Light is one of the indispensable elements that plants need in order to grow and develop. In particular, it is essential for inducing morphogenesis, such as suppression of hypocotyl elongation and cotyledon expansion, that plants undergo when they first emerge after germination. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the gene expression and, in particular, the translational levels that induce a response upon light exposure. We have investigated the translational expression of nuclear genes inArabidopsis thalianaseedlings germinated in the dark and then exposed to blue monochromatic light. In this study, ribosome profiling analysis was performed in the blue-light-receptor mutantcry1cry2and the light-signaling mutanthy5to understand which signaling pathways are responsible for the changes in gene expression at the translational level after blue-light exposure. The analysis showed that the expression of certain chloroplast- and ribosome-related genes was up-regulated at the translational level in the wild type. However, in both mutants the translational up-regulation of ribosome-related genes was apparently compromised. This suggests that light signaling through photoreceptors and the HY5 transcription factor are responsible for translation of ribosome-related genes. To further understand the effect of photoreception by chloroplasts on nuclear gene expression, chloroplast function was inhibited by adding a photosynthesis inhibitor, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU), and a carotenoid synthesis inhibitor, norflurazon. The results show that inhibition of chloroplast function did not lead to an increase in the expression of ribosome-related genes at the translational level. These results suggest that signals from both the nucleus and chloroplasts are required to activate translation of ribosome-related genes during blue-light reception.
