Abstract
Phosphate (Pi) availability is well known to regulate plant root growth. However, it remains largely unknown how flavonoid synthesis participates in affecting plant root growth in response to Pi starvation.
In the study, the crystal structure of a plant protein phosphatase, GmHAD1-2, was dissected using X-ray crystallography for the first time. It was revealed that GmHAD1-2 contained a modified Rossmannoid class of α/β folds with three layered α/β sandwich.
Transcripts of GmHAD1-2 were increased by Pi starvation in soybean roots, especially in lateral root tips. GmHAD1-2 suppression or overexpression significantly influenced soybean lateral root length and number, as well as phosphorus (P) content. Furthermore, GmHAD1-2 was found to interact with a chalcone reductase, GmCHR1. Suppression of GmHAD1-2 significantly changed the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway in soybean roots.
Taken together, the results highlight that GmHAD1-2 can regulate soybean root growth by influencing flavonoid metabolism.
期刊介绍:
New Phytologist is an international electronic journal published 24 times a year. It is owned by the New Phytologist Foundation, a non-profit-making charitable organization dedicated to promoting plant science. The journal publishes excellent, novel, rigorous, and timely research and scholarship in plant science and its applications. The articles cover topics in five sections: Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology. These sections encompass intracellular processes, global environmental change, and encourage cross-disciplinary approaches. The journal recognizes the use of techniques from molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches in plant science. Abstracting and Indexing Information for New Phytologist includes Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, Agroforestry Abstracts, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index, Botanical Pesticides, CAB Abstracts®, Environment Index, Global Health, and Plant Breeding Abstracts, and others.
