  • Title: Interplay between REVEILLE1 and RGA-LIKE2 regulates seed dormancy and germination in Arabidopsis.
    Author: Yang L, Jiang Z, Liu S, Lin R.
    Journal: New Phytol; 2020 Feb; 225(4):1593-1605. PubMed ID: 31580487.
    Abstract:
    Environmental light signal and GAs synergistically regulate seed dormancy and germination. The phytochrome B (phyB) photoreceptor regulates expression of the REVEILLE1 (RVE1) transcription factor, which directly inhibits GIBBERELLIN 3-OXIDASE2 transcription, suppressing GA biosynthesis. However, whether phyB-RVE1 coordinates with GA signaling in controlling seed dormancy and germination remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that RVE1 regulation of seed dormancy and germination requires a DELLA repressor, REPRESSOR OF GA-LIKE2 (RGL2), in Arabidopsis thaliana. RVE1 interacts with both RGL2 and its E3 ubiquitin ligase SLEEPY1 (SLY1) and promotes RGL2 stability by restraining the RGL2-SLY1 interaction. Furthermore, RVE1 and RGL2 synergistically regulate global transcriptome changes; RGL2 enhances the DNA-binding capacity and transcriptional activity of RVE1 in regulating downstream gene expression. Moreover, RGL2 expression is repressed by phyB. Our study reveals a novel regulatory mechanism in which the RVE1-RGL2 module coordinately controls seed dormancy and germination by integrating light perception, GA metabolism and GA signaling pathways.
