Light-Grown but Not Dark-Grown Arabidopsis1

Many auxin responses are dependent on
redistribution and/or polar transport of indoleacetic acid. Polar
transport of auxin can be inhibited through the application of
phytotropins such as 1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA). When
Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings were grown in the light
on medium containing 1.0 µm NPA, hypocotyl and root
elongation and gravitropism were strongly inhibited. When grown in
darkness, however, NPA disrupted the gravity response but did not
affect elongation. The extent of inhibition of hypocotyl elongation by
NPA increased in a fluence-rate-dependent manner to a maximum of about
75% inhibition at 50 µmol m 2 s 1 of white
light. Plants grown under continuous blue or far-red light showed
NPA-induced hypocotyl inhibition similar to that of white-light-grown
plants. Plants grown under continuous red light showed less NPA-induced
inhibition. Analysis of photoreceptor mutants indicates the involvement
of phytochrome and cryptochrome in mediating this NPA response.
Hypocotyls of some auxin-resistant mutants had decreased sensitivity to
NPA in the light, but etiolated seedlings of these mutants were similar
in length to the wild type. These results indicate that light has a
significant effect on NPA-induced inhibition in Arabidopsis, and
suggest that auxin has a more important role in elongation responses in
light-grown than in dark-grown seedlings.
