LID - 10.3390/antiox12020301 [doi] LID - 301 AB - Breeding crops with enhanced immunity is an effective strategy to reduce yield loss caused by pathogens. The constitutive expresser of pathogenesis-related genes (cpr5) mutant shows enhanced pathogen resistance but retarded growth; thus, it restricts the application of cpr5 in breeding crops with disease resistance. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in plant growth and defense. In this study, we determined that the cpr5 mutant exhibited excessive ROS accumulation. However, the mutation of respiratory burst oxidase homolog D (RBOHD), a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase responsible for the production of ROS signaling in plant immunity, did not suppress excessive ROS levels in cpr5. Furthermore, the cpr5 mutant showed low levels of ascorbate peroxidase 1 (APX1), an important cytosolic ROS-scavenging enzyme. APX1 overexpression in the cpr5 background removed excessive ROS and restored the pleiotropic growth phenotype. Notably, APX1 overexpression did not reduce the resistance of cpr5 mutant to virulent strain Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000 and avirulent strain Pst DC3000 (avrRpt2). These results suggest that the removal of excessive ROS by APX1 overexpression restored the cpr5 growth phenotype while conserving pathogen resistance. Hence, our study provides a theoretical and empirical basis for utilizing CPR5 in the breeding of crops with disease resistance by effective oxidative stress management via APX1 expression.
