Wild type seed coats of Arabidopsis thaliana are brown due to the accumulation of proanthocyanidin pigments (PAs). The pigmentation requires activation of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis genes and mutations in some of these genes cause a yellow appearance of seeds, termed transparent testa (tt) phenotype. The TT1 gene encodes a WIP‐type zinc finger protein and is expressed in the seed coat endothelium where most of the PAs accumulate in wild type plants. In this study we show that TT1 is not only required for correct expression of PA‐specific genes in the seed coat, but also affects CHS, encoding the first enzyme of flavonoid biosynthesis. Many steps of this pathway are controlled by complexes of MYB and BHLH proteins with the WD40 factor TTG1. We demonstrate that TT1 can interact with the R2R3 MYB protein TT2 and that ectopic expression of TT2 can partially restore the lack in PA production in tt1. Reduced seed coat pigmentation was obtained using a TT1 variant lacking nuclear localisation signals. Based on our results we propose that the TT2/TT8/TTG1 regulon may also comprise early genes like CHS and discuss steps to further unravel the regulatory network controlling flavonoid accumulation in endothelium cells during A. thaliana seed development. 相似文献

Yellow-seed (i.e., yellow seed coat) is one of the most important agronomic traits of Brassica plants, which is correlated with seed oil and meal qualities. Previous studies on the Brassicaceae, including Arabidopsis and Brassica species, proposed that the seed-color trait is correlative to flavonoid and lignin biosynthesis, at the molecular level. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the oxidative polymerization of flavonoid and biosynthesis of lignin has been demonstrated to be catalyzed by laccase 15, a functional enzyme encoded by the AtTT10 gene. In this study, eight Brassica TT10 genes (three from B. napus, three from B. rapa and two from B. oleracea) were isolated and their roles in flavonoid oxidation/polymerization and lignin biosynthesis were investigated. Based on our phylogenetic analysis, these genes could be divided into two groups with obvious structural and functional differentiation. Expression studies showed that Brassica TT10 genes are active in developing seeds, but with differential expression patterns in yellow- and black-seeded near-isogenic lines. For functional analyses, three black-seeded B. napus cultivars were chosen for transgenic studies. Transgenic B. napus plants expressing antisense TT10 constructs exhibited retarded pigmentation in the seed coat. Chemical composition analysis revealed increased levels of soluble proanthocyanidins, and decreased extractable lignin in the seed coats of these transgenic plants compared with that of the controls. These findings indicate a role for the Brassica TT10 genes in proanthocyanidin polymerization and lignin biosynthesis, as well as seed coat pigmentation in B. napus. 相似文献

Abscisic acid (ABA) and 2-trans-ABA (t-ABA) biosynthesis werestudied in wild type Landsberg erecta and the three allelicaba mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., which are impairedin epoxy-carotenoid biosynthesis. Labelling experiments with18O2and mass spectrometric analysis of [18O]ABA and its catabolitesABA-glucose ester (ABA-GE) and phaseic acid (PA), and t- ABAand t-ABA-GE, showed that t-ABA biosynthesis was less affectedthan ABA biosynthesis by mutations at the ABA locus. The aba-4allele caused the most severe impairment of ABA biosynthesiscompared with the other two mutant alleles aba-1 and aba-3,yet aba-4 plants synthesized as much t-ABA as wild type Landsbergerecta plants. Feeding experiments with RS- [2H6]ABA-aldehydeisomers and unlabelled xanthoxin isomers suggest that t-xanthoxinand t-ABA-aldehyde are precursors to ABA and t-ABA in Arabidopsis Key words: ABA-alcohol, ABA-aldehyde, ABA-glucose ester, 18O2 labelling, phaseic acid 相似文献
