Response of tobacco cells to Glucan elicitor

ABSTRACT: We have previously reported that the responses of tobacco tissues treated with AaGlucan are similar to those for laminarin [1]. To better understand the overall responses and signaling pathways in tobacco, we have identified here AaGlucan and laminarin early response genes, using a custom 16K BY-2 microarray [2,3]. BY-2 cells were treated with laminarin or an AaGlucan-enriched fraction prepared from A. alternata 102 culture-medium and subjected to microarray analysis.

AaGlucan was purified from Alternaria alternata 102 as a potent elicitor for tobacco [1] Four-day-old tobacco BY-2 cells after subculture were treated with 10 microg/ml AaGlucan enriched fraction for 1h. Total RNA was prepared from the control and treated samples and used for microarray experiment after reverse transcription and labeling with Cy5 fluorescent dye.
