oxidases (PPOs) have been reported to play an important role in protecting plants from attacks by herbivores. Though PPO genes in other plants have been extensively studied, research on PPO genes in the tea plant (<italic>Camellia sinensis</italic>) is lacking. In particular, which members of the PPO gene family elicit the defense response of the tea plant are as yet unknown. Here, two new PPO genes, <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and <italic>CsPPO2</italic>, both of which had high identity with PPOs from other plants, were obtained from tea leaves. The full length of <italic>CsPPO1</italic> contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1740 bp that encoded a protein of 579 amino acids, while <italic>CsPPO2</italic> contained an ORF of 1788 bp that encoded a protein of 595 amino acids. The deduced CsPPO1 and CsPPO2 proteins had calculated molecular masses of 64.6 and 65.9 kDa; the isoelectric points were 6.94 and 6.48, respectively. The expression products of recombinant CsPPO1 and CsPPO2 in <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> were about 91 and 92 kDa, respectively, but the recombinant proteins existed in the form of an inclusion body. Whereas <italic>CsPPO1</italic> is highly expressed in stems, <italic>CsPPO2</italic> is highly expressed in roots. Further results showed that the expression of <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and <italic>CsPPO2</italic> was wound- and <italic>Ectropis obliqua</italic>-induced, and that regurgitant, unlike treatment with wounding plus deionized water, significantly upregulated the transcriptional expression of <italic>CsPPO2</italic> but not of <italic>CsPPO1</italic>. The difference between regurgitant and wounding indicates that <italic>CsPPO2</italic> may play a more meaningful defensive role against <italic>E. obliqua</italic> than <italic>CsPPO1</italic>. Meanwhile, we found the active component(s) of the regurgitant elicited the expression of <italic>CsPPO</italic> may contain small molecules (under 3-kDa molecular weight). These conclusions advance the understanding of the biological function of two new PPO genes and show that one of these, <italic>CsPPO2</italic>, may be a promising gene for engineering tea plants that are resistant to <italic>E. obliqua</italic>.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Joy, R W" uniqKey="Joy R">R.W.

Though PPO genes in other plants have been extensively studied, research on PPO genes in the tea plant (<italic>Camellia sinensis</italic>) is lacking. In particular, which members of the PPO gene family elicit the defense response of the tea plant are as yet unknown. Here, two new PPO genes, <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and <italic>CsPPO2</italic>, both of which had high identity with PPOs from other plants, were obtained from tea leaves. The full length of <italic>CsPPO1</italic> contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1740 bp that encoded a protein of 579 amino acids, while <italic>CsPPO2</italic> contained an ORF of 1788 bp that encoded a protein of 595 amino acids. The deduced CsPPO1 and CsPPO2 proteins had calculated molecular masses of 64.6 and 65.9 kDa; the isoelectric points were 6.94 and 6.48, respectively. The expression products of recombinant CsPPO1 and CsPPO2 in <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> were about 91 and 92 kDa, respectively, but the recombinant proteins existed in the form of an inclusion body. Whereas <italic>CsPPO1</italic> is highly expressed in stems, <italic>CsPPO2</italic> is highly expressed in roots. Further results showed that the expression of <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and <italic>CsPPO2</italic> was wound- and <italic>Ectropis obliqua</italic>-induced, and that regurgitant, unlike treatment with wounding plus deionized water, significantly upregulated the transcriptional expression of <italic>CsPPO2</italic> but not of <italic>CsPPO1</italic>. The difference between regurgitant and wounding indicates that <italic>CsPPO2</italic> may play a more meaningful defensive role against <italic>E. obliqua</italic> than <italic>CsPPO1</italic>. Meanwhile, we found the active component(s) of the regurgitant elicited the expression of <italic>CsPPO</italic> may contain small molecules (under 3-kDa molecular weight). These conclusions advance the understanding of the biological function of two new PPO genes and show that one of these, <italic>CsPPO2</italic>, may be a promising gene for engineering tea plants that are resistant to <italic>E. obliqua</italic>.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>polyphenol oxidase</kwd><kwd><italic>Camellia sinensis</italic></kwd><kwd><italic>Ectropis obliqua</italic></kwd><kwd>wounding</kwd><kwd>regurgitant</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="sec1-ijms-19-02414"><title>1. Introduction</title><p>Plant polyphenol oxidases (PPOs), which are ubiquitous, dinuclear, copper-containing metalloproteins, contribute to the lignification, pigmentation, and, in higher plant species, defense against pathogens or herbivores [<xref rid="B1-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>,<xref rid="B2-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>,<xref rid="B3-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>,<xref rid="B4-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>,<xref rid="B5-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]. PPOs utilize molecular oxygen to oxidize various phenolic precursors to their corresponding quinines [<xref rid="B6-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>], and these quinones are responsible for the enzymatic browning of many fruits, vegetables, and grains. Such browning often accompanies senescence, mechanical damage, and attack by pathogens or herbivores [<xref rid="B7-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>,<xref rid="B8-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>,<xref rid="B9-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. The negative effect of PPOs on the appearance and nutritional quality of products has prompted numerous ecological and molecular studies, as has the role of PPOs in plant defense against herbivores and pathogens [<xref rid="B10-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="B11-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>,<xref rid="B12-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>,<xref rid="B13-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="B14-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>,<xref rid="B15-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>].

In addition, <italic>PPO</italic> genes are frequently found to be differentially induced in response to injuries inflicted by wounding, pathogens, or herbivores from various plant species, and also to signaling molecules (jasmonic acid (JA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (ET)), suggesting that these genes have a defensive role [<xref rid="B19-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>,<xref rid="B20-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>,<xref rid="B21-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>,<xref rid="B22-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>,<xref rid="B23-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>].</p><p>To our knowledge, <italic>PPO</italic> gene families have been described in more than 26 plant species [<xref rid="B22-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>,<xref rid="B24-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>,<xref rid="B25-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>,<xref rid="B26-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]: the <italic>PPO</italic> gene family of the tomato consists of seven members [<xref rid="B27-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>] and the family of <italic>Salvia miltiorrhiza</italic> comprises 19 <italic>PPO</italic> genes [<xref rid="B22-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. Until now, according to reports, only one full-length genomic DNA sequence of <italic>PPO</italic> has been cloned from <italic>Camellia sinensis</italic> cv. <italic>Longjing 43</italic> (EF635860.1), although the <italic>PPO</italic> gene family of <italic>C. sinensis</italic> (L.) O.

Tender tea buds and leaves are the raw material for commercial tea, one of the most popular nonalcoholic drinks worldwide [<xref rid="B30-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>]. Developing tea shoots and leaves may be damaged by numerous pests, such as the tea geometrid <italic>Ectropis obliqua</italic> (Prout), whose larvae seriously affect the yield and quality of tea [<xref rid="B31-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>], and the tea green leafhopper, <italic>Empoasca onukii</italic> (Matsuda). Herbivore-induced plant defenses are induced both by wounding, which is caused by the herbivore mouthparts involved in chewing/piercing, and by the elicitors/effectors that come from the insect’s oral or oviduct secretions [<xref rid="B32-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>,<xref rid="B33-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. Oral secretions (OS) are the key factors according to which the plant distinguishes between mechanical damage and herbivore feeding, and then responds, as different responses are elicited by different herbivore species [<xref rid="B32-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>,<xref rid="B33-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>,<xref rid="B34-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>,<xref rid="B35-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>,<xref rid="B36-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>,<xref rid="B37-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>]. Previously, we found that PPOs were an important antiherbivore factor in tea plants, defending them directly against <italic>E. obliqua</italic> larvae [<xref rid="B4-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. Though mechanical damage and JA treatment can upregulate PPO activity in tea leaves, both the infestation of the tea geometrids and wounding plus the regurgitant significantly suppressed wound-induced PPO activity, from which we inferred that <italic>E. obliqua</italic> larvae have evolved to be able to elude the tea plant’s defenses by inhibiting the production of PPOs [<xref rid="B4-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. Unfortunately, which genes are responsible for PPO activity induced or inhibited by the exogenous application of JA or the infestation of <italic>E. obliqua</italic> remains unknown.</p><p>To elucidate the <italic>CsPPOs</italic> responsible for the defense/coevolutionary response of the tea plant, we first isolated and characterized two new full-length cDNA sequences of <italic>CsPPO</italic> genes from <italic>C. sinensis</italic> cv. <italic>Longjing 43</italic>. Second, the phylogenetic relationship was analyzed by DNAMAN software. Third, we analyzed the transcriptional expression characteristics of these two genes in different tissues and in response to mechanical damage, <italic>E. obliqua</italic> infestation, and treatment involving mechanical damage plus regurgitant or exogenous application of JA. Finally, <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and <italic>CsPPO2</italic> were used as target genes to screen the active components of the regurgitant by detecting transcriptional expression levels of leaves that were treated with three separate compounds of the regurgitant. Our results will help clarify the interaction between tea plants and tea geometrids, and provide candidate defensive gene resources for breeding molecular resistance to insects in tea.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-ijms-19-02414"><title>2.

The deduced CsPPO1 and CsPPO2 proteins had calculated the molecular weight (Mw) of 64.6 kDa and 65.9 kDa, and the isoelectric points (pI) were 6.94 and 6.48, respectively. Compared to the published <italic>CsPPO</italic> (EF635860.1), the putative conserved domains of CsPPOs were predicted on a protein-blast website, and the results indicated that the <italic>CsPPOs</italic> we isolated are new genes encoding two new putative PPOs of the tea plant. The three cDNA sequences share 71–76% and 68–72% pairwise identity at the nucleic-acid and amino-acid levels, respectively (<xref rid="ijms-19-02414-t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>). The 80–90 residues of the derived amino-acid sequences of CsPPOs in the N-terminal region (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f001">Figure 1</xref>) show many typical features of a chloroplast transit peptide. The proteins had a conserved tyrosinase superfamily motif and two copper ion-binding sites. The PPO-DWL supermotif was the conserved domain of PPO that contained approximately 50 amino acids. The PPO-KFDV superfamily, whose function has not yet been studied, was the C-terminal domain of these oxidases (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f001">Figure 1</xref>). Interestingly, sequence analysis revealed only one copper-binding site in CsPPO1, TpPPO, and AmAS1, and two copper-binding sites in CsPPO2, CsPPO, GhPPO, NtaPPO, SlyPPOA, SmePPO1, PtdPPO1, and VvPPO (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f001">Figure 1</xref>).</p></sec><sec id="sec2dot2-ijms-19-02414"><title>2.2.

[<xref rid="B40-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>] and similar to other plant PPO proteins [<xref rid="B41-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>,<xref rid="B42-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>,<xref rid="B43-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>]. Moreover, the deduced amino-acid sequences of CsPPO1 and CsPPO2 were found to contain three conserved domains (Tyrosinase, PPO1-DWL, and PPO-KFDV), which are considered to be expression sequence tags of PPOs [<xref rid="B44-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>]. That CsPPO1 has only one copper-binding site and CsPPO2 contains two (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f001">Figure 1</xref>) suggests that they may have different functions, similar to <italic>PPO</italic> genes of strawberry (<italic>Fragaria vesca</italic>) [<xref rid="B45-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>]. Furthermore, results from 25 different plants involving 46 <italic>PPO</italic> genes in a phylogenetic analysis suggest that <italic>CsPPOs</italic> have a common ancestor with the red clover, lotus flower, and pokeweed, as these species were clustered on the adjoining branch (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f002">Figure 2</xref>). Results of phylogenetic and gene-structure analysis indicate that <italic>PPO</italic> genes are relatively conserved across different species. <italic>SmePPO5</italic>, <italic>SmePPO6</italic>, <italic>SlyPPOF</italic>, <italic>PINPPO1</italic>, <italic>PINPPO2</italic>, <italic>PtdPPO1</italic>, <italic>PtdPPO3</italic>, <italic>pAPO5</italic>, <italic>CsPPO1</italic>, and <italic>CsPPO2</italic> were wound-induced, while <italic>SlyPPOF</italic> and <italic>PtdPPO3</italic> were induced by pathogens. <italic>AmAS1</italic> has been unambiguously demonstrated to play a role in the biosynthesis of chalcone-derived yellow-colored aurone pigments in <italic>Antirrhinum majus</italic> (snapdragon) [<xref rid="B46-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>], and <italic>LtLH</italic> is an enantiospecific PPO involved in the biosynthesis of linked lignins that have been isolated and characterized in <italic>Larrea tridentata</italic> (creosote bush) [<xref rid="B47-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>,<xref rid="B48-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>,<xref rid="B49-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>]. Genes with functions similar to those of PPOs from different species do not cluster together in the phylogenetic analysis (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f002">Figure 2</xref>), suggesting that the adaptation of <italic>PPO</italic> genes for defense evolved independently in different plants. This result might explain the differences, which are consistent with those reported by Schmidt et al. [<xref rid="B50-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>]. Wu et al. expressed a reported <italic>CsPPO</italic> in <italic>E. coli</italic> and found that recombinant CsPPO appears as an inclusion body upon expression in <italic>E. coli</italic> despite the removal of chloroplast-targeting transit peptide; subsequently, they attempted to solubilize inclusion bodies in a suitable buffer; the specific activity of PPO was only 19.01 U/mg protein [<xref rid="B51-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>]. Our results show that the <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and <italic>CsPPO2</italic> genes highly express in <italic>E. coli</italic> cells, but the recombinant proteins exist in the form of an inclusion body (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f003">Figure 3</xref>), which are similar to the results of Liu et al. [<xref rid="B29-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]. In a follow-up study, we need to solubilize inclusion bodies in a suitable buffer to measure the specific enzymatic activity of CsPPO1 and CsPPO2.</p><p>Previous studies have reported that different <italic>PPO</italic> gene members have distinct expression levels in various tissues [<xref rid="B22-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>,<xref rid="B45-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>,<xref rid="B47-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>,<xref rid="B52-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>]. For instance, although three <italic>PPO</italic> genes have been found in a poplar hydrid (<italic>Populus trichocarpa × P. deltoides</italic>), <italic>PtdPPO1</italic> is exclusively expressed in damaged leaves, whereas <italic>PtdPPO2</italic> and <italic>PtdPPO3</italic> are predominantly expressed in stems, petioles, or roots [<xref rid="B52-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>]. Here, we found that <italic>CsPPO1</italic> was highly expressed in stems, and <italic>CsPPO2</italic> was highly expressed in roots. In other plants’ <italic>PPO</italic> gene families, the expression patterns of some members are similarly organ-specific with <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and <italic>CsPPO2</italic>, such as <italic>SmPPO1</italic>, <italic>SmPPO16</italic>, <italic>FaPPO4</italic>, <italic>PtrPPO2</italic>, and <italic>PtrPPO3</italic>, which are highly expressed in roots, and <italic>SmPPO11</italic>, which is highly expressed in stems [<xref rid="B22-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>,<xref rid="B45-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>,<xref rid="B52-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>]. The diverse expression profiles identified for <italic>PPO</italic> genes in different tissues suggest that they may have diverse functional roles. For example, <italic>AmAS1</italic> from snapdragon is localized in vacuoles and specifically catalyzes the formation of aurones from chalcones [<xref rid="B46-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>]; Li et al. [<xref rid="B22-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>] reported that eight <italic>SmPPOs</italic> that were expressed in <italic>S. miltiorrhiza</italic> roots have potential in lithospermic acid B biosynthesis and metabolism. The roots of tea plants are a component of traditional Chinese medicine, and have been reported to have pharmacological effects [<xref rid="B53-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>]; <italic>CsPPO2</italic> was highly expressed in the roots, suggesting that it may be involved in the biosynthesis and metabolism of phenolic acid in roots—a hypothesis that needs to be verified. However, our study mainly focused on <italic>CsPPOs</italic> with defensive roles against leaf-feeding pests, so we paid attention to the expression of <italic>CsPPOs</italic> in leaves but not to that in roots. What the biological meaning of <italic>CsPPO2</italic> is, which was highly expressed in the roots but plays important role in defending against <italic>E. obliqua</italic>, needs to be investigated further.</p><p>Strong evidence has shown that PPOs play defensive roles in tomato, poplar (<italic>Populus trichocarpa</italic>), strawberry, and some other plants [<xref rid="B12-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>,<xref rid="B13-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="B18-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>,<xref rid="B45-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>,<xref rid="B52-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>,<xref rid="B54-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>,<xref rid="B55-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>,<xref rid="B56-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>]. Among the 15 members of the poplar <italic>PPO</italic> gene family, levels of transcriptional expression of <italic>PtrPPO1</italic>, <italic>PtrPPO3</italic>, and <italic>PtrPPO11</italic> were significantly induced by mechanical damage, the exogenous application of MeJA, or the infection of <italic>Melampsora laricipopulina</italic>, while others are developmentally regulated [<xref rid="B48-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>,<xref rid="B57-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>].

Our current results showed that the expression of <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and <italic>CsPPO2</italic> was wound- and <italic>E. obliqua</italic>-induced (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f006">Figure 6</xref>A,B), indicating that both were probably promoted to play defensive roles in <italic>C. sinensis</italic>. In contrast, JA treatment induced only the expression of <italic>CsPPO2</italic>, not of <italic>CsPPO1</italic> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f005">Figure 5</xref>). The situation is similar in poplar [<xref rid="B48-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>], apple [<xref rid="B58-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>], and pineapple [<xref rid="B59-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>], where <italic>PtrPPO5</italic>, <italic>pAPO5</italic>, <italic>PINPPO1</italic>, and <italic>PINPPO2</italic> were found to be the only wound-induced <italic>PPOs</italic>. In other plants, most <italic>PPO</italic> genes are not wound- or herbivore-induced [<xref rid="B48-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>]. Nevertheless, the infestation of herbivores not only mechanically damaged plants but also introduced OS into the wounding sites [<xref rid="B32-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>,<xref rid="B36-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>,<xref rid="B61-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>]. Musser et al. [<xref rid="B36-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>] found that the caterpillar labial saliva of cotton bollworm (<italic>Helicoverpa zea</italic>) alters gene expression in the tomato plant. Our results showed that regurgitant could upregulate the expression level of <italic>CsPPO2</italic> but not of <italic>CsPPO1</italic> more significantly than treating the plant with wounding plus deionized water at 12 and 24 h after the start of the experiment (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f007">Figure 7</xref>). This result indicates that the accumulation of <italic>CsPPO2</italic> can be upregulated by regurgitant and may constitute a more meaningful defense against <italic>E. obliqua</italic> than the accumulation of <italic>CsPPO1</italic>. The disparity between the transcripts of <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and of <italic>CsPPO2</italic> may have resulted from their different structural attributes, as stated above. Similar disparities were previously found in other plants as well [<xref rid="B22-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>,<xref rid="B57-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>,<xref rid="B59-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>]. </p><p>Several examples have shown that the components of OS can interfere with, or even suppress, the activation of defensive responses in plants [<xref rid="B62-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>]. Among the known herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) [<xref rid="B63-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">63</xref>], fatty acid–amino acid conjugates are widely distributed in the OS of lepidopteran insects and elicit specific responses in various plants; furthermore, H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, which is produced by glucoseoxidase in OS, is also believed to take part in activating insect feeding-induced defensive reactions [<xref rid="B64-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>]. In the present study, we found that <italic>CsPPO2</italic> was significantly amplified by diluted regurgitant, but its expression level did not differ significantly between wounding plus sterile extract and wounding plus diluted regurgitant, suggesting the active component(s) was not microbial (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f008">Figure 8</xref>). Chung et al. [<xref rid="B32-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>] found the Colorado potato beetles (CPB, <italic>Leptinotarsa decemlineata</italic>) can exploit orally secreted bacteria to suppress plant defenses, and Wang et al. (2016) found different microbes in insects can have species-specific effects on different host plants. The microbes in the regurgitant of <italic>E. obliqua</italic> may have effects on other defense genes that need to be verified. Treatments of wounding plus diluted regurgitant and sterile extract significantly elicited the expression of <italic>CsPPO2</italic> compared with its expression in wounding plus deionized water, and wounding plus sterile extract removed small molecules off and intact plants (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f008">Figure 8</xref>), which suggests the active component(s) of the regurgitant that elicited the expression of <italic>CsPPO2</italic> may contain in small molecules (within 3-kDa molecular weight). Similarly, the difference in responses between the expression of <italic>CsPPO1</italic> under wounding plus diluted regurgitant and wounding plus sterile extract without small molecules supported this result (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-19-02414-f008">Figure 8</xref>). </p><p>Previously, our group noted the infestation of <italic>E. obliqua</italic> or wounding plus the regurgitant significantly suppressed wound-induced PPO activities [<xref rid="B4-ijms-19-02414" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. Given our earlier results and our results here, we hypothesize that there are other <italic>PPO</italic> gene members that are particularly responsive to the infestation of <italic>E. obliqua</italic> in the tea plant; the assumption needs to be further investigated. Meanwhile, microRNAs (miRNAs) represent key post-transcriptional regulators of eukaryotic gene expression and play important roles in stress responses. The prediction of miRNAs in <italic>CsPPO1</italic> and <italic>CsPPO2</italic> indicates that miRNAs are involved the post-transcriptional regulation of <italic>PPOs</italic>, which may lead to the difference between our earlier results and results here. </p><p>The regurgitant from <italic>E. obliqua</italic> was separated into its components for the first time in this study, and we found the active component(s) may elicit the expression of <italic>CsPPO2</italic> contained in small molecules (within 3-kD molecular weight).
