Auxin is central to many aspects of plant development; accordingly, plants have evolved several mechanisms to regulate auxin levels, including de novo auxin biosynthesis, degradation, and conjugation to sugars and amino acids. Here, we report the characterization of an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, IAA carboxyl methyltransferase1-dominant (iamt1-D), which displayed dramatic hyponastic leaf phenotypes caused by increased expression levels of the IAMT1 gene. IAMT1 encodes an indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) carboxyl methyltransferase that converts IAA to methyl-IAA ester (MeIAA) in vitro, suggesting that methylation of IAA plays an important role in regulating plant development and auxin homeostasis. Whereas both exogenous IAA and MeIAA inhibited primary root and hypocotyl elongation, MeIAA was much more potent than IAA in a hypocotyl elongation assay, indicating that IAA activities could be effectively regulated by methylation. IAMT1 was spatially and temporally regulated during the development of both rosette and cauline leaves. Changing expression patterns and/or levels of IAMT1 often led to dramatic leaf curvature phenotypes. In iamt1-D, the decreased expression levels of TCP genes, which are known to regulate leaf curvature, may partially account for the curly leaf phenotype. The identification of IAMT1 and the elucidation of its role in Arabidopsis leaf development have broad implications for auxin-regulated developmental process. 相似文献

We reported earlier that boron stimulates hypocotyl growth in several Arabidopsis ecotypes but not in the boron-deficient mutant bor1-1. Others have shown that boron influences the metabolism and transport of the plant hormone auxin. We investigated how boron,
in interaction with light, influences Arabidopsis hypocotyl growth responses to the exogenous auxins 1-NAA, 2,4-D and IAA. In either light condition, 1-NAA similarly inhibited
hypocotyl growth in bor1-1 and the corresponding WT (Col-0), while in both genotypes, boron did not essentially affect the extent of the inhibition.
Whatever the light conditions and in the absence of boron, 2,4-D inhibited hypocotyl elongation in WT, while in BL seedlings,
high responsiveness to 2,4-D vanished when boron was added to the culture medium. Hypocotyl of bor1-1 seedlings in all boron concentrations tested and grown in the dark or RL responded to the auxin similar to WT plants. In
BL, the mutant hypocotyls retained full sensitivity to 2,4-D at 0.1 mM H3BO3 but lost that sensitivity by 2 mM. In both genotypes tested, in the dark or RL, IAA inhibited hypocotyl growth. Conversely,
IAA stimulated hypocotyl elongation in both genotypes developed in BL at 0.1 mM H3BO3. That stimulation disappeared when the boron supply increased to 2 mM. Our results suggest that specifically in BL, boron
reduces hypocotyl responsiveness to auxins 2,4-D or IAA via the functional transporter BOR1. Our results lead to a discussion
of how BL and BOR1 influence the mechanisms of auxin transport into and out of the cell. 相似文献

We examined the physiological effects of brassinosteroids (BRs) on early growth of Arabidopsis. Brassinazole (Brz), a BR biosynthesis inhibitor, was used to elucidate the significance of endogenous BRs. It inhibited growth of roots, hypocotyls, and cotyledonous leaf blades dose-dependently and independent of light conditions. This fact suggests that endogenous BRs are necessary for normal growth of individual organs of Arabidopsis in both photomorphogenetic and skotomorphogenetic programs. Exogenous brassinolide (BL) promoted hypocotyl elongation remarkably in light-grown seedlings. Cytological observation disclosed that BL-induced hypocotyl elongation was achieved through cell enlargement rather than cell division. Furthermore, a serial experiment with hormone inhibitors showed that BL induced hypocotyl elongation not through gibberellin and auxin actions. However, a synergistic relationship of BL with gibberellin A3 (GA3) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was observed on elongation growth in light-grown hypocotyls, even though gibberellins have been reported to be additive to BR action in other plants. Taken together, our results show that BRs play an important role in the juvenile growth of Arabidopsis; moreover, BRs act on light-grown hypocotyl elongation independent of, but cooperatively with, gibberellins and auxin. 相似文献

Nine phosphatidylinositol‐specific phospholipases C (PLCs) have been identified in the Arabidopsis genome; among the importance of PLC2 in reproductive development is significant. However, the role of PLC2 in vegetative development such as in root growth is elusive. Here, we report that plc2 mutants displayed multiple auxin‐defective phenotypes in root development, including short primary root, impaired root gravitropism, and inhibited root hair growth. The DR5:GUS expression and the endogenous indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) content, as well as the responses of a set of auxin‐related genes to exogenous IAA treatment, were all decreased in plc2 seedlings, suggesting the influence of PLC2 on auxin accumulation and signalling. The root elongation of plc2 mutants was less sensitive to the high concentration of exogenous auxins, and the application of 1‐naphthaleneacetic acid or the auxin transport inhibitor N‐1‐naphthylphthalamic acid could rescue the root hair growth of plc2 mutants. In addition, the PIN2 polarity and cycling in plc2 root epidermis cells were altered. These results demonstrate a critical role of PLC2 in auxin‐mediated root development in Arabidopsis, in which PLC2 influences the polar distribution of PIN2. 相似文献

拟南芥 MeIAA 抗性突变体的筛选和初步图位克隆分析 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
生长素是最重要的植物激素之一, 参与了植物生长发育的各个方面。植物体内游离的IAA是生长素的主要活性形式, 在IAA甲基转移酶1(IAMT1)的作用下, IAA可以转变为IAA甲酯 (MeIAA)。MeIAA本身没有活性, 在植物体内的MeIAA酯解酶作用下可以重新转变为IAA。 MeIAA是非极性分子, 能够在植物体内自由扩散。利用MeIAA的这种特殊性质筛选突变体, 可以分离到MeIAA代谢途径或者IAA途径中新的成分。我们对拟南芥种子进行EMS诱变, 通过观察黑暗下下胚轴的生长情况, 筛选MeIAA的抗性突变体。我们成功分离到了8株可能的抗性突变体, 并对其中的一个Methyl -IAA resistant 1 (mir1) 突变体进行了深入分析。MeIAA抗性突变体的筛选将为进一步了解MeIAA的代谢、IAA稳态调控和响应机理提供新的材料。 相似文献

Ethylene and gibberellins have a synergistic stimulatory effect on hypocotyl elongation of light-grown Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. seedlings. A screen for mutants with decreased response to these hormones led to the isolation of a novel allele
(amp1-7) of the ALTERED MERISTEM PROGRAM (AMP) 1 locus. The amp1-7 allele contains a missense mutation causing a phenotype, which is weaker than that of the amp1-1 mutant that carries a nonsense mutation. The mutant phenotype prompted the hypothesis that AMP1 is involved in ethylene and
GA signalling pathways or in a parallel pathway-controlling cell and hypocotyl elongation and cellular organization. Amp1 mutants contain higher zeatin concentrations causing enlargement of the apical meristem, which was confirmed by cytokinin
application to wild type seedlings. Light grown amp1 seedlings have shorter hypocotyls than wild type; however, application of cytokinins promotes hypocotyl elongation of both
Col-0 and amp1. We suggest that in amp1 mutants either zeatin overproduction or its action is strictly localized.

Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants constitutively expressing Agrobacterium tumefaciens tryptophan monooxygenase (iaaM) were obtained and characterized. Arabidopsis plants expressing iaaM have up to 4-fold higher levels of free indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and display increased hypocotyl elongation in the light. This result clearly demonstrates that excess endogenous auxin can promote cell elongation in a whole plant. Interactions of the auxin-overproducing transgenic plants with the phytochrome-deficient hy6-1 and auxin-resistant axrl-3 mutations were also studied. The effects of auxin overproduction on hypocotyl elongation were not additive to the effects of phytochrome deficiency in the hy6-1 mutant, indicating that excess auxin does not counteract factors that limit hypocotyl elongation in hy6-1 seedlings. Auxin-overproducing seedlings are also qualitatively indistinguishable from wild-type controls in their response to red, far-red, and blue light treatments, demonstrating that the effect of excess auxin on hypocotyl elongation is independent of red and blue light-mediated effects. All phenotypic effects of iaaM-mediated auxin overproduction (i.e. increased hypocotyl elongation in the light, severe rosette leaf epinasty, and increased apical dominance) are suppressed by the auxin-resistant axr1-3 mutation. The axr1-3 mutation apparently blocks auxin signal transduction since it does not reduce auxin levels when combined with the auxin-overproducing transgene. 相似文献

Auxin and its homeostasis play key roles in many aspects of plant growth and development. Cadmium (Cd) is a phytotoxic heavy metal and its inhibitory effects on plant growth and development have been extensively studied. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of the effects of Cd stress on auxin homeostasis is still unclear. In the present study, we found that the root elongation, shoot weight, hypocotyl length and chlorophyll content in wild-type (WT) Arabidopsis seedlings were significantly reduced after exposure to Cd stress. However, the lateral root (LR) formation was markedly promoted by Cd stress. The level and distribution of auxin were both greatly altered in primary root tips and cotyledons of Cd-treated plants. The results also showed that after Cd treatment, the IAA content was significantly decreased, which was accompanied by increases in the activity of the IAA oxidase and alteration in the expression of several putative auxin biosynthetic and catabolic genes. Application of the auxin transport inhibitor, 1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) and 1-naphthoxyacetic acid (1-NOA), reversed the effects of Cd on LR formation. Additionally, there was less promotion of LR formation by Cd treatment in aux1-7 and pin2 mutants than that in the WT. Meanwhile, Cd stress also altered the expression of PINs and AUX1 in Arabidopsis roots, implying that the auxin transport pathway is required for Cd-modulated LR development. Taken together, these findings suggest that Cd stress disturbs auxin homeostasis through affecting auxin level, distribution, metabolism, and transport in Arabidopsis seedling. 相似文献

Ethylene response factor (ERF) is an important component in ethylene or pathogen-induced defensive response of plants. However,
physiological effects of ERF on plants have not been fully elucidated. We previously identified an ERF gene, OsERF1, in rice. It up-regulated ethylene-responsive genes expression and influenced growth and development of the transgenic Arabidopsis. Here, we report that similar to other seedlings with constitutive ethylene response, OsERF1 seedlings were suppressed in their root growth. Interestingly, the suppressed root growth was restorable by light irradiation. Detailed analysis showed that OsERF1 inhibited cell elongation without influencing cell number in hypocotyls and leaves of the transgenic Arabidopsis. In addition, homozygous OsERF1 was fatal and heterozygous OsERF1 was harmful in Arabidopsis. These findings expand our understanding of ERF. 相似文献

Indole‐3–acetic acid (IAA), an auxin plant hormone, is biosynthesized from tryptophan. The indole‐3–pyruvic acid (IPyA) pathway, involving the tryptophan aminotransferase TAA1 and YUCCA (YUC) enzymes, was recently found to be a major IAA biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis. TAA1 catalyzes the conversion of tryptophan to IPyA, and YUC produces IAA from IPyA. Using a chemical biology approach with maize coleoptiles, we identified 5–(4–chlorophenyl)‐4H‐1,2,4–triazole‐3–thiol (yucasin) as a potent inhibitor of IAA biosynthesis in YUC‐expressing coleoptile tips. Enzymatic analysis of recombinant AtYUC1‐His suggested that yucasin strongly inhibited YUC1‐His activity against the substrate IPyA in a competitive manner. Phenotypic analysis of Arabidopsis YUC1 over‐expression lines (35S::YUC1) demonstrated that yucasin acts in IAA biosynthesis catalyzed by YUC. In addition, 35S::YUC1 seedlings showed resistance to yucasin in terms of root growth. A loss‐of‐function mutant of TAA1, sav3–2, was hypersensitive to yucasin in terms of root growth and hypocotyl elongation of etiolated seedlings. Yucasin combined with the TAA1 inhibitor l –kynurenine acted additively in Arabidopsis seedlings, producing a phenotype similar to yucasin‐treated sav3–2 seedlings, indicating the importance of IAA biosynthesis via the IPyA pathway in root growth and leaf vascular development. The present study showed that yucasin is a potent inhibitor of YUC enzymes that offers an effective tool for analyzing the contribution of IAA biosynthesis via the IPyA pathway to plant development and physiological processes. 相似文献

We have isolated an Arabidopsis mutant impaired in light- and brassinosteroid (BR) induced responses, as well as in sugar signalling. The bls1 (brassinosteroid, light and sugar1) mutant displays short hypocotyl, expanded cotyledons, and de-repression of light-regulated genes in young seedlings, and leaf differentiation and silique formation on prolonged growth in dark. In light, the bls1 mutant is dwarf and develops a short root, compact rosette, with reduced trichome number, and exhibits delayed bolting. The activity of the BR inducible TCH4 and auxin inducible SAUR promoters, fused with GUS gene, is also altered in seedlings harbouring bls1 mutant background. In addition, the bls1 mutant is hypersensitive to metabolizable sugars. The short hypocotyl phenotype in dark, short root phenotype in light and sugar hypersensitivity could be rescued with BR application. Moreover, the bls1 mutant also showed higher expression of a BR biosynthetic pathway gene CPD, which is known to be feedback-regulated by BR. Using a genome-wide AFLP mapping strategy, the bls1 mutant has been mapped to a 1.4Mb region of chromosome 5. Since no other mutant with essentially a similar phenotype has been assigned to this region, we suggest that the bls1 mutant defines a novel locus involved in regulating endogenous BR levels, with possible ramifications in integrating light, hormone and sugar signalling. 相似文献

During elongation of the Arabidopsis hypocotyl, each cell reacts to light and hormones in a time- and position-dependent manner. Growth in darkness results in
the maximal length a wild-type cell can reach. Elongation starts at the base and proceeds in the acropetal direction. Cells
in the upper half of the hypocotyl can become the longest of the whole organ. Light strongly inhibits cell elongation all
along the hypocotyl, but proportionally more in the upper half. The ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid
(ACC) is known to stimulate hypocotyl elongation in the light. Here we show that this stimulation only occurs in cells of
the apical half of the hypocotyl. Moreover, ACC application can partially overcome light inhibition, whereas indole-3-acetic
acid (IAA) cannot. On low-nutrient medium (LNM) in the light, elongation is severely reduced as compared to growth on rich
medium, and both ACC and IAA can stimulate elongation to the levels reached on a nutrient-rich medium.
Furthermore, microtubule orientation was studied in vivo. During elongation in darkness, transverse and longitudinal patterns are clearly related with rates of elongation. In other
conditions, except for the association of longitudinally orientated microtubules with growth arrest, microtubule orientation
is merely an indicator of developmental age, not of elongation activity. A hypothesis on the relation between microtubules
and elongation rate is discussed. 相似文献

Hypocotyl growth occurs as a result of an interaction between environmental factors and endogenous phytohormones. In Arabidopsis, high temperature promotes auxin synthesis to increase hypocotyl growth. We previously showed that exogenously provided auxin
stimulates expression of the brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthetic gene DWARF4. To determine whether temperature-induced hypocotyl elongation depends on BR biosynthesis, we examined the morphological
responses to high temperature and the expression pattern of DWF4pro:GUS in different genetic backgrounds, which are as follows: Ws-2 wild-type, iaa19/msg2, bri1-5, and dwf7-1. In contrast to the wild-type, growth of the three genotypes at 29°C did not significantly increase hypocotyl length; whereas,
with the exception of iaa19/msg2, the roots were elongated. These results confirm that BR biosynthesis and signaling pathways are required for hypocotyl growth
at high temperature. Furthermore, a GUS histochemical assay revealed that a temperature of 29°C greatly increased DWF4pro:GUS expression in the shoot and root tips compared to a temperature of 22°C. Quantitative measurements of GUS activity in DWF4pro:GUS revealed that growth at 29°C is similar to the level of growth after addition of 100 nM IAA to the medium. Our results suggest
that temperature-dependent synthesis of free auxin stimulates BR biosynthesis, particularly via the key biosynthetic gene
DWF4, and that the BRs thus synthesized are involved in hypocotyl growth at high temperature. 相似文献

Aldehyde oxidase (AO; EC 1.2.3.1) activity was measured in seedlings of wild type or an auxin-overproducing mutant, superroot1 (sur1), of Arabidopsis thaliana. Activity staining for AO after native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separation of seedling extracts revealed that there were three major bands with AO activity (AO1–3) in wild-type and mutant seedlings. One of them (AO1) had a higher substrate preference for indole-3-aldehyde. This AO activity was significantly higher in sur1 mutant seedlings than in the wild type. The difference in activity was most apparent 7 d after germination, the same time required for the appearance of the remarkable sur1 phenotype, which includes epinastic cotyledons, elongated hypocotyls, and enhanced root development. Higher activity was observed in the root and hypocotyl region of the mutant seedlings. We also assayed the indole-3-acetaldehyde oxidase activity in extracts by high-performance liquid chromatography detection of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The activity was about 5 times higher in the extract of the sur1 seedlings, indicating that AO1 also has a substrate preference for abscisic aldehyde. Treatment of the wild-type seedlings with picloram or IAA caused no significant increase in AO1 activity. This result suggested that the higher activity of AO1 in sur1 mutant seedlings was not induced by IAA accumulation and, thus, strongly supports the possible role of AO1 in IAA biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seedlings. 相似文献

Effects of auxins (IAA, IBA and NAA) on K. humboldtiana root culture cultivated in 16-h photoperiod or in dark have been observed. Light affected positively the production of biomass when cultivated on medium supplemented with NAA in 10 and 25 mol –1 concentrations. In the presence of IAA and IBA these values were significantly lower. The growth dynamics of root cultures depended on the auxin used. The best adventitious roots elongation and lateral roots induction on media supplemented with IBA has been ascertained. Morphological and anatomical differences in dependence on auxin used were observed. NAA supported the formation of huge callus-like mass besides mostly very short roots, especially under the light. Similarly IAA induced short roots, and IBA seems to be the most effective substance for the root elongation in this model system. NAA induced roots with larger diameter under the light compared with the other two auxins used. The reason is in the different anatomical structure of roots which was characterized by higher number of cell layers and large intercellulars in the cortex. The shape of cortical cells in the presence of IBA depended on the light conditions. Isodiametric cortical cells were present in roots cultivated in 16-h photoperiod, irregularly-shaped cells in the dark. The effect of light conditions was the smallest in the case of roots grown on IAA enriched media. 相似文献

The pef mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana define lesions early in the phytochrome signaling pathway 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

In a screen for early-flowering mutants, a number of mutants that were early flowering under both short and long days were isolated. One such mutant, pef1, was selectively insensitive to both red and far-red light in the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation response; a classic phytochrome phenotype mediated by both PHYA and PHYB. The pef1 mutant seedlings could not be phenotypically rescued by biliverdin, a precursor of the phytochrome chromophore, nor did they fail to complement any previously identified elongated hypocotyl (hy) mutants. Difference spectra and Western blot analysis showed normal concentrations of PHYA photoreceptor apoprotein, which appeared photochemically active. It was concluded that the pef1 mutant is defective in both PHYA- and PHYB- mediated signaling pathways, and may represent a lesion in an early step of the phytochrome signal transduction pathway. Additional pef mutants deficient specifically in PHYB-mediated responses were also identified by this screen. 相似文献
