Abstract:

Mutation on RSM(RADIALIS-like SANT/MYB),a member of the single MYB transcription factor family inverts darkness-induced chlorophyll reduction,and the reason for it is unknown yet. To reveal how RSM regulates chlorophyll accumulation,StRSM 1-overexpressed positive transformant line of Nicotiana tabacum and Solanum tuberosum were generated,and chlorophyll accumulation and other physiologic phenotypes were assayed. The result showed that over-expression of RSM1 led to light green leaf and a less chlorophyll accumulation,and inhibition of RSM 1 expression increased chlorophyll accumulation. Expression assay of genes encoding chlorophyll metabolism and binding demonstrated that over-expression of StRSM 1 increased the expression of chlorophyll-binding protein CP24 under darkness and changed expression pattern of CP24. The above findings indicate that light-responding transcription factor StRSM 1 negatively regulates chlorophyll accumulation. CP24 involves in the regulation. The result will play an important role in further clarifying how RSM 1responds to light and deeply understanding the light response involved in RSM1.
