Salicylic acid (SA) has a central role in defence against pathogen attack. Besides, its role in such diverse processes as germination, flowering, senescence and thermotolerance acquisition has been documented. However, little is known about the early signalling events triggered by SA. Using Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cells as a model, it was possible to show by in vivo metabolic phospholipid labelling with 33Pi that SA addition induced a rapid and early (in few minutes) decrease in a pool of phosphatidylinositol (PI). This decrease paralleled with an increase in phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. These changes could be inhibited by two different inhibitors of type III PI 4-kinases, phenylarsine oxide and 30 µM wortmannin; no inhibitory effect was seen with 1 µM wortmannin, a concentration inhibiting PI 3-kinases but not PI 4-kinases. We therefore undertook a study of wortmannin effects on SA responsive transcriptome. Using the Complete Arabidopsis Transcriptome MicroArray (CATMA) chip, we could identify 774 genes differentially expressed upon SA treatment. Strikingly, amongst these genes, the response to SA of 112 of them was inhibited by 30 µM wortmannin but not by 1 µM wortmannin.
