Visualization and Quantification of Apoplastic ROS by Plant Immune NADPH Oxidase Utilizing Chemiluminescence
摘要
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in plant innate immunity. When plants recognize pathogens, apoplastic superoxide (O2−) is produced by a plasma membrane NADPH oxidase (RBOH; Respiratory Burst Oxidase Homolog), which is immediately dismutated to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Nicotiana benthamiana NbRBOHB is responsible for both the transient pattern-triggered immunity (PTI)-ROS burst and the robust effector-triggered immunity (ETI)-ROS burst. Potato (Solanum tuberosum) StRBOHB and StRBOHC are phosphorylated by potato calcium-dependent protein kinases, StCDPK4 and StCDPK5, resulting in the ROS burst. The ROS contribute to the potato resistance to a virulent isolate of late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans. Here, we introduce an apoplastic ROS detection protocol utilizing L-012-derived chemiluminescence in response to Agrobacterium-mediated co-expression of StRBOHC and StCDPK5 in N. benthamiana leaves.
