This work highlights the molecular basis of at least one mechanism for chloroplast-to-nucleus signalling. The authors show that the tetrapyrrole intermediate Mg-protoporphyrin (Mg-ProtoIX) acts as a molecule that signals between the chloroplast and nucleus. Accumulation of Mg-ProtoIX is both necessary and sufficient to regulate the expression of many nuclear genes encoding chloroplastic proteins that are associated with photosynthesis.

Excellent work in which the authors illustrate the role of red-light-sensing mechanisms in plant pathogen interactions. The induction of PR1 by SA and its functional analogues was found to correlate strictly with the activity of the signaling pathway controlled by the PHYA and PHYB photoreceptors. These findings presumably represent only the tip of the iceberg of the many-fold influences of light-dependent signal transduction on plant disease defence mechanisms.

Virology 2002, 295:307-319. This article describes a negative influence of the oxygen-evolving complex and of PSII on RNA-virus replication. These influences serve to highlight the many levels at which photosynthesis and light perception can influence the regulation of plant disease defence mechanisms.

Furthermore, they show that the characterisation of Arabidopsis mutants in natural conditions is essential for the correct description of their phenotypes.

An excellent paper in which the authors describe a generic method for identification of specific mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signalling cascades in plants. The authors identify a complete plant MAP kinase cascade (comprising MEKK1, MKK4/MKK5 and MPK3/MPK6) and WRKY22/WRKY29 transcription factors that function downstream of the flagellin receptor FLS2, a leucine-rich-repeat (LRR) receptor kinase.

50. Wildermuth MC, Dewdney J, Wu G, Ausubel F: Isochorismate synthase is required to synthesize salicylic acid for plant defence. Nature 2001, 414:562-565. The authors present important findings which demonstrate that the SA synthesis pathway, or part of this pathway, is localised in the chloroplast. Figure 2 of this review clearly shows that SA levels increase during acclimation to high light and suggests that SA plays a role in acclimation to EEE. Therefore, SA does not appear to be a specific signalling molecule for disease defence responses alone. The full spectrum of SA functions and the nature of SA signalling in plants are not yet clear and remain to be elucidated.
