摘要
植物向光弯曲生长主要是由于其向光和背光面生长素的不对称分布引起。近年来研究发现,在不同强度的蓝光单侧照射下,植物可能存在不同的向光弯曲调节机制。目前,关于向光素PHOT1介导弱蓝光引起的下胚轴弯曲研究较为详细,即PHOT1感受蓝光后,与其下游的信号蛋白NPH3、RPT2和PKS1相互作用,调控生长素运输蛋白的活性及定位,诱导生长素的不对称分布引起向光弯曲。PHOT1和PHOT2以功能冗余方式调节强蓝光引起的植物下胚轴向光弯曲,NPH3可能作为共享调节因子,引发不同的信号转导通路实现功能互补。此外,其他光受体、激素、蛋白激酶、蛋白磷酸酶以及Ca2+也参与了植物向光弯曲的调节。本文就近年来有关植物下胚轴向光弯曲信号组分及可能的网络关系进行总结,并对该研究领域存在的问题及今后可能的研究方向进行展望。
The bending of the seedling stem toward unilateral light is caused by asymmetrical auxin distribution between the shaded and illuminated sides of plant organs. In recent years, genetic analysis has shown that plant may have different mechanisms in response to different light intensities in phototropism. In weak blue light, blue light receptors phototropin1 （PHOT1） regulates phototropism by directly interacting with signaling proteins NPH3, RPT2 and PKS1, resulting in asymmetrical distribution of auxin. In strong blue light, PHOT1 and PHOT2 contribute redundantly to blue-light-induced phototropic curvature of hypocotyls. The NPH3 may act as a common factor in different signaling pathways to complement functions. In addition, other photoreceptors, such as hormones, protein phosphatase and Ca2＋, are also involved in phototropic response. This paper summarized some signaling components and their possible relationship in phototropism, and the problems remained are discussed, finally the possible research directions in this field are proposed.
