タイトル Involvement of boron transporter BOR1 in growth under low boron and high nitrate conditions in Arabidopsis thaliana.
ジャーナル Physiol Plant
Abstract BOR1 is an efflux transporter of boron (B), responsible for loading B into the xylem. It has been reported that nitrate (NO3- ) concentrations significantly influence B concentrations in leaves and BOR1 mRNA accumulation in roots. Here, to unravel the interactive effects of B and NO3- on plant growth and the function of BOR1 under the combination of B and NO3- , seedling growth was analyzed in Col-0 and bor1 mutants. The growth of bor1 mutants was negatively affected by high NO3- but neither by potassium chloride (KCl) nor ammonium (NH4+ ) under low B conditions, suggesting the involvement of BOR1 in growth under high NO3- . Mutants of bor2 and bor4 did not exhibit such growth responses, suggesting that this effect was specific to BOR1 among the BORs tested. Under low B conditions, loss of the BOR1 function led to a more significant decrease in B concentrations in the presence of high NO3- compared to normal NO3- . Additionally, grafting experiments demonstrated that these effects of NO3- occurred when BOR1 is absent in roots. High NO3- treatment elevated BOR1 mRNA accumulation while the BOR1 protein accumulation was downregulated. These apparent opposite responses indicated that the transcriptional and (post-)translational regulations follow different patterns. Our work provides evidence of a novel regulation of BOR1 and another B transport system by both B and NO3- in an interactive manner.
