The protein elicitor cerato-platanin (CP) is known to induce defence-related responses in various plants. Some of these responses occur very quickly. In the present work, transcriptional changes caused by CP in leaves from Platanus × acerifolia (Aiton) Willd. were studied. With a cDNA microarray, 131 differentially regulated transcripts were identified as responsive to CP after 24 h of treatment. Eighty-six of these were cold-or ozone-modulated transcripts, thus revealing a significant overlap between genes responsive to CP and to cold/ozone stress. The transcriptional changes caused by CP were compared with the CP-orthologous protein Pop1 in a time-course analysis performed after 3, 6, 12, and 24 h of treatment by real-time RT-PCR on five defence-related genes. Despite some differences, CP and Pop1 were both able to induce early transcriptional changes (WRKY was overexpressed after only 3 h) confirming that pathogenassociated molecular patterns (PAMPs) act very quickly on gene transcription.
