The interaction between phytohormones is an important mechanism which controls growth and developmental processes in plants. Deciphering these interactions is a crucial step in helping to develop crops with enhanced yield and resistance to environmental stresses. Controlling the expression level of OsAP2-39 which includes an APETALA 2 (AP2) domain leads to phenotypic changes in rice. Overexpression of OsAP2-39 leads to a reduction in yield by decreasing the biomass and the number of seeds in the transgenic rice lines. Global transcriptome analysis of the OsAP2-39 overexpression transgenic rice revealed the upregulation of a key Abscisic Acid (ABA) biosynthetic gene OsNCED-I which codes for 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase and leads to an increase in the endogenous ABA level. In addition to OsNCED-1, the gene expression analysis revealed the upregulation of a gene that codes for the Elongation of Upper most Internode (EUI) protein, an enzyme that catalyzes 16α, 17-epoxidation of non-13-hydroxylated GAs, which has been shown to deactivate gibberellins (GAs) in rice. The exogenous application of GA restores the wild-type phenotype in the transgenic line and ABA application induces the expression of EUI and suppresses the expression of OsAP2-39 in the wild-type line. These observations clarify the antagonistic relationship between ABA and GA and illustrate a mechanism that leads to homeostasis of these hormones. In vivo and in vitro analysis showed that the expression of both OsNCED-1 and EUI are directly controlled by OsAP2-39. Together, these results reveal a novel mechanism for the control of the ABA/GA balance in rice which is regulated by OsAP2-39 that in turn regulates plant growth and seed production. Hormones play an important role in controlling plant growth and development through a dynamic and complicated set of interactions. ABA and GA are well-known as antagonistic partners although the mechanism through which this occurs still needs further elucidation. In this project, we found that a transcription factor isolated from rice and coding for the AP2 domain (OsAP2-39) directly controls a key ABA biosynthetic gene (OsNCED-1) and also a gene that codes for a GA deactivation protein (EUI). In addition, we show that ABA induces the expression of EUI which in turn would lead to GA deactivation. ABA also suppresses OsAP2-39 expression which would lead to a reduction in ABA synthesis. Therefore, OsAP2-39 links the ABA production and GA deactivation processes which results in ABA/GA balance and homeostasis.
