The functional importance of Chrysanthemum morifolium CmBCH1 and CmBCH2 genes in regulating zeaxanthin production was studied by overexpressing them in Arabidopsis thaliana. Transgenic plants showed improved resistance to high light stress compared to wild-type plants, with changes in various phenotypic and physiological characteristics, carotenoid biosynthesis, and gene expression.
The beta-carotene hydroxylase gene (BCH) regulates zeaxanthin production in response to high light levels ro protect Chrysanthemum morifolium plants against light-induced damage. In this study, the Chrysanthemum mor-ifolium CmBCH1 and CmBCH2 genes were cloned and their functional importance was assessed by overexpressing them in Arabidopsis thaliana. These transgenic plants were evaluated for gene-related changes in phenotypic characteristics, photosynthetic activity, fluorescence properties, carotenoid biosynthesis, aboveground/below-ground biomass, pigment content, and the expression of light-regulated genes under conditions of high light stress relative to wild-type (WT) plants. When exposed to high light stress, WT A. thaliana leaves turned yellow and the overall biomass was reduced compared to that of the transgenic plants. WT plants exposed to high light stress also exhibited significant reductions in the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, Fv/Fm, qP, and ETR, whereas these changes were not observed in the transgenic CmBCH1 and CmBCH2 plants. Lutein and zaxanthin levels were significantly increased in the transgenic CmBCH1 and CmBCH2 lines, with progressive induction with prolonged light exposure, whereas no significant changes were observed in light-exposed WT plants. The transgenic plants also expressed higher levels of most carotenoid biosynthesis pathway genes, including phytoene synthase (AtPSY), phytoene desaturase (AtPDS), lycopene-beta-cyclase (AtLYCB), and zeta-carotene desaturase (AtZDS). The elongated hypocotyl 5 (HY5) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) genes were signifi-cantly induced following exposure to high light conditions for 12h, whereas phytochrome-interacting factor 7 (PIF7) was significantly downregulated in these plants.
