Dataset Information

Whole transcriptome analysis in nicotiana benthamiana WT and transgenic lines presenting spontaneous systemic posttranscriptional silencing (PTGS) of a GFP transgene (line GFP6.4 described in Kalantidis Plant J 2006). Change in gene expression was analysed in WT versus GFP6.4 before initiation, during spreading and maintenance of GFP-PTGS.

ABSTRACT: Detect the global transcriptional changes occuring during spreading and maintenance of systemic post transcriptional silencing . Test the hypothesis that activation of systemic PTGS induces parallel antiviral defense pathways. Gene expression was analysed by MACE method (Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends) on total RNA extracted from leaf tissues of WT plants (WT), and GFP6.4 presenting no-silencing (NS sample), ongoing spreading of silencing (OS) and maintenance of silencing (SS). Plants were grown in parallel, and silencing state was monitored under UV. After 3 weeks of growth, total RNAs were extracted using the Trizol method from leaf tissues of 2-3 leaf stage plants. A total of 4 plants were sampled per variable (WT/NS/OS/SS). RNA from 4 plants were pooled and sequenced.

Plants have substantially invested in RNA silencing as the central defense mechanism to combat nucleotide 'invaders' such as viruses, trasposable elements and transgenes. The quantity and quality of light perceived by a plant is a constant environmental stimulus refining cell homeostasis and RNA silencing mechanism seems not to be an exception In our recent paper in BMC Plant Biology we documented that light intensity, in physiological ranges, positively affects silencing initiation and spread. ...[more]

Project description:BACKGROUND: Some plants distinguish mechanical wounding from herbivore attack by recognizing specific constituents of larval oral secretions (OS) which are introduced into plant wounds during feeding. Fatty acid-amino acid conjugates (FACs) are major constituents of Manduca sexta OS and strong elicitors of herbivore-induced defense responses in Nicotiana attenuata plants. RESULTS: The metabolism of one of the major FACs in M. sexta OS, N-linolenoyl-glutamic acid (18:3-Glu), was analyzed on N. attenuata wounded leaf surfaces. Between 50 to 70% of the 18:3-Glu in the OS or of synthetic 18:3-Glu were metabolized within 30 seconds of application to leaf wounds. This heat-labile process did not result in free alpha-linolenic acid (18:3) and glutamate but in the biogenesis of metabolites both more and less polar than 18:3-Glu. Identification of the major modified forms of this FAC showed that they corresponded to 13-hydroxy-18:3-Glu, 13-hydroperoxy-18:3-Glu and 13-oxo-13:2-Glu. The formation of these metabolites occurred on the wounded leaf surface and it was dependent on lipoxygenase (LOX) activity; plants silenced in the expression of NaLOX2 and NaLOX3 genes showed more than 50% reduced rates of 18:3-Glu conversion and accumulated smaller amounts of the oxygenated derivatives compared to wild-type plants. Similar to 18:3-Glu, 13-oxo-13:2-Glu activated the enhanced accumulation of jasmonic acid (JA) in N. attenuata leaves whereas 13-hydroxy-18:3-Glu did not. Moreover, compared to 18:3-Glu elicitation, 13-oxo-13:2-Glu induced the differential emission of two monoterpene volatiles (beta-pinene and an unidentified monoterpene) in irlox2 plants. CONCLUSIONS: The metabolism of one of the major elicitors of herbivore-specific responses in N. attenuata plants, 18:3-Glu, results in the formation of oxidized forms of this FAC by a LOX-dependent mechanism. One of these derivatives, 13-oxo-13:2-Glu, is an active elicitor of JA biosynthesis and differential monoterpene emission.
