The role of the gasotransmitter carbon monoxide (Co) in signaling and adaptive processes in plants has been studied insufficiently. There are indirect data indicating jasmonate signaling participation in realization of CO effects, but the possible connection between carbon monoxide and jasmonate signaling during plant adaptation to salt stress remains unclear. We studied the carbon monoxide donor hemin effect on the Arabidopsis of a wild-type (Col-0) and defective in jasmonate signaling coi1 and jin1 mutants response to the salt stress. Arabidopsis thaliana 4-week-old plants were grown on a modified Hoagland's medium. plants were incubated for 24 h in usual or 2 µM hemin containing culture medium, then transferred to 150 mM NaCl containing media and incubated for 24 h before the medium was replaced with the usual one. It was shown that salt stress caused water deficiency and superoxide dismutase and catalase activity decrease in the plants of all three genotypes. Treatment with 2 μM hemin stabilized the levels of catalase activity and photosynthetic pigments and increased guaiacol peroxidase activity in a wild-type, but not in coi1 and jin1 mutant plants after stress induction. Treated with hemin wild-type Arabidopsis plants accumulated more proline and sugars in response to stress than treated coi1 and jin1 mutants. It was concluded that jasmonate signaling can be involved in adaptive processes induced by exogenous carbon monoxide. K e y w o r d s: carbon monoxide, jasmonate signaling, salt resistance, wild type Arabidopsis thaliana, coi1 and jin1 mutants, antioxidant enzymes, pigments, proline.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
