Photomorphogenesis is a conspicuous feature in conifers. In the case of the shade-intolerant Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), control of stem growth by light is well expressed at the seedling stage and can readily be studied. The present data show that hypocotyl growth is controlled by the far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome (Pfr). However, the Scots pine seedling requires blue or ultraviolet (UV-A) light to become fully responsive to Pfr. Blue/UV-A light has no direct effect on hypocotyl growth and its action appears to be limited to establishing the responsiveness of the seedling to Pfr. This type of coaction between phytochrome and blue/UV-A light has been observed previously in a number of angiosperm seedlings. With regard to the high irradiance reaction of phytochrome in long-term far-red light the pine seedling deviates totally from what has been observed in etiolated angiosperms since continuous far-red light has no effect on stem growth.Abbreviations B

Temperature-dependent internode elongation in vegetative plants of Arabidopsis thaliana lacking phytochrome B and cryptochrome 1 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Vegetative plants of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. form a compact rosette of leaves in which internode growth is virtually arrested. Rapid extension of the internodes
occurs after flower buds are present in the reproductive apex. Under natural radiation, continuous light from fluorescent
lamps, or short photoperiods of light from fluorescent lamps, plants of the phyB cry1 double mutant (lacking both phytochrome B and cryptochrome 1) did not form normal rosettes because all the internodes showed
some degree of elongation. Internode elongation was weak in the phyB single mutant and absent in the cry1 mutant, indicating redundancy between phytochrome B and cryptochrome 1. The absence of phytochrome A caused no effects. The
failure to form normal rosettes was conditional because internode elongation was arrested at low temperatures in all the mutant
combinations. In contrast, the temperature dependence of phytochrome B and cryptochrome 1 effects on hypocotyl growth was
weak. The elongation of the internodes in phyB cry1 was not accompanied by early flowering as showed by the lack of effects on the final number of leaves. Apex dissection indicated
that in phyB cry1 double mutants internode elongation anticipated the transition from the vegetative to the reproductive stage. Thus, stem
growth in Arabidopsis thaliana is not fully dependent on the program of reproductive development.

Roles for the N- and C-terminal domains of phytochrome B in interactions between phytochrome B and cryptochrome signaling cascades 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Plants fine-tune light responses through interactions betweenphotoreceptors. We have previously reported that the greeningof Arabidopsis thaliana roots is regulated synergistically byphytochromes and cryptochromes. In the present study, we investigatedthe functions of the N- and C-terminal domains of phytochromeB (phyB) in the interactions between phyB and cryptochrome signalingcascades. Transgenic Arabidopsis expressing the phyB N-terminaldomain fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP), ß-glucuronidase(GUS) and the nuclear localization signal (NLS) showed intenseroot greening under blue light, indicating that the C-terminaldomain was dispensable for the synergistic interaction in theinduction of root greening. However, root greening under redlight was substantially reduced in the absence of the C-terminaldomain. This effect was opposite to the previous observationthat removal of the C-terminal domain enhanced the signalingactivity of phyB in the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation.In addition, we found that overexpression of the isolated C-terminaldomain of phyB enhanced the blue light response not only forroot greening but also for the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation.Analysis of this activity on various photoreceptor mutant backgroundsdemonstrated that the isolated C-terminal domain enhanced cryptochromesignaling. In summary, these results demonstrate that differentdomains of phyB can play various roles which are dependent onlight conditions as well as on the specific physiological response. 相似文献

In order to test the interaction of different phytochromes and blue-light receptors, etiolated seedlings of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., a phytochrome (phy) B-overexpressor line (ABO), and the photoreceptor mutants phyA-201, phyB-5, hy4-2.23n, fha-1, phyA-201/phyB-5, and phyA-201/hy4-2.23n were exposed to red and far-red light pulses after various preirradiations. The responsiveness to the inductive red
pulses is primarily mediated by phyB which is rather stable in its far-red-absorbing form as demonstrated by a very slow loss
of reversibility. Without preirradiation the red pulses had an impact on hypocotyl elongation only in PHYA mutants but not in the wild type. This indicates a suppression of phyB function by the presence of phyA. Preirradiation with
either far-red or blue light resulted in an inhibition of hypocotyl elongation by red pulses in the wild type. Responsiveness
amplification by far-red light is mediated by phyA and disappears slowly in the dark. The extent of responsiveness amplification
by blue light was identical in the wild type and in the absence of phyA, or the cryptochromes cryl (hy4-2.23n) or cry2 (fha-1). Therefore, we conclude that stimulation of phyB by blue light preirradiation is either mediated by an additional still-unidentified
blue-light-absorbing pigment or that phyA, cry1 and cry2 substitute for each other completely. Both blue and red preirradiation
established responsiveness to red pulses in phyA-201/phyB-5 double mutants. These results demonstrate that inhibition of hypocotyl elongation by red pulses is not only mediated by
phyB but also by a phytochrome(s) other than phyA and phyB.

The circadian clock network is well known to link food intake and metabolic outputs. Phosphorus is a pivotal nutritional factor involved in energy and skeletal metabolisms and possesses a circadian profile in the circulation; however, the precise mechanisms whereby phosphate metabolism is regulated by the circadian clock network remain largely unknown. Because sympathetic tone, which displays a circadian profile, is activated by food intake, we tested the hypothesis that phosphate metabolism was regulated by the circadian clock network through the modification of food intake-associated sympathetic activation. Skeletal Fgf23 expression showed higher expression during the dark phase (DP) associated with elevated circulating FGF23 levels and enhanced phosphate excretion in the urine. The peaks in skeletal Fgf23 expression and urine epinephrine levels, a marker for sympathetic tone, shifted from DP to the light phase (LP) when mice were fed during LP. Interestingly, β-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol (ISO), induced skeletal Fgf23 expression when administered at ZT12, but this was not observed in Bmal1-deficient mice. In vitro reporter assays revealed that ISO trans-activated Fgf23 promoter through a cAMP responsive element in osteoblastic UMR-106 cells. The mechanism of circadian regulation of Fgf23 induction by ISO in vivo was partly explained by the suppressive effect of Cryptochrome1 (Cry1) on ISO signaling. These results indicate that the regulation of skeletal Fgf23 expression by sympathetic activity is dependent on the circadian clock system and may shed light on new regulatory networks of FGF23 that could be important for understanding the physiology of phosphate metabolism. 相似文献
