Jasmonic acid-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is a plant defence hormone whose cellular levels are elevated upon herbivory and regulate defence signalling. Despite their pivotal role, our understanding of the rapid cellular perception of bioactive JA-Ile is limited. This study identifies cell type-specific JA-Ile-induced Ca signal and its role in self-amplification and plant elicitor peptide receptor (PEPR)-mediated signalling. Using the Ca reporter, R-GECO1 in Arabidopsis, we have characterized a monophasic and sustained JA-Ile-dependent Ca signature in leaf epidermal cells. The rapid Ca signal is independent of positive feedback by the JA-Ile receptor, COI1 and the transporter, JAT1. Microarray analysis identified up-regulation of receptors, PEPR1 and PEPR2 upon JA-Ile treatment. The pepr1 pepr2 double mutant in R-GECO1 background exhibits impaired external JA-Ile induced Ca elevation and impacts the canonical JA-Ile responsive genes. JA responsive transcription factor, MYC2 binds to the G-Box motif of PEPR1 and PEPR2 promoter and activates their expression upon JA-Ile treatment and in myc2 mutant, this is reduced. External JA-Ile amplifies AtPep-PEPR pathway by increasing the AtPep precursor, PROPEP expression. Our work shows a previously unknown non-canonical PEPR-JA-Ile-Ca -MYC2 signalling module through which plants sense JA-Ile rapidly to amplify both AtPep-PEPR and jasmonate signalling in undamaged cells.

In plants, cytoskeletal proteins assemble into dynamic polymers that play numerous roles in diverse fundamental cellular processes, including endocytosis, vesicle trafficking, and the spatial distribution of organelles and protein complexes. Plant elicitor peptides (Peps) are damage/danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that are perceived by the receptor-like kinases PEP RECEPTOR 1 (PEPR1) and PEPR2 to enhance innate immunity and inhibit root growth in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). To date, however, there is little evidence that the actin cytoskeleton of the host cell participates in DAMP-induced innate immunity.

Article Synopsis
- Plant Elicitor Peptides (Peps) typically induce immune responses and inhibit root growth, but this study discovered they can also promote root hair growth independently of their usual receptors, PEPR1 and PEPR2.
- Researchers found that certain gene promoters were highly active in root hairs, and disrupting a specific gene led to reduced root hair density and length, highlighting its importance in root hair development.
- The study suggested that Peps regulate root hair formation by modulating specific gene expression and involve calcium signaling, revealing new insights into the role of Peps in plant growth.

Plant elicitor peptides (Peps) are recognized by two receptor-like kinases, PEPR1 and PEPR2, and trigger plant immunity responses and root growth inhibition. In this study, we reveal that the Pep-PEPR system triggers root immunity responses in Arabidopsis. Pep1 incubation initiated callose and lignin deposition in roots of wild type but not in that of pepr1 pepr2 mutant seedlings.

When perceiving microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) or plant-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), plants alter their root growth and development by displaying a reduction in the root length and the formation of root hairs and lateral roots. The exogenous application of a MAMP peptide, flg22, was shown to affect root growth by suppressing meristem activity. In addition to MAMPs, the DAMP peptide PEP1 suppresses root growth while also promoting root hair formation.
