The Apocarotenoid ?-Cyclocitric Acid Elicits Drought Tolerance in Plants.

ABSTRACT: ?-Cyclocitral (?-CC) is a volatile compound deriving from 1O2 oxidation of ?-carotene in plant leaves. ?-CC elicits a retrograde signal, modulating 1O2-responsive genes and enhancing tolerance to photooxidative stress. Here, we show that ?-CC is converted into water-soluble ?-cyclocitric acid (?-CCA) in leaves. This metabolite is a signal that enhances plant tolerance to drought by a mechanism different from known responses such as stomatal closure, osmotic potential adjustment, and jasmonate signaling. This action of ?-CCA is a conserved mechanism, being observed in various plant species, and it does not fully overlap with the ?-CC-dependent signaling, indicating that ?-CCA induces only a branch of ?-CC signaling. Overexpressing SCARECROW-LIKE14 (SCL14, a regulator of xenobiotic detoxification) increased drought tolerance and potentiated the protective effect of ?-CCA, showing the involvement of the SCL14-dependent detoxification in the phenomenon. ?-CCA is a bioactive apocarotenoid that could potentially be used to protect crop plants against drought.
