Arabidopsis PDE1 confers phosphate-deficiency tolerance in primary root growth
Abstract
PDE1 acts as a mediator of primary root growth in response to Pi deficiency. Phosphorus is commonly considered as a limiting nutrient for plant growth, which is mainly due to the immobility and uneven distribution of phosphate (Pi) in soils so that available Pi is not adequate in the rhizosphere. Although various mediators have been identified in Pi sensing and response, more details need to be uncovered in plant Pi-deficiency tolerance. Here, we isolated a mutant, termed pde1 (phosphate-deficiency sensitive 1), showing the hypersensitive Pi-deficiency-induced growth inhibition of primary roots. PDE1 encodes a hydroxyphenylpyruvate reductase with rare activity in vitro and repressed by Pi deficiency. Histochemical analysis displayed that Pi-deprived pde1 accumulated more Fe and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in primary roots than the wild type (WT). Addition of ferrozine, a Fe2+ chelator, or a ROS scavenger (e.g., thiourea and potassium iodide), alleviated the sensitivity of Pi-deficiency in pde1 primary roots. By contrast, pde1 showed reduced cotyledon expansion rate with treatment of H2O2 compared to WT. Taken together, these results suggested that PDE1 is responsible for regulating primary root growth in response to Pi deficiency, which is associated with ROS.
