Jasmonate induced alternative splicing responses in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Jasmonate is an essential phytohormone regulating plant growth, development, and defense. Alternative splicing (AS) in jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) repressors is well-characterized and plays an important role in jasmonate signaling regulation. However, it is unknown whether other genes in the jasmonate signaling pathway are regulated by AS. We explore the potential for AS regulation in three Arabidopsis genotypes (WT, jaz2, jaz7) in response to methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment with respect to: (a) differential AS, (b) differential miRNA targeted AS, and (c) AS isoforms with novel functions. AS events identified from transcriptomic data were validated with proteomic data. Protein interaction networks identified two genes, SKIP and ALY4 whose products have b
