“…This expression pattern suggests that CBF genes should be involved in responses that are transiently produced when plants are exposed to low temperatures, and fits with the notion that their induction should be an early amplification event in the low-temperature-induced signaling cascade, preceding and prompting the accumulation of transcripts corresponding to CBF-regulated genes. On the other hand, the expression of CBF genes is not regulated by ABA treatment or water stress, two conditions that have been shown to increase plant freezing tolerance (Cloutier and Siminovitch, 1982;Chen and Gusta, 1983;Mäntylä et al, 1995) and induce the expression of most cold-inducible genes (Thomashow, 1994;Hughes and Dunn, 1996;Rouse et al, 1996;Shinozaki and Yamaguchi-Shinozaki, 1996;Capel et al, 1997;Hong et al, 1997;Kirch et al, 1997).…”

“…To date, most characterized cold-regulated genes are also responsive to ABA and water stress (Thomashow, 1994;Hughess and Dunn, 1996;Rouse et al, 1996;Shinozaki and Yamaguchi-Shinozaki, 1996;Capel et al, 1997;Hong et al, 1997;Kirch et al, 1997). To determine whether the accumulation of CBF mRNAs was specifically regulated by low temperature or was also responsive to these treatments, Arabidopsis plants were either treated with 100 m ABA or dehydrated until losing 50% of their initial fresh weight.…”

The Arabidopsis CBF Gene Family Is Composed of Three Genes Encoding AP2 Domain-Containing Proteins Whose Expression Is Regulated by Low Temperature but Not by Abscisic Acid or Dehydration1

We have identified two genes from Arabidopsis that show high similarity with CBF1, a gene encoding an AP2 domain-containing transcriptional activator that binds to the low-temperatureresponsive element CCGAC and induces the expression of some cold-regulated genes, increasing plant freezing tolerance. These two genes, which we have named CBF2 and CBF3, also encode proteins containing AP2 DNA-binding motifs. Furthermore, like CBF1, CBF2 and CBF3 proteins also include putative nuclear-localization signals and potential acidic activation domains. The CBF2 and CBF3 genes are linked to CBF1, constituting a cluster on the bottom arm of chromosome IV. The high level of similarity among the three CBF genes, their tandem organization, and the fact that they have the same transcriptional orientation all suggest a common origin. CBF1, CBF2, and CBF3 show identical expression patterns, being induced very rapidly by low-temperature treatment. However, in contrast to most of the cold-induced plant genes characterized, they are not responsive to abscisic acid or dehydration. Taken together, all of these data suggest that CBF2 and CBF3 may function as transcriptional activators, controlling the level of low-temperature gene expression and promoting freezing tolerance through an abscisic acid-independent pathway.

“…The induction by jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate of CpDHN1 (Y 2 K dehydrin) from Cicer pinnatifidum and of PgDHN1 (S 8 K 4 dehydrin) from white spruce Picea glauca was reported in references 71 and 72. Rouse et al 73 performed a promoter analysis of A. thaliana cold-inducible Kn-type dehydrin gene Lti30 (Xero 2) using GUS reporter gene and they concluded that the Lti30 promoter also displayed wounding-induction among other treatments. Sun et al 74 have observed a positive effect of low concentrations of exogenous salicylic acid (up to 0.25 mM) on the expression of drought-inducible dehydrins in barley seedlings subjected to drought stress.…”

“…Dehydrin genes are induced by stresses such as low temperature, drought, salts, and treatment with abscisic acid (Rouse et al, 1996;Nylander et al, 2001). In addition, several Arabidopsis dehydrin genes show tissue and cell type specificity in unstressed plants, which suggests a possible function under nonstress conditions (Nylander et al, 2001).…”

Global Identification of Target Genes Regulated by APETALA3 and PISTILLATA Floral Homeotic Gene Action

Identifying the genes regulated by the floral homeotic genes APETALA3 ( AP3 ) and PISTILLATA ( PI ) is crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms that lead to petal and stamen formation. We have used microarray analysis to conduct a broad survey of genes whose expression is affected by AP3 and PI activity. DNA microarrays consisting of 9216 Arabidopsis ESTs were screened with probes corresponding to mRNAs from different mutant and transgenic lines that misexpress AP3 and/or PI . The microarray results were further confirmed by RNA gel blot analyses. Our results suggest that AP3 and PI regulate a relatively small number of genes, implying that many genes used in petal and stamen development are not tissue specific and likely have roles in other processes as well. We recovered genes similar to previously identified petal-and stamen-expressed genes as well as genes that were not implicated previously in petal and stamen development. A very low percentage of the genes recovered encoded transcription factors. This finding suggests that AP3 and PI act relatively directly to regulate the genes required for the basic cellular processes responsible for petal and stamen morphogenesis.
