Expression
of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene (ADH) of Arabidopsis
is known to be induced by environmental stresses and
regulated developmentally. We used a negative-selection approach to
isolate mutants that were defective in regulating the expression of the ADH gene during seed germination; we then characterized
three recessive mutants, aar1-1,
aar1-2, and aar2-1, which belong to two
complementation groups. In addition to their defects during seed
germination, mutations in the AAR1 and
AAR2 genes also affected anoxic and hypoxic induction of
ADH and other glycolytic genes in mature plants. The
aar1 and aar2 mutants were also defective in responding to cold and osmotic stress. The two allelic mutants aar1-1and aar1-2 exhibited different
phenotypes under cold and osmotic stresses. Based on our results we
propose that these mutants are defective in a late step of the
signaling pathways that lead to increased expression of the
ADH gene and glycolytic genes.
