The DDF1 transcriptional activator upregulates expression of a gibberellin‐deactivating gene, <i>GA2ox7</i>, under high‐salinity stress in Arabidopsis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High-salinity stress affects plant growth and development. We have previously reported that overexpression of the salinity-responsive DWARF AND DELAYED FLOWERING 1 (DDF1) gene, encoding an AP2 transcription factor of the DREB1/CBF subfamily, causes dwarfism mainly by levels of reducing bioactive gibberellin (GA) in transgenic Arabidopsis. Here, we found that the GA 2-oxidase 7 gene (GA2ox7), which encodes a C20-GA deactivation enzyme, is strongly upregulated in DDF1-overexpressing transgenic plants. A loss-of-function mutation of GA2ox7 (ga2ox7-2) suppressed the dwarf phenotype of DDF1-overexpressing plants, indicating that their GA deficiency is due to overexpression of GA2ox7. Transient overexpression of DDF1 activated the promoter of GA2ox7 in Arabidopsis leaves. A gel shift assay showed that DDF1 binds DRE-like motifs (GCCGAC and ATCGAC) in the GA2ox7 promoter. In Arabidopsis under high-salinity stress, six GA2ox genes, including GA2ox7, were upregulated. Furthermore, the ga2ox7-2 mutant was less growth retarded than wild-type Col under high-salinity stress. These results demonstrate that, under salinity stress, Arabidopsis plants actively reduce endogenous GA levels via the induction of GA 2-oxidase, with the result that growth is repressed for stress adaptation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
