Drought suppresses plant salicylic acid defence against herbivorous insects by down-regulating the expression of ICS1 via NAC transcription factor
Many herbivorous insects exhibit enhanced performance and population dynamics on drought-stressed host plants due to induced changes in plant physiology. However, the underlying mechanisms of how drought regulates plant defense against herbivorous insects are still largely unknown. In this study, we found that the survival rate and fecundity of whiteflies, notorious global pests, were significantly higher on drought-stressed tobacco. Drought stress did not affect jasmonic acid (JA) accumulation, whereas it significantly decreased the salicylic acid (SA) content by suppressing its biosynthesis. We further demonstrated that drought-induced abscisic acid (ABA) inhibited the expression of isochorismate synthase 1 (ICS1), a key enzyme in the synthesis of SA. The accumulation of ABA induced the expression of abscisic acid responsive NAC domain containing protein 19 (ANAC019), which directly bound to the promoter of NtICS1 and negatively regulated its expression. Finally, we revealed that drought and ABA could activate abscisic acid responsive elements-binding factor 2 (ABF2) transcription factor to up-regulate the expression of NtANAC019. Our study illustrates the significance of cross-talk between abiotic stress and plant-herbivore interactions and reveals the mechanisms leading to altered herbivore fitness on drought-stressed plants.
期刊介绍:
The journal Plant Stress deals with plant (or other photoautotrophs, such as algae, cyanobacteria and lichens) responses to abiotic and biotic stress factors that can result in limited growth and productivity. Such responses can be analyzed and described at a physiological, biochemical and molecular level. Experimental approaches/technologies aiming to improve growth and productivity with a potential for downstream validation under stress conditions will also be considered. Both fundamental and applied research manuscripts are welcome, provided that clear mechanistic hypotheses are made and descriptive approaches are avoided. In addition, high-quality review articles will also be considered, provided they follow a critical approach and stimulate thought for future research avenues.
Plant Stress welcomes high-quality manuscripts related (but not limited) to interactions between plants and:
Lack of water (drought) and excess (flooding),
Salinity stress,
Elevated temperature and/or low temperature (chilling and freezing),
Hypoxia and/or anoxia,
Mineral nutrient excess and/or deficiency,
Heavy metals and/or metalloids,
Plant priming (chemical, biological, physiological, nanomaterial, biostimulant) approaches for improved stress protection,
Viral, phytoplasma, bacterial and fungal plant-pathogen interactions.
The journal welcomes basic and applied research articles, as well as review articles and short communications. All submitted manuscripts will be subject to a thorough peer-reviewing process.
