Abstract

Phytochrome double mutant (PhyAB) showed the delayed root gravitropic response compared to the wild type (WT) in Arabidopsis. After 8 hr of gravistimulation, the gravitropic response of mutant showed 48% of the WT. The delayed response started at 1.5 hr after gravistimulation. And we measured the ethylene production in the root segments of WT and mutant for 12 hr. Ethylene production of mutant decreased about 40% of the WT at 12 hr. This result suggested that the phytochrome might be linked with ethylene production in some way. Generally, ethylene inhibits the growth of plant organs including roots. We measured the root growth rate in the presence of ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid), a precursor of ethylene. And WT showed the inhibition of root growth with ACC, but mutant did not show the inhibition as WT did. To confirm the relationship between the ethylene and gravitropic response, we measured the gravitropic response with ACC. In the presence of $10^{-6}$ M ACC, WT showed the 37.4% inhibition compared to the control (no ACC), whereas mutant showed the only 6.6% inhibition of control (no ACC). This research suggested the relationship between phytochrome and gravitropic response through an ethylene production.

Arabidopsis의 피토크롬 2중 돌연변이형 (phrAB)은 야생형 (WT)과 비교하여 뿌리의 굴중성 반응이 지연되었다. 중력 자극을 받은 지 8시간 후에 돌연변이체의 굴중성 반응은 야생형의 48%를 나타내었다 지연된 반응은 중력 자극을 준 후 1.5 시간 뒤에 나타났다. 12시간 동안 야생형과 돌연변이형의 뿌리 절편에서 에틸렌 생성을 측정하였다. 돌연변이형의 에틸렌 생성은 12시간이 경과한 후에 야생형의 40% 정도로 감소되었다. 이러한 결과는 피토크롬이 에틸렌 생성과 연관되어 있음을 제시하고 있다. 일반적으로 에틸렌은 식물의 뿌리나 줄기를 억제한다. 본 연구에서는 에틸렌 전구체인 1-aminocycloprpane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC)를 처리하여 뿌리의 생장을 측정하였다. 야생형은 ACC 존재하에 뿌리 생장이 억제되었으나, 돌연변이형은 야생형만큼 억제를 나타내지 않았다. 이 결과를 확인하기 위하여 ACC 존재하에 굴중성 반응을 측정한 결과, 야생형은 ACC가 없는 경우와 비교하여 37.4%의 억제를 나타냈으나, 돌연변이형은 ACC가 없는 경우와 비교하여 6.6%만을 억제하였다. 이 결과는 피토크롬이 에틸렌 생성을 통하여 뿌리 굴중성 반응을 조절한다는 것을 제시한다.
