RESEARCH ARTICLE

A Chlorate-Resistant Mutant Defective in the Regulation of Nitrate Reductase Gene Expression in Arabidopsis Defines a New HY Locus

Light acts both directly as a signal and indirectly through photosynthesis to regulate the expression of genes encoding nitrate reductase (NR). Here, we report the isolation and characterization of a novel chlorate-resistant mutant that is defective in the regulation of NR gene expression. The response of NR2, but not NR1 or the gene encoding nitrite reductase (NiR), to light signals was impaired in this Arabidopsis mutant, designated cr88. In addition to NR2, the light regulation of the genes encoding the chlorophyll a/b binding protein (CAB) and the small subunit of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RBCS) was also impaired in this mutant. These results suggest that the pathway through which light regulates the expression of NR2, CAB, and RBCS genes is different from those that regulate the expression of NR1 and NiR. An examination of the deetiolation process under different light spectra showed that cr88 is defective in red light-mediated deetiolation. Complementation tests with various long hypocotyl (hy) mutants indicated that CR88 identifies a new HY locus. The possible functions of CR88 are discussed.
