Wounding is caused by abiotic and biotic factors and triggers complex short- and long-term responses at the local and systemic level. These responses are under the control of complex signaling pathways, which are still poorly understood. Here, we show that the rapid activation of MKK4/5-MPK3/6 by wounding is independent of jasmonic acid (JA) signaling and that, contrary to what happens in tobacco, this fast module does not control wound-triggered JA accumulation in Arabidopsis. We also demonstrate that a second MAPK module, constituted by MKK3 and the clade-C MAPKs MPK1/2/7, is activated by wounding in an independent manner. We provide evidence that the activation of this MKK3-MPK1/2/7 module occurs mainly through wound-induced JA production via the transcriptional regulation of upstream clade-III MAP3Ks and particularly MAP3K14. We show that mkk3 mutant plants are more susceptible to the larvae of the generalist lepidopteran herbivore Spodoptera littoralis, indicating that the MKK3-MPK1/2/7 module is involved in counteracting insect feeding.Citation
