additional information | the flooding (rf) mutation is analysed in the tomato gene AUREA (AU), it not only led to leaf chlorosis but also causes the spontaneous formation of adventitious roots (ARs) on stems. Under flooding stress, au mutants extensively form ARs along the stem, while wild-type plants produce ARs only at the root-shoot junction. After submergence for 7 days, the resistant to flooding (rf) mutants show higher sensitivity to flooding regarding AR initiation compared to wild-type. Mutation of the AU gene appears to have minimal impact on tomato growth and fruit yield. The flooding resistance of rf mutants mainly results from the accumulation of heme and enhanced HO-1 activity, both of which function in the phytochrome synthesis pathway. In addition, the exchange of substances, including heme, between leaves and stems accounts for AR formation on stems | Solanum lycopersicum |

malfunction | a recessive mutant, exhibiting highly enhanced submergence resistance, is identified. Phenotypical analyses show that this resistant to flooding (rf) mutant displays slightly chlorotic leaves and spontaneous initiation of adventitious roots (ARs) on stems. The mutation is mapped to the phytochromobilin synthase gene AUREA (AU), in which a single amino acid substitution from asparagine to tyrosine is found. Temporal coincidence of the two phenotypes is evidenced in the rf mutant: chlorosis and spontaneous AR formation, revealing that AU functions by maintaining heme homeostasis. Mutation of the AU gene appears to have minimal impact on tomato growth and fruit yield. The rf mutant is highly resistant to waterlogging in contrast to the wild-type, phenotypes, overview. Active HO-1 is necessary for the scion of rf to stimulate ARs in the stock of wild-type, but there is insufficient HO-1 in the wild-type hypocotyls to initiate AR primordium | Solanum lycopersicum |

physiological function | in addition to the classic function of the enzyme phytochromobilin synthase (gene AUREA, AU), in phytochrome and chlorophyll biogenesis in leaves, a role in mediating adventitious roots (AR) formation on stems is uncovered. Genetic evidence for the involvement of the AU-heme oxygenase-1-heme pathway in AR initiation is found in tomato.
