Vascular plant one-zinc finger 1 (VOZ1) and VOZ2 negatively regulate phytochrome B-mediated seed germination in Arabidopsis
BIOSCIENCE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY(2020)
摘要
Seed germination is regulated by light. Phytochromes (Phys) act as red and far-red light photoreceptors to mediate seed germination. However, the mechanism of this process is not well understood. In this study, we found that the Arabidopsis thaliana mutants vascular plant one-zinc finger 1 (voz1) and voz2 showed higher seed germination percentage than wild type when PhyB was inactivated by far-red light. In wild type, VOZ1 and VOZ2 expression were downregulated after seed imbibition, repressed by PhyB, and upregulated by Phytochrome-interacting factor 1 (PIF1), a key negative regulator of seed germination. Red light irradiation and the voz1voz2 mutation caused increased expression of Gibberellin 3-oxidase 1 (GA3ox1), a gibberellin (GA) biosynthetic gene. We also found that VOZ2 is bound directly to the promoter of GA3ox1 in vitro and in vivo. Our findings suggest that VOZs play a negative role in PhyB-mediated seed germination, possibly by directly regulating GA3ox1 expression.
