Jasmonates have been proposed to be signaling intermediates in the wound and/or elicitor-activated expression of plant defense genes. We used parsley (Petroselinum crispum) cell cultures and transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants expressing 4CL1-GUS gene fusions to investigate the potential role played by jasmonates in mediating the wound and/or elicitor activation of phenylpropanoid and other defense-related genes. Jasmonates and [alpha]-linolenic acid strongly induced the expression of 4CL in a dose-dependent manner in parsley cells; methyl jasmonate also activated the coordinate expression of other phenylpropanoid genes and the accumulation of furanocoumarin phytoalexins. However, the response of the cells to optimal methyl jasmonate concentrations was distinct quantitatively and qualitatively from the response of elicitor-treated cells. In transgenic tobacco wound-inducible tobacco 4CL genes and a 4CL1 promoter-GUS transgene were responsive to jasmonates and [alpha]-linolenic acid in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment of parsley cells or tobacco leaves with a lipoxygenase inhibitor reduced their responsiveness to the elicitor and to wounding. These results show that the elicitor response in parsley cells can be partially mimicked by jasmonate treatment, which supports a role for jasmonates in mediating wound-induced expression of 4CL and other phenylpropanoid genes. 相似文献

Using a calmodulin (CaM) cDNA as a probe in northern analyses, transgenic tomato plants that overexpress the prosystemin gene were found to express increased levels of CaM mRNA and protein in leaves compared to wild-type plants. These transgenic plants have been reported previously to express several wound-inducible defense-related genes in the absence of wounding. Calmodulin mRNA and protein levels were found to increase in leaves of young wild-type tomato plants after wounding, or treatment with systemin, methyl jasmonate, or linolenic acid. CaM mRNA appeared within 0.5 h after wounding or supplying young tomato plants with systemin, and peaked at 1 h. The timing of CaM gene expression is similar to the expression of the wound- or systemin-induced lipoxygenase and prosystemin genes, signal pathway genes whose expression have been reported to begin at 0.5–1 h after wounding and 1–2 h earlier than the genes coding for defensive proteinase inhibitor genes. The similarities in timing between the synthesis of CaM mRNA and the mRNAs for signal pathway components suggests that CaM gene expression may be associated with the signaling cascade that activates defensive genes in response to wounding. 相似文献

Jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA), collectively termed jasmonates, are ubiquitous plant signalling compounds. Several types of stress conditions, such as wounding and pathogen infection, cause endogenous JA accumulation and the expression of jasmonate-responsive genes. Although jasmonates are important signalling components for the stress response in plants, the mechanism by which jasmonate signalling contributes to stress tolerance has not been clearly defined. A comprehensive analysis of jasmonate-regulated metabolic pathways in Arabidopsis was performed using cDNA macroarrays containing 13516 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) covering 8384 loci. The results showed that jasmonates activate the coordinated gene expression of factors involved in nine metabolic pathways belonging to two functionally related groups: (i) ascorbate and glutathione metabolic pathways, which are important in defence responses to oxidative stress, and (ii) biosynthesis of indole glucosinolate, which is a defence compound occurring in the Brassicaceae family. We confirmed that JA induces the accumulation of ascorbate, glutathione and cysteine and increases the activity of dehydroascorbate reductase, an enzyme in the ascorbate recycling pathway. These antioxidant metabolic pathways are known to be activated under oxidative stress conditions. Ozone (O3) exposure, a representative oxidative stress, is known to cause activation of antioxidant metabolism. We showed that O3 exposure caused the induction of several genes involved in antioxidant metabolism in the wild type. However, in jasmonate-deficient Arabidopsis 12-oxophytodienoate reductase 3 (opr3) mutants, the induction of antioxidant genes was abolished. Compared with the wild type, opr3 mutants were more sensitive to O3 exposure. These results suggest that the coordinated activation of the metabolic pathways mediated by jasmonates provides resistance to environmental stresses. 相似文献

Jasmonates are signaling molecules involved in induced systemic resistance, wounding and stress responses of plants. We have previously demonstrated that jasmonates can induce nod genes of Bradyrhizobium japonicum when measured by beta-galactosidase activity. In order to test whether jasmonates can effectively induce the production and secretion of Nod factors (lipo-chitooligosaccharides, LCOs) from B. japonicum, we induced two B. japonicum strains, 532C and USDA3, with jasmonic acid (JA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and genistein (Ge). As genistein is well characterized as an inducer of nod genes it was used a positive control. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) profile of LCOs isolated following treatment with jasmonates or genistein showed that both JA and MeJA effectively induced nod genes and caused production of LCOs from bacterial cultures. JA and MeJA are more efficacious inducers of LCO production than genistein. Genistein plus JA or MeJA resulted in greater LCO production than either alone. A soybean root hair deformation assay showed that jasmonate induced LCOs were as effective as those induced by genistein. This is the first report that jasmonates induce Nod factor production by B. japonicum. This report establishes the role of jasmonates as a new class of signaling molecules in the Bradyrhizobium-soybean symbiosis. 相似文献

Wound-induced expression of a tobacco peroxidase is not enhanced by ethephon and suppressed by methyl jasmonate and coronatine 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

In tobacco plants, wounding induces production of a set of defense-related proteins such as basic pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins and proteinase inhibitors (PIs) via the jasmonate/ethylene pathway. Although class III plant peroxidase (POX) is also wound-inducible, the regulatory mechanism for its wound-induced expression is not fully understood. Here, we describe that a tobacco POX gene (tpoxN1), which is constitutively expressed in roots, is induced locally 30 min after wounding and then systemically in tobacco plants. Infection of necrotizing virus also induced tpoxN1 gene. The wound-induced expression was not enhanced by known wound-signal compounds such as methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and ethephon in contrast to other wound-inducible genes such as basic PR-1 and PI-II genes. And treatment with MeJA and coronatine, biological analogs of jasmonate, rather suppressed the tpoxN1 expression. Salicylic acid, an antagonist of jasmonate-based wound signaling, did not suppress the wound-induced expression of tpoxN1. Only spermine, which is reported as an endogenous inducer for acidic PR genes in tobacco mosaic virus-infected tobacco leaves, could induce tpoxN1 gene expression. These results suggest that wound-induced expression of the tpoxN1 gene is regulated differently from that of the basic PR and PI-II genes. 相似文献

Hydroxyproline-rich glycopeptides (HypSys peptides) have been isolated recently from tobacco and tomato leaves that are powerful
activators of protease inhibitor synthesis. The peptides are processed from polyprotein precursors, two from a single tobacco
precursor and three from a single tomato precursor. The precursor genes are expressed in response to wounding and methyl jasmonate,
similar to the expression of the systemin precursor prosystemin in tomato leaves. Here we investigate the relationships between
systemin and the tomato HypSys peptides in regulating wound signaling in tomato plants. Analysis of transgenic tomato plants
over-expressing sense and antisense constructs of the tomato HypSys precursor under the 35S CaMV promoter show that the transgenic
plants regulate protease inhibitor gene expression in response to wounding in a manner similar to prosystemin. The evidence
indicates that the expression of both the tomato HypSys precursor gene and the prosystemin gene in response to wounding are
necessary for strong systemic signaling. The data supports a role for both genes in an amplification loop that up-regulates
the octadecanoid pathway and the synthesis of jasmonates to effect strong systemic signaling of defense genes. This report
provides the first demonstration of the involvement of two plant peptides derived from two unrelated genes in regulating long
distance wound signaling in plants.

To create a metabolic sink in the jasmonic acid (JA) pathway, we generated transgenic Nicotiana attenuata lines ectopically expressing Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) jasmonic acid O-methyltransferase (35S-jmt) and additionally silenced in other lines the N. attenuata methyl jasmonate esterase (35S-jmt/ir-mje) to reduce the deesterification of methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Basal jasmonate levels did not differ between transgenic and wild-type plants; however, after wounding and elicitation with Manduca sexta oral secretions, the bursts of JA, jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile), and their metabolites that are normally observed in the lamina, midvein, and petiole of elicited wild-type leaves were largely absent in both transformants but replaced by a burst of endogenous MeJA that accounted for almost half of the total elicited jasmonate pools. In these plants, MeJA became a metabolic sink that affected the jasmonate metabolic network and its spread to systemic leaves, with major effects on 12-oxo-phytodieonic acid, JA, and hydroxy-JA in petioles and on JA-Ile in laminas. Alterations in the size of jasmonate pools were most obvious in systemic tissues, especially petioles. Expression of threonine deaminase and trypsin proteinase inhibitor, two JA-inducible defense genes, was strongly decreased in both transgenic lines without influencing the expression of JA biosynthesis genes that were uncoupled from the wounding and elicitation with M. sexta oral secretions-elicited JA-Ile gradient in elicited leaves. Taken together, this study provides support for a central role of the vasculature in the propagation of jasmonates and new insights into the versatile spatiotemporal characteristics of the jasmonate metabolic network. 相似文献

Inducible promoters are important in regulating the expression of resistance genes when plants are attacked by insects or pathogens. Evaluation of the Shpx6b peroxidase promoter from the tropical forage legume Stylosanthes humilis[ Curtis MD, Rae AL, Rusu AG, Harrison SJ & Manners JM (1997) A peroxidase gene promoter induced by phytopathogens and methyl jasmonates in transgenic plants. Molecular Plant Microbial Interactions 10: 326–338] in transgenic tobacco plants Nicotiana tabacum L. (Solanaceae) demonstrated that this promoter could drive expression of both the β‐glucuronidase (GUS uidA gene of E. coli) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter genes in leaf tissues during attack by chewing insects – larvae of potato tuber moth (PTM) Phthorimaea operculella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) and sucking insects – green peach aphids Myzus persicae Sulzer (Homoptera: Aphididae). Strong GUS expression was present in tissues next to cells damaged by PTM larvae 24 h after infestation. With aphid infestation, GUS expression was limited to sites of feeding, and was observed 48 h after infestation. The expression of GFP mirrored that of GUS expression for both treatments, but was normally detected 48 h after infestation. Similarly, the exogenous application of methyl jasmonate (MeJa) induced GUS uniformly across leaf tissue, and mechanical wounding activated GUS expression at wound sites, similar to PTM larvae. GFP expression was observed 48 h after treatment, and for mechanical wounding GFP was localised in a manner similar to PTM damage. For MeJa treatment, GFP expression was more pronounced in cells around the midrib, and it was not uniformly induced across the leaf tissue. GUS reporter gene levels were also assayed to quantify expression, and the results were consistent with the observed histological patterns of expression. The results presented here show that the Shpx6b promoter switches on the expression of linked genes after damage by insect herbivores, and could be useful in regulating the expression of heterologous genes for insect and/or pathogen resistance in transgenic plants. 相似文献

Jasmonates are signals in plant stress responses and development. The exact mode of their action is still controversial. To modulate jasmonate levels intracellularly as well as compartment-specifically, transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants expressing single-chain antibodies selected against the naturally occurring (3R,7R)-enantiomer of jasmonic acid (JA) were created in the cytosol and the endoplasmic reticulum. Consequently, the expression of anti-JA antibodies in planta caused JA-deficient phenotypes such as insensitivity of germinating transgenic seedlings towards methyl jasmonate and the loss of wound-induced gene expression. Results presented here suggest an essential role for cytosolic JA in the wound response of tobacco plants. The findings support the view that substrate availability takes part in regulating JA biosynthesis upon wounding. Moreover, high JA levels observed in immunomodulated plants in response to wounding suggest that tobacco plants are able to perceive a reduced level of physiologically active JA and attempt to compensate for this by increased JA accumulation. 相似文献

The plant growth regulators jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) have recently been identified in a variety of marine algae; however, their role in these organisms is currently unknown. Here we report that exposure to MeJA, during periods of tidal emergence causes the induction of polyphenolic chemical defenses (the phlorotannins) in two populations of the common rockweed Fucus vesiculosus (Linnaeus). Phlorotannin concentrations were up to 1.6 times higher in the growing apices of F. vesiculosus from both Avery Point (Connecticut, USA) and Roosevelt Inlet (Delaware, USA) within 10–14 days after a single brief exposure to airborne MeJA at concentrations ranging from 5.42 to 542 nM. The timing and magnitude of this induced increase in phlorotannin concentration are similar to that caused by real and simulated herbivory, raising the question of whether jasmonates, or their oxylipin relatives, are natural elements of antiherbivore responses in Fucus , as they are in vascular plants. 相似文献

NICTABA is a carbohydrate-binding protein (also called lectin) that is expressed in several Nicotiana species after treatment with jasmonates and insect herbivory. Analyses with tobacco lines overexpressing the NICTABA gene as well as lines with reduced lectin expression have shown the entomotoxic effect of NICTABA against Lepidopteran larvae, suggesting a role of the lectin in plant defense. Until now, little is known with respect to the upstream regulatory mechanisms that are controlling the expression of inducible plant lectins. Using Arabidopsis thaliana plants stably expressing a promoter-β-glucuronidase (GUS) fusion construct, it was shown that jasmonate treatment influenced the NICTABA promoter activity. A strong GUS staining pattern was detected in very young tissues (the apical and root meristems, the cotyledons and the first true leaves), but the promoter activity decreased when plants were getting older. NICTABA was also expressed at low concentrations in tobacco roots and expression levels increased after cold treatment. The data presented confirm a jasmonate-dependent response of the promoter sequence of the tobacco lectin gene in Arabidopsis. These new jasmonate-responsive tobacco promoter sequences can be used as new tools in the study of jasmonate signalling related to plant development and defense. 相似文献

Formation of lipoxygenase-pathway-derived aldehydes in barley leaves upon methyl jasmonate treatment. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

In barley leaves, the application of jasmonates leads to dramatic alterations of gene expression. Among the up-regulated gene products lipoxygenases occur abundantly. Here, at least four of them were identified as 13-lipoxygenases exhibiting acidic pH optima between pH 5.0 and 6.5. (13S,9Z,11E,15Z)-13-hydroxy-9,11,15-octadecatrienoic acid was found to be the main endogenous lipoxygenase-derived polyenoic fatty acid derivative indicating 13-lipoxygenase activity in vivo. Moreover, upon methyl jasmonate treatment > 78% of the fatty acid hydroperoxides are metabolized by hydroperoxide lyase activity resulting in the endogenous occurrence of volatile aldehydes. (2E)-4-Hydroxy-2-hexenal, hexanal and (3Z)- plus (2E)-hexenal were identified as 2,4-dinitro-phenylhydrazones using HPLC and identification was confirmed by GC/MS analysis. This is the first proof that (2E)-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal is formed in plants under physiological conditions. Quantification of (2E)-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal, hexanal and hexenals upon methyl jasmonate treatment of barley leaf segments revealed that hexenals were the major aldehydes peaking at 24 h after methyl jasmonate treatment. Their endogenous content increased from 1.6 nmol.g-1 fresh weight to 45 nmol.g-1 fresh weight in methyl-jasmonate-treated leaf segments, whereas (2E)-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal, peaking at 48 h of methyl jasmonate treatment increased from 9 to 15 nmol.g-1 fresh weight. Similar to the hexenals, hexanal reached its maximal amount 24 h after methyl jasmonate treatment, but increased from 0.6 to 3.0 nmol.g-1 fresh weight. In addition to the classical leaf aldehydes, (2E)-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal was detected, thereby raising the question of whether it functions in the degradation of chloroplast membrane constituents, which takes place after methyl jasmonate treatment. 相似文献

In the endeavor to enhance the production of pharmaceutically valuable tropane alkaloids including hyoscyamine and scopolamine
in Hyoscyamus niger, methyl jasmonate (MeJA) showed significant stimulation both in tropane biosynthetic pathway enzymes activities and tropane
alkaloids yields. Therefore it was speculated that genetic engineering of jasmonate biosynthetic pathway might enhance the
endogenous jasmonates concentration, followed by stimulating the production of tropane alkaloids. Herein a full-length cDNA
encoding allene oxide synthase (AOS, EC 4.2.1.92), the first committed step enzyme in jasmonate biosynthetic pathway was reported
(named HnAOS, GenBank accession: EF532599). HnAOS was a novel member of the cytochrome P450 (CYP74A) subfamily. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that HnAOS mRNA accumulated mainly in stems, and responded significantly to wounding or methyl jasmonate.
