Ozone (O-3), a major photochemical oxidant, causes leaf injury in plants. Plants synthesize salicylic acid (SA), which is reported to greatly affect O-3 sensitivity. However, the mechanism of SA biosynthesis under O-3 exposure remains unclear. Plants synthesize SA either by a pathway involving phenylalanine as a substrate or another involving isochorismate. To clarify how SA is produced in O-3-exposed Arabidopsis, we examined the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and isochorismate synthase (ICS), which are components of the phenylalanine and isochorismate pathways, respectively. Exposure of Arabidopsis to O-3 enhanced the accumulation of SA and the increase of ICS activity but did not affect PAL activity. In sid2 mutants, which have a defect in ICS1, the level of SA and the activity of ICS did not increase in response to O-3 exposure. These results suggest that SA is mainly synthesized from isochorismate in Arabidopsis. Furthermore, the level of ICS1 expression and the activity of ICS during O-3 exposure elevated in plants deficient for SA signaling (npr1 and eds5 mutants and NahG transgenics). Treatment of plants with SA also suppressed the enhancement of ICS1 expression by O-3. These results suggest that SA synthesis is negatively regulated by SA signaling.
