Abstract: | Addition of salicylic acid (SA) to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)suspension culture immediately induced a rapid and transientgeneration of superoxide anion (O2), followed by a transientincrease in cytosolic free calcium ion concentration (Ca2+]c).The level of SA-induced O2 was lowered by treatment withseveral scavengers of active oxygen species and a peroxidaseinhibitor, but not with an NADPH oxidase inhibitor. The SA-inducedCa2+]c elevation was also lowered by inhibitors which effectivelylowered the O2 level. Inhibition of Ca2+]c elevationby Ca2+ channel blockers and a Ca2+ chelator indicated thatextracellular Ca2+ was responsible for the increased Ca2+]c.Among the several SA analogs, only compounds that actively inducedthe O2 generation also elevated Ca2+]cIn addition, theinhibitory effects of SA analogs on catalase activity correlatedwell with their effects on the O2 generation and theCa2+]c elevation. SA-dependent O2 generation was shownto occur extracellularly, requiring both H2O2 and at least oneproteinaceous factor excreted from the cells. This factor wasdetermined to be a salicylhydroxamic acid-sensitive extracellularguaiacol-utilizing peroxidase.
