ABI3 regulates ABI1 function to control cell length in primary root elongation zone
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY Post‐embryonic primary root growth is effectively an interplay of several hormone signalling pathways. Here, we show that the ABA‐responsive transcription factor ABI3 controls primary root growth through the regulation of JA signalling molecule JAZ1 along with ABA‐responsive factor ABI1. In the absence of ABI3, the primary root elongation zone is shortened with significantly reduced cell length. Expression analyses and ChIP‐based assays indicate that ABI3 negatively regulates JAZ1 expression by occupying its upstream regulatory sequence and enriching repressive histone modification mark H3K27 trimethylation, thereby occluding RNAPII occupancy. Previous studies have shown that JAZ1 interacts with ABI1, the protein phosphatase 2C, that works during ABA signalling. Our results indicate that in the absence of ABI3, when JAZ1 expression levels are high, the ABI1 protein shows increased stability, compared to when JAZ1 is absent, or ABI3 is overexpressed. Consequently, in the abi3‐6 mutant, due to the higher stability of ABI1, reduced phosphorylation of plasma membrane H + ‐ATPase (AHA2) occurs. HPTS staining further indicated that abi3‐6 root cell apoplasts show reduced protonation, compared to wild‐type and ABI3 overexpressing seedlings. Such impeded proton extrusion negatively affects cell length in the primary root elongation zone. ABI3 therefore controls cell elongation in the primary root by affecting the ABI1‐dependent protonation of root cell apoplasts. In summary, ABI3 controls the expression of JAZ1 and in turn modulates the function of ABI1 to regulate cell length in the elongation zone during primary root growth.

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.
