Abstract

|
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a vital role in plant development and response to abiotic stress, and many components in ABA signaling remain to be discovered to fully understand the highly complex ABA signaling network. Here we reported that over-expression of MYB28 or MYB99, two R2R3 MYB transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana, confers hypersensitivity to exogenous ABA during seed germination, cotyledon greening and early seedling growth. However, both myb28-1 and myb99-1 knockout mutants exhibit wild-type ABA phenotypes most likely due to a functional redundancy of the multiple MYB members. Real-time PCR analysis shows that over-expression of the MYB28 or MYB99 changes expression of a subset of ABA-responsive genes. Collectively, these findings suggest that MYB28 and MYB99 play important, positive roles in ABA signaling during seed germination and early seedling growth.
