Transcription profiling of canola seedling roots and shoots to study the effects of the bacterial enzyme ACC deaminase
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of the bacterial enzyme ACC deaminase on the transcriptional changes within canola seedlings. Seedlings from seeds treated with the plant growth-promoting bacteria Pseudomonas putida UW4 which expresses a high level of ACC deaminase and its ACC deaminase-minus mutant were compared to untreated seedlings along with a transgenic line of canola expressing the ACC deaminase enzyme in the roots. ACC deaminase breaks down 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, the biosynthetic precursor to the plant hormone ethylene, lowering ethylene levels and improving plant fitness. Plants treated with the ACC deaminase-containing bacteria and transgenic plants expressing ACC deaminase are more tolerant to a variet of stresses and this expression study helps to illuminate the pathways responsible for the growth promotion provided by the beneficial bacteria and the role of the enzyme itself.
