β-Cyclocitral, a Master Regulator of Multiple Stress-Responsive Genes in <i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> L. Plants

β-cyclocitral (βCC), a major apocarotenoid of β-carotene, enhances plants’ defense against environmental stresses. However, the knowledge of βCC’s involvement in the complex stress-signaling network is limited. Here we demonstrate how βCC reprograms the transcriptional responses that enable <i>...

Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis and their enrichment uncovered that only upregulated genes are attributed to the stress response. Moreover, 80% of the upregulated genes are functionally related to abiotic and biotic stresses. Co-functional analysis of stress-responsive genes revealed a network of 18 genes that code for heat shock proteins, transcription factors (TFs), and calcium-binding proteins. The upregulation of jasmonic acid (JA)-dependent TFs (<i>MYC2</i>, <i>MYB44</i>, <i>ERFs</i>) but not the JA biosynthetic genes is surprising. However, the upregulation of <i>DREB3</i>, an abscisic acid (ABA)-independent TF, validates the unaltered expression of ABA biosynthetic genes.
