植物在受到外界环境干旱胁迫时,会启动一系列的生理反应,包括气孔的关闭和ABA的产生,然而,植物如何平衡干旱胁迫和生命周期,并不清楚。SSU72编码C末端结构域(C-terminal domain , CTD)的磷酸化酶,抑制拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)的开花时间。研究发现SSU72参与拟南芥的干旱胁迫应答,SSU72定位于细胞核中,功能缺失的SSU72失水速率快、气孔大,并且气孔的关闭对ABA不敏感;进一步检测下游的基因RD29B, RD22, RD29A 和 COR15A的表达水平,表明SSU72参与ABA和非ABA途径干旱基因的激活。因此,SSU72很可能是对环境适应的重要调节因子,平衡非生物胁迫和生长周期。 |

Abstract: |
The plant physiological adaption including stomata closure and elevated ABA concentration is crucial for survival in response to dehydration stress, however, how plant balances the dehydration and life cycle remains unclear. Here, we reported that SSU72 encoding a C-terminal domain (CTD) phosphatase is involved in flowering time. The results showed that: under dehydration stress, SSU72, localized on the nucleus, was involved in dehydration stress, and the loss of SSU72 function displayed the larger stomata size and increase of the water loss. In addition, the stomata opening was hyposensitive to ABA treatment. The transcripts of dehydration response genes, RD29B, RD22, RD29A and COR15A, were reduced in SSU72 mutant with or without dehydration stress, indicating SSU72 may activate drought stress response in ABA and non-ABA pathways. Together, our study provides a new insight that SSU72 might be a novel factor involving in environmental adaptation, balancing abiotic stress and growth cycle. |
