EARLY RESPONSIVE TO DEHYDRATION 15 (ERD15) is rapidly induced in response to various abiotic and biotic stress stimuli in Arabidopsis thaliana. Modulation of ERD15 levels by overexpression or RNAi silencing altered the responsiveness of the transgenic plants to the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA). Overexpression of ERD15 reduced the ABA sensitivity of Arabidopsis manifested in decreased drought tolerance and in impaired ability of the plants to increase their freezing tolerance in response to this hormone. In contrast, RNAi silencing of ERD15 resulted in plants that were hypersensitive to ABA and showed improved tolerance to both drought and freezing as well as impaired seed germination in the presence of ABA. The modulation of ERD15 levels not only affected abiotic stress tolerance but also disease resistance: ERD15 overexpression plants showed improved resistance to the bacterial necrotroph Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora accompanied with enhanced induction of marker genes for systemic acquired resistance (SAR). We propose that ERD15 is a novel mediator of stress related ABA signaling in Arabidopsis.
