چکیده
Arabidopsis chotto1 (cho1) mutants show resistance to (-)-R-ABA, an ABA analog, during germination and seedling growth. Here, we report cloning and characterization of the CHO1 gene. cho1 mutants showed only subtle resistance to (+)-S-ABA during germination. The cho1 mutation acts as a strong enhancer of the abi5 mutant, whereas the cho1 abi4 double mutant showed ABA resistance similar to the abi4 single mutant. This suggests that CHO1 and ABI4, but not ABI5, act in the same genetic pathway. Map-based cloning revealed that the CHO1 gene encodes a putative transcription factor containing double AP2 domains. The CHO1 gene was expressed predominantly in seed, with the strongest expression in imbibed seed. Induction of CHO1 expression was observed 4 h after seed imbibition and reached a maximum level at 24 h. Induction of CHO1 expression did not occur in the abi4 mutants, indicating that this is an ABI4-dependent process. Microarray experiments showed that a large number of genes involved in primary metabolism and the stress response were up-regulated in the cho1 mutant. Growth of abi4 and cho1 mutant seedlings was resistant to high concentrations of glucose. In addition, growth of cho1 mutant seedlings was partially resistant to excess nitrate (50 mM), as evident from their expanded green cotyledons. However, their growth was normal under moderate nitrate concentrations (< 10 mM). This nitrate response was specific to the cho1 mutants and was not observed in the abi4 mutants. Taken together, our results indicate that CHO1 regulates nutritional responses downstream of ABI4 during germination and seedling growth.

Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar that plays an important role in plant growth and development. To study the role of trehalose on lipid metabolism and gluconeogenesis, Arabidopsis thaliana wild type (WT) and TreF (a line expressing trehalase) were grown on ½ MS medium with or without 100 mM sucrose and or trehalose in light or continuous darkness. In dark, trehalose leads skotomorphoge...

Metabolism of the alpha-1,1 glucose disaccharide, trehalose, is indispensable in plants. In the Murashigeand Skoog (MS) medium, trehalose inhibits plant growth and allocation of carbon to roots. A suppressorof trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) mediated growth arrest, GR-RBP2, is characterized in more detail.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that GR-RBP2 is a protein of likely prokaryot...
