Molecular Characterization of Auxin Efflux Carrier- ABCB1 in hexaploid wheat.

ABSTRACT: Auxin is an important phytohormone that regulates response, differentiation, and development of plant cell, tissue, and organs. Along with its local production, long-distance transport coordinated by the efflux/influx membrane transporters is instrumental in plant development and architecture. In the present study, we cloned and characterized a wheat (Triticum aestivum) auxin efflux carrier ABCB1. The TaABCB1 was physically localized to the proximal 15% of the short arm of wheat homoeologous group 7 chromosomes. Size of the Chinese spring (CS) homoeologs genomic copies ranged from 5.3-6.2?kb with the 7A copy being the largest due to novel insertions in its third intron. The three homoeologous copies share 95-97% sequence similarity at the nucleotide, 98-99% amino acid, and overall Q-score of 0.98 at 3-D structure level. Though detected in all analyzed tissues, TaABCB1 predominantly expressed in the meristematic tissues likely due to the presence of meristem-specific activation regulatory element identified in the promoter region. RNAi plants of TaABCB1 gene resulted in reduced plant height and increased seed width. Promoter analysis revealed several responsive elements detected in the promoter region including that for different hormones as auxin, gibberellic acid, jasmonic acid and abscisic acid, light, and circadian regulated elements.

Project description:Significant progress has been made in the functions of auxin efflux transporter PIN-FORMED (PIN) genes for the regulation of growth and development in rice. However, knowledge on the roles of OsPIN genes in abiotic stresses is limited. We previously reported that the mutation of OsPIN1b alters rice architecture and root gravitropism, while the role of OsPIN1b in the regulation of rice abiotic stress adaptations is still largely elusive. In the present study, two homozygous ospin1b mutants (C1b-1 and C1b-2) were employed to investigate the roles of OsPIN1b in regulating abiotic stress adaptations. Low temperature gradually suppressed OsPIN1b expression, while osmotic stress treatment firstly induced and then inhibited OsPIN1b expression. Most OsPIN genes and auxin biosynthesis key genes OsYUC were up-regulated in ospin1b leaves, implying that auxin homeostasis is probably disturbed in ospin1b mutants. The loss of function of OsPIN1b significantly decreased rice chilling tolerance, which was evidenced by decreased survival rate, increased death cells and ion leakage under chilling conditions. Compared with the wild-type (WT), ospin1b mutants accumulated more hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and less superoxide anion radicals (O2-) after chilling treatment, indicating that reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis is disrupted in ospin1b mutants. Consistently, C-repeat binding factor (CBF)/dehydration-responsive element binding factor (DREB) genes were downregulated in ospin1b mutants, implying that OsDREB genes are implicated in OsPIN1b-mediated chilling impairment. Additionally, the mutation of OsPIN1b led to decreased sensitivity to abscisic acid (ABA) treatment in seed germination, impaired drought tolerance in the seedlings and changed expression of ABA-associated genes in rice roots. Taken together, our investigations revealed that OsPIN1b is implicated in chilling and drought tolerance in rice and provide new insight for improving abiotic stress tolerance in rice.
