- Abstract
Salicylic acid (SA) plays a crucial role not only in defence against pathogen attacks, but also in abiotic stress responses. Recently, some key steps of SA signalling outlined the importance of redox state-dependent processes. This study explores the role of glutathione transferases (GSTs) in the transcriptional reprogramming of redox status-related genes in seven-day-old wild type and Atgst mutant Arabidopsis thaliana plants. The timing of redox changes, detected by the redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein (roGFP2), differed in wild type roots treated with 10 μM or 100 μM SA. Our results verified how the applied SA concentrations had different effect on the expression of oxidative stress- and redox-related genes, among them on the expression of AtGSTF8 and AtGSTU19 genes. Lower vitality and less negative EGSH values were specific characteristics of the Atgst mutants compared to the wild type plants throughout the experiment. Changes in the redox potential were only modest in the mutants after SA treatments. A slightly modified gene expression pattern was observed in control conditions and after 1 h of SA treatments in Atgst mutants compared to Col-0 roots. These data originating from the whole roots provide indirect evidence for the role of the investigated AtGSTF8 and AtGSTU19 isoenzymes in the transduction of the redox signal. Our results demonstrate that the investigated Arabidopsis GSTs have a role in maintaining the levels of reactive oxygen species- and redox homeostasis and are involved in transcriptional reprogramming in the roots.
