- Abstract
- Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediate programmed cell death in aleurone cells, which is promoted by gibberellic acid (GA) and prevented by abscisic acid (ABA). Plant mitochondria contain two distinct respiratory pathways: respiration through cytochrome c oxidase increases ROS production, whereas respiration through the alternative oxidase pathway lowers it. While studying the effects of GA and ABA on partitioning of respiration between those two pathways during the germinating process, we discovered that oxidative phosphorylation inhibitors like sodium azide and 2, 4-dinitrophenol induce rapid death of GA-pretreated aleurone cells but not of ABA-pretreated cells. Functional aerobic respiration was required for GA signaling, and 6 to 12 hours of GA signaling altered the cellular state of aleurone cells to be extremely susceptible to inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation. Anaerobic conditions were also able to mimic the effects of respiratory inhibitors in specifically inducing cell death in GA-treated cells, but cell death was provoked much more slowly. Cotreatment with various antioxidants did not prevent this process at all, suggesting that no ROS are responsible for this respiratory inhibitor-induced cell death. Our observation implicates that GA may partition all the electrons produced during mitochondrial respiration only to the cytochrome oxidase pathway, which would at least partly contribute to cellular accumulation of ROS.
