Many plant-pathogen interactions are controlled by specific interactions between pathogen avirulence (avr) gene loci and the corresponding plant resistance R locus (gene-for-gene-hypothesis). Very often, this type of interaction culminates in a hypersensitive reaction (HR). However, recently pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) such as flagellin or lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that are common to all bacteria have been shown to act as general elicitors of basal or innate immune responses in several plant species. Here, we summarize the genetic programs in Arabidopsis thaliana behind the LPS-induced basal response and the HR induced by harpin, respectively. Using Agilent Arabidopsis cDNA microarrays consisting of approximately 15,000 oligomers, changes in transcript accumulation of treated cells were monitored over a period of 24h after elicitor treatment. Analysis of the array data revealed significant responses to LPS (309 genes), harpin (951 genes) or both (313 genes). Concentrating our analysis on the genes encoding transcription factors, defence genes, cell wall biogenesis-related genes and signal transduction components we monitored interesting parallels, but also remarkably different expression patterns. Harpin and LPS induced an overlapping set of genes involved in cell wall biogenesis, cellular communication and signalling. The pattern of induced genes associated with cell rescue and general stress responses such as small heat-shock proteins was highly similar. In contrast, there is a striking difference regarding some of the most prominent, central components of plant defence such as WRKY transcription factors and oxidative burst-associated genes like NADPH oxidases, whose expression became apparent only after treatment with harpin. While both harpin and LPS can stimulate plant immunity in Arabidopsis, the PAMP LPS induces much more subtle host reactions at the transcriptome scale. The defence machinery induced by harpin resembles the known HR-type host responses leading to cell death after treatment with this elicitor. LPS is a weak inducer of basal resistance and induces a different pattern of genes. Strikingly the biggest overlap (40) of responding genes was found between the early harpin response (30min) and the late LPS response (24h).
