Inositol phosphate signaling and gibberellic acid.
To respond to physical signals and endogenous hormones, plants use specific signal transduction pathways. We and others have previously shown that second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)] is used in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, and that some mutants with altered Ins(1,4,5)P(3) have altered responses to ABA. Specifically, mutants defective in the myo-inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases (5PTases) 1 and 2 genes that hydrolyze 5-phosphates from Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and other PtdInsP and InsP substrates, have elevated Ins (1,4,5)P(3), and are ABA-hypersensitive. Given the antagonistic relationship between ABA and gibberellic acid (GA), we tested the response of these same mutants to a GA synthesis inhibitor, paclobutrazol (PAC). We report here that 5ptase1, 5ptase2 and 5ptase11 mutants are hypersensitive to PAC, suggesting a relationship between elevated Ins(1,4,5)P(3) and decreased GA signal transduction. These data provide insight into signaling cross-talk between ABA and GA pathways.
