The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) body is a characteristic structure
derived from ER and is referred to as a proteinase-sorting system that
assists the plant cell under various stress conditions. Fluorescent ER
bodies were observed in transgenic plants of Arabidopsis expressing
green fluorescent protein fused with an ER retention signal. ER bodies
were widely distributed in the epidermal cells of whole seedlings. In
contrast, rosette leaves had no ER bodies. We found that wound stress
induced the formation of many ER bodies in rosette leaves. ER bodies
were also induced by treatment with methyl jasmonate (MeJA), a plant
hormone involved in the defense against wounding and chewing by
insects. The induction of ER bodies was suppressed by ethylene. An
electron microscopic analysis showed that typical ER bodies were
induced in the non-transgenic rosette leaves treated with MeJA. An
experiment using coi1 and etr1-4 mutant
plants showed that the induction of ER bodies was strictly coupled with
the signal transduction of MeJA and ethylene. These results suggested
that the formation of ER bodies is a novel and unique type of
endomembrane system in the response of plant cells to environmental
stresses. It is possible that the biological function of ER bodies is
related to defense systems in higher plants.
