Screening immediate-early responding genes during the hypersensitive
response (HR) against tobacco mosaic virus infection in tobacco (Nicotiana
tabacum) plants, we identified a gene encoding ornithine decarboxylase.
Subsequent analyses showed that other genes involved in polyamine biosynthesis
were also up-regulated, resulting in the accumulation of polyamines in
apoplasts of tobacco mosaic virus-infected leaves. Inhibitors of polyamine
biosynthesis, -difluoromethyl-ornithine, however, suppressed
accumulation of polyamines, and the rate of HR was reduced. In contrast,
polyamine infiltration into a healthy leaf induced the generation of hydrogen
peroxide and simultaneously caused HR-like cell death. Polyamine oxidase
activity in the apoplast increased up to 3-fold that of the basal level during
the HR, and its suppression with a specific inhibitor, guazatine, resulted in
reduced HR. Because it is established that hydrogen peroxide is one of the
degradation products of polyamines, these results indicate that one of the
biochemical events in the HR is production of polyamines, whose degradation
induces hydrogen peroxide, eventually resulting in hypersensitive cell
death.
