    查看更多>>摘要:In flowering plants,sexual reproductive success depends on the production of viable pollen grains.However,the mechanisms by which QUA QUINE STARCH(QQS)regulates pollen development and how transcriptional activators facilitate the transcription of QQS in this process remain poorly understood.Here,we demonstrate that INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1(ICE1),a basic helix-loop-helix(bHLH)transcription factor,acts as a key transcriptional activator and positively regulates QQS expression to increase pollen germination and viability in Arabidopsis thaliana by interacting with INDETERMINATE DOMAIN14(IDD14).In our genetic and biochemical experiments,over-expression of ICE1 greatly promoted both the ac-tivation of QQS and high pollen viability mediated by QQS.IDD14 additively enhanced ICE1 function by promoting the binding of ICE1 to the QQS pro-moter.In addition,mutation of ICE1 significantly repressed QQS expression;the impaired function of QQS and the abnormal anther dehiscence jointly affected pollen development of the ice1-2 mutant.Our results also showed that the enhancement of pollen activity by ICE1 depends on QQS.Furthermore,QQS interacted with CUT1,the key enzyme for long-chain lipid biosynthesis.This interaction both promoted CUT1 activity and regulated pollen lipid metabolism,ultimately de-termining pollen hydration and fertility.Our results not only provide new insights into the key function of QQS in promoting pollen development by regu-lating pollen lipid metabolism,but also elucidate the mechanism that facilitates the transcription of QQS in this vital developmental process.
