen attack provides crucial information for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant innate immunity. In this study, we analyzed the changes in the root apoplast secretome of the Verticillium wilt-resistant island cotton cv Hai 7124 (Gossypium barbadense) upon infection with Verticillium dahliae. Two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis identified 68 significantly altered spots, corresponding to 49 different proteins. Gene ontology annotation indicated that most of these proteins function in reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism and defense response. Of the ROS-related proteins identified, we further characterized a thioredoxin, GbNRX1, which increased in abundance in response to V. dahliae challenge, finding that GbNRX1 functions in apoplastic ROS scavenging after the ROS burst that occurs upon recognition of V. dahliae. Silencing of GbNRX1 resulted in defective dissipation of apoplastic ROS, which led to higher ROS accumulation in protoplasts. As a result, the GbNRX1-silenced plants showed reduced wilt resistance, indicating that the initial defense response in the root apoplast requires the antioxidant activity of GbNRX1. Together, our results demonstrate that apoplastic ROS generation and scavenging occur in tandem in response to pathogen attack; also, the rapid balancing of redox to maintain homeostasis after the ROS burst, which involves GbNRX1, is critical for the apoplastic immune response.Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the most economically important crops worldwide and a number of pathogens affect the growth and development of cotton plants. The soil-borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae (V. dahliae) causes the destructive vascular disease Verticillium wilt, which results in devastating reductions in plant mass, lint yield, and fiber quality (Bolek et al., 2005; Cai et al., 2009). To date, Verticillium wilt has not been effectively controlled in the most common cultivated cotton species, upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), and cultivars with stably inherited resistance to this disease are currently unavailable (Aguado et al., 2008; Jiang et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2012a). Unlike upland cotton, sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense), which is only cultivated on a small scale, possesses Verticillium wilt resistance. Exploring the molecular mechanisms involved in the defense responses against V. dahliae invasion in G. barbadense can provide useful information for generating wilt-resistant G. hirsutum species through molecular breeding.During the past decades, progress has been made in studying the defense responses against V. dahliae infection in cotton. Global analyses have demonstrated that several signaling pathways, including those mediated by salicylic acid, ethylene, jasmonic acid, and brassinosteroids, activate distinct processes involved in V. dahliae defense (Bari and Jones, 2009; Grant and Jones, 2009; Gao et al., 2013a). Accumulating evidence indicates that many V. dahliae-responsive genes, such as GbWARKY1, GhSSN, GbERF, GhMLP28, GhNDR1, GhMKK2, and GhBAK1 (Qin et al., 2004; Gao et al., 2011, 2013b; Li et al., 2014a; Sun et al., 2014; Yang et al., 2015), play crucial roles in defense against Verticillium wilt. In addition, the biosynthesis of terpenoids, lignin, and gossypol also makes important contributions to V. dahliae resistance in cotton (Tan et al., 2000; Luo et al., 2001; Xu et al., 2011; Gao et al., 2013a). Together, these studies have greatly improved our understanding of the complex innate defense systems against V. dahliae infection in cotton.The initial interaction between plants and pathogens takes place in the apoplast, the compartment of the plant cell outside the cell membrane, including the cell wall and intercellular space (Dietz, 1997). In response to pathogen colonization, the attacked plant cells undergo significant cellular and molecular changes, such as reinforcement of the cell wall and secretion of antimicrobial molecules into the apoplastic space (Bednarek et al., 2010). Thus, the apoplast serves as the first line of defense against microbe invasion, and apoplast immunity can be considered an important component of the plant immune response to pathogens.Upon recognition of pathogen infection, rapid production of reactive oxygen species [the reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst] occurs in the apoplast (Lamb and Dixon, 1997; Torres et al., 2006; Torres, 2010). This ROS burst is regarded as a core component of the early plant immune response (Daudi et al., 2012; Doehlemann and Hemetsberger, 2013). During defense responses, apoplastic ROS can diffuse into the cytoplasm and serve as signals, interacting with other signaling processes such as phosphorylation cascades, calcium signaling, and hormone-mediated pathways (Kovtun et al., 2000; Mou et al., 2003). Apoplastic ROS can also directly strengthen the host cell walls by oxidative cross linking of glycoproteins (Bradley et al., 1992; Lamb and Dixon, 1997) or the precursors of lignin and suberin polymers (Hückelhoven, 2007). Moreover, apoplastic ROS can directly affect pathogens by degrading nucleic acids and peptides from microbes or causing lipid peroxidation and membrane damage in the microbe (Mehdy, 1994; Lamb and Dixon, 1997; Apel and Hirt, 2004; Montillet et al., 2005).ROS levels in the apoplast increase rapidly in response to a variety of pathogens, but subsequently return to basal levels. The rapid production and dissipation of apoplastic ROS indicate that this process is finely regulated. Two classes of enzymes, NADPH oxidases and class III peroxidases, account for the rapid ROS burst in the apoplast (Bolwell et al., 1995; O’Brien et al., 2012). NADPH oxidases are directly phosphorylated by the receptor-like kinase BIK1 to enhance ROS generation (Li et al., 2014b). Also, due to the toxicity of high levels of ROS, plants have evolved enzymatic and nonenzymatic mechanisms to eliminate ROS, thereby preventing or reducing oxidative damage (Rahal et al., 2014; Torres et al., 2006). However, the molecular system responsible for the regulation of apoplastic ROS homeostasis during the immune response is not well understood.In this study, we performed a comparative analysis of the apoplastic proteomes in control roots compared with V. dahliae-inoculated roots of Gossypium barbadense (wilt-resistant sea-island cotton) using the two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) technique. Among the differentially expressed apoplastic proteins, ROS-related proteins were found to be major components, including a thioredoxin, GbNRX1, which functions as an ROS scavenger in response to V. dahliae infection. Knock-down of GbNRX1 expression in cotton by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) resulted in reduced resistance to V. dahliae. Our results demonstrate that maintaining apoplastic ROS homeostasis is a crucial component of the apoplastic immune response and that GbNRX1 is an important regulator of this process. 相似文献

The default growth pattern of primary roots of land plants is directed by gravity. However, roots possess the ability to sense and respond directionally to other chemical and physical stimuli, separately and in combination. Therefore, these root tropic responses must be antagonistic to gravitropism. The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in gravitropism of maize and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) roots has been previously described. However, which cellular signals underlie the integration of the different environmental stimuli, which lead to an appropriate root tropic response, is currently unknown. In gravity-responding roots, we observed, by applying the ROS-sensitive fluorescent dye dihydrorhodamine-123 and confocal microscopy, a transient asymmetric ROS distribution, higher at the concave side of the root. The asymmetry, detected at the distal elongation zone, was built in the first 2 h of the gravitropic response and dissipated after another 2 h. In contrast, hydrotropically responding roots show no transient asymmetric distribution of ROS. Decreasing ROS levels by applying the antioxidant ascorbate, or the ROS-generation inhibitor diphenylene iodonium attenuated gravitropism while enhancing hydrotropism. Arabidopsis mutants deficient in Ascorbate Peroxidase 1 showed attenuated hydrotropic root bending. Mutants of the root-expressed NADPH oxidase RBOH C, but not rbohD, showed enhanced hydrotropism and less ROS in their roots apices (tested in tissue extracts with Amplex Red). Finally, hydrostimulation prior to gravistimulation attenuated the gravistimulated asymmetric ROS and auxin signals that are required for gravity-directed curvature. We suggest that ROS, presumably H2O2, function in tuning root tropic responses by promoting gravitropism and negatively regulating hydrotropism.Plants evolved the ability to sense and respond to various environmental stimuli in an integrated fashion. Due to their sessile nature, they respond to directional stimuli such as light, gravity, touch, and moisture by directional organ growth (curvature), a phenomenon termed tropism. Experiments on coleoptiles conducted by Darwin in the 1880s revealed that in phototropism, the light stimulus is perceived by the tip, from which a signal is transmitted to the growing part (Darwin and Darwin, 1880). Darwin postulated that in a similar manner, the root tip perceives stimuli from the environment, including gravity and moisture, processes them, and directs the growth movement, acting like “the brain of one of the lower animals” (Darwin and Darwin, 1880). The transmitted signal in phototropism and gravitropism was later found to be a phytohormone, and its redistribution on opposite sides of the root or shoot was hypothesized to promote differential growth and bending of the organ (Went, 1926; Cholodny, 1927). Over the years, the phytohormone was characterized as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, auxin; Kögl et al., 1934; Thimann, 1935), and the ‘Cholodny-Went’ theory was demonstrated for gravitropism and phototropism (Rashotte et al., 2000; Friml et al., 2002). In addition to auxin, second messengers such as Ca2+, pH oscillations, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and abscisic acid (ABA) were shown to play an essential role in gravitropism (Young and Evans, 1994; Fasano et al., 2001; Joo et al., 2001; Ponce et al., 2008). Auxin was shown to induce ROS accumulation during root gravitropism, where the gravitropic bending is ROS dependent (Joo et al., 2001; Peer et al., 2013).ROS such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide were initially considered toxic byproducts of aerobic respiration but currently are known also for their essential role in myriad cellular and physiological processes in animals and plants (Mittler et al., 2011). ROS and antioxidants are essential components of plant cell growth (Foreman et al., 2003), cell cycle control, and shoot apical meristem maintenance (Schippers et al., 2016) and play a crucial role in protein modification and cellular redox homeostasis (Foyer and Noctor, 2005). ROS function as signal molecules by mediating both biotic- (Sagi and Fluhr, 2006; Miller et al., 2009) and abiotic- (Kwak et al., 2003; Sharma and Dietz, 2009) stress responses. Joo et al. (2001) reported a transient increase in intracellular ROS concentrations early in the gravitropic response, at the concave side of maize roots, where auxin concentrations are higher. Indeed, this asymmetric ROS distribution is required for gravitropic bending, since maize roots treated with antioxidants, which act as ROS scavengers, showed reduced gravitropic root bending (Joo et al., 2001). The link between auxin and ROS production was later shown to involve the activation of NADPH oxidase, a major membrane-bound ROS generator, via a PI3K-dependent pathway (Brightman et al., 1988; Joo et al., 2005; Peer et al., 2013). Peer et al. (2013) suggested that in gravitropism, ROS buffer auxin signaling by oxidizing the active auxin IAA to the nonactive and nontransported form, oxIAA.Gravitropic-oriented growth is the default growth program of the plant, with shoots growing upwards and roots downward. However, upon exposure to specific external stimuli, the plant overcomes its gravitropic growth program and bends toward or away from the source of the stimulus. For example, as roots respond to physical obstacles or water deficiency. The ability of roots to direct their growth toward environments of higher water potential was described by Darwin and even earlier and was later defined as hydrotropism (Von Sachs, 1887; Jaffe et al., 1985; Eapen et al., 2005).In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), wild-type seedlings respond to moisture gradients (hydrostimulation) by bending their primary roots toward higher water potential. Upon hydrostimulation, amyloplasts, the starch-containing plastids in root-cap columella cells, which function as part of the gravity sensing system, are degraded within hours and recover upon water replenishment (Takahashi et al., 2003; Ponce et al., 2008; Nakayama et al., 2012). Moreover, mutants with a reduced response to gravity (pgm1) and to auxin (axr1 and axr2) exhibit higher responsiveness to hydrostimulation, manifested as accelerated bending compared to wild-type roots (Takahashi et al., 2002, 2003). Recently, we have shown that hydrotropic root bending does not require auxin redistribution and is accelerated in the presence of auxin polar transport inhibitors and auxin-signaling antagonists (Shkolnik et al., 2016). These results reflect the competition, or interference, between root gravitropism and hydrotropism (Takahashi et al., 2009). However, which cellular signals participate in the integration of the different environmental stimuli that direct root tropic curvature is still poorly understood. Here we sought to assess the potential role of ROS in regulating hydrotropism and gravitropism in Arabidopsis roots. 相似文献

Lipid peroxide-derived toxic carbonyl compounds (oxylipin carbonyls), produced downstream of reactive oxygen species (ROS), were recently revealed to mediate abiotic stress-induced damage of plants. Here, we investigated how oxylipin carbonyls cause cell death. When tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Bright Yellow-2 (BY-2) cells were exposed to hydrogen peroxide, several species of short-chain oxylipin carbonyls [i.e. 4-hydroxy-(E)-2-nonenal and acrolein] accumulated and the cells underwent programmed cell death (PCD), as judged based on DNA fragmentation, an increase in terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling-positive nuclei, and cytoplasm retraction. These oxylipin carbonyls caused PCD in BY-2 cells and roots of tobacco and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). To test the possibility that oxylipin carbonyls mediate an oxidative signal to cause PCD, we performed pharmacological and genetic experiments. Carnosine and hydralazine, having distinct chemistry for scavenging carbonyls, significantly suppressed the increase in oxylipin carbonyls and blocked PCD in BY-2 cells and Arabidopsis roots, but they did not affect the levels of ROS and lipid peroxides. A transgenic tobacco line that overproduces 2-alkenal reductase, an Arabidopsis enzyme to detoxify α,β-unsaturated carbonyls, suffered less PCD in root epidermis after hydrogen peroxide or salt treatment than did the wild type, whereas the ROS level increases due to the stress treatments were not different between the lines. From these results, we conclude that oxylipin carbonyls are involved in the PCD process in oxidatively stressed cells. Our comparison of the ability of distinct carbonyls to induce PCD in BY-2 cells revealed that acrolein and 4-hydroxy-(E)-2-nonenal are the most potent carbonyls. The physiological relevance and possible mechanisms of the carbonyl-induced PCD are discussed.In plants, environmental stressors such as extreme temperatures, drought, intense UV-B radiation, and soil salinity can cause tissue damage, growth inhibition, and even death. These detrimental effects are often ascribed to the action of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in the stressed plants for the following reasons: (1) various environmental stressors commonly cause the oxidation of biomolecules in plants; and (2) transgenic plants with enhanced antioxidant capacities show improved tolerance to environmental stressors (Suzuki et al., 2014). The production of ROS such as superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is intrinsically associated with photosynthesis and respiration (Foyer and Noctor, 2003; Asada, 2006).Plant cells are equipped with abundant antioxidant molecules such as α-tocopherol, β-carotene, and ascorbic acid and an array of ROS-scavenging enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase to maintain low intracellular ROS levels. When plants are exposed to severe and prolonged environmental stress, the balance between the production and scavenging of ROS is disrupted and the cellular metabolism reaches a new state of higher ROS production and lower antioxidant capacity. Then, the oxidation of vital biomolecules such as proteins and DNA proceeds, and as a consequence, cells undergo oxidative injury (Mano, 2002). The cause-effect relationship between ROS and tissue injury in plants is thus widely accepted, but the biochemical processes between the generation of ROS and cell death are poorly understood.Increasing evidence shows that oxylipin carbonyls mediate the oxidative injury of plants (Yamauchi et al., 2012; for review, see Mano, 2012; Farmer and Mueller, 2013). Oxylipin carbonyls are a group of carbonyl compounds derived from oxygenated lipids and fatty acids. The production of oxylipin carbonyls in living cells is explained as follows. Lipids in the membranes are constitutively oxidized by ROS to form lipid peroxides (LOOHs; Mène-Saffrané et al., 2007) because they are the most immediate and abundant targets near the ROS production sites. There are two types of LOOH formation reaction from ROS (Halliwell and Gutteridge, 2007). One is the radical-dependent reaction. Highly oxidizing radicals, such as hydroxyl radical (standard reduction potential of the HO•/H2O pair, +2.31 V) and the protonated form of superoxide radical (HO2/H2O2, +1.06 V), can abstract a hydrogen atom from a lipid molecule, especially at the central carbon of a pentadiene structure in a polyunsaturated fatty acid, to form a radical. This organic radical rapidly reacts with molecular oxygen, forming a lipid hydroperoxyl radical, which then abstracts a hydrogen atom from a neighboring molecule and becomes a LOOH. The other reaction is the addition of singlet oxygen to a double bond of an unsaturated fatty acid to form an endoperoxide or a hydroperoxide (both are LOOHs). A variety of LOOH species are formed, depending on the source fatty acid and also by the oxygenation mechanism (Montillet et al., 2004). LOOH molecules are unstable, and in the presence of redox catalysts such as transition metal ions or free radicals, they decompose to form various aldehydes and ketones (i.e. oxylipin carbonyls; Farmer and Mueller, 2013). The chemical species of oxylipin carbonyl formed in the cells differ according to the fatty acids and the type of ROS involved (Grosch, 1987; Mano et al., 2014a).More than a dozen species of oxylipin carbonyls are formed in plants (for review, see Mano et al., 2009). Oxylipin carbonyls are constitutively formed in plants under normal physiological conditions, and the levels of certain types of oxylipin carbonyls rise severalfold under stress conditions, detected as increases in the free carbonyl content (Mano et al., 2010; Yin et al., 2010; Kai et al., 2012) and by the extent of the carbonyl modification of target proteins (Winger et al., 2007; Mano et al., 2014b). Among the oxylipin carbonyls, the α,β-unsaturated carbonyls, such as acrolein and 4-hydroxy-(E)-2-nonenal (HNE), have high reactivity and cytotoxicity (Esterbauer et al., 1991; Alméras et al., 2003). They strongly inactivate lipoate enzymes in mitochondria (Taylor et al., 2002) and thiol-regulated enzymes in chloroplasts (Mano et al., 2009) in vitro and cause tissue injury in leaves when they are fumigated (Matsui et al., 2012).The physiological relevance of oxylipin carbonyls has been shown by the observation that the overexpression of different carbonyl-scavenging enzymes commonly confers stress tolerance to transgenic plants (for review, see Mano, 2012). For example, 2-alkenal reductase (AER)-overproducing tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) showed tolerance to aluminum (Yin et al., 2010), aldehyde dehydrogenase-overproducing Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) showed tolerance to osmotic and oxidative stress (Sunkar et al., 2003), and aldehyde reductase-overproducing tobacco showed tolerance to chemical and drought stress (Oberschall et al., 2000). In addition, the genetic suppression of a carbonyl-scavenging enzyme made plants susceptible to stressors (Kotchoni et al., 2006; Shin et al., 2009; Yamauchi et al., 2012; Tang et al., 2014). Under stress conditions, there are positive correlations between the levels of certain carbonyls and the extent of tissue injury (Mano et al., 2010; Yin et al., 2010; Yamauchi et al., 2012). Thus, it is evident that oxylipin carbonyls, downstream products of ROS, are causes of oxidative damage in plant cells.To investigate how oxylipin carbonyls damage cells in oxidatively stressed plants, we here examined the mode of cell death that is induced by oxylipin carbonyls and identified the carbonyl species responsible for the cell death. We observed that oxylipin carbonyls cause programmed cell death (PCD), and our results demonstrated that the oxylipin carbonyls mediate the oxidative stress-induced PCD in tobacco Bright Yellow-2 (BY-2) cultured cells and in roots of tobacco and Arabidopsis plants. We then estimated the relative strengths of distinct carbonyl species to initiate the PCD program. Our findings demonstrate a critical role of the lipid metabolites in ROS signaling. 相似文献

The signaling role of hydrogen gas (H2) has attracted increasing attention from animals to plants. However, the physiological significance and molecular mechanism of H2 in drought tolerance are still largely unexplored. In this article, we report that abscisic acid (ABA) induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) by triggering intracellular signaling events involving H2, reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), and the guard cell outward-rectifying K+ channel (GORK). ABA elicited a rapid and sustained H2 release and production in Arabidopsis. Exogenous hydrogen-rich water (HRW) effectively led to an increase of intracellular H2 production, a reduction in the stomatal aperture, and enhanced drought tolerance. Subsequent results revealed that HRW stimulated significant inductions of NO and ROS synthesis associated with stomatal closure in the wild type, which were individually abolished in the nitric reductase mutant nitrate reductase1/2 (nia1/2) or the NADPH oxidase-deficient mutant rbohF (for respiratory burst oxidase homolog). Furthermore, we demonstrate that the HRW-promoted NO generation is dependent on ROS production. The rbohF mutant had impaired NO synthesis and stomatal closure in response to HRW, while these changes were rescued by exogenous application of NO. In addition, both HRW and hydrogen peroxide failed to induce NO production or stomatal closure in the nia1/2 mutant, while HRW-promoted ROS accumulation was not impaired. In the GORK-null mutant, stomatal closure induced by ABA, HRW, NO, or hydrogen peroxide was partially suppressed. Together, these results define a main branch of H2-regulated stomatal movement involved in the ABA signaling cascade in which RbohF-dependent ROS and nitric reductase-associated NO production, and subsequent GORK activation, were causally involved.Stomata are responsible for leaves of terrestrial plants taking in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and likewise regulate how much water plants evaporate through the stomatal pores (Chaerle et al., 2005). When experiencing water-deficient conditions, surviving plants balance photosynthesis with controlling water loss through the stomatal pores, which relies on turgor changes by pairs of highly differentiated epidermal cells surrounding the stomatal pore, called the guard cells (Haworth et al., 2011; Loutfy et al., 2012).Besides the characterization of the significant roles of abscisic acid (ABA) in regulating stomatal movement, the key factors in guard cell signal transduction have been intensively investigated by performing forward and reverse genetics approaches. For example, both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) have been identified as vital intermediates in guard cell ABA signaling (Bright et al., 2006; Yan et al., 2007; Suzuki et al., 2011; Hao et al., 2012). The key ROS-producing enzymes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) guard cells are the respiratory burst oxidase homologs (Rboh) D and F (Kwak et al., 2003; Bright et al., 2006; Mazars et al., 2010; Marino et al., 2012). Current available data suggest that there are at least two distinct pathways responsible for NO synthesis involved in ABA signaling in guard cells: the nitrite reductase (NR)- and l-Arg-dependent pathways (Desikan et al., 2002; Besson-Bard et al., 2008). Genetic evidence further demonstrated that removal of the major known sources of either ROS or NO significantly impairs ABA-induced stomatal closure. ABA fails to induce ROS production in the atrbohD/F double mutant (Kwak et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2012) and NO synthesis in the NR-deficient mutant nitrate reductase1/2 (nia1/2; Bright et al., 2006; Neill et al., 2008), both of which lead to impaired stomatal closure in Arabidopsis. Most importantly, ROS and NO, which function both synergistically and independently, have been established as ubiquitous signal transduction components to control a diverse range of physiological pathways in higher plants (Bright et al., 2006; Tossi et al., 2012).The guard cell outward-rectifying K+ channel (GORK) encodes the exclusive voltage-gated outwardly rectifying K+ channel protein, which was located in the guard cell membrane (Ache et al., 2000; Dreyer and Blatt, 2009). Expression profiles revealed that this gene is up-regulated upon the onset of drought, salinity, and cold stress and ABA exposure (Becker et al., 2003; Tran et al., 2013). Reverse genetic evidence further showed that GORK plays an important role in the control of stomatal movements and allows the plant to reduce transpirational water loss significantly (Hosy et al., 2003) and participates in the regulation of salinity tolerance by preventing salt-induced K+ loss (Jayakannan et al., 2013). Due to the high complexity of guard cell signaling cascades, whether and how ABA-triggered GORK up-regulation is attributed to the generation of cellular secondary messengers, such as ROS and NO, is less clear.Hydrogen gas (H2) was recently revealed as a signaling modulator with multiple biological functions in clinical trails (Ohsawa et al., 2007; Itoh et al., 2009; Ito et al., 2012). It was previously found that a hydrogenase system could generate H2 in bacteria and green algae (Meyer, 2007; Esquível et al., 2011). Although some earlier studies discovered the evolution of H2 in several higher plant species (Renwick et al., 1964; Torres et al., 1984), it was also proposed that the eukaryotic hydrogenase-like protein does not metabolize H2 (Cavazza et al., 2008; Mondy et al., 2014). Since the explosion limit of H2 gas is about 4% to 72.4% (v/v, in the air), the direct application of H2 gas in experiments is flammable and dangerous. Regardless of these problems to be resolved, the methodology, such as using exogenous hydrogen-rich water (HRW) or hydrogen-rich saline, which is safe, economical, and easily available, provides a valuable approach to investigate the physiological function of H2 in animal research and clinical trials. For example, hydrogen dissolved in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium was found to react with cytotoxic ROS and thus protect against oxidative damage in PC12 cells and rats (Ohsawa et al., 2007). The neuroprotective effect of H2-loaded eye drops on retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury was also reported (Oharazawa et al., 2010). In plants, corresponding results by using HRW combined with gas chromatography (GC) revealed that H2 could act as a novel beneficial gaseous molecule in plant responses against salinity (Xie et al., 2012; Xu et al., 2013), cadmium stress (Cui et al., 2013), and paraquat toxicity (Jin et al., 2013). More recently, the observation that HRW could delay the postharvest ripening and senescence of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) was reported (Hu et al., 2014).Considering the fact that the signaling cascades for salt, osmotic, and drought stresses share a common cascade in an ABA-dependent pathway, it would be noteworthy to identify whether and how H2 regulates the bioactivity of ABA-induced downstream components and, thereafter, biological responses, including stomatal closure and drought tolerance. To resolve these scientific questions, rbohD, rbohF, nia1/2, nitric oxide associated1 (noa1; Van Ree et al., 2011), nia1/2/noa1, and gork mutants were utilized to investigate the relationship among H2, ROS, NO, and GORK in the guard cell signal transduction network. By the combination of pharmacological and biochemical analyses with this genetics-based approach, we provide comprehensive evidence to show that H2 might be a newly identified bioeffective modulator involved in ABA signaling responsible for drought tolerance, that HRW-promoted stomatal closure was mainly attributed to the modulation of ROS-dependent NO generation, and that GORK might be the downstream target protein of H2 signaling. 相似文献
