Microarray hybridization was used to assess acclimation responses to four
UV regimes by near isogenic maize (Zea mays) lines varying in
flavonoid content. We found that 355 of the 2,500 cDNAs tested were regulated
by UV radiation in at least one genotype. Among these, 232 transcripts are
assigned putative functions, whereas 123 encode unknown proteins. UV-B
increased expression of stress response and ribosomal protein genes, whereas
photosynthesis-associated genes were down-regulated; lines lacking
UV-absorbing pigments had more dramatic responses than did lines with these
pigments, confirming the shielding role of these compounds. Sunlight filtered
to remove UV-B or UV-B plus UV-A resulted in significant expression changes in
many genes not previously associated with UV responses. Some pathways
regulated by UV radiation are shared with defense, salt, and oxidative
stresses; however, UV-B radiation can activate additional pathways not shared
with other stresses.
