<i>Arabidopsis</i> CCoAOMT1 Plays a Role in Drought Stress Response via ROS- and ABA-Dependent Manners

Plants possess adaptive reprogramed modules to prolonged environmental stresses, including adjustment of metabolism and gene expression for physiological and morphological adaptation. <i>CCoAOMT1</i> encodes a caffeoyl CoA O-methyltransferase and is known to play an important role in ada...

description Plants possess adaptive reprogramed modules to prolonged environmental stresses, including adjustment of metabolism and gene expression for physiological and morphological adaptation. <i>CCoAOMT1</i> encodes a caffeoyl CoA O-methyltransferase and is known to play an important role in adaptation of <i>Arabidopsis</i> plants to prolonged saline stress. In this study, we showed that the <i>CCoAOMT1</i> gene plays a role in drought stress response. Transcript of <i>CCoAOMT1</i> was induced by salt, dehydration (drought), and methyl viologen (MV), and loss of function mutants of <i>CCoAOMT1</i>, <i>ccoaomt1-1,</i> and <i>ccoaomt1-2</i> exhibit hypersensitive phenotypes to drought and MV stresses. The <i>ccoaomt1</i> mutants accumulated higher level of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> in the leaves and expressed lower levels of drought-responsive genes including <i>RD29B</i>, <i>RD20</i>, <i>RD29A</i>, and <i>ERD1,</i> as well as <i>ABA3 3</i> and <i>NCED3</i> encoding ABA biosynthesis enzymes during drought stress compared to wild-type plants. A seed germination assay of <i>ccoaomt1</i> mutants in the presence of ABA also revealed that <i>CCoAOMT1</i> functions in ABA response. Our data suggests that <i>CCoAOMT1</i> plays a positive role in response to drought stress response by regulating H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> accumulation and ABA signaling.
