Key messageA Gretchen Hagen 3-like gene,LaGH3from hybrid larch (Larix leptolepis × Larix olgensis), was identified, and the effects of abscisic acid (ABA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on its transcriptional levels and expression patterns during somatic embryogenesis were analyzed.AbstractA full-length cDNA sequence of a Gretchen Hagen 3 (GH3) gene was isolated from hybrid larch (Larix leptolepis×Larix olgensis) and designatedLaGH3. The cDNA was 2053 bp in length and contained an 1848-bp open-reading frame encoding a predicted protein of 615 amino acids, characterized by four conserved motifs of the GH3 protein family: P-loop, α5, α6, and β8–β9. The 5′-flanking promoter region ofLaGH3was cloned using an improved TAIL-PCR technique. In this region, we identified several auxin- and abscisic acid (ABA)-inducible elements. Expression analysis showed thatLaGH3was induced by indole-3-acetic acid and that its transcript accumulation was inhibited by ABA. Further experiments demonstrated that ABA was the main factor inLaGH3downregulation during the early stage of somatic embryogenesis, although the absence of auxin decreasedLaGH3expression slightly.LaGH3transcripts gradually increased and peaked at 28 days with the rapid development of somatic embryos and then declined as the somatic embryos matured. We suggest that the level ofLaGH3transcripts partly represents the dynamics of endogenous auxin during somatic embryo development in larch. Taken together, our results provide evidence that GH3 genes play important roles in the crosstalk between auxin and ABA by maintaining auxin homeostasis during somatic embryo development.
