Abstract
The mycotoxin tenuazonic acid (TeA) inhibits photosynthesis and is expected to be developed as a bioherbicide to control Ageratina adenophora that is one of the most serious invasive alien plants in China. New leaves sprouting from A. adenophora at low temperatures (LT) in early spring are less sensitive to TeA compared to those growing in summer. However, the molecular mechanism of LT-caused decrease in the susceptibility of A. adenophora to TeA is unclear. In this study, three singlet oxygen-responsive genes (SORGs) and three jasmonic acid responsive genes (JARGs) were cloned to further probe the role of singlet oxygen (1O2) signaling during TeA-induced disease development in A. adenophora leaves exposed to LT. TeA triggered chloroplast-derived 1O2 production as a result of photosystem II (PSII) photoinhibition during leaf lesion formation in A. adenophora. Moreover, TeA indeed induced the expression of SORGs and JARGs as well as a high level of JA generation, activating the 1O2 signaling pathway in A. adenophora. LT (12°C) pretreatment can cause PSII photoinhibition and increase the SORG AaAAA-ATPase expression level in A. adenophora leaves, meaning that 1O2 signaling was activated by LT. Thus TeA led to less increase of the SORGs and JARGs expression and JA level in plants pretreated by LT compared with non-pretreated plants, although both of them had the same level of 1O2 production after TeA treatment. It was concluded that the low susceptibility to TeA of A. adenophora subjected to LT can be attributed to the occurrence of 1O2 acclimation.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
