Increased Abscisic Acid Biosynthesis during Plant Dehydration
نویسنده
چکیده
Excised pea plants were rapidly dehydrated to turgor pressures of 1.5 to 2.0 bars. After a 30 minute lag, abscisic acid (ABA) levels increased approximately 100-fold in the dehydrated plants. Pretreatment of plants with the transcription inhibitors actinomycin D or cordycepin or with an inhibitor of cytoplasmic protein synthesis prior to plant dehydration inhibited the synthesis of ABA. These results suggest that dehydration induced synthesis of ABA requires nuclear gene transcription.

Background: In peppermint, precursors for the biosynthesis of monoterpenes are provided by plastidial methyl-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathways. Objective: In order to increase our understanding of terpene metabolism in M. piperita, the effect of salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA) in the modulation of expression pattern of genes involved in essential oil biosynthesis and secretion wa...
متن کاملThe Arabidopsis trithorax-like factor ATX1 functions in dehydration stress responses via ABA-dependent and ABA-independent pathways.
Emerging evidence suggests that the molecular mechanisms driving the responses of plants to environmental stresses are associated with specific chromatin modifications. Here, we demonstrate that the Arabidopsis trithorax-like factor ATX1, which trimethylates histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3), is involved in dehydration stress signaling in both abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent and ABA-independent pa...
متن کاملTranscriptional and physiological data reveal the dehydration memory behavior in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
Background Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a model biofuel plant because of its high biomass, cellulose-richness, easy degradation to ethanol, and the availability of extensive genomic information. However, a little is currently known about the molecular responses of switchgrass plants to dehydration stress, especially multiple dehydration stresses. Results Studies on the transcriptional...
متن کاملThe Arabidopsis tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein TTL1 is required for osmotic stress responses and abscisic acid sensitivity.
Mutations in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) TETRATRICOPEPTIDE-REPEAT THIOREDOXIN-LIKE 1 (TTL1) cause reduced tolerance to NaCl and osmotic stress that is characterized by reduced root elongation, disorganization of the root meristem, and impaired osmotic responses during germination and seedling development. Expression analyses of genes involved in abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis and c...
متن کاملA vacuolar β-glucosidase homolog that possesses glucose-conjugated abscisic acid hydrolyzing activity plays an important role in osmotic stress responses in Arabidopsis.
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a critical role in various physiological processes, including adaptation to abiotic stresses. In Arabidopsis thaliana, ABA levels are increased both through de novo biosynthesis and via β-glucosidase homolog1 (BG1)-mediated hydrolysis of Glc-conjugated ABA (ABA-GE). However, it is not known how many different β-glucosidase proteins produce ABA from ABA...
