It has been previously described that elevation of endogenous spermine levels in Arabidopsis could be achieved by transgenic overexpression of S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase ( SAMDC ) or Spermine synthase ( SPMS ). In both cases, spermine accumulation had an impact on the plant transcriptome, with up-regulation of a set of genes enriched in functional categories involved in defense-related processes against both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this work, the response of  SAMDC1 -overexpressing plants against bacterial and oomycete pathogens has been tested. The expression of several pathogen defense-related genes was induced in these plants as well as in wild type plants exposed to an exogenous supply of spermine.  SAMDC1 -overexpressing plants showed an increased tolerance to infection by  Pseudomonas syringae  and by  Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis . Both results add more evidence to the hypothesis that spermine plays a key role in plant resistance to biotic stress.
