Metabolomic analysis identifies metabolites associated with systemic acquired resistance in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant defense response that provides long-lasting, broad-spectrum pathogen resistance to uninfected distal leaves following an initial localized infection. However, little information is available on the molecular biological basis of SAR especially in uninfected distal leaves. Here, we used two SAR-induced bacteria to induce SAR in Arabidopsis, a metabolomics approach based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) technique was used to identify SAR-related metabolites in SAR-induced bacteria infected local leaves and distal leaves of locally SAR-induced bacteria infected plants. Multiple statistical analyses were used to identify differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs). The result showed primary metabolism and secondary metabolism were significantly altered in local leaves and distal leaves, including phenolic compounds, amino acids, nucleotides, organic acids and many other metabolites. Furthermore, the content of amino acids, phenolic compounds, coenzymes and its derivatives increased in distal leaves, suggesting these metabolites contributed to the establishment of SAR. In addition, 2’-hydroxy-4,4’,6’-trimethoxychalcone, phenylalanine and ethyl docosahexaenoate were identified as potential components which may play important role both in basic resistance and SAR. This study provided a reference for understanding metabolic mechanism associated with SAR in Arabidopsis, which will be useful for further investigation of the molecular basis of SAR.

<h4>Background</h4>Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a type of plant defense response that provides a long-lasting resistance to broad-spectrum pathogens in uninfected distal tissues following an initial localized infection. However, little information is available at present on the biological basis of SAR at the molecular level, especially in uninfected distal leaves.<h4>Methods</h4>In the present work, we used two SAR-inducing pathogens, avirulent <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> pv. <i>maculic ...[more]

Project description:In the absence of adaptive immunity displayed by animals, plants respond locally to biotic challenge via inducible basal defense networks activated through recognition and response toconserved pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). In addition, immunity can be induced in tissues remote from infection sites via systemic acquired resistance (SAR), initiated following gene-for-gene recognition between plant resistance proteins and microbial effectors.The nature of the mobile signal and remotely activated networks responsible for establishing SAR remain unclear. Here we show that despite the absence of PAMP contact, systemically responding leaves rapidly activate a SAR transcriptional signature with strong similarity to local basal defense. Jasmonates have previously been implicated in systemic signalling in response to wounding and plant herbivory but not SAR. We present several lines of evidence that suggest jasmonates may also be central to SAR. Jasmonic acid (JA) rapidly accumulates in phloem exudates of leaves challenged with an avirulent strain of Pseudomonas syringae. In systemically responding leaves transcripts associated with jasmonate biosynthesis are upregulated and JA increases transiently. SAR can be mimicked by foliar JA application and is abrogated in mutants impaired in jasmonate synthesis or response. We conclude that, jasmonate signalling appears to mediate long-distance information transmission. Moreover, the systemic transcriptional response shares extraordinary overlap with local herbivory and wounding responses, indicating that jasmonates may be central to an evolutionarily conserved signalling network, which decodes multiple abiotic and biotic stress signals.
