Role of various plants hormones in biotic and abiotic stress response.
Abstract
Plant hormones play a critical role in regulating plant developmental processes. Jasmonic acid, salicylic acid and brassinosteroids have been recently added to the list of plant hormones apart from auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and volatile hormone ethylene. Besides their regulatory role in plant development, plant hormones, ethylene, Jasmonic acid and salicylic acid play key roles in the plant defense response while as auxins, gibberellins, abscisic acid, cytokinins and brassinosteroids are known to modulate their effects. For an effective response to biotic stresses, the signaling pathways of different hormones are integrated at different levels enabling crosstalk between them. In this chapter, I will analyze how plant hormones signal defense response and interact with each other through crosstalk to regulate plant defense.

1. Introduction
Plant productivity is threatened by biotic and abiotic stress. In order to feed the world population of over 7 billion at the moment, productivity needs to be safeguarded against biotic and abiotic stresses. Biotic stress is caused due to attacks of viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes and other pathogens and pests. Pathogens are usually categorized into biotrophs and necrotrophs. Although the former penetrate the epidermal cells, multiply inside the intercellular spaces and feed on the living host tissue the latter kill the host cells and then feed on the cell remains. Biotrophs are mostly host-specific, the nectrophs have a broader host range [1]. Agricultural intensification has already led to increased soil pollution and land degradation problems. Therefore, understanding the natural mechanisms of defense in plants against various kinds of stresses is important to exploit it in a sustainable and environment-friendly manner. Of the various mechanisms plants have developed to combat biotic stress, hormones are of primary importance. Plant hormones are biochemicals that are synthesized at one location in plants and bring about the desired effect at the same or different location, at unimaginably low concentrations. Plant hormones are diverse in their chemical nature and biological functions derived from amino acids (IAA, ethylene), lipids (Jasmonic acid), from the isoprenoid (cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid etc) and chorismate (salicylic acid) pathways (Figure 1). There are many biomolecules that have been added to the list of plant or phytohormones of late, which include jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), strigolactones (SL), brassinosteroids (BR) and peptides, besides auxins (IAA), gibberellins (GA), abscisic acid (ABA), cytokinins (CK) and ethylene (ET) that have been there since a long time. Salicylic acid, jasmonic acid and ethylene play very important roles in plant biotic stress response [2] while as, auxins, abscisic acid and gibberellins etc. modulate it. An overview of the important roles of major plant hormones is presented in Table 1. The role of hormones in plant growth and development is largely known and mechanisms of their biosynthesis have been elucidated in the majority of the cases, what remains to be fully understood is their mediation of the defense response in plants. In this chapter, I discuss how these hormones mediate the plant defense response and also assess how their effects are modulated by other hormones.

2. The major players in the plant defense
Coronatine Insensitive Receptor (COI1) and JAZ (Jasmonate-ZIM domain) proteins mediate JA-signaling pathway [24, 48, 49]. The others involved in JA signaling include JASMONATE INSENSITIVE 1/MYC2 (JIN1/MYC2) and several members of the APETALA2/ETHYLENE-RESPONSIVE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) family [19, 50]. COI1 forms a part of the E3 –ubiquitin degradation complex as SCF COI1 complex. The SCF consists of Skp-1/Cullin/F-box. JAZ is a repressor of the JA response. SCF COI1 complex binds with JAZ repressors at higher JA concentrations and this leads to ubiquitination and degradation of JAZ mediated by 26S proteasome [1]. The JA signaling pathway may follow two paths one is the MYC pathway and another is the ERF pathway. Wounding and insect feeding induces the MYC branch which further involves MYC2, MYC3 and MYC4 - basic helix–loop–helix leucine zipper transcription factors [1]. In absence of JA-Ile JAZ proteins interact with JIN1/MYC2 and inhibit transcriptional regulation of JA-responsive genes [19]. Interaction of JAZ with MYC proteins competitively inhibits their interaction with the MED25 subunit of the Transcriptional Mediator Complex [1, 51]. This causes the expression of several JA responsive genes including VSP2 (vegetative storage protein), JA synthesis gene LOX2 and JA signaling repressor JAZ genes. ERF pathway is stimulated by necrotrophic pathogens. As the name indicates this branch is regulated by ET; AP2/ERF-domain transcription factors ORA59 and ERF (ERF1, ERF2, ERF5 and ERF6) control this branch. ORA59 and ERF1 bind to GCC-box motif through ERF domain and activate the expression of PDF1.2 which is the marker gene of this pathway [1, 19, 52, 53, 54, 55]. The mode of interaction between JAZ and ERFs is not known. EIN3 directly interacts with JAZ which represses the expression of
Coi1 mutants lacking JA response are more susceptible to necrotrophic pathogens including
SA signaling involves NPR1 (non-expressor of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes, a protein with ankyrin repeat [8, 72]. NPR1 is an oligomer formed by intramolecular disulfide bridges under uninduced conditions [8, 73]. SA induces de-oligomerization of NPR1 releasing active monomers which migrate to the cell’s nucleus inducing expression of PR genes [8, 74]; only the monomeric forms can interact with the TGA (TGACG binding) transcription factors which are bZIP proteins [8, 19, 75]. This facilitates the binding of TGA transcription factors with promoters of NPR1 dependent genes [8, 76]. The triple mutant tga2 tga5 tga6 does not respond to SA and does not have SAR [8, 77]. Both NPR1 and TGA undergo nitrosylation which increases the DNA binding ability of the latter. Thiol S-nitrosylation on the other hand causes oligomerization of the NPR1 leading to its inactivation [8, 74]. NPR1 undergoes phosphorylation and proteasome-degradation thereby allowing its turnover [78]. NRR3/4 also interacts with TGA and mutants nrp3/4 over accumulate NPR1 leading to faulty SAR [8]. The binding of NPR3 and NPR4 with Cullin 3 ubiquitin E3 ligase causes SA-dependent NPR1 degradation [8, 79]. The binding of NPR with SA causes a conformational change in the NPR1 required for NPR1 dependent PR gene expression. NPR is also important in epigenetic effect-dependent trans-generational immunity in plants [8, 80]. Pathogen resistance in Monocots is enhanced by over expression of NPR1 [8, 81].
3. The modulators of the plant defense
Important auxin-responsive genes include
Auxins down-regulate jasmonic acid biosynthesis genes in
The role of cytokinins in plant defense was first recorded from tobacco plants with down-regulated S-adenosyl homocysteine hydrolases; the plants had higher resistance to tobacco mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus, potato virus X, and potato virus Y and also showed increased levels of CK and higher levels CK-related developmental defects [24, 141]. Cytokinin deficient plants have higher stress tolerance [40, 43, 142, 143, 144]. Several cytokinin receptors, histidine phosphotransfer proteins and transcription factors mediate CK signaling. Three histidine kinases (AHK2, AHK3, and AHK4/WOODEN LEG) working as cytokinin receptors have been identified in
4. Pathogen recognition reactions
A set of conserved pathogen proteins are important for plants to recognize the infection, these Microbe-Associated Molecular Patterns (MAMP), also called as Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMP), are recognized and bound by Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) present in the host cell plasma membrane. This MAMP-PRR binding triggers an immune response called as MAMP Triggered Immunity (MTI) [24, 178, 179]. Microbes synthesize effectors which interfere with MTI and help pathogens evade recognition by the host immune system increasing their virulence and making plants susceptible to the pathogen and deregulating the host immunity, this process is known as Effector Triggered Susceptibility (ETS) [24, 180]. Bacteria acquire large repertoires of type III Effectors (T3E) and inject them through a syringe-like type III secretion system into their host plant.
5. Hormone crosstalk in defense
Hormone crosstalk is the interaction of various plant hormones in a highly complex yet ordered manner [197, 198]. Crosstalk between various hormones is intensive in defense response [1, 5, 40, 45, 199]; it is mediated through regulatory proteins, hormone receptors, protein kinases, transcription factors etc. involved in hormone biosynthesis, degradation or signaling [5, 10, 40, 200, 201]. Hormonal cross-talk becomes increasingly important when plants are exposed to multiple pathogen stress simultaneously. Plants have to trade-off between defense and growth, therefore, the impact of individual hormones may not be as important as the overall interaction (positive or negative) among them. Numerous studies bring to light the flexible and coordinated interplay between growth and stress-related hormones especially JA and GA in regulating plant defense response [40, 150, 171, 202]; antagonistic interaction between SA and JA has been well researched [177, 203], the crosstalk between GA and SA was known only recently [10, 167]. Crosstalk enables pathogenesis-related genes affect response to abiotic stress [10, 204]. Crosstalk aids plants to gear up their defense system against various kinds of pathogens; however, all the aspects of this phenomenon in plant defense are not known.
6. Molecular Mechanism of hormone crosstalk
Phosphorylation Cascade is a common second messenger which integrates various hormone responses. JAZ and DELLA proteins mediate the antagonistic interactions between JA and GA [198, 205, 206]. A great deal of information exists on how DELLAs interact with JAZ proteins [168, 169]. GA response in
7. Concluding remarks and future perspectives
Allocation of resources and energy to defense in absence of threat would constrain growth and developmental processes [177, 218, 219, 220]. Therefore, a hormone-based defense mechanism in plants evolved to prevent loss of resources in absence of stress [177, 220] slowing down the potential adaptation of putative attackers to the biochemical defense system of plants [177, 220]. During priming plants subjected to pathogen attack respond more strongly to subsequent pathogen attacks, resources here are not committed until the threat returns making priming a relatively cost-effective defense strategy [177, 221]. Moreover, the primed plants treated with a low, non-effective concentration of defense hormones also respond better to the pathogen attack than the non-primed ones [177, 221]. Priming has parallels with the trans-generational defense in plants, such as SA-dependent SAR and JA-dependent inherited defense as trans-generational priming has been described in some plants [80, 177, 214]. Epigenetically inherited changes can strongly affect the defense response including priming in plants [80, 177, 222].
Our understanding of plant defense response has considerably improved in the past few years due to modified and transgenic plants species [177]. Transgenic plants constitutively expressing some hormones have been reported to show improved resistance to pathogens [177, 223, 224]. But, such an “effective” resistance response is also known to incur the costs paid in terms of altered development e.g. dwarfism, development of spontaneous lesions in different organs, accelerated pace of senescence, delayed flowering, sterility and lower seed output [177, 223, 224, 225].
Dissecting hormone response specifically in the event of a pathogen attack is complicated by the complex regulatory pathways interconnecting at several different levels. In nature, a plant has to deal with both abiotic and biotic stresses therefore, its response to the environment, in general, has to be concerted and balanced. Ideally, a plant resistant to biotic or abiotic stress should not be hampered in terms of its growth, development and overall productivity. It is a generally conceded fact that the traditional methods of crop improvement have reached their peak and are now leveling off. Thus, molecular and genetic engineering methods provide reliable alternative means of crop improvement. Phytohormone engineering is seen as a new opportunity to maintain susceptible crop production, especially in the climate change scenario. Elucidating the path of signal transduction in stress response is an important step in manipulating the role of phytohormones in stress response. In the future plant defense response mediated by hormones should be studied under field conditions with model crop plants so that a better picture of the effectiveness of the hormone-mediated disease control, associated trade-offs in growth and development parameters, and impact on the performance of the plants are brought to light. A clear understanding of the hormone homeostasis at the molecular level is required to manipulate it and use it as a tool for effective defense against crop pathogens.
