A novel thiol-reductase activity of Arabidopsis YUC6 confers drought tolerance independently of auxin biosynthesis

Abstract: YUCCA (YUC) proteins constitute a family of flavin monooxygenases (FMOs), with an important role in auxin (IAA) biosynthesis. Here we report that Arabidopsis plants overexpressing YUC6 display enhanced IAA-related phenotypes and exhibit improved drought stress tolerance, low rate of water loss and controlled ROS accumulation under drought and oxidative stresses. Co-overexpression of an IAA-conjugating enzyme reduces IAA levels but drought stress tolerance is unaffected, indicating that the stress-related pheno… Show more

“…48) YUC6 expression is reported in both roots and shoots. 49) YUC7 is expressed in roots and induced in response to drought stress. 37) YUC3 and 9 are expressed in the epidermis of the meristematic region of root tissue and are related to brassinosteroid signaling.…”

“…Presence absence variation among defence response (biotic stress) genes was previously observed among many plant species Li et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2012). PAV of genes involved in water homeostasis may be related to drought stress tolerance (Cha et al, 2015;Harb et al, 2010;Woo et al, 2007). Additionally, PAV among genes involved in signalling has also been observed Enrichment of signalling and defence response genes may be inter-related as complex signalling pathways are activated upon biotic stress detection (Hettenhausen et al, 2015;Meng and Zhang, 2013).…”
