Jasmonate signaling controls negative and positive effectors of salt stress tolerance in rice

ABSTRACT: The JA deficient mutant (aoc) showed weaker symptoms than WT when both are exposed to salt. JAs signaling in WT, appeared then to impair salt tolerance and we were interested, through this transcriptomic approach, to highlight the JA-dependent component of the salt stress response that could explain the differential phenotype We report, for root and 2nd leaf, the compared transcriptomes of WT and aoc, before and at 3 different times (1 h, 6 h and 72 h) after salt exposure. The study reveals some key JA-regulated negative and positive effectors of salt stress tolerance in rice

Project description:Allantoin is a metabolic intermediate of purine catabolism that often accumulates in stressed plants. Recently, using Arabidopsis knockout mutants (aln) of ALLANTOINASE, we showed that this purine metabolite activates ABA production, thereby stimulating stress-related gene expression and enhancing seedling tolerance to abiotic stress. A detailed re-examination of the microarray data of an aln mutant (aln-1) not only confirmed increased expression of ABA-inducible genes, but also revealed altered expression of genes involved in jasmonic acid (JA) responses, likely under the control of MYC2, a master switch in the JA signaling pathway. Consistent with the transcriptome profiles, the aln-1 mutant displayed increased JA levels and enhanced responses to mechanical wounding and exogenous JA. Moreover, aln mutants demonstrated modestly increased susceptibility to hemibiotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens, probably reflecting the antagonistic action of MYC2 on the defense against these bacteria. Exogenously administered allantoin elicited the expression of JA-responsive genes including MYC2 in wild-type plants, supporting that allantoin might be responsible for the observed JA-related aln phenotypes. However, the effect of exogenous allantoin was suppressed by mutations deficient in bioactive JA (jar1-1), insensitive to JA (myc2-3) and deficient in ABA (aba2-1 and bglu18). The suppressive effect of jar1-1 and bglu18 mutations was further confirmed in the aln-1 background (jar1-1/aln-1 and bglu18/aln-1). These results indicate that allantoin can activate the MYC2-regulated JA signaling pathway through ABA production. Overall, this study provides evidence for the possible connection of purine catabolism with stress hormone homeostasis and signaling, and highlights the importance of allantoin in these interactions. Evidence has been presented only recently for the involvement of purine catabolism in stress protection of plants and the mechanism behind this remains obscure. Here we show that in Arabidopsis, the intermediary metabolite allantoin can activate the MYC2-regulated jasmonate signaling pathway via the mechanism involving ABA, providing the link between the metabolism and two interactive signaling pathways of stress hormones that play critical roles in plant adaptation to environmental adversity.
