摘要
The ubiquitous lipid-derived molecules N-acylethanolamines(NAEs)have multiple immune functions in mammals,but their roles and mechanisms in plant defense response during changing environment remain largely unclear.Here,we found that exogenous NAE18:0 and NAE18:2 promoted defense against the necrotrophic pathogen Botrytis cinerea but suppressed defense to the hemi-biotrophic pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv.tomato(Pst)DC3000 in tomato.The knocking-down and overexpression function analysis of the pathogen-responsive NAE synthetic gene PHOSPHOLIPASE Dγ(PLDγ)and hydrolytic gene FATTY ACID AMID HYDROLASE 1(FAAH1)revealed that the NAE pathway is crucial for plant defense response.Using exogenous applications and SA-abolished NahG plants,we unveiled the antagonistic relationship between NAE and SA in plant defense response.Elevated CO_(2) and temperature significantly changed the NAE pathway in response to pathogens,while inhibition of the NAE pathway led to the alternation of environment-mediated defense variations against Pst DC3000 in tomato,indicating that NAE pathway is associated with plant defense variations in response to elevated CO_(2) and temperature.The results herein reveal a new function of NAE in plant defense,and its involvement in environment-mediated defense variation in tomato.These findings shed light on the NAE-based plant defense,which may have relevance to crop disease management in future changing climate.
