Interplay Between Abscisic Acid and Jasmonic Acid and its Role in Water-oxidative Stress in Wild-type, ABA-deficient, JA-deficient, and Ascorbate-deficient Arabidopsis Plants

Abstract

The interplay between jasmonic acid (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) in plant responses to water stress and in water-stress-enhanced oxidative stress was investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana plants subjected to water stress by water deprivation. For this purpose a drought assay was conducted using Arabidopsis mutants impaired in ABA (aba2), JA (aos), and ascorbate (vtc1) biosynthesis. Our results show an interaction between ABA and JA during their biosynthesis. Moreover, the coordinated action of ABA and JA protected wild-type, aba2, and aos plants from the effects of stress. However, this effect was not observed in the vtc1 mutant, which showed a distinct decrease in the F v/F m ratio, concomitant with a marked fall in relative water content (RWC), despite high endogenous concentrations of JA and ABA. This finding indicates the relevance of ascorbate metabolism in plant acclimation to stress. Despite the interaction between the two phytohormones, drought-associated stomatal closure is regulated mainly by ABA and weakly by JA, whereas JA plays a role in the formation of antioxidants regulating ascorbate and glutathione metabolism. A time course analysis revealed the relevance of plant age and stress duration in the responses of the mutants compared to wild-type plants. Here we discuss the relationship between ABA, JA, ascorbate, and glutathione in plants under water stress.
