The anthocorid predator Orius laevigatus is widely used as biological control agent of thrips pests, including the western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. In the current study, it was shown that O. laevigatus adults can increase plant resistance to feeding damage of F. occidentalis on tomato plants. The predator elicits a jasmonic acid (JA) mediated wound response during endophytic oviposition, resulting
in reduced thrips feeding. A strong accumulation of H2O2, a molecule involved in different parts of the wound response, in leaf tissue surrounding the predator eggs or oviposition
puncture sites was observed. Infestation of tomato plants with adult predators led to the upregulation of three JA regulated
wound responsive genes: the precursor prosystemin, the jasmonic acid biosynthesis enzyme allene oxide synthase and the defence
protein proteinase inhibitor I. Likewise, the presence of adults caused accumulation of proteinase inhibitor II, a principal
marker for the wound response. 相似文献

The systemic accumulation of both hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and proteinase inhibitor proteins in tomato leaves in response to wounding was inhibited by the NADPH oxidase inhibitors diphenylene iodonium (DPI), imidazole, and pyridine. The expression of several defense genes in response to wounding, systemin, oligosaccharides, and methyl jasmonate also was inhibited by DPI. These genes, including those of four proteinase inhibitors and polyphenol oxidase, are expressed within 4 to 12 hr after wounding. However, DPI did not inhibit the wound-inducible expression of genes encoding prosystemin, lipoxygenase, and allene oxide synthase, which are associated with the octadecanoid signaling pathway and are expressed 0.5 to 2 hr after wounding. Accordingly, treatment of plants with the H(2)O(2)-generating enzyme glucose oxidase plus glucose resulted in the induction of only the later-expressed defensive genes and not the early-expressed signaling-related genes. H(2)O(2) was cytochemically detected in the cell walls of vascular parenchyma cells and spongy mesophyll cells within 4 hr after wounding of wild-type tomato leaves, but not earlier. The cumulative results suggest that active oxygen species are generated near cell walls of vascular bundle cells by oligogalacturonide fragments produced by wound-inducible polygalacturonase and that the resulting H(2)O(2) acts as a second messenger for the activation of defense genes in mesophyll cells. These data provide a rationale for the sequential, coordinated, and functional roles of systemin, jasmonic acid, oligogalacturonides, and H(2)O(2) signals for systemic signaling in tomato plants in response to wounding. 相似文献

Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to perceive environmental cues and develop appropriate and coordinated responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Considerable progress has been made towards a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of plant response to a single stress. However, the existence of cross-tolerance to different stressors has proved to have great relevance in the control and regulation of organismal adaptation. Evidence for the involvement of the signal peptide systemin and jasmonic acid in wound-induced salt stress adaptation in tomato has been provided. To further unravel the functional link between plant responses to salt stress and mechanical damage, transgenic tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants constitutively expressing the prosystemin cDNA have been exposed to a moderate salt stress. Prosystemin over-expression caused a reduction in stomatal conductance. However, in response to salt stress, prosystemin transgenic plants maintained a higher stomatal conductance compared with the wild-type control. Leaf concentrations of abscissic acid (ABA) and proline were lower in stressed transgenic plants compared with their wild-type control, implying that either the former perceived a less stressful environment or they adapted more efficiently to it. Consistently, under salt stress, transgenic plants produced a higher biomass, indicating that a constitutive activation of wound responses is advantageous in saline environment. Comparative gene expression profiling of stress-induced genes suggested that the partial stomatal closure was not mediated by ABA and/or components of the ABA signal transduction pathway. Possible cross-talks between genes involved in wounding and osmotic stress adaptation pathways in tomato are discussed. 相似文献

Cross-tolerance is the phenomenon by which a plant resistance to a stress results in resistance to another form of stress. It has previously been shown that salt stress causes the accumulation of proteinase inhibitors and the activation of other wound-related genes in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum). However, very little is known about how different stresses interact with one another, and which are the signalling components that interrelate the responses triggered by different stress types. In the present work, it is shown that mechanical wounding increases salt-stress tolerance in tomato plants through a mechanism that involves the signalling peptide systemin and the synthesis of JA. Data are also provided indicating that calmodulin-like activities are necessary for the downstream signalling events that lead to cross-tolerance between wounding and salt stress. Finally, evidence was gathered supporting the hypothesis that LeCDPK1, a Ca2+ -dependent protein kinase from tomato previously described in our laboratory, could participate in this cross-tolerance mechanism interrelating the signalling responses to wounding and salt stress. 相似文献

In our previous work, we described the defensive potential of a wound- and methyl jasmonate-inducible 87 kDa tomato cystatin and its accumulation in a crystalline form. Here, we report the immunolocalization of this cysteine proteinase inhibitor in tomato leaf blade. Methyl jasmonate treated wild type plants showed accumulation of crystalline structures that were specifically and strongly stained with polyclonal antibodies against tomato cystatin. Crystalline cystatin was found in palisade and spongy parenchyma cells and immuno-gold electron microscopy analysis revealed that the crystals were compartmentalized in the cytosol. The same pattern in localization of cystatin was observed in transgenic tomato plants superexpressing prosystemin transgene. Our data showing the accumulation of cystatin in response to methyl jasmonate and in response to a overproduction of a wound signal corroborate the protective role of this inhibitor. 相似文献

The tomato mutant spr1 is defective in systemin perception and the production of a systemic wound signal for defense gene expression 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Wound-induced systemic expression of defensive proteinase inhibitor (PI) genes in tomato plants requires the action of systemin and its precursor protein prosystemin. Although it is well established that systemin induces PI expression through the octadecanoid pathway for jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis, relatively little is known about how systemin and JA interact to promote long-distance signaling between damaged and undamaged leaves. Here, this question was addressed by characterizing a systemin-insensitive mutant (spr1) that was previously identified as a suppressor of prosystemin-mediated responses. In contrast to JA biosynthetic or JA signaling mutants that lack both local and systemic PI expression in response to wounding, spr1 plants were deficient mainly in the systemic response. Consistent with this phenotype, spr1 plants exhibited normal PI induction in response to oligosaccharide signals that are thought to play a role in the local wound response. Moreover, spr1 abolished JA accumulation in response to exogenous systemin, and reduced JA accumulation in wounded leaves to approximately 57% of wild-type (WT) levels. Analysis of reciprocal grafts between spr1 and WT plants showed that spr1 impedes systemic PI expression by blocking the production of the long-distance wound signal in damaged leaves, rather than inhibiting the recognition of that signal in systemic undamaged leaves. These experiments suggest that Spr1 is involved in a signaling step that couples systemin perception to activation of the octadecanoid pathway, and that systemin acts at or near the site of wounding (i.e. in rootstock tissues) to increase JA synthesis to a level that is required for the systemic response. It was also demonstrated that spr1 plants are not affected in the local or systemic expression of a subset of rapidly induced wound-response genes, indicating the existence of a systemin-independent pathway for wound signaling. 相似文献

The octadecanoid signaling pathway has been shown to play an important role in plant defense against various chewing insects and some pathogenic fungi. Here, we examined the interaction of a cell-content feeding arachnid herbivore, the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch), with cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and an isogenic mutant line (defenseless-1 [def-1]) that is deficient in the biosynthesis of the octadecanoid pathway-derived signal, jasmonic acid (JA). Spider mite feeding and fecundity on def-1 plants was significantly greater than on wild-type plants. Decreased resistance of def-1 plants was correlated with reduced JA accumulation and expression of defensive proteinase inhibitor (PI) genes, which were induced in mite-damaged wild-type leaves. Treatment of def-1 plants with methyl-JA restored resistance to spider mite feeding and reduced the fecundity of female mites. Plants expressing a 35S::prosystemin transgene that constitutively activates the octadecanoid pathway in a Def-1-dependent manner were highly resistant to attack by spider mites and western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), another cell-content feeder of economic importance. These findings indicate that activation of the octadecanoid signaling pathway promotes resistance of tomato to a broad spectrum of herbivores. The techniques of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and bulk segregant analysis were used to map the Def-1 gene to a region on the long arm of chromosome 3 that is genetically separable from the map position of known JA biosynthetic genes. Tight linkage of Def-1 to a T-DNA insertion harboring the maize (Zea mays) Dissociation transposable element suggests a strategy for directed transposon tagging of the gene. 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

Differential expression of tomato proteinase inhibitor I and II genes during bacterial pathogen invasion and wounding 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Expression of proteinase inhibitor I and II genes was investigated during infection by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, the causal agent of bacterial speck disease in tomato. Inoculation of leaves with P. s. pv. tomato of two inbred tomato lines that are resistant and susceptible to the pathogen resulted in the accumulation of proteinase inhibitor I and II mRNAs in this organ. Our data showed that in the lines used in this study, proteinase inhibitor II mRNAs accumulated in leaves to higher levels than proteinase inhibitor I mRNA in response to P. s. pv. tomato infection and wounding. Proteinase inhibitor II mRNAs accumulated more rapidly in disease-resistant than in disease-susceptible plants. Proteinase inhibitor I mRNAs were first detected in the disease-susceptible line during infection and wounding. In contrast to wounding, the systemic induction of these genes during pathogen ingression was limited. These data show that the plant proteinase inhibitors constitute one of the components of the plant defense system that are induced in response to bacterial pathogen invasion. 相似文献

Jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate have been shown previously to be powerful inducers of proteinase inhibitors in tomato, tobacco, and alfalfa leaves. We show here that when proposed octadecanoid precursors of jasmonic acid, i.e., linolenic acid, 13(S)-hydroperoxylinolenic acid, and phytodienoic acid, were applied to the surfaces of tomato leaves, these compounds also served as powerful inducers of proteinase inhibitor I and II synthesis, a simulation of a wound response. By contrast, compounds closely related to the precursors but which are not intermediates in the jasmonic acid biosynthetic pathway did not induce proteinase inhibitor synthesis. These results suggest that the octadecanoid intermediates may participate in a lipid-based signaling system that activates proteinase inhibitor synthesis in response to insect and pathogen attack. 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.

Mild acid hydrolysis of a small (Mr = 6 kDa) pectic polysaccharide isolated from tomato leaves, an inducer of the synthesis and accumulation of two proteinase inhibitors in excised tomato plants, yielded a alpha-D-polygalacturonic acid polymer with degree of polymerization = 20 that retained proteinase inhibitor-inducing activity. Enzymic and acid hydrolysis of this polygalacturonan yielded a series of alpha-1,4-D-galacturonic acid oligomers with degrees of polymerization from 2 to 6 which were purified to homogeneity and assayed for proteinase inhibitor-inducing activity in young excised tomato plants. All of the oligomers exhibited activity. The hexagalacturonide possessed the highest activity and the trimer the lowest. The evidence supports a possible role for plant cell wall fragments as systemic messengers that regulate the expression of proteinase inhibitor genes in plant leaves in response to pest attacks. 相似文献

Phospholipase A (PLA) activity, as measured by the accumulation of (14)C-lysophosphatidylcholine in leaves of tomato plants, increased rapidly and systemically in response to wounding. The increase in PLA activity in the systemic unwounded leaves was biphasic in wild-type tomato plants, peaking at 15 min and again at 60 min, but the second peak of activity was absent in transgenic prosystemin antisense plants. Supplying young excised tomato plants with the polypeptide hormone systemin also caused (14)C-lysophosphatidylcholine to increase to levels similar to those induced by wounding, but the increase in activity persisted for >2 hr. Antagonists of systemin blocked both the release of (14)C-lysophosphatidylcholine and the accumulation of defense proteins in response to systemin. (14)C-lysophosphatidylcholine levels did not increase in response to jasmonic acid. Chemical acylation of the lysophosphatidylcholine produced by wounding, systemin, and oligosaccharide elicitors followed by enzymatic hydrolysis with lipases of known specificities demostrated that the lysophosphatidylcholine is generated by a PLA with specificity for the sn-2 position. 相似文献

Transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants that overexpress the Prosystemin gene (35S::PS) and plants with a mutation in the JA biosynthetic pathway (def1) are known to exhibit a constitutive or reduced wound response, respectively. Here it is demonstrated that several independent 35S::PS lines emit high levels of specific volatiles in addition to increased accumulation of proteinase inhibitors (PIs). Furthermore, the temporal dynamics of systemically induced volatile compounds including green-leaf volatiles, terpenes, and shikimic acid-derivatives from 35S::PS and def1 plants in response to herbivore wounding and treatment with jasmonic acid (JA) are described. Application of JA induced defense protein accumulation and volatile emissions in wild type plants, but did not further increase systemic volatile emissions from 35S::PS plants. Wounding by Manduca sexta larvae induced synthesis of defense proteins and emission of volatiles in wild type plants, but not in def1 plants. Application of jasmonic acid restored the local and systemic accumulation of defense proteins in def1, as well as enhanced herbivore-induced volatile emissions. These results provide strong support for the role of prosystemin- and JA-signaling in the regulation of volatile emissions in tomato plants. 相似文献

The sulfhydryl group reagent p-chloromecuribenzene sulfonic acid (PCMBS), an established inhibitor of active apoplastic phloem loading of sucrose in several plant species, is shown to be a powerful inhibitor of wound-induced and systemin-induced activation of proteinase inhibitor synthesis and accumulation in leaves of tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum cv Castlemart). PCMBS, supplied to young tomato plants through their cut stems, blocks accumulation of proteinase inhibitors in leaves in response to wounding. The application of systemin directly to fresh wounds enhances systemic accumulation of proteinase inhibitors to levels higher than wounding alone. Placed on fresh wounds, PCMBS severely inhibits systemic induction of proteinase inhibitors, in both the presence and absence of exogenous systemin. PCMBS inhibition can be reversed by cysteine, dithiothreitol, and glutathione. Radiolabeled systemin placed on fresh wounds is readily transported from the wounded leaves to upper leaves. However, in the presence of PCMBS, radiolabeled systemin is not transported away from wound sites. Induction of proteinase inhibitor I synthesis by oligouronides (degree of polymerization [almost equal to] 20), linolenic acid, or methyl jasmonate was not inhibited by PCMBS. The cumulative data support a possible role for sulfhydryl groups in mediating the translocation of systemin from wound sites to distal receptor sites in tomato plants and further support a role for systemin as a systemic wound signal. 相似文献

Jasmonic acid (JA) is a fatty acid-derived signaling molecule that regulates a broad range of plant defense responses against herbivores and some microbial pathogens. Molecular genetic studies in Arabidopsis have established that JA also performs a critical role in anther and pollen development but is not essential for other developmental aspects of the plant's life cycle. Here, we describe the phenotypic and molecular characterization of a sterile mutant of tomato (jasmonic acid-insensitive1 [jai1]) that is defective in JA signaling. Although the mutant exhibited reduced pollen viability, sterility was caused by a defect in the maternal control of seed maturation, which was associated with the loss of accumulation of JA-regulated proteinase inhibitor proteins in reproductive tissues. jai1 plants exhibited several defense-related phenotypes, including the inability to express JA-responsive genes, severely compromised resistance to two-spotted spider mites, and abnormal development of glandular trichomes. We demonstrate that these defects are caused by the loss of function of the tomato homolog of CORONATINE-INSENSITIVE1 (COI1), an F-box protein that is required for JA-signaled processes in Arabidopsis. These findings indicate that the JA/COI1 signaling pathway regulates distinct developmental processes in different plants and suggest a role for JA in the promotion of glandular trichome-based defenses. 相似文献
