Summary Elevated levels of salicylic acid (SA) are required for the induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants. Recently, a salicylic acid-binding protein (SABP) isolated from tobacco was shown to have cetelasa activity. Based on this finding elevated levels of hydrogen peroxide (H202} were postulated to act as a second messenger of SA in the SAR signal trensduction pathway. A series of experiments have been carried out to clarify the role of H202 in SARsignaling. No increase of H202 was found during the onset of SAR. Induction of the SAR gene, PR-1, by H202 and H20 zinducing chemicals is strongly suppressed in transgenic tobacco plants that express the bacterial salicylate hydroxylase gene, indicating that H202 induction of SAR genes is dependent on SA accumulation. Following treatment of plants with increasing concentrations of H202, a dose-dependent accumulation of total SA species was found, suggesting that H202 may induce PR-1 gene expression through SA accumulation. While the results do not support a role for HzO2 in SAR signaling, it is suggested that SA inhibition of catalase activity may be important in tissues undergoing a hypersensitive response.
