Diverse contributions of MYC2 and EIN3 in the regulation of Arabidopsis jasmonate-responsive gene expression.

ABSTRACT: Derepression of transcription factors is the key mechanism for triggering plant jasmonate (JA) responses. Unlike regulating certain physiological functions for the majority of transcription factors in JA signaling, MYC2 and EIN3 control more diverse aspects. MYC2 predominantly participates in wounding response, metabolism, and root growth inhibition, while EIN3 (and its closest homolog EIL1) regulates defense gene expression and root hair development. Recently, it was reported that MYC2 and EIN3/EIL1 proteins mutually interact with each other and suppress their interaction partner's transcriptional activities. To understand their contributions in the modulation of transcriptomic network, we initially identified 1,495 differentially expressed jasmonate (JA)-responsive genes in wild-type Ara
