Diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (DGPP) was recently shown to be a possible intermediate in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. In this study, reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) of ABA-upregulated genes was used to evaluate the ability of DGPP to trigger gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cells. At5g06760, LTI30, RD29A and RAB18 were stimulated by ABA and also specifically expressed in DGPP-treated cells. The use of the Ca2+ channel blockers fluspirilene and pimozide and the Ca2+ chelator EGTA allowed to show that Ca2+ was required for the ABA induction of DGPP formation. In addition, Ca2+ participated to DGPP induction of gene expression via the stimulation of anion currents. Hence, a sequence of Ca2+, DGPP and anion currents, constituting a core of early ABA-signaling events necessary for gene expression, is proposed.
