Major brassinosteroid (BR) effects such as BR-induced growth
are mediated through genomic pathways because RNA synthesis inhibitors and protein synthesis inhibitors interfere with these processes. A
limited number of BR-regulated genes have been identified hitherto. The
majority of genes (such as BRU1, CycD3,
Lin6, OPR3, and TRIP-1) were identified by comparisons of BR-treated versus control-treated plants. However, altered transcript levels after BR application may not
reflect normal physiological events. A complementary approach is the
comparison of BR-deficient plants versus wild-type plants. No
artificial treatments interfere with endogenous signaling pathways, but
a subset of phenotypic alterations of phytohormone-deficient plants
most probably is secondary. To identify genes that are subject to
direct BR regulation, we analyzed CPD antisense and dwf1-6 (cbb1) mutant plants. Both show a
mild phenotype in comparison with BR-deficient mutants such as
cpd/cbb3, det2, and
dwf4. Plants were grown under two different environments
to filter out BR deficiency effects that occur only at certain
environmental conditions. Finally, we established expression patterns
after BR treatment of wild-type and dwf1-6
(cbb1) plants. Ideally, a BR-regulated gene displays a
dose-response relationship in such a way that a gene with decreased transcript levels in BR-deficient plants is BR inducible and vice versa. Expression profile analysis of above ground part of plants was
performed by means of Affymetrix Arabidopsis Genome Arrays.
