Abstract
The bacterial effector harpin induces the transcription of the Arabidopsis thaliana NON-RACE SPECIFIC DISEASE RESISTANCE 1/HARPIN INDUCED1 (NDR1/HIN1) coiled-coil nucleotide binding leucine rich repeat (CC-NB-LRR) defense signaling gene. In Glycine max, Gm-NDR1-1 transcripts have been detected within root cells undergoing a natural resistant reaction to parasitism by the syncytium-forming nematode Heterodera glycines, functioning in the defense response. Expressing Gm-NDR1-1 in Gossypium hirsutum leads to resistance to Meloidogyne incognita parasitism. In experiments presented here, the heterologous expression of Gm-NDR1-1 in G. hirsutum impairs Rotylenchulus reniformis parasitism. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that Gm-NDR1-1 expression functions broadly in generating a defense response. To examine a possible relationship with harpin, G. max plants topically treated with harpin result in induction of the transcription of Gm-NDR1-1. The result indicates the topical treatment of plants with harpin, itself, may lead to impaired nematode parasitism. Topical harpin treatments are shown to impair G. max parasitism by H. glycines, M. incognita and R. reniformis and G. hirsutum parasitism by M. incognita and R. reniformis. How harpin could function in defense has been examined in experiments showing it also induces transcription of G. max homologs of the proven defense genes ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILITY1 (EDS1), TGA2, galactinol synthase, reticuline oxidase, xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase, alpha soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (α-SNAP) and serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT). In contrast, other defense genes are not directly transcriptionally activated by harpin. The results indicate harpin induces pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) defense processes in the root, activating defense to parasitic nematodes.

Abstract
The expression of light-regulated genes in plants is controlled by different classes of photoreceptors that act through a variety of signaling molecules. During photomorphogenesis, the early light-induced protein (Elip) genes are among the first to be induced. To understand the light signal transduction pathways that regulate Elip expression, the two Elip genes, Elip1 and Elip2, in Arabidopsis were studied, taking advantage of the genetic tools available for studying light signaling in Arabidopsis. Using two independent quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR techniques, we found that red, far-red, and blue lights positively regulate expression of the Elip genes. Phytochrome A and phytochrome B are involved in this signaling. The cryptochrome or phototropin photoreceptors are not required for blue-light induction of either Elip gene, suggesting the involvement of an additional, unidentified, blue-light receptor. Although the COP9 signalosome, a downstream regulator, is involved in dark repression of both Elips, Elip1 and Elip2 show different expression patterns in the dark. The transcription factor HY5 promotes the light induction of Elip1, but not Elip2. A defect in photosystem II activity in greening of hy5 seedlings may result from the loss of Elip1. Heat shock positively controlled Elip1 and Elip2 in a light-independent fashion. This induction is independent of HY5, indicating that heat shock and light activate transcription of the Elip genes through independent pathways.

Abstract
Light activation of the pea (Pisum sativum) elip gene promoter was analysed in transgenic plants and in transiently transfected plant protoplasts. A series of promoter deletions fused to the gusA reporter was tested, and the results obtained by the two experimental approaches were in good agreement. We identified two nucleotide sequence elements involved in light-regulated expression of the elip gene. One element is similar to the GT1 binding site of the rbcS-3A gene, and the other resembles a G-box-like ACGT element. The region containing both elements was able to confer light responsiveness on a heterologous basic promoter. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated that each element is specifically recognized by DNA-binding proteins present in nuclear extracts from pea seedlings. The G-box-like ACGT element is necessary but not sufficient for light inducibility, indicating that the two elements act together in confering light responsiveness.

Abstract
The distribution of the early light-inducible protein (ELIP) of pea (Pisum sativum) between grana and stroma thylakoids was studied. An antibody raised against a bacterial-expressed fusion protein containing ELIP sequences was used. Illumination of dark-grown pea seedlings causes an accumulation of the ELIP in the thylakoid membranes with a maximum level at 16 h. During continuous illumination exceeding 16 h the level decreases again. The fractionation of thylakoid membranes of 48-h-illuminated pea seedlings in grana and stroma thylakoids reveals that there is no uniform distribution of ELIP in the thylakoids. Rather 60-70% of ELIP was found in the stroma thylakoids and 30-40% in the grana thylakoids. This distribution is in accordance with that of photosystem I but not with that of photosystem II. After Triton-X-100 solubilization almost all ELIP is found in the photosystem-I-containing fraction. This also supports an association of ELIP with photosystem I.

Abstract
A nuclear gene encoding a light-induced transiently expressed protein that is localized in the chloroplast has been isolated from an EMBL3 library of pea DNA. The gene is a member of a multigene family. The sequence of the gene contains the complete reading frame of previously characterized cDNA clones and two introns in the 5' region of the protein coding sequence. Primer extension and S1 nuclease studies have defined the cap site. Two TATA boxes are found 5' to the initiating methionine codon. Only a limited homology is found between the presequence of the gene and transit sequences of other previously sequenced precursors. Isolated nuclei of pea have been labelled and the in vitro synthesized transcripts analysed. The results show that the light-dependent expression of the gene family is regulated at the level of transcription.

Abstract
The levels of nuclear mRNAs for three light-inducible proteins (light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein, small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase and early light-induced protein) have been analyzed under light-dark and constant light conditions. The levels of all three mRNAs have been found to vary considerably during the day, both under ligh-dark and under constant light conditions, demonstrating the existence of diurnal and circadian rhythmicity in the expressionoof these nuclear-coded plant proteins. The levels of two of these mRNAs have been found to be enhanced 2 h before the beginning of illumination when active phytochrome levels are still low.
