The Arabidopsis glutathione S-transferase GSTF8 promoter directs root-specific responses to stress. In this study, the response of this promoter to plant infection with Rhizoctonia solani was investigated using a luciferase reporter system. Arabidopsis seedlings harboring the GSTF8:luciferase construct were monitored in vivo for bioluminescence following infection with R. solani. Although the reporter gene was induced in infected roots, the response differed markedly between R. solani strains and was not observed with aggressive strains that caused death of the seedlings. The three strains tested in detail progressed through typical stages of infection, but ZG1-1 induced the GSTF8 promoter in most seedlings, ZG3 induced it in approximately 25% of seedlings, and ZG5 caused little response. Induction of specific root segments occurred early in the infection process in root regions with very limited mycelium visible. In root segments with substantial mycelium, GSTF8 promoter activity no longer was observed. Induction by ZG1-1 also was observed in plants harboring a tetramer of the ocs element from the GSTF8 promoter, suggesting that this element helps mediate the response. Crossing GSTF8:luciferase plants with plants harboring an Nah-G construct that degrades salicylic acid did not abolish the response, indicating that the GSTF8 promoter response to R. solani may be mediated by signals other than salicylic acid.
