Regulation of Early Light-Inducible Protein Gene Expression by Blue and Red Light in Etiolated Seedlings Involves Nuclear and Plastid Factors

Early light-inducible proteins (ELIPs) are nuclear-encoded chloroplast
proteins whose genes are transiently transcribed during the greening
process of etiolated plants. In the present work the regulation of ELIP
gene expression by blue and red light has been investigated in plumulas of
etiolated pea plants (Pisum sativum). The results show that the
steady-state level of ELIP transcripts is controlled by a combined action
of phytochrome and blue light receptor systems and, in addition, depends on
the age of the seedlings. Both a low-light fluence system of blue and a
very-low-fluence system of red light are involved in ELIP induction. The
threshold for accumulation of ELIP transcripts was as low as 10-5 [mu]E m-2
s-1 for both light qualities but a different pattern of accumulation was
obtained in blue and in red light. Blue light not only acts at the level of
transcription but also regulates the stability of the ELIP transcripts in a
light intensity-dependent manner. Moreover, it is shown that product(s) of
nuclear gene(s) negatively regulate the steady-state level of ELIP
transcripts during the 1st h of illumination with red light.
Preillumination of seedlings with white light abolishes this repression.
Accumulation of ELIP transcripts requires "plastid factors" in both blue
and red light qualities.
