Flower initiation and development in chrysanthemum requires accurate cell division and expansion, which are regulated by a complex network involved with many cell cycle regulators. Mitotic arrest deficiency 1 (MAD1) is a key component of spindle assembly checkpoint, which was reported to regulate floral transition in Arabidopsis through the interaction with Suppressor of FRIGIDA 4 (SUF4) to modulateFloweringLocus C(FLC) transcription. So far, noMAD1,SUF4andFLChomologous genes, and related studies were reported in chrysanthemum. Here we first isolated and cloneClMAD1andClSUF4homologs inChrysanthemum lavandulifolium. Both ClMAD1 and ClSUF4 localized in nuclei, and their expression varied in different tissues. Overexpression ofClMAD1in Arabidopsis promoted endopolyploidization in leaves, and restored cell cycle and flowering phenotypes ofmad1mutants to different extents. Overexpression ofClSUF4in Arabidopsis resulted in significantly late flowering, which was correlated with enhanced transcription ofFLCand reduced transcription ofFTgene. ClMAD1 was predicted to have three coiled-coil (CC) domains, which is one more than that in Arabidopsis. Similar to AtSUF4, ClSUF4 was predicted to have two Zn-C2H2 domains. Protein-protein interaction assays revealed that ClSUF4 could interact with AtMAD1, and the third coiled-coil domain of ClMAD1 not the full-length protein. All these data suggest that bothClMAD1andClSUF4are functional homologs. We further isolated their downstream signaling componentClFLC-like(ClFLCl) genes.ClFLClhad high expression in leaves at vegetative growth stage, and significantly reduced after the bolting suggesting a negative role in the floral transition. Long-term cold treatment significantly repressed the transcription ofClFLClgenes. Temperature shift promoted floral transition of chrysanthemum, which is correlated with the fluctuation ofClMAD1,ClSUF4andClFLCltranscription. Taken together, we reported a novel machinery on the regulation of floral transition in chrysanthemum that ClMAD1 interacts with ClSUF4 to modulateClFLCl-mediated floral transition during the temperature shift.
