Arabidopsis SIGMA FACTOR BINDING PROTEIN1 (SIB1) and SIB2 inhibit WRKY75 function in abscisic acid-mediated leaf senescence and seed germination.

ABSTRACT: The plant-specific VQ gene family participates in diverse physiological processes but little information is available on their role in leaf senescence. Here, we show that the VQ motif-containing proteins, Arabidopsis SIGMA FACTOR BINDING PROTEIN1 (SIB1) and SIB2 are negative regulators of abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated leaf senescence. Loss of SIB1 and SIB2 function resulted in increased sensitivity of ABA-induced leaf senescence. In contrast, overexpression of SIB1 significantly delayed this process. Moreover, biochemical studies revealed that SIBs interact with WRKY75 transcription factor. Loss of WRKY75 function decreased sensitivity to ABA-induced leaf senescence, while overexpression of WRKY75 significantly accelerated this process. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that WRKY75 directly binds to the promoters of GOLDEN 2-LIKE1(GLK1) and GLK2, to repress their expression. SIBs repress the transcriptional function of WRKY75 and negatively regulate ABA-induced leaf senescence in a WRKY75-dependent manner. In contrast, WRKY75 positively modulates ABA-mediated leaf senescence in a GLK-dependent manner. In addition, SIBs inhibit WRKY75 function in ABA-mediated seed germination. These results demonstrate that SIBs can form a complex with WRKY75 to regulate ABA-mediated leaf senescence and seed germination.

<i>OsWRKY53</i> Promotes Abscisic Acid Accumulation to Accelerate Leaf Senescence and Inhibit Seed Germination by Downregulating Abscisic Acid Catabolic Genes in Rice.

Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA) largely promotes leaf senescence and inhibits seed germination in plants. Endogenous ABA content is finely tuned by many transcription factors. In this study, we showed that OsWRKY53 is a positive regulator of leaf senescence and a negative regulator of seed germination in rice. OsWRKY53 expression was induced in leaves under aging, dark, and ABA treatment. The OsWRKY53-overexpressing (OsWRKY53-oe) plants showed early yellowing leaves, while the OsWRKY53 (oswrky53) knockout mutants maintained green leaves than the wild type under natural, dark-induced, and ABA-induced senescence conditions. Transcriptional analysis revealed that ABA catabolic genes, namely, OsABA8ox1 and OsABA8ox2, two key genes participating in ABA catabolism harboring ABA 8'-hydroxylase activity, were markedly downregulated in OsWRKY53-oe leaves. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and protoplast transient assays revealed that OsWRKY53 directly bound to the promoters of OsABA8ox1 and OsABA8ox2 to repress their transcription, resulting in elevated endogenous ABA contents that promoted premature leaf senescence in the OsWRKY53-oe plants. It indicates that OsWRKY53 is a positive regulator through regulating ABA accumulation to promote leaf senescence. In addition, accumulated ABA simultaneously inhibited seed germination and post-germination growth in OsWRKY53-oe plants. Taken together, OsWRKY53 suppresses the transcript of ABA catabolic genes to promote ABA accumulation to modulate ABA-induced leaf senescence and ABA-mediated inhibition of seed germination.

Sinapic acid or its derivatives interfere with abscisic acid homeostasis during Arabidopsis thaliana seed germination.

Project description:BackgroundSinapic acid and its esters have broad functions in different stages of seed germination and plant development and are thought to play a role in protecting against ultraviolet irradiation. To better understand the interactions between sinapic acid esters and seed germination processes in response to various stresses, we analyzed the role of the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) in the regulation of sinapic acid esters involved in seed germination and early seedling growth.ResultsWe found that exogenous sinapic acid promotes seed germination in a dose-dependent manner in Arabidopsis thaliana. High-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis showed that exogenous sinapic acid increased the sinapoylcholine content of imbibed seeds. Furthermore, sinapic acid affected ABA catabolism, resulting in reduced ABA levels and increased levels of the ABA-glucose ester. Using mutants deficient in the synthesis of sinapate esters, we showed that the germination of mutant sinapoylglucose accumulator 2 (sng2) and bright trichomes 1 (brt1) seeds was more sensitive to ABA than the wild-type. Moreover, Arabidopsis mutants deficient in either abscisic acid deficient 2 (ABA2) or abscisic acid insensitive 3 (ABI3) displayed increased expression of the sinapoylglucose:choline sinapoyltransferase (SCT) and sinapoylcholine esterase (SCE) genes with sinapic acid treatment. This treatment also affected the accumulation of sinapoylcholine and free choline during seed germination.ConclusionsWe demonstrated that sinapoylcholine, which constitutes the major phenolic component in seeds among various minor sinapate esters, affected ABA homeostasis during seed germination and early seedling growth in Arabidopsis. Our findings provide insights into the role of sinapic acid and its esters in regulating ABA-mediated inhibition of Arabidopsis seed germination in response to drought stress.

Abscisic acid transporters cooperate to control seed germination.

Project description:Seed germination is a key developmental process that has to be tightly controlled to avoid germination under unfavourable conditions. Abscisic acid (ABA) is an essential repressor of seed germination. In Arabidopsis, it has been shown that the endosperm, a single cell layer surrounding the embryo, synthesizes and continuously releases ABA towards the embryo. The mechanism of ABA transport from the endosperm to the embryo was hitherto unknown. Here we show that four AtABCG transporters act in concert to deliver ABA from the endosperm to the embryo: AtABCG25 and AtABCG31 export ABA from the endosperm, whereas AtABCG30 and AtABCG40 import ABA into the embryo. Thus, this work establishes that radicle extension and subsequent embryonic growth are suppressed by the coordinated activity of multiple ABA transporters expressed in different tissues.

Abscisic Acid as an Internal Integrator of Multiple Physiological Processes Modulates Leaf Senescence Onset in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Many studies have shown that exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) promotes leaf abscission and senescence. However, owing to a lack of genetic evidence, ABA function in plant senescence has not been clearly defined. Here, two-leaf early-senescence mutants (eas) that were screened by chlorophyll fluorescence imaging and named eas1-1 and eas1-2 showed high photosynthetic capacity in the early stage of plant growth compared with the wild type. Gene mapping showed that eas1-1 and eas1-2 are two novel ABA2 allelic mutants. Under unstressed conditions, the eas1 mutations caused plant dwarf, early germination, larger stomatal apertures, and early leaf senescence compared with those of the wild type. Flow cytometry assays showed that the cell apoptosis rate in eas1 mutant leaves was higher than that of the wild type after day 30. A significant increase in the transcript levels of several senescence-associated genes, especially SAG12, was observed in eas1 mutant plants in the early stage of plant growth. More importantly, ABA-activated calcium channel activity in plasma membrane and induced the increase of cytoplasmic calcium concentration in guard cells are suppressed due to the mutation of EAS1. In contrast, the eas1 mutants lost chlorophyll and ion leakage significant faster than in the wild type under treatment with calcium channel blocker. Hence, our results indicate that endogenous ABA level is an important factor controlling the onset of leaf senescence through Ca(2+) signaling.

The Arabidopsis circadian clock protein PRR5 interacts with and stimulates ABI5 to modulate abscisic acid signaling during seed germination.

Project description:Seed germination and postgerminative growth require the precise coordination of multiple intrinsic and environmental signals. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) suppresses these processes in Arabidopsis thaliana and the circadian clock contributes to the regulation of ABA signaling. However, the molecular mechanism underlying circadian clock-mediated ABA signaling remains largely unknown. Here, we found that the core circadian clock proteins PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR5 (PRR5) and PRR7 physically associate with ABSCISIC ACID-INSENSITIVE5 (ABI5), a crucial transcription factor of ABA signaling. PRR5 and PRR7 positively modulate ABA signaling redundantly during seed germination. Disrupting PRR5 and PRR7 simultaneously rendered germinating seeds hyposensitive to ABA, whereas the overexpression of PRR5 enhanced ABA signaling to inhibit seed germination. Consistent with this, the expression of several ABA-responsive genes is upregulated by PRR proteins. Genetic analysis demonstrated that PRR5 promotes ABA signaling mainly dependently on ABI5. Further mechanistic investigation revealed that PRR5 stimulates the transcriptional function of ABI5 without affecting its stability. Collectively, our results indicate that these PRR proteins function synergistically with ABI5 to activate ABA responses during seed germination, thus providing a mechanistic understanding of how ABA signaling and the circadian clock are directly integrated through a transcriptional complex involving ABI5 and central circadian clock components.

The mRNA-binding proteome of a critical phase transition during Arabidopsis seed germination.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana seed germination is marked by extensive translational control at two critical phase transitions. The first transition refers to the start of hydration, the hydration translational shift. The second shift, the germination translational shift (GTS) is the phase between testa rupture and radicle protrusion at which the seed makes the all or nothing decision to germinate. The mechanism behind the translational regulation at these phase transitions is unknown. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) are versatile players in the post-transcriptional control of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and as such candidates for regulating translation during seed germination. Here, we report the mRNA binding protein repertoire of seeds during the GTS. Thirty seed specific RBPs and 22 dynamic RBPs were identified during the GTS, like the putative RBP Vacuolar ATPase subunit A and RBP HSP101. Several stress granule markers were identified in this study, which suggests that seeds are prepared to quickly adapt the translation of specific mRNAs in response to changes in environmental conditions during the GTS. Taken together this study provides a detailed insight into the world of RBPs during seed germination and their possible regulatory role during this developmentally regulated process.

Abscisic acid promotes jasmonic acid biosynthesis via a 'SAPK10-bZIP72-AOC' pathway to synergistically inhibit seed germination in rice (Oryza sativa).

Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA) both inhibit seed germination, but their interactions during this process remain elusive. Here, we report the identification of a 'SAPK10-bZIP72-AOC' pathway, through which ABA promotes JA biosynthesis to synergistically inhibit rice seed germination. Using biochemical interaction and phosphorylation assays, we show that SAPK10 exhibits autophosphorylation activity on the 177th serine, which enables it to phosphorylate bZIP72 majorly on 71st serine. The SAPK10-dependent phosphorylation enhances bZIP72 protein stability as well as the DNA-binding ability to the G-box cis-element of AOC promoter, thereby elevating the AOC transcription and the endogenous concentration of JA. Blocking of JA biosynthesis significantly alleviated the ABA sensitivity on seed germination, suggesting that ABA-imposed inhibition partially relied on the elevated concentration of JA. Our findings shed a novel insight into the molecular networks of ABA-JA synergistic interaction during rice seed germination.

Arabidopsis WRKY6 Transcription Factor Acts as a Positive Regulator of Abscisic Acid Signaling during Seed Germination and Early Seedling Development.

Project description:The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays important roles during seed germination and early seedling development. Here, we characterized the function of the Arabidopsis WRKY6 transcription factor in ABA signaling. The transcript of WRKY6 was repressed during seed germination and early seedling development, and induced by exogenous ABA. The wrky6-1 and wrky6-2 mutants were ABA insensitive, whereas WRKY6-overexpressing lines showed ABA-hypersensitive phenotypes during seed germination and early seedling development. The expression of RAV1 was suppressed in the WRKY6-overexpressing lines and elevated in the wrky6 mutants, and the expression of ABI3, ABI4, and ABI5, which was directly down-regulated by RAV1, was enhanced in the WRKY6-overexpressing lines and repressed in the wrky6 mutants. Electrophoretic mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that WRKY6 could bind to the RAV1 promoter in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of RAV1 in WRKY6-overexpressing lines abolished their ABA-hypersensitive phenotypes, and the rav1 wrky6-2 double mutant showed an ABA-hypersensitive phenotype, similar to rav1 mutant. Together, the results demonstrated that the Arabidopsis WRKY6 transcription factor played important roles in ABA signaling by directly down-regulating RAV1 expression.

Gene Family Analysis of the <i>Arabidopsis NF-YA</i> Transcription Factors Reveals Opposing Abscisic Acid Responses During Seed Germination.

Project description:In the plant kingdom, each of the NUCLEAR FACTOR-Y (NF-Y) transcription factor families, NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC, has undergone a great expansion compared to the animal kingdom. For example, Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 members of each gene family compared to only one in humans. Progress towards understanding the significance of this expansion is limited due to a lack of studies looking at the complete gene family during plant development. In the current study, transgenic overexpression lines were created for all 10 Arabidopsis NF-YA genes and examined for general development and alterations in abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated seed germination. NF-YA overexpression typically led to severe growth retardation and developmental defects, which extended from embryogenesis through to adult plants. Although overexpression of all NF-YA family members consistently led to growth retardation, some transgenic lines were hypersensitive to ABA during germination while others were hyposensitive. The opposing germination phenotypes were associated with the phylogenetic relationships between the NF-YA members. In addition, ABA marker genes were misregulated and ABA induction of gene expression was reduced in the overexpressors. Collectively, this study demonstrates that although NF-Ys have retained high degrees of similarity, they have evolved unique and sometimes opposing roles during plant development.
