The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana)BYPASS1(BPS1) gene encodes a protein with no functionally characterized domains, and loss-of-function mutants (e.g.bps1-2in Col-0) present a severe growth arrest phenotype that is evoked by a root-derived graft-transmissible small molecule that we call dalekin. The root-to-shoot nature of dalekin signaling suggests it could be an endogenous signaling molecule. Here, we report a natural variant screen that allowed us to identify enhancers and suppressors of thebps1-2mutant phenotype (in Col-0). We identified a strong semi-dominant suppressor in the Apost-1 accession that largely restored shoot development inbps1and yet continued to overproduce dalekin. Using bulked segregant analysis and allele-specific transgenic complementation, we showed that the suppressor is the Apost-1 allele of aBPS1paralog,BYPASS2(BPS2).BPS2is one of four members of theBPSgene family in Arabidopsis, and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that theBPSfamily is conserved in land plants and the fourArabidopsisparalogs are retained duplicates from whole genome duplications. The strong conservation ofBPS1and paralogous proteins throughout land plants, and the similar functions of paralogs in Arabidopsis, suggests that dalekin signaling might be retained across land plants.
