Zusammenfassung:Low-boron triggers the activation of JAR1-dependent jasmonic acid signaling, which interacts with ethylene signaling, and is involved in the inhibition of primary root growth. Abstract Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Jasmonic acid (JA) plays pivotal roles in plant growth, but the underlying molecular mechanism of JA involvement in B-deficiency-induced root growth inhibition is yet to be explored. In this study, we investigated the response of JA to B deficiency and the mechanism of JAR1-dependent JA signaling in root growth inhibition under B deficiency in Arabidopsis. B deficiency enhanced JA signaling in roots, and root growth inhibition was partially restored by JA biosynthesis inhibition. The jar1-1 (jasmonate-resistant 1, JAR1) mutant, and mutants of coronatine-insensitive 1 (coi1-2) and myc2 defective in JA signaling showed insensitivity to B deficiency. The ethylene-overproduction mutant eto1 and ethylene-insensitive mutant etr1 showed sensitivity and insensitivity to B deficiency, respectively, suggesting that ethylene is involved in the inhibition of primary root growth under B deficiency. Furthermore, after a decline in levels of EIN3, which may contribute to root growth, ethylene signaling was weakened in the jar1-1 mutant root under B deficiency. Under B deficiency, B concentrations were increased in the roots and shoots of the jar1-1 mutant, owing to the large root system and its activity. Therefore, our findings revealed that JA, which is involved in the inhibition of root growth under B deficiency, is regulated by JAR1-activated JA and ethylene signaling pathways.
