Although recent studies uncover core mechanism for JA-induced responses in Arabidopsis thaliana, it remains elusive how plants attenuate those responses. We report here that a basic-helix-loop-helix type transcription factor named JA-INDUCIBLE MYC2-LIKE1 (JAM1) acts as a transcriptional repressor and negatively regulates JA signaling. Arabidopsis plants expressing the chimeric repressor for JAM1 exhibited a substantial reduction of JA responses, including JA-induced inhibition of root growth, accumulation of anthocyanin, and male fertility. These plants were also compromised in resistance to attack by Spodoptera exigua. Conversely, jam1-4 loss-of-function mutants showed enhanced JA responsiveness, including increased resistance to the insect attack. Competitive binding of JAM1 and MYC2 to the target sequence of MYC2 suggested negative regulation of JA signaling by JAM1 and suppression of MYC2 function. These results indicate that JAM1 plays a pivotal role in fine-tuning of JA-mediated stress responses and plant growth by negatively regulating JA signaling. Transcriptomes of ProJAM1:JAM1-SRDX, ProMYC2:MYC2-SRDX and wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings with or without jasmonic acid were compared.

Agilent Feature Extraction Software (v 9.1.3.1) was used for background subtraction. After that, the signal of each probe was divided by the median value of filter-passed probes. ID_REF = VALUE = Normalized signal intensity (divided by median value) 200 ng of total RNA was used for the labeling procedure using the Low Input Quick Amp Labeling kit (One-color) (Agilent). Hybridized using the Gene Expression Hybridization kit (Agilent) and washed by the Gene Expression wash pack (Agilent). MeJA in DMSO or DMSO only was added to liquid medium in a final concentration of 50 microM and cultured 1 hour. All plants were grown in MS (1% sucrose) liquid medium in a 16hr light / 8hr dark cycle in 23 Celsius degrees. The Plant RNeasy Mini kit (QIAGEN) was used to isolate total RNA. Scanned on an Agilent G2505B scanner.
