Abstract
It has recently been discovered that glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH) exhibits a strong S-nitrosoglutathione reductase activity. Plants use NO and S-nitrosothiols as signaling molecules to activate defense mechanisms. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the regulation of FALDH by mechanical wounding and plant hormones involved in signal transduction. Our results show that the gene encoding FALDH in Arabidopsis (ADH2) is down-regulated by wounding and activated by salicylic acid (SA). In tobacco, FALDH levels and enzymatic activity decreased after jasmonate treatment, and increased in response to SA. This is the first time that regulation of FALDH in response to signals associated with plant defense has been demonstrated.
