Small RNAs play an important role in plant innate immunity. However, their regulatory function in induced systemic resistance (ISR) triggered by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria remains unclear. Here, using Arabidopsis as a model system, one plant endogenous small RNA, miR472, was identified as an important regulator involved in the process of Bacillus cereus AR156 ISR against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000. The results revealed that miR472 was down-regulated with B. cereus AR156 treatment by comparing small RNA profiles and northern blot analysis of Arabidopsis with or without B. cereus AR156 treatment. Plants overexpressing miR472 showed higher susceptibility to Pst DC3000; by contrast, plant lines with miR472 knocked down/out showed the opposite. The transcriptome sequencing revealed thousands of differentially expressed genes in the transgenic plants. Target prediction showed that miR472 targets lots of coiled coil nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) type resistance genes and the expression of these targets was negatively correlated with the expression of miR472. In addition, transgenic plants with knocked-out target genes exhibited decreased resistance to Pst DC3000 invasion. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR results indicated that target genes of miR472 were expressed during the process of B. cereus AR156-triggered ISR. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the miR472-mediated silencing pathway is an important regulatory checkpoint occurring via post-transcriptional control of NBS-LRR genes during B. cereus AR156-triggered ISR in Arabidopsis.
