- PublicationAccès librePriming for enhanced defence responses by specific inhibition of the Arabidopsis response to coronatine(2011)
;Tsai, Chia-Hong ;Singh, Prashant ;Chen, Ching-Wei ;Thomas, Jerome ;Weber, Johann; Zimmerli, LaurentThe priming agent β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is known to enhance Arabidopsis resistance to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000 by potentiating salicylic acid (SA) defence signalling, notably PR1 expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unknown. A genome-wide microarray analysis of BABA priming during Pst DC3000 infection revealed direct and primed up-regulation of genes that are responsive to SA, the SA analogue benzothiadiazole and pathogens. In addition, BABA was found to inhibit the Arabidopsis response to the bacterial effector coronatine (COR). COR is known to promote bacterial virulence by inducing the jasmonic acid (JA) response to antagonize SA signalling activation. BABA specifically repressed the JA response induced by COR without affecting other plant JA responses. This repression was largely SA-independent, suggesting that it is not caused by negative cross-talk between SA and JA signalling cascades. Treatment with relatively high concentrations of purified COR counteracted BABA inhibition. Under these conditions, BABA failed to protect Arabidopsis against Pst DC3000. BABA did not induce priming and resistance in plants inoculated with a COR-deficient strain of Pst DC3000 or in the COR-insensitive mutant coi1-16. In addition, BABA blocked the COR-dependent re-opening of stomata during Pst DC3000 infection. Our data suggest that BABA primes for enhanced resistance to Pst DC3000 by interfering with the bacterial suppression of Arabidopsis SA-dependent defences. This study also suggests the existence of a signalling node that distinguishes COR from other JA responses. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementThe xenobiotic beta-aminobutyric acid enhances Arabidopsis thermotolerance(2008)

;Zimmerli, Laurent ;Hou, Bi-Huei ;Tsai, Chia-Hong ;Jakab, Gabor; Somerville, ShaunaThe non-protein amino acid β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) primes Arabidopsis to respond more quickly and strongly to pathogen and osmotic stress. Here, we report that BABA also significantly enhances acquired thermotolerance in Arabidopsis. This thermotolerance was dependent on heat shock protein 101, a critical component of the normal heat-shock response. BABA did not enhance basal thermotolerance under a severe heat-shock treatment. No roles for the hormones ethylene and salicylic acid in BABA-induced acquired thermotolerance were identified by mutant analysis. Using global gene expression analysis, transcript levels for several transcription factors and DNA binding proteins regulating responses to the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) were found to be elevated in BABA-treated plants compared with water-treated plants. The role of ABA in BABA-induced thermotolerance was complex. BABA-enhanced thermotolerance was partially compromised in the ABA-insensitive mutant, abi1-1, but was augmented in abi2-1. In an unrelated process, BABA, like ABA, inhibited root growth, and the level of inhibition was roughly additive in roots treated with both compounds. Root growth of both abi1-1 and abi2-1 was also inhibited by BABA. Unexpectedly, abi1-1 and abi2-1 root growth was inhibited more strongly by combined ABA and BABA treatments than by BABA alone. Our results, together with previously published data, suggest that BABA is a general enhancer of plant stress resistance, and that cross-talk occurs between BABA and ABA signalling cascades. Specifically, the BABA-mediated accumulation of ABA transcription factors without concomitant activation of a downstream ABA response could represent one component of the BABA-primed state in Arabidopsis. - PublicationAccès librePriming: Getting Ready for Battle(2006)

J. ;Poinssot, Benoit ;Pozo, María J. ;Pugin, Alain ;Schaffrath, Ulrich ;Ton, Jurriaan ;Wendehenne, David ;Zimmerli, LaurentInfection of plants by necrotizing pathogens or colonization of plant roots with certain beneficial microbes causes the induction of a unique physiological state called “ priming”. The primed state can also be induced by treatment of plants with various natural and synthetic compounds. Primed plants display either faster, stronger, or both activation of the various cellular defense responses that are induced following attack by either pathogens or insects or in response to abiotic stress. Although the phenomenon has been known for decades, most progress in our understanding of priming has been made over the past few years. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of priming in various induced-resistance phenomena in plants. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementEnhancing Arabidopsis salt and drought stress tolerance by chemical priming for its abscisic acid responses(2005)

;Jakab, Gabor ;Ton, Jurriaan; ;Zimmerli, Laurent ;Métraux, Jean-PierreDrought and salt stress tolerance of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants increased following treatment with the nonprotein amino acid -aminobutyric acid (BABA), known as an inducer of resistance against infection of plants by numerous pathogens. BABA-pretreated plants showed earlier and higher expression of the salicylic acid-dependent PR-1 and PR-5 and the abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent RAB-18 and RD-29A genes following salt and drought stress. However, non-expressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 and constitutive expressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 mutants as well as transgenic NahG plants, all affected in the salicylic acid signal transduction pathway, still showed increased salt and drought tolerance after BABA treatment. On the contrary, the ABA deficient 1 and ABA insensitive 4 mutants, both impaired in the ABA-signaling pathway, could not be protected by BABA application. Our data demonstrate that BABA-induced water stress tolerance is based on enhanced ABA accumulation resulting in accelerated stress gene expression and stomatal closure. Here, we show a possibility to increase plant tolerance for these abiotic stresses through effective priming of the preexisting defense pathways without resorting to genetic alterations. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementMolecular characterization of a novel lipase-like pathogen-inducible gene family of Arabidopsis(2003)

;Jakab, Gabor ;Manrique, Amapola ;Zimmerli, Laurent ;Métraux, Jean-PierreIn a differential screening between Arabidopsis plants pretreated with the resistance-inducer ß-aminobutyric acid and untreated control plants, we have identified a gene encoding a novel lipase-like protein, PRLIP1. The abundance of PRLIP1 mRNAs in Arabidopsis leaves was up-regulated by application of ß-aminobutyric acid, salicylic acid (SA), and ethylene as well as by various pathogens. Induction of PRLIP1 depended on a functioning SA and ethylene signal transduction pathway but was independent of jasmonate signaling. This novel pathogenesis-related (PR) gene of Arabidopsis belongs to a gene family consisting of six (PRLIP1, PRLIP2, PRLIP4, PRLIP5, PRLIP6, and PRLIP7) closely related members in tandem position on chromosome 5. Among these genes, PRLIP2 also was induced in leaves by SA and infections by pathogens but on a much lower level than PRLIP1. The PRLIP1 family showed a tissue-specific expression pattern. Both PRLIP1 and PRLIP2 were specifically expressed in leaves and siliques, PRLIP1 additionally in stems and flowers. The expression of PRLIP6 and PRLIP4 was root specific, whereas mRNA of PRLIP5 and PRLIP7 were not detected in any of these tissues. The more distantly related genes PRLIP3, PRLIP9, and PRLIP8 were found on chromosomes 2, 4, and 5, respectively. The expression level of PRLIP3 was checked and found constitutive during the different stress conditions tested. The PRLIP1 gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the resulting PRLIP1 protein showed esterase activity on p-nitrophenyl-butyrate and allowed the growth of the bacteria on lipidic substrates such as Tween20 or Tween80. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementB-aminobutyric acid-induced resistance in plants(2001)
