InArabidopsis, EARLY FLOWERING3(ELF3) has pivotal roles in controlling circadian rhythm and photoperiodic flowering. In addition, ELF3 negatively regulates leaf senescence by repressing the transcription ofPHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR4(PIF4) andPHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR5(PIF5);elf3mutants senesce earlier andELF3-overexpressing (ELF3-OX) plants senesce later than wild type (WT). Here, we show that in contrast toArabidopsis ELF3, which represses senescence, the rice homologOsELF3.1promotes leaf senescence;oself3.1mutants showed delayed senescence andOsELF3.1-OX plants senesced earlier under both dark-induced and natural senescence conditions. Microarray analysis revealed that in the senescing leaves, a number of senescence-associated genes, phytohormone-related genes, andNACandWRKYfamily genes (OsNAP, ONAC106, andOsWRKY42) were differentially expressed inoself3.1mutants compared with WT. Interestingly, we found thatArabidopsisplants overexpressingOsELF3.1show delayed leaf senescence, produce short petioles, and flower late in long days, just likeArabidopsis ELF3-OX plants. This demonstrates that the regulatory functions ofELF3andOsELF3.1are conserved betweenArabidopsisand rice, but the downstream regulatory cascades have opposite effects.
