Brassinosteriod (BR) plays important roles in regulation of plant growth,
development and environmental responses. BR signaling regulates multiple
biological processes through controlling the activity of BES1/BZR1 regulators.
Apart from the roles in the promotion of plant growth, BR is also involved in
regulation of the root foraging response under low nitrogen, however how BR
signaling regulate this process remains unclear. Here we show that BES1 and
LBD37 antagonistically regulate root foraging response under low nitrogen
conditions. Both the transcriptional level and dephosphorylated level of BES1, is
significant induced by low nitrogen, predominantly in root. Phenotypic analysis
showed that BES1 gain-of-function mutant or BES1 overexpression transgenic
plants exhibits progressive outgrowth of lateral root in response to low
nitrogen and BES1 negatively regulates repressors of nitrate signaling
pathway and positively regulates several key genes required for NO3
- uptake
and signaling. In contrast, BES1 knock-down mutant BES1-RNAi exhibited a
dramatical reduction of lateral root elongation in response to low N.
Furthermore, we identified a BES1 interacting protein, LBD37, which is a
negative repressor of N availability signals. Our results showed that BES1 can
inhibit LBD37 transcriptional repression on N-responsive genes. Our results
thus demonstrated that BES1-LBD37 module acts critical nodes to integrate BR
signaling and nitrogen signaling to modulate the root forging response at
LN condition.
