Priming of tomato mother plants using chemical elicitors linked to whole genome DNA methylation.

ABSTRACT: Inbred parental lines of two cultivars (cv Moneyberg and cv Bolstar Granda) of the model crop tomato were primed (induced for resistance) during four different moments in their development, i.e. once in the vegetative phase (time window 1), once in the generative phase at early flowering (time window 2), multiple times in the generative phase during flowering (time window 3), and once during ripening of the first fruit bunch (time window 4). The primers were ß-aminobutyric acid (BABA), 2,6-dichloroisonicotinic acid (INA), methyljasmonate (MeJA), and water as control; they were selected for their ability to induce different plant resistance pathways. After collecting seed batches from these plants we here look at the effect of priming the tomato plants with those different chemicals on the plant genome methylation level.

Project description:Summary: The non-protein amino acid beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA) primes Arabidopsis to respond more quickly and strongly to pathogen and osmotic stress. Here, we report that BABA also significantly enhanced acquired thermotolerance in Arabidopsis. This thermotolerance was dependent on heat shock protein 101, a critical component of the normal heat shock response. BABA did not enhance basal thermotolerance under a severe heat shock treatment. No roles for the hormones ethylene and salicylic acid in BABA-induced acquired thermotolerance were identified by mutant analysis. By global gene expression analysis, transcript levels for several transcription factors and DNA binding proteins regulating responses to the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) were found to be elevated in BABA-treated relative to water-treated plants. The role of ABA in BABA-induced thermotolerance was complex. BABA-enhanced thermotolerance was partially compromised in the ABA-insensitive mutant, abi1-1, but was augmented in abi2-1. In an unrelated process, BABA, like ABA, inhibited root growth and the level of inhibition was roughly additive in roots treated with both compounds. Root growth of both abi1-1 and abi2-1 was also inhibited by BABA. Unexpectedly, abi1-1 and abi2-1 root growth was inhibited more strongly by combined ABA and BABA treatments than by BABA alone. Our results together with previously published data suggest that BABA is a general enhancer of plant stress resistance and that cross-talk occurs between BABA and ABA signalling cascades. Specifically, the BABA-mediated accumulation of ABA transcription factors without concomitant activation of a downstream ABA response could represent one component of the BABA-primed state in Arabidopsis. Overall design: A replicate experimental design type is where a series of replicates are performed to evaluate reproducibility or as a pilot study to determine the appropriate number of replicates for a subsequent experiments.
