The effect of methyl jasmonate treatment on gene expression in sugarcane roots signalling between roots and shoots was studied. A collection of 829 ESTs were obtained from sugarcane roots treated with the defence-regulator methyl jasmonate (MJ) treatment. A subset of 747 of these were combined with 4793 sugarcane ESTs obtained from stem tissues in a cDNA microarray and experiments undertaken to identify genes that were induced in roots 24-120 h following treatment with MJ. Two data analysis systems (t-statistic and tRMA) were used to analyse the microarray results and these methods identified a common set of 21 ESTs corresponding to transcripts significantly induced by MJ in roots and 23 that were reduced in expression following MJ treatment. The induction of six transcripts identified in the microarray analysis was tested and confirmed using northern blotting. Homologues of genes encoding lipoxygenase and PR-10 proteins were induced 824 It after MJ treatment while the other four selected transcripts were induced at later time points. Following treatment of roots with MJ, the lipoxygenase homologue, but not the PR-10 homologue, was induced in untreated stem and leaf tissues. The PR-10 homologue and a PR-1 homologue, but not the lipoxygenase homologue, were induced in untreated tissues after the application of SA to roots. Repeated foliar application of MJ had no apparent effects on plant growth and was demonstrated to increase lipoxygenase transcripts in roots, but did not increase transcript levels-of other genes tested. These results lay a foundation for further studies of induced pest and disease resistance in sugarcane roots. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
