説明

<p>Salicylic acid (SA) is known to be involved in the immunity against Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. michiganensis (Cmm) that causes bacterial canker in tomato. To identify the candidate genes associated with SA-inducible Cmm resistance, transcriptome analysis was conducted via RNA sequencing in tomato plants treated with SA. SA treatment upregulated various defense-associated genes, such as PR and GST genes, in tomato cotyledons. A comparison of SA- and Cmm-responsive genes revealed that both SA treatment and Cmm infection commonly upregulated a large number of genes. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis indicated that the GO terms associated with plant immunity were over-represented in both SA- and Cmm-induced genes. The genes commonly downregulated by both SA treatment and Cmm infection were associated with the cell cycle and may be involved in growth and immunity trade-off through cell division. After SA treatment, several proteins that were predicted to play a role in immune signaling, such as resistance gene analogs, Ca2+ sensors, and WRKY transcription factors, were transcriptionally upregulated. The W-box element, which was targeted by WRKYs, was over-represented in the promoter regions of genes upregulated by both SA treatment and Cmm infection, supporting the speculation that WRKYs are important for the SA-mediated immunity against Cmm. Prediction of protein–protein interactions suggested that genes encoding receptor-like kinases and EF-hand proteins play an important role in immune signaling. Thus, various candidate genes involved in SA-inducible Cmm resistance were identified.</p>
