The research activity of our group focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate plant resistance to biotic agents (viroids, viruses, bacteria, fungi) using biochemical, molecular, and metabolomic approaches, with the goal of identifying the roles of genes, proteins, and metabolites involved in the plant’s response to pathogen attack.
Currently, we are exploring the intra- and inter-plant signaling role of three groups of signaling molecules involved in tomato responses against bacteria: (1) salicylic acid and its methyl ester, (2) monoterpenoids, and (3) green leaf volatile esters.
1. We have performed metabolic analyses using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to study the defensive response of ‘Rio Grande’ Pto tomato plants infected with two strains of the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000. One strain carries the AvrPto gene, resulting in a resistant (incompatible) interaction, while the other strain, lacking this gene, leads to a susceptible (compatible) interaction with strong disease symptoms. The comparison of volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles revealed significant differences. In the incompatible interaction, leaves emitted (Z)-3-hexenyl esters such as (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate and butanoate, and hydroxylated monoterpenes such as α-terpineol, 4-terpineol, and linalool. In contrast, the compatible interaction was characterized by the emission of methyl salicylate and monoterpenes like limonene and α-pinene (López-Gresa et al. 2017).
We also found that some of these VOCs exhibit in vitro antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas, and their exogenous application to tomato plants induced defense gene expression, stomatal closure, and significantly increased resistance to infection (López-Gresa et al. 2018). These results suggest a dual role for these VOCs in tomato: as protective compounds and defense inducers. Additionally, due to their chemical nature, they may play a biological role in airborne plant-to-plant communication. We have filed a patent (PCT / ES2018 / 070) for the use and application method of (Z)-3-hexenyl butanoate (HB) as a stomatal-closing metabolite to protect plants from pathogen attacks and drought. Beyond this biological role, recent results (Payá et al. 2020) show that exogenous HB application in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) accelerates ripening.
2. We have demonstrated the induction of various translation factors and ribosomal proteins in tomato plants infected by Citrus Exocortis Viroid (CEVd). This result indicates that a non-coding pathogen can cause changes in the transcriptional machinery. In particular, elongation factors 1 and 2 (eEF1A and eEF2), and the translation initiation factor eIF5A were identified. A reproducible interaction between eEF1A and CEVd was also demonstrated (Lisón et al. 2013).
More recently, we showed that CEVd induces ribosomal stress in tomato (Cottilli et al. 2019). Our latest findings (Vazquez et al. 2020) using Never ripe (Nr) ethylene-insensitive tomato mutants suggest an important role for this phytohormone in the ribosomal stress triggered by viroid infection.
3. We have demonstrated the role of flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) in tomato defense against viruses (Campos et al. 2019) and the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae DC3000 (Zacarés et al. 2007, López-Gresa et al. 2011, Campos et al. 2014b).
We have identified new phenolic compounds whose synthesis is induced in both compatible and incompatible interactions between tomato and various pathogens. One such metabolite, trans-feruloylnorepinephrine (t-FNA), is a novel compound with strong antioxidant activity (International Patent WO2011ES70269 20110415). Transgenic tomato plants overexpressing the THT gene, a key gene in HCAA biosynthesis, showed increased resistance to Pseudomonas syringae DC3000.
4. We have gathered solid evidence that gentisic acid (GA), a metabolic derivative of salicylic acid (SA), acts as an additional complementary signal to SA in activating tomato defenses against pathogens (López-Gresa et al. 2016; Bellés et al. 1999). We also found that GA and SA may serve as signaling molecules in RNA silencing against viruses and viroids (Campos et al. 2014a, López-Gresa et al. 2016). More recently, we have shown that GABA plays a defensive role in the response of tomato plants to CEVd (López-Gresa et al. 2019).
