pubmed:abstractText
The onset of leaf senescence is regulated by a complex mechanism involving positive and negative regulators. Among positive regulators, jasmonic acid (JA) accumulates in senescing leaves and the JA-insensitive coi1-1 mutant displays delayed leaf senescence in Arabidopsis. A strong activated expression of the gene coding for the JA-biosynthetic beta-oxidation enzyme 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase 2 (KAT2) in natural and dark-induced senescing leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana is reported here. By using KAT2::GUS and KAT2::LUC transgenic plants, it was observed that dark-induced KAT2 activation occurred both in excised leaves as well as in whole darkened plants. The KAT2 activation associated with dark-induced senescence occurred soon after a move to darkness, and it preceded the detection of symptoms and the expression of senescence-associated gene (SAG) markers. Transgenic plants with reduced expression of the KAT2 gene showed a significant delayed senescence both in natural and dark-induced processes. The rapid induction of the KAT2 gene in senescence-promoting conditions as well as the delayed senescence phenotype and the reduced SAG expression in KAT2 antisense transgenic plants, point to KAT2 as an essential component for the timely onset of leaf senescence in Arabidopsis.
