Abstract
Submergence-induced hypoxia stress hampers plant growth and yield, yet its molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we found that ETP1/2 are repressed by submergence stress and negatively regulate plant tolerance to submergence. Further analysis showed that the repression of ETP1/2 during the submergence response is at least partly caused by the decreased expression of ARR1/12, as ARR1/12 can directly bind to the promoters via the AGATTTG motifs to activate ETP1/2 expression. ChIP-qPCR, Y1H, and EMSA further confirmed the direct interaction between ARR12 and ETP1/2. Genetic analysis demonstrated that ETP1/2 negatively regulates the submergence response downstream of ARR1/12. Additionally, some SNPs in the ARR1/12 and ETP1/2 promoters are correlated with habitat precipitation, suggesting a possible evolutionary adaptation through these SNPs. Our findings thus establish an ARR1/12-ETP1/2 module for precisely modulating the plant's hypoxic response, offering potential strategies to enhance crop resistance to submergence.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Plant Physiology is a broad-spectrum journal that welcomes high-quality submissions in all major areas of plant physiology, including plant biochemistry, functional biotechnology, computational and synthetic plant biology, growth and development, photosynthesis and respiration, transport and translocation, plant-microbe interactions, biotic and abiotic stress. Studies are welcome at all levels of integration ranging from molecules and cells to organisms and their environments and are expected to use state-of-the-art methodologies. Pure gene expression studies are not within the focus of our journal. To be considered for publication, papers must significantly contribute to the mechanistic understanding of physiological processes, and not be merely descriptive, or confirmatory of previous results. We encourage the submission of papers that explore the physiology of non-model as well as accepted model species and those that bridge basic and applied research. For instance, studies on agricultural plants that show new physiological mechanisms to improve agricultural efficiency are welcome. Studies performed under uncontrolled situations (e.g. field conditions) not providing mechanistic insight will not be considered for publication.
The Journal of Plant Physiology publishes several types of articles: Original Research Articles, Reviews, Perspectives Articles, and Short Communications. Reviews and Perspectives will be solicited by the Editors; unsolicited reviews are also welcome but only from authors with a strong track record in the field of the review. Original research papers comprise the majority of published contributions.
