- Abstract
- The role of brassinosteroids (BRs) in hyponastic growth induced by submergence was investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana. Under flooding conditions, exogenously applied BRs increased hyponastic growth of rosette leaves. This hyponastic growth was reduced in a BR insensitive mutant (bri1-5), while it was increased in a BR dominant mutant (bes1-D). Further, expression of hypoxia marker genes, HRE1 and HRE2, was elevated in submerged bes1-D. These results indicate that BRs exert a positive action on hyponastic growth of submerged Arabidopsis leaves. Expression of ethylene biosynthetic genes, such as ACS6, ACS8 and ACO1, which are up-regulated by submergence, was also activated by application of BRs and in bes1-D. The enhanced hyponastic growth in submerged bes1-D was significantly reduced by application of cobalt ion, suggesting that BRs control hyponastic growth via ethylene, which seems to be synthesized by ACO6 and ACO8 followed by ACO1 in submerged leaves. A double mutant, bes1-Dxaco1-1, showed hyponastic growth activity similar to that seen in aco1-1, demonstrating that the BR signaling for regulation of hyponastic growth seems to be an upstream event in ethylene-induced hyponastic growth under submergence in Arabidopsis.
