Abstract

Brassinosteroid (BR), a plant steroid hormone, plays a critical role in the growth and developmental processes through its canonical signaling and crosstalk with various internal and external signaling pathways. Recent studies have revealed the essential interplay mechanisms between BR and ABA during seed germination and early seedling establishment. However, molecular mechanisms for this important signaling crosstalk are largely unknown. To understand the crosstalk between BR-mediated signaling pathways and ABA functions during early seedling development, we carried out a comparative genome-wide transcriptome analysis with an Agilent Arabidopsis $4{\times}44K$ oligo chip. We selected and compared the expression patterns of ABA response genes in ABA-insensitive bes1-D mutant with wild type seedlings on which ABA was exogenously applied. As a result, we identified 2,353 significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in ABA-treated bes1-D and wild type seedlings. GO enrichment analysis revealed that ABA signaling, response, and metabolism were critically down-regulated by BR-activated signaling pathways. In addition, the genome-wide transcriptome analysis data revealed that BR-regulated signaling pathways were tightly connected to diverse signal cues including abiotic/biotic stress, auxin, ROS etc. In this study, we newly identified the molecular mechanisms of BR-mediated repression of ABA signaling outputs. Also, our data suggest that interplay among diverse signaling pathways is critical for the adaptive response of the plant to various environmental factors.

식물의 유일한 활성 스테로이드 호르몬인 Brassinosteroid (BR)는 다양한 내재적 또는 외부 신호 전달 경로와의 통합적인 결합을 통해 식물의 생장 및 발달 과정에서 중요한 기능을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 식물학 연구들은 종자의 발아와 초기 발달과정에서 BR과 ABA 사이의 필수적인 상호작용 메커니즘이 존재하고 있음을 보고하고 있다. 하지만 이들 두 호르몬의 중요한 신호전달 상호작용에 대한 분자 메커니즘은 거의 알려지지 않았다. 식물의 초기 발달과정에서 BR에 의해 매개되는 ABA 신호전달과의 기능학적, 생물학적 상호작용 네트워크를 이해하기 위해 Agilent Arabidopsis $4{\times}44K$ 올리고 칩을 사용하여 비교 전사체 분석을 수행하였다. ABA에 반응하지 않는 bes1-D 돌연변이체에서의 ABA 처리에 따른 다양한 유전자의 발현 패턴을 야생형 식물과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 발현의 변화가 발생하는 유전자(DEGs) 2,353개를 확인하였다. GO 분석을 통해 ABA 신호전달 및 대사에 관여하는 유전자들이 BR 신호전달 경로에 의해 하향 조절되는 것으로 확인되었다. 뿐만 아니라, BR 신호전달 경로는 다양한 비생물학적/생물학적 스트레스, 오옥신 및 ROS 등 다양한 신호전달 체계와 밀접하게 연관되어 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 BR 신호전달의 활성화는 ABA 신호전달에 관여하는 다양한 유전자들의 발현을 억제함을 확인하였다. 또한 본 연구는 다양한 신호 경로 사이의 상호작용이 다양한 환경요인에 대한 식물의 적응 반응에 중요하게 작용할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.
