英文摘要 | Carotenoids, a class of natural pigments found in all photosynthetic organisms, are involved in a variety of physiological processes, including coloration, photoprotection, biosynthesis of abscisic acid (aba) and chloroplast biogenesis. although carotenoid biosynthesis has been well studied biochemically, the genetic basis of the pathway is not well understood. here, we report the characterization of two allelic arabidopsis mutants, spontaneous cell death 1-1 (spc1-1) and spc1-2. the weak allele spc1-1 mutant showed characteristics of bleached leaves, accumulation of superoxide and mosaic cell death. the strong mutant allele spc1-2 caused a complete arrest of plant growth and development shortly after germination, leading to a seedling-lethal phenotype. genetic and molecular analyses indicated that spc1 encodes a putative zeta-carotene desaturase (zds) in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. analysis of carotenoids revealed that several major carotenoid compounds downstream of spc1/zds were substantially reduced in spc1-1, suggesting that spc1 is a functional zds. consistent with the downregulated expression of cao and porb, the chlorophyll content was decreased in spc1-1 plants. in addition, expression of lhcb1.1, lhcb1.4 and rbcs was absent in spc1-2, suggesting the possible involvement of carotenoids in the plastid-to-nucleus retrograde signaling. the spc1-1 mutant also displays an aba-deficient phenotype that can be partially rescued by the externally supplied phytohormone. these results suggest that spc1/zds is essential for biosynthesis of carotenoids and plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. |
