Activation of two mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), wound-induced protein kinase (WIPK) and salicylic acid-induced protein kinase (SIM), is one of the earliest responses that occur in tobacco plants that have been wounded, treated with pathogen-derived elicitors or challenged with avirulent pathogens. We isolated cDNAs for these MAPKs (NbWIPK and NbSIPK) from Nicotiana benthamiana. The function of NbWIPK and NbSIPK in mediating the hypersensitive response (HR) triggered by infiltration with INF1 protein (the major elicitin secreted by Phytophthora infestans), and the defense response to an incompatible bacterial pathogen (Pseudomonas cichorii), was investigated by employing virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) to inhibit expression of the WIPK and SIPK genes in N. benthamiana. Silencing of WIPK or SIPK, or both genes simultaneously, resulted in reduced resistance to P. cichorii, but no change was observed in the timing or extent of HR development after treatment with INF1.
