2. Sumio Iwai, Sho Ogata, Naotaka Yamada, Michio Onjo, Kintake Sonoike, Ken ichiro Shimazaki, Guard cell photosynthesis is crucial in abscisic acid-induced stomatal closure, Plant Direct, 10.1002/pld3.137, 3, 5, e00137, 2019.05, Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are ubiquitous signaling molecules involved in diverse physiological processes, including stomatal closure. Photosynthetic electron transport (PET) is the main source of ROS generation in plants, but whether it functions in guard cell signaling remains unclear. Here, we assessed whether PET functions in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling in guard cells. ABA-elicited ROS were localized to guard cell chloroplasts in Arabidopsis thaliana, Commelina benghalensis, and Vicia faba in the light and abolished by the PET inhibitors 3-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea and 2, 5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone. These inhibitors reduced ABA-induced stomatal closure in all three species, as well as in the NADPH oxidase-lacking mutant atrboh D/F. However, an NADPH oxidase inhibitor did not fully eliminate ABA-induced ROS in the chloroplasts, and ABA-induced ROS were still observed in the guard cell chloroplasts of atrboh D/F. This study demonstrates that ROS generated through PET act as signaling molecules in ABA-induced stomatal closure and that this occurs in concert with ROS derived through NADPH oxidase..

Here, to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the alkaline stress response in S. pombe, we performed DNA microarray analysis. We found that a homolog of human catechol O-methyltransferase 2 (COMT2) is highly upregulated in S. pombe cells exposed to alkaline conditions. We designated the S. pombe homolog as cmt2+ and also identified its paralog, cmt1+, in the S. pombe genome. Reverse transcription PCR confirmed that both cmt1+ and cmt2+ are upregulated within 1 h of exposure to alkaline stress and downregulated within 30 min of returning to an acidic environment. Moreover, we verified that recombinant Cmt proteins exhibit catechol O-methyltransferase activity. To further characterize the expression of cmt1+ and cmt2+, we carried out an EGFP reporter assay using their promoter sequences, which showed that both genes respond not only to alkaline but also to salt stress. Collectively, our findings indicate that the cmt promoter might be an advantageous expression system for use in S. pombe under alkaline culture conditions..
