The gibberellins (GAs) are a group of endogenous compounds that promote the growth of most plant organs, including stem internodes. We show that in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) the presence of leaves is essential for the accumulation of bioactive GAs and their immediate precursors in the stem and consequently for normal stem elongation, cambial proliferation, and xylem fiber differentiation. These processes do not occur in the absence of maturing leaves but can be restored by application of C(19)-GAs, identifying the presence of leaves as a requirement for GA signaling in stems and revealing the fundamental role of GAs in secondary growth regulation. The use of reporter genes for GA activity and GA-directed DELLA protein degradation in Arabidopsis thaliana confirms the presence of a mobile signal from leaves to the stem that induces GA signaling.
赤霉素(GAs)是一组内源性化合物,可促进大多数植物器官的生长,包括茎节间。我们发现,在烟草(Nicotiana tabacum)中,叶片的存在对于茎中生物活性 GAs 及其直接前体的积累以及正常茎伸长、形成层增殖和木质部纤维分化是必不可少的。在没有成熟叶片的情况下,这些过程不会发生,但可以通过施加 C(19)-GAs 来恢复,这表明叶片的存在是茎中 GA 信号的要求,并揭示了 GAs 在次生生长调节中的基本作用。在拟南芥中,使用 GA 活性报告基因和 GA 定向 DELLA 蛋白降解的方法证实了从叶片到茎的移动信号的存在,该信号诱导 GA 信号。
