Strigolactones modulate jasmonate-dependent transcriptional reprogramming during wound signalling in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Mechanical wounding triggers rapid transcriptional and hormonal reprogramming in plants, primarily driven by jasmonate (JA) signalling. While the role of JA, ethylene, and salicylic acid in wound responses is well characterised, the contribution of strigolactones (SLs) remains largely unexplored. Here, for the first time, it was shown that SLs modulate wound-induced transcriptional dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana. Using transcriptome profiling of wild-type (Columbia-0) and the SL biosynthesis mutant more axillary growth3 (max3), a discrete cohort of genes whose wound induction is SL-dependent was identified. These genes include core JA biosynthetic genes and several JA-responsive transcriptional repressors, indicating that SLs potentiate early JA signalling. Promoter motif and protein-pro
