abstract = {BackgroundGrowing large crop monocultures and heavily using
pesticides enhances the evolution of pesticide-insensitive
pests and pathogens. To reduce pesticide use in crop
cultivation, the application of priming-active compounds
(PrimACs) is a welcome alternative. PrimACs strengthen the
plant immune system and could thus help to protect plants
with lower amounts of pesticides. PrimACs can be identified,
for example, by their capacity to enhance the respiratory
activity of parsley cells in culture as determined by the
oxygen transfer rate (OTR) using the respiration activity
monitoring system (RAMOS) or its miniaturized version,
µRAMOS. The latter was designed for with suspensions of
bacteria and yeast cells in microtiter plates (MTPs). So
far, RAMOS or µRAMOS have not been applied to adult plants
or seedlings, which would overcome the limitation of
(µ)RAMOS to plant suspension cell cultures.ResultsIn this
work, we introduce a modified µRAMOS for analysis of plant
seedlings. The novel device allows illuminating the
seedlings and records the respiratory activity in each well
of a 48-well MTP. To validate the suitability of the setup
for identifying novel PrimAC in Arabidopsis thaliana,
seedlings were grown in MTP for seven days and treated with
the known PrimAC salicylic acid (SA; positive control) and
the PrimAC candidate methyl
1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxylate
(Tyr020). Twenty-eight h after treatment, the seedlings were
elicited with flg22, a 22-amino acid peptide of bacterial
flagellin. Upon elicitation, the respiratory activity was
monitored. The evaluation of the OTR course reveals Tyr020
as a likely PrimAC. The priming-inducing activity of Tyr020
was confirmed using molecular biological analyses in A.
thaliana seedlings.ConclusionWe disclose the suitability of
µRAMOS for identifying PrimACs in plant seedlings. The
difference in OTR during a night period between primed and
unprimed plants was distinguishable after elicitation with
flg22. Thus, it has been shown that the µRAMOS device can
be used for a reliable screening for PrimACs in plant
seedlings.},
