Abstract

How plants perceive water, especially during the critical stages of seed formation and germination, is key to their survival. During development and germination, seeds undergo large changes in water content, down to around 10% during maturation and up to 90% again within 24 hours of germination. We find the evolutionary conserved Arabidopsis plasma membrane protein PM19L1 to be an osmosensor, regulating dormancy and germination under osmotic stress. The PM19L1 protein structurally resembles the yeast osmosensor Sho1, with four transmembrane domains, and PM19L1 complements the osmosensitive sho1 mutant. Arabidopsis pm19l1 mutants have enhanced dormancy and reduced germination under salt and osmotic stress, and enhanced ABA levels. In a striking parallel to osmosensing in yeast, signalling downstream of PM19L1 involves a MAP kinase signal transduction pathway. PM19L1 is a positive regulator of ABI3 , which promotes the late maturation of the seed, and negatively regulates the ABI4 and ABI5 dormancy- regulating transcription factors. These results have implications for the study of dormancy, drought, and salinity tolerance in crops, and may provide an insight into evolutionary adaptation of plants to a terrestrial environment.

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.
