Carbonic anhydrases, EPF2 peptide and a novel protease, CRSP, mediate CO2 control of stomatal development

ABSTRACT: Environmental stimuli, including elevated CO2, regulate stomatal development1-3 but the key mechanisms mediating the perception and relay of the CO2 signal to the stomatal development machinery remain elusive. To adapt CO2 intake to water loss, plants regulate the development of stomatal gas exchange pores in the aerial epidermis. Diverse plant species show a decrease in stomatal density in response to the continuing rise of atmospheric CO2 4. To date, one mutant, hic5, defective in cell wall wax biosynthesis, has been identified that exhibits a de-regulation of this CO2-controlled stomatal development response. Here we show that recently isolated Arabidopsis thaliana carbonic anhydrase double mutant plants6 exhibit an inversion in their response to elevated CO2, showing increased stomatal development at elevated CO2 levels. We have characterized the mechanisms mediating this response and demonstrate extracellular signaling in the regulation of CO2-controlled stomatal development by carbonic anhydrases. Transcriptomic RNA-Seq analyses show that the extracellular pro-peptide gene EPF2 7,8, but not EPF1 9, is induced at elevated CO2 in wild type, but not ca1ca4 mutant leaves. Moreover, EPF2 is essential for CO2 control of stomatal development. Using cell wall proteomic and CO2-dependent transcriptome analyses, we have identified a novel, CO2-induced extracellular protease, CRSP (CO2 Response Secreted Protease), as a mediator of CO2 controlled stomatal development. Our results identify mechanisms and genes that function in the repression of stomatal development in leaves during atmospheric CO2 elevation, including the CA1/CA4 carbonic anhydrases and the secreted protease CRSP that cleaves the pro-peptide EPF2, which in turn represses stomatal development.

Environmental stimuli, including elevated carbon dioxide levels, regulate stomatal development; however, the key mechanisms mediating the perception and relay of the CO2 signal to the stomatal development machinery remain elusive. To adapt CO2 intake to water loss, plants regulate the development of stomatal gas exchange pores in the aerial epidermis. A diverse range of plant species show a decrease in stomatal density in response to the continuing rise in atmospheric CO2 (ref. 4). To date, one ...[more]

Project description:Atmospheric CO2 concentrations can determine the number of stomata that form on plant leaves (Woodward & Kelly 1995 New Phyt 131: 311-327). The majority of species exhibit reduced stomatal densities at elevated CO2. However, not all plant species react in the same way to elevated CO2 levels and there is a spectrum of effects: Some species increase stomatal densities, some decrease stomatal densities, and some are unaffected. In addition to which, other environmental factors influence the number of stomata that a plant form. Light intensity has also been shown to affect stomatal numbers in various Arabidopsis ecotypes (Schluter et al. 2003 J Exp Bot 54 (383): 867-874; Lake et al. 2002 J Exp Bot 53 (367): 183-193), by increasing stomatal numbers with increasing light levels. There are many changes in gene expression under elevated CO2 conditions, so pinpointing specific genes involved in the stomatal response to CO2 is difficult. In addition, if there is crosstalk between the various signalling pathways affecting ultimate stomatal numbers this complicates further the task of finding genes specifically involved the stomatal response to CO2. Therefore we propose to look at the interaction of two known influences on stomatal numbers, light and CO2, on one specific ecotype, Col-0. We aim to test the hypothesis that light signals interact the CO2 signals that affect stomatal development. Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia-0 ecotype has previously been shown to decrease stomatal numbers in response to a doubling of ambient CO2 concentrations. Col-0 has also been shown to increase stomatal numbers in response to high light intensities. Therefore we propose to grow A. thaliana Col-0 at three light intensities (50 mmol m-2 s-1, 150 mmol m-2 s-1 and 250 mmol m-2 s-1), in both ambient and elevated (double ambient) atmospheric CO2 concentrations. By looking in more detail at how gene expression differs between plants grown at ambient and elevated CO2 at the same light intensities, and also how gene expression differs between plants grown at the same CO2 concentration but different light intensities, we aim to identify those genes involved in the stomatal developmental response to CO2 and whether genes involved in the light response can also be isolated.
