Arabidopsis CCoAOMT1 Plays a Role in Drought Stress Response via ROS- and ABA-Dependent Manners.

ABSTRACT: Plants possess adaptive reprogramed modules to prolonged environmental stresses, including adjustment of metabolism and gene expression for physiological and morphological adaptation. CCoAOMT1 encodes a caffeoyl CoA O-methyltransferase and is known to play an important role in adaptation of Arabidopsis plants to prolonged saline stress. In this study, we showed that the CCoAOMT1 gene plays a role in drought stress response. Transcript of CCoAOMT1 was induced by salt, dehydration (drought), and methyl viologen (MV), and loss of function mutants of CCoAOMT1, ccoaomt1-1, and ccoaomt1-2 exhibit hypersensitive phenotypes to drought and MV stresses. The ccoaomt1 mutants accumulated higher level of H2O2 in the leaves and expressed lower levels of drought-responsive genes including RD29B, RD20, RD29A, and ERD1, as well as ABA3 3 and NCED3 encoding ABA biosynthesis enzymes during drought stress compared to wild-type plants. A seed germination assay of ccoaomt1 mutants in the presence of ABA also revealed that CCoAOMT1 functions in ABA response. Our data suggests that CCoAOMT1 plays a positive role in response to drought stress response by regulating H2O2 accumulation and ABA signaling.

Project description:The regulation of pollen development and pollen tube growth is a complicated biological process that is crucial for sexual reproduction in flowering plants. Annexins are widely distributed from protists to higher eukaryotes and play multiple roles in numerous cellular events by acting as a putative "linker" between Ca2+ signaling, the actin cytoskeleton and the membrane, which are required for pollen development and pollen tube growth. Our recent report suggested that downregulation of the function of Arabidopsis annexin 5 (Ann5) in transgenic Ann5-RNAi lines caused severely sterile pollen grains. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of the function of Ann5 in pollen. This study demonstrated that Ann5 associates with phospholipid membrane and this association is stimulated by Ca2+ in vitro. Brefeldin A (BFA) interferes with endomembrane trafficking and inhibits pollen germination and pollen tube growth. Both pollen germination and pollen tube growth of Ann5-overexpressing plants showed increased resistance to BFA treatment, and this effect was regulated by calcium. Overexpression of Ann5 promoted Ca2+-dependent cytoplasmic streaming in pollen tubes in vivo in response to BFA. Lactrunculin (LatB) significantly prohibited pollen germination and tube growth by binding with high affinity to monomeric actin and preferentially targeting dynamic actin filament arrays and preventing actin polymerization. Overexpression of Ann5 did not affect pollen germination or pollen tube growth in response to LatB compared with wild-type, although Ann5 interacts with actin filaments in a manner similar to some animal annexins. In addition, the sterile pollen phenotype could be only partially rescued by Ann5 mutants at Ca2+-binding sites when compared to the complete recovery by wild-type Ann5. These data demonstrated that Ann5 is involved in pollen development, germination and pollen tube growth through the promotion of endomembrane trafficking modulated by calcium. Our results provide reliable molecular mechanisms that underlie the function of Ann5 in pollen.
