Although serotonin is known as a neurotransmitter in animal, its function in plants remains to be identified. We identified rice SL gene encoding serotonin synthesizing enzyme involved in defense responses. In this work, we found that serotonin induces expression of defense genes, callose deposition, and activation of MAP kinase in Arabidopsis. Therefore, it is likely that serotonin functions as immune factor in plants.
