Main conclusions

Analyses of the effects of extracellular DNA in Lotus japonicus provide novel insights into the spatial dynamics of ex-self-DNA signaling and potential cross-talk with other responsive pathways.

Abstract

The effects of extracellular DNA (exDNA), particularly self-derived DNA, on the signaling pathways involved in plant–soil negative feedback have emerged as significant areas of research in plant biology. Here we characterize the concentration and species-specific effects of exDNA in the model legume Lotus japonicus. We demonstrate progressive, concentration-dependent inhibitory effects of self-derived DNA on plant growth and physiological performance. Using a split-root system, we further investigate the spatial dynamics of self-DNA signaling. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis confirms the involvement of the jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway in the response to self-DNA and suggest a role of the dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factors in distinguishing between the effects of self- and non-self exDNA.
