A NAC transcription factor NTL4 promotes reactive oxygen species production during drought‐induced leaf senescence in Arabidopsis

Lee, Sangmin, Seo, Pil Joon, Lee, Hyo‐Jun, Park, Chung‐Mo·2012·The Plant Journal

Abstract

Summary: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in plant cells primarily as by‐products of aerobic energy metabolism. They are also generated during plant adaptation responses to environmental stresses, such as drought and high salinity. Therefore, plants have evolved ROS‐detoxifying enzymes and antioxidants to cope with ROS accumulation. However, if stress conditions are prolonged, the level of ROS will surpass the capacity of the detoxifying machinery, causing oxidative damage to cellular constituents. It is known that ROS act in abscisic acid‐mediated stress responses to sustain plant survival under adverse growth conditions. However, it is largely unknown how ROS metabolism is linked to stress responses. Here, we show that a drought‐responsive NAC transcription factor NTL4 promotes ROS production by binding directly to the promoters of genes encoding ROS biosynthetic enzymes during drought‐induced leaf senescence. Leaf senescence was accelerated in 35S:4ΔC transgenic plants over‐expressing an active form of NTL4 under drought conditions. The 35S:4ΔC transgenic plants were hypersensitive to drought, and ROS accumulated in the leaves. In contrast, ROS levels were reduced in NTL4‐deficient ntl4 mutants, which exhibited delayed leaf senescence and enhanced drought resistance. These observations indicate that NTL4 acts as a molecular switch that couples ROS metabolism to drought‐induced leaf senescence in Arabidopsis.

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.
