Abstract

The effects of an inhibitor (Abz-E3M) of abscisic acid (ABA) 8′-hydroxylase, which is a primary enzyme of ABA catabolism, on dehydration tolerance and root formation in grape cuttings under drought conditions were investigated. Cuttings of ‘Kyoho’ grape (Vitis labrusca L. × Vitis vinifera L.) were sprayed with 100 μM of Abz-E3M and subjected to water deficit conditions at the stage when their first leaves fully expanded. The physiological and morphological changes in the leaves and basal portions of the cuttings were determined. In Abz-E3M-treated leaves, lower ABA metabolite and higher ABA and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) concentrations were observed. Compared to the untreated control leaves, higher water potential was significantly maintained in Abz-E3M-treated leaves. Abz-E3M applications resulted in lower proline accumulation and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity in the leaves and led to enhanced dehydration tolerance. In addition, the percentage of rooted cuttings was significantly increased by Abz-E3M application. In the basal portion of Abz-E3M-treated cuttings, endogenous IAA concentrations and the gene expressions of VvARF6 and VvARF8, which are positive regulators of adventitious root formation, were significantly increased. Moreover, the expression levels of the negative regulator, VvARF17, were significantly lower. These results suggested that the inhibition of ABA 8′-hydroxylase enhanced dehydration tolerance and adventitious rooting and may be an effective strategy for achieving drought stress tolerance in grape cuttings.
