Title: Quantitative trait loci mapping and transcriptome analysis reveal candidate genes regulating the response to ozone in Arabidopsis thaliana.

 

Summary: As multifaceted molecules, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to accumulate in response to various stresses. Ozone (O3) is an air pollutant with detrimental effect on plants and O3 can also be used as a tool to study the role of ROS in signaling. Genetic variation of O3 sensitivity in different Arabidopsis accessions highlights the complex genetic architecture of plant responses to ROS. To investigate the genetic basis of O3 sensitivity, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population between two Arabidopsis accessions with distinct O3 sensitivity, C24 (O3 tolerant) and Te (O3 sensitive) was used for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping. Through analysis of QTL mapping combined with transcriptome changes in response to O3, we identified three causal QTLs and several potential candidate genes regulating the response to O3. Based on gene expression data, water loss, and stomatal conductance measurement, we found that a combination of relatively low stomatal conductance and constitutive activation of salicylic acid (SA)-mediated defense signaling were responsible for the O3 tolerance in C24. Application of exogenous SA prior to O3 exposure can mimic the constitutive SA signaling in C24 and could attenuate O3-induced leaf damage in the sensitive Arabidopsis accessions Te and Cvi-0.

Encodes a geranyllinalool synthase that produces a precursor to TMTT, a volatile plant defense C16-homoterpene. GES transcript levels rise in response to alamethicin, a fungal peptide mixture that damages membranes. This transcriptional response is blocked in JA biosynthetic and JA signaling mutants, but GES transcript levels still rise in response to alamethicin in mutants with salicylic acid and ethylene biosynthetic and/or signaling defects. GES transcripts also accumulate in response to a larval infestation. This enzyme does not localize to the plastids, and it may be present in the cytosol or endoplasmic reticulum.

CINV1 / A/N-InvG is an alkaline/neutral invertase that breaks sucrose down into fructose and glucose (GH100). The exact localization of CINV1 remains under investigation but there is evidence that fluorescently-tagged CINV1 localizes to the cytoplasm. atinvg mutants have reduced root growth, reduced invertase activity, and increased expression of antioxidant genes under basal conditions. The levels of CINV1 / A/N-InvG transcripts rise in response to a hydrogen peroxide treatment. The protein has been shown to interact with PIP5K9.

bZIP60 consists of a bZIP DNA binding domain followed by a putative transmembrane domain. bZIP60 mRNA is upregulated by the addition of ER stress inducers, tunicamycin (inhibitor of N-linked glycosylation), DTT (inhibitor of disulfide bond formation) and azetin-2-carboxylate (proline analog perturbing protein structure). Upon ER stress, bZIP60 mRNA is spliced by IRE1A and IRE1B to produce bZIP60-S, an active transcription factor without the transmembrane domain. bZIP60-U, a product of unspliced form of bZIP60 mRNA, is localized at the ER membrane and bZIP60-S is localized in the nucleus.
