Auxin regulation of gibberellin biosynthesis in the roots of pea (Pisum sativum)

Abstract: Auxin promotes GA biosynthesis in the aboveground parts of plants. However, it has not been demonstrated previously that this interaction occurs in roots. To understand the interactions between auxin and GAs in these organs, we treated wild-type pea (Pisum sativum L.) roots with the inhibitors of auxin action, p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (PCIB) and yokonolide B (YkB), and with the auxin transport inhibitor N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA). These compounds generally downregulated GA synthesis genes and upre… Show more

“…Interestingly, even though gibberellins are implicated in a wide range of processes critical for plant yield, including root growth, seed development, and nodulation (e.g., Ferguson et al 2011;Ross et al 2011), Mendel's le-1 mutation has been used in agriculture for many centuries. This appears to have been possible because the LE gene is only one of a family of GA 3-oxidase genes, with at least one other member having greater expression in the roots and seeds and compensating for any loss of 3-oxidase activity in le-1 plants (Weston et al 2009). …”

“…However, in roots the auxin action inhibitor PCIB caused significantly less inhibition of elongation in la cry-s plants than in phenotypically wild type plants, although this does not distinguish between the effect of auxin on GA synthesis or an effect on the GA response pathway. 15 Likewise, decapitation did not reduce the elongation of young expanding internodes in the DELLA-deficient pea mutant la cry-s (at this stage of development) as it does in plants with a wild-type phenotype (Table 1, p < 0.01). This presumably occurs since GA 1 levels and hence auxin levels are not important for elongation in the absence of the growth-inhibiting DELLA proteins.…”

“…For example, with respect to GA 1 synthesis, the shoot-expressed GA20ox1 gene seems to be only marginally upregulated in pea shoots, with the main effect attributable to the upregulation of Mendel's GA 3-oxidase gene, LE. 12,15 However, in tobacco GA 20-oxidation is strongly upregulated. 14 The reason for this difference is not clear, although at least two hypotheses can be suggested.…”
