We previously identified SEC14, phospholipid transfer protein superfamily gene, in Nicotiana benthamiana (NbSEC14) that was closely related to phospholipid signaling as well as jasmonic acid-dependent defense responses during plant immune responses against Ralstonia solanacearum. To examine effect of NbSEC14-silencing on basal plant defenses, we used two other bacterial pathogens with different virulent strategies, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci and pv. mellea. NbSEC14-silenced plants showed accelerated growth of P. syringae pv. tabaci and pv. mellea, and formation of necrotic lesions. Induction of JA-related PR-4 gene was compromised in NbSEC14-silenced plants, which was supported by reduced jasmonic acid levels in NbSEC14-silenced plants. These results suggested that NbSEC14 might be regulating plant basal resistance against plant pathogenic Pseudomonads via jasmonic acid-dependent signaling pathway.
