Abstract
Plant MYB transcription factors are implicated in resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we demonstrate that an R2-R3 MYB transcription factor, AtMYB44, plays a role in the plant defence response to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (PstDC3000). The expression of AtMYB44 was upregulated upon pathogen infection and treatments with defence-related phytohormones. Transgenic plants overexpressing AtMYB44 (35S-Ms) exhibited greater levels of PR1 gene expression, cell death, callose deposition and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation in leaves infected with PstDC3000. Consequently, 35S-M lines displayed enhanced resistance to PstDC3000. In contrast, the atmyb44 T-DNA insertion mutant was more susceptible to PstDC3000 and exhibited decreased PR1 gene expression upon infection. Using double mutants constructed via crosses of 35S-M lines with NahG transgenic plants and nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes1 mutant (npr1–1), we demonstrated that the enhanced PR1 gene expression and PstDC3000 resistance in 35S-M plants occur mainly through the salicylic acid signalling pathway.
