Transcriptional response of Arabidopsis thaliana in systemic acquired resistance: critical roles for pipecolic acid and salicylic acid

ABSTRACT: We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites salicylic acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip) in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in Arabidopsis thaliana induced by the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. To characterize the transcriptional SAR response, we used wild-type Col-0 plants, SA-deficient sid2 plants and Pip-deficient ald1 plants and performed RNA-sequencing analyses (Bernsdorff et al., Plant Cell, 2016). SAR establishment in the wild-type is characterized by a strong transcriptional response systemically induced in the foliage that prepares plants for future pathogen attack by pre-activating multiple stages of defense signaling. Whereas systemic Pip elevations are indispensable for SAR and necessary for virtually the whole transcriptional SAR response, a moderate but significant SA-independent component of SAR activation and SAR gene expression is revealed. Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown individually in pots containing a mixture of soil, vermiculite and sand (8:1:1) in a controlled cultivation chamber with a 10-h day (9 AM to 7 PM; photon flux density 100 mol m-2 s-1) / 14-h night cycle and a relative humidity of 70 %. Day and night temperatures were set to 21C and 18C, respectively. Experiments were performed with 5- to 6-week-old, naive plants exhibiting a uniform appearance. To activate SAR, plants were infiltrated between 10 AM and 12 AM into three lower (1) leaves with suspensions of the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola (OD600 = 0.005). Infiltration with 10 mM MgCl2 served as the mock-control treatment. Upper (2) leaves were harvested 48 h after the primary treatment for the determination of systemic gene expression by RNA-seq analyses. Three biologically independent, replicate SAR induction experiments were performed with Col-0 and sid2 plants (experimental set 1), and three other biologically independent experiments with Col-0 and ald1 plants (experimental set 2). In each SAR experiment, at least 6 upper (2) leaves from 6 different plants pre-treated in 1 leaves with Psm (MgCl2) were pooled for one biological Psm- (mock-control) replicate. In this way, 3 biologically independent, replicate samples per treatment and plant genotype were obtained within each SAR set.

We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites, salicylic acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip), in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR), SAR-associated defense priming, and basal immunity. Using SA-deficient sid2, Pip-deficient ald1, and sid2 ald1 plants deficient in both SA and Pip, we show that SA and Pip act both independently from each other and synergistically in Arabidopsis thaliana basal immunity to Pseudomonas syringae.

Project description:Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that the resistance increase observed after biological systemic acquired resistance (SAR) induction in plants can be mimicked by exogenous plant treatment with N-hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP, Hartmann et al., 2018, Schnake et al., 2020). Moreover, exogenous application of the NHP biosynthetic precursor pipecolic acid (Pip) induced a transcriptional response that was overlapping with the SAR transcriptional response and fully depended on the NHP synthase FMO1 (Hartmann et al., 2018; E-MTAB-6243). In order to investigate whether elevations of NHP lead to a SAR-like transcriptional reprogramming, we supplied individual Arabidopsis wildtype Col-0 plants, as well as sid2-1 and npr1-3 mutant plants, with doses of 10 µmol NHP and determined the transcriptional response in leaves 24 hours later on the whole genome level by RNA-sequencing analyses in relation to control-treated (H2O) plants. Col-0 plants were additionally treated with doses of 10 µmol Pip in order to directly compare the transcriptional responses of the foliage between Pip and NHP. Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown individually in pots containing a mixture of soil, vermiculite and sand (8:1:1) in a controlled cultivation chamber with a 10-h day (9 AM to 7 PM; photon flux density 100 mol m-2 s-1) / 14-h night cycle and a relative humidity of 70 %. Day and night temperatures were set to 21°C and 18°C, respectively. Experiments were performed with 5-week-old, naive plants exhibiting a uniform appearance. Treatments with NHP and Pip were essentially performed as detailed in Hartmann et al. (2018, Cell 173, 456–469). In brief, 10 ml of a 1 mM aqueous solution of NHP or Pip (equates to a dose of 10 µmol) were pipetted onto the soil of individually cultivated plants. 10 ml of water applied in the way served as control treatments. In total, three biologically independent, replicate experiments were performed. In each experiment, 18 full-grown leaves from 6 different plants were pooled 24 hours after the respective treatments for one biological replicate. In this way, 3 biologically independent, replicate samples per treatment and plant genotype were obtained.

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.
