ABA plays a central role in mediating the regulatory effects of nitrate on root branching in Arabidopsis

Abstract

Summary: The formation of lateral roots (LR) is a major post‐embryonic developmental event in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, LR development is inhibited by high concentrations of NO 3–. Here we present strong evidence that ABA plays an important role in mediating the effects of NO 3– on LR formation. Firstly, the inhibitory effect of NO 3– is significantly reduced in three ABA insensitive mutants, abi4‐1, abi4‐2 and abi5‐1, but not in abi1‐1, abi2‐1 and abi3‐1. Secondly, inhibition by NO 3– is significantly reduced, but not completely abolished, in four ABA synthesis mutants, aba1‐1, aba2‐3, aba2‐4 and aba3‐2. These results indicate that there are two regulatory pathways mediating the inhibitory effects of NO 3– in A. thaliana roots. One pathway is ABA‐dependent and involves ABI4 and ABI5, whereas the second pathway is ABA‐independent. In addition, ABA also plays a role in mediating the stimulation of LR elongation by local NO 3– applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
