Progression through embryogenesis and the transition to germination
is subject to regulation by many transcription factors, including those
encoded by the Arabidopsis LEC1 (LEAFY
COTYLEDON1), FUS3 (FUSCA3), and
abscisic acid-insensitive (ABI) ABI3,
ABI4, and ABI5 loci. To determine whether
the ABI4, ABI5, LEC1, and FUS3 loci interact or act independently, we analyzed
abi fus3 and abi lec1 double mutants. Our
results show that both ABI4 and ABI5
interact genetically with both LEC1 and
FUS3 in controlling pigment accumulation, suppression of
vivipary, germination sensitivity to abscisic acid, gene expression
during mid- and late embryogenesis, sugar metabolism, sensitivity to
sugar, and etiolated growth. However, the relative strengths of the
observed interactions vary among responses and may even be
antagonistic. Furthermore, the interactions reveal cryptic effects of
individual loci that are not detectable by analyses of single mutants.
Despite these strong genetic interactions, but consistent with the
disparities in peak expression of these loci, none of the ABI
transcription factors appear to interact directly with either FUS3 or
LEC1 in a yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
two-hybrid assay system.
