High impact information on BGL2

  • The expression of jasmonic acid and ethylene regulated PATHOGENESIS-RELATED genes, Basic Chitinase and beta-1,3-Glucanase, was upregulated in 35S:HDA19 plants but downregulated in HDA19-RNAi plants [1].
  • Expression of Pti4, Pti5, or Pti6 in Arabidopsis activated the expression of the salicylic acid-regulated genes PR1 and PR2 [2].
  • To identify mutants involved in the regulation of PR genes and the onset of SAR, we transformed Arabidopsis with a reporter gene containing the promoter of a beta-1,3-glucanase-encoding PR gene (BGL2) and the coding region of beta-glucuronidase (GUS) [3].
  • The virulent strain, P. syringae pv maculicola ES4326, multiplied 10(5)-fold in Arabidopsis leaves and strongly elicited BG1, BG2, and BG3 mRNA accumulation but had only a modest effect on PAL mRNA accumulation [4].
  • These results suggest that the Arabidopsis PAL and BG genes may be activated by distinct signal transduction pathways and show that differences in plant gene induction by virulent and avirulent strains can be attributed to a cloned presumptive avr gene [4].
 

Biological context of BGL2

 

Associations of BGL2 with chemical compounds

  • Aphid feeding on rosette leaves induced transcription of two genes associated with salicylic acid (SA)-dependent responses to pathogens (PR-1 and BGL2) 10- and 23-fold, respectively [6].
  • In addition, the pathogenesis-related (PR) genes encoding beta-1,3-glucanase, osmotin, and PR1 were constitutively expressed in 35S::VR-EIL lines without added ethylene, and were hyperinduced in response to ethylene treatment [7].
  • We found that expression of the CAD1 gene and other W-box containing genes, such as NPR1 and PR2, was promoted by salicylic acid (SA) and benzothiadiazole (BTH) as a SA agonist [8].
 

Other interactions of BGL2

  • Analysis of the expression profiles of PR-1, BGL2, PR-5 and PDF1.2 in eds14, eds15, and eds16 revealed differences from the wild type for all the lines [9].
  • We characterized two Arabidopsis genes linked in a tandem array, BG4 and BG5, encoding putative novel isoforms of beta-1,3-glucanase [10].
