UV-B irradiation-activated E3 ligase GmILPA1 modulates gibberellin catabolism to increase plant height in soybean
Abstract
Plant height is a key agronomic trait that affects yield and is controlled by both phytohormone gibberellin (GA) and ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation. However, whether and how plant height is modulated by UV-B-mediated changes in GA metabolism are not well understood. It has not been reported that the E3 ubiquitin ligase Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) is involved in the regulation of plant growth in response to environmental factors. We perform a forward genetic screen in soybean and find that a mutation in Glycine max Increased Leaf Petiole Angle1 (GmILPA1), encoding a subunit of the APC/C, lead to dwarfism under UV-B irradiation. UV-B promotes the accumulation of GmILPA1, which ubiquitinate the GA catabolic enzyme GA2 OXIDASE-like (GmGA2ox-like), resulting in its degradation in a UV-B-dependent manner. Another E3 ligase, GmUBL1, also ubiquitinate GmGA2ox-like and enhance the GmILPA1-mediated degradation of GmGA2ox-like, which suggest that GmILPA1-GmGA2ox-like module counteract the UV-B-mediated reduction of bioactive GAs. We also determine that GmILPA1 is a target of selection during soybean domestication and breeding. The deletion (Indel-665) in the promoter might facilitate the adaptation of soybean to high UV-B irradiation. This study indicates that an evolutionary GmILPA1 variant has the capability to develop ideal plant architecture with soybean cultivars.
