O-Acetylation of polysaccharides predominantly modifies plant cell walls by changing the physicochemical properties and, consequently, the structure and function of the cell wall. Expression regulation and specific function of cell wall-acetylating enzymes remain to be fully understood. In this report, we cloned a previously identified stunted growth mutant namedsucrose uncoupled1(sun1) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).SUN1encodes a member of theTRICHOME BIREFRINGEN-LIKEfamily,AtTBL37.AtTBL37is highly expressed in fast-growing plant tissues and encodes a Golgi apparatus-localized protein that regulates secondary cell wall thickening and acetylation. Insun1, jasmonate signaling and expression of downstream chemical defense genes, includingVEGETATIVE STORAGE PROTEIN1andBRANCHED-CHAIN AMINOTRANSFERASE4, are increased but, unexpectedly,sun1is more susceptible to insect feeding. The central transcription factor in jasmonate signaling, MYC2, binds to and inducesAtTBL37expression. MYC2 also promotes the expression of many otherTBLs. Moreover, MYC activity enhances cell wall acetylation. Overexpression ofAtTBL37in themyc2-2background reduces herbivore feeding. Our study highlights the role ofO-acetylation in controlling plant cell wall properties, plant development, and herbivore defense.
