摘要
Dormant seeds of a root parasitic plant Striga hermonthica sense strigolactones from host plants as environmental cues for germination. This process is mediated by diversified member of strigolactone receptors encoded by HYPOSENSITIVE TO LIGHT/KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 genes. It is known that warm and moist treatment of seed conditioning gradually turns dormant Striga seeds competent to respond strigolactones, while the mechanism behind it has been poorly understood. In this report, we show that plant hormone gibberellins increase the strigolactone-competence by up-regulating mRNA expressions of the major strigolactone receptors during the conditioning period. This idea was supported by poor germination phenotype when gibberellin biosynthesis is depleted by paclobutrazol during conditioning. Moreover, live-imaging with fluorogenic strigolactone-mimic, yoshimulactone green W, revealed that paclobutrazol treatment during conditioning caused aberrant dynamics of strigolactone perception after germination. These observations revealed an indirect role of gibberellins to the seed germination in Striga, which is contrastive to their roles as dominant germination stimulating hormone in non-parasitic plants. We propose a model of how the role of gibberellins become indirect during the evolution of parasitism in plants. Our work also highlight the potential role for gibberellins in field application, for instance, elevating the sensitivity of the seeds towards strigolactones in the current suicidal germination approach to alleviate the agricultural threats caused by this parasite in Africa.
