The Expression of Light-Regulated Genes in the High-Pigment-1 Mutant of Tomato1

Three light-regulated genes, chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (CAB), ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit, and chalcone synthase (CHS), are demonstrated to be up-regulated in the high-pigment-1 (hp-1) mutant of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) compared with wild type (WT). However, the pattern of up-regulation of the three genes depends on the light conditions, stage of development, and tissue studied. Compared with WT, the hp-1 mutant showed higher CAB gene expression in the dark after a single red-light pulse and in the pericarp of immature fruits. However, in vegetative tissues of light-grown seedlings and adult plants, CAB mRNA accumulation did not differ between WT and the hp-1 mutant. The ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit mRNA accumulated to a higher level in the hp-1 mutant than WT under all light conditions and tissues studied, whereas CHS gene expression was up-regulated in de-etiolated vegetative hp-1-mutant tissues only. The CAB and CHS genes were shown to be phytochrome regulated and both phytochrome A and B1 play a role in CAB gene expression. These observations support the hypothesis that the HP-1 protein plays a general repressive role in phytochrome signal transduction.
