Antagonistic interaction between abscisic acid and jasmonate-ethylene signaling pathways modulates defense gene expression and disease resistance in Arabidopsis. Plant Cell 16 (2004) 3460-3479. On the basis of genetic analysis of JA-, ET- and ABA-insensitive mutants, this work demonstrates that the ABA and JA/ET-signaling pathways are mutually antagonistic, and modulate defense and stress-responsive gene expression in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. The authors also show that AtMYC2, a positive regulator of ABA signaling, negatively regulates JA/ET signaling. Both mutations that cause ABA deficiencies and mutations of AtMYC2 increased the expression of JA/ET-regulated defense genes and resistance against Fusarium oxysporum.

This work identifies and functionally analyzes the roles of the MEKK1-MKK2-MPK4/MPK6 cascade in cold- and salt-stress signaling. mkk2-null mutant plants display hypersensitivity to cold and salt stress, whereas MKK2 overexpressor plants have enhanced tolerance of cold and salt stresses, and show changes in the expression of 152 genes. Consequently, the authors propose that the MKK2 pathway mediates cold- and salt-stress responses and modulates stress tolerance through the expression of specific genes.

Plant Cell 16 (2004) 3386-3399. Using a sophisticated approach that encompasses biochemical and genetic methods, the authors describe a biological function for the MKK4-MPK6 cascade in a pathogen response that regulates ethylene biosynthesis. They found that two ACS molecules act as substrates of MPK6, which is activated by MKK4. Phosphorylation by MPK6 leads to the accumulation of ACS protein and to elevated levels of ACS activity in vivo, consequently increasing ethylene production. This represents the first evidence of a direct plant MAPK phosphorylation target, and demonstrates that ethylene is biosynthesized in response to stress signaling.

RAR1 positively controls steady state levels of barley MLA resistance proteins and enables sufficient MLA6 accumulation for effective resistance. Plant Cell 16 (2004) 3480-3495. Transgenic plants expressing epitope-tagged Mla variants are used to describe the effects of the rar1 (required for Mla resistance1) mutation upon the abundance of the barley powdery mildew resistance R proteins MLA1 and MLA6. This analysis of rar1 mutants led the authors to propose that an effective resistance response requires a threshold level of R protein. In addition, the authors demonstrate that MLA protein stability decreased under high-temperature conditions. Transgene transcription levels and the amounts of RAR1 and SGT1 (SUPPRESSOR OF THE G2 ALLELE OF skp1-4) proteins remained unchanged during stress treatment.
