Popis: Bacillus subtilis CLP extract activates defense gene expression and increases the unique protein production involving in pathways of ISR, SAR, ubiquitin-proteasome system, and glycolysis for stress responses in flavedo tissues. Cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) of Bacillus subtilis ABS-S14 had ability to activate plant defensive pathways, increase resistance and control green mold rot caused by Penicillium digitatum in mandarin fruit. The current study investigated transcriptional and proteomic data to highlight the unique induction effect of CLPs produced by B. subtilis ABS-S14 on the defense mechanism of mandarins in response to P. digitatum attack, and their differences from those following the exogenous plant hormone application. The proteomic patterns of the flavedo tissues as affected by Bacillus CLP extract, salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and ethephon (Et) were explored. qPCR analysis revealed the great effects of CLP extract in enhancing the transcription of PAL, ACS1, GLU, POD, and PR1. Tryptic peptides by LC-MS analysis between treatments with and without fungal infection were compared. B. subtilis CLP extract empowered the plant's immune response to wound stress by the significant production of calmodulin-binding receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase 2, molybdenum cofactor sulfurase, and NAD+-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Ubiquitin carrier protein abundance was developed only in the treated flavedo with CLP extract coupled with P. digitatum infection. The gene expression and overall proteome findings involving pathways of ubiquitin proteasome system, ISR, SAR, and energy production provide a new insight into the molecular mechanisms of the antagonist B. subtilis ABS-S14 inducing resistance against green mold in mandarins.
