Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42 represses plant miR846 to induce systemic resistance via a jasmonic acid-dependent signalling pathway.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42 is a type of plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) which activates induced systemic resistance (ISR) in Arabidopsis. Blocking of the synthesis of cyclic lipopeptides and 2,3-butanediol by FZB42, which have been demonstrated to be involved in the priming of ISR, results in the abolishment of the plant defence responses. To further clarify the ISR activated by PGPRs at the microRNA (miRNA) level, small RNA (sRNA) libraries from Arabidopsis leaves after root irrigation with FZB42, FZB42ΔsfpΔalsS and control were constructed and sequenced. After fold change selection, promoter analysis and target prediction, miR846-5p and miR846-3p from the same precursor were selected as candidate ISR-associated miRNAs. miR846 belongs to the non-conserved miRNAs, specif
