Abstract
Non-host resistance (NHR) governs defense responses against a broad range of potential pathogen species in contrast with host resistance. To identify specific genes involved in disease resistance, we used a virus-induced gene-silencing screen in Nicotiana benthamiana and identified glycosyltransferase (NbGT) as an essential component of NHR. NbGT silencing enhanced the hypersensitivity response, reactive oxygen species response, and callose deposition in N. benthamiana, improving its NHR to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000. NbGT participated in reactive oxygen species accumulation caused by flg22 rather than coronatine and HrcC of Pst DC3000. Analyses of gene expression and enzyme activity demonstrated that NbGT-silenced plants exhibited enhanced expression and elevated levels of superoxide dismutase, resulting in heightened accumulation of H2O2. In conclusion, NbGT-silencing increases H2O2 accumulation by regulating superoxide dismutase activity during the immune response to flg22, enhancing resistance to Pst DC3000 in N. benthamiana. This research provides novel insights into the role of glycosyltransferases in NHR.
期刊介绍:
Physiologia Plantarum is an international journal committed to publishing the best full-length original research papers that advance our understanding of primary mechanisms of plant development, growth and productivity as well as plant interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment. All organisational levels of experimental plant biology – from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics to ecophysiology and global change biology – fall within the scope of the journal. The content is distributed between 5 main subject areas supervised by Subject Editors specialised in the respective domain: (1) biochemistry and metabolism, (2) ecophysiology, stress and adaptation, (3) uptake, transport and assimilation, (4) development, growth and differentiation, (5) photobiology and photosynthesis.
