Nod Factor Inhibition of Reactive Oxygen Efflux in a Host Legume1

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) efflux was measured from
Medicago truncatula root segments exposed to purified Nod factor and
to poly-GalUA (PGA) heptamers. Nod factor, at concentrations > 100
pM, reduced H2O2 efflux rates to 60% of
baseline levels beginning 20 to 30 min after exposure, whereas the PGA
elicitor, at > 75 nM, caused a rapid increase in
H2O2 efflux to >200% of baseline rates. Pretreatment
of plants with Nod factor alters the effect of PGA by limiting the maximum
H2O2 efflux rate to 125% of that observed for untreated
plants. Two Nod factor-related compounds showed no ability to modulate
peroxide efflux, and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), a nonlegume,
showed no response to 1 nM Nod factor. Seven M. truncatula
mutants, lacking the ability to make nodules, were tested for Nod factor
effects on H2O2 efflux. The nfp mutant was
blocked for suppression of peroxide efflux, whereas the dmi1 and
dmi2 mutants, previously shown to be blocked for early Nod factor
responses, showed a wild-type peroxide efflux modulation. These data
demonstrate that exposure to Nod factor suppresses the activity of the
reactive oxygen-generating system used for plant defense responses.
