Abstract:
Phytochrome A (phyA) is the primary photoreceptor mediating various plant responses to far-red (FR) light. The defense-related phytohorme jasmonic acid (JA) has been shown recently to play a role in regulating phyA-mediated FR signaling. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms governing phyA- and JA-mediated signaling cross talks are still not well understood. Here, we uncover a molecular cascade in which JAZ1 inactivates phyA signaling through repressing the transcriptional activity of FHY3 on FHY1 and FHL. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the expression levels of FHY1 and FHL, and some FR response genes are reduced in the coi1 mutant. These findings unveil a previously unrecognized mechanism whereby JA modulates phyA signaling through repressing the activities of FHY3 by JAZs.
