Molecular details of tomato extensin and glycine-rich protein gene expression.

Abstract：

:In a recent publication (Plant Molecular Biology 16: 547-565 (1991)), Showalter et al. described the isolation and initial characterization of fifteen extensin and extensin-like tomato cDNAs. These cDNAs were determined to fall into five distinct classes; class I and II clones encoded extensins, class III and V clones encoded glycine-rich proteins (GRPs), and class IV clones encoded a portion of a GRP sequence on one DNA strand and a portion of an extensin sequence on the other DNA strand. In this publication, a more detailed analysis of the expression of these cDNA classes was performed with respect to wounding in various tomato organs, development, kinetics and systemic extent of the wound response, ethylene treatment, abscisic acid (ABA) treatment, and drought stress by using RNA gel blot hybridizations. In general, extensin gene expression was readily detected in stems and roots, but not in leaves. With both class I and II extensin cDNA probes, wound-induced accumulation of mRNA in stems was first detected between 4 and 8 h after wounding with maximal accumulation occurring after 12 h. Moreover, these extensin wound responses were detected locally at the wound site but not systemically. Expression of the class III GRP was largely limited to wounded stem tissue. Initial detection and maximal accumulation of the class III GRP mRNA was similar to the extensins mRNAs; however, this GRP wound response occurred both locally and systemically. Additionally, abscisic acid treatment and drought stress resulted in the marked accumulation of the class III GRP mRNA in tomato stems, but did not alter the expression of the other cDNA classes. In contrast, expression of the class V GRP occurred in stems and roots and to a lesser extent in leaves and decreased in response to wounding over a 24 h time period. The class V GRP wound response was further characterized by an early, transient accumulation of mRNA occurring 2-4 h after wounding in stems and by its local nature.
