Roots are important for the growth and development of plants, and auxin is involved in regulating root development. The BS gene is involved in root development and may regulate it through auxin signaling. This study found that the BS gene can restore the shorter primary roots and higher density of lateral roots in a mutant Arabidopsis plant. The BS gene may also upregulate the expression of certain genes involved in auxin signaling by directly binding to their promoter.
Roots play an important role in the growth and development of plants and auxin participates in regulating plant root development. Some studies have shown that BS (BSISTER) gene (the closest gene of class B gene) is involved in plant root development, but whether BS regulates root development via auxin signaling still not clear. To explore VviBS1 and VviBS2 roles in root development, VviBS1 and VviBS2 were overexpressedin Arabidopsis tt16 mutant and we found that they could restore the phenotype of shorter PR (primary roots) and high density of LR (lateral root) of tt16 compared with the wild type Ws Arabidopsis seedlings. However, the addition of exogenous NAA (naphthalene acetic acid) could not significantly promote the PR length of tt16 Arabidopsis, and the auxin signal transduction of tt16 may be blocked. The expression levels of auxin signal transduction pathway genes in Ws, tt16, p35s:VviBS1 in tt16 and p35s:VviBS2 in tt16 seedlings were detected. It was found that the expression of AtARF2, AtARF12, AtARF14, AtARF15, AtARF20, AtGH3, AtGH3-2 and AtSAUR51 genes in tt16 seedlings was higher than that in Ws, while the expression of AtIAA19 and AtIAA29 in Ws seedlings was higher than that of tt16. More importantly, BS may up regulate AtIAA19 and AtIAA29 expression directly by binding to their promoter. In addition, VviBS1 and VviBS2 also affect seed germination and may regulate leaf yellowing by regulating ethylene synthase. Therefore, our findings reveal a molecular mechanism that BS may modulate root system development via Aux/IAA-based auxin signaling, and provide insight into the BS function in regulation of leaf yellowing.
