ABSTRACT 46
47
Seed germination is a key developmental transition that initiates the plant life cycle. The 48
timing of germination is determined by coordinated action of two phytohormones, gibberellin 49
(GA) and abscisic acid (ABA). In particular, ABA plays a key role in integrating 50
environmental information and inhibiting the germination process. Utilization of embryonic 51
lipid reserves contributes to seed germination by acting as an energy source, and ABA 52
suppresses lipid degradation to modulate the germination process. Here, we report that the 53
ABA-responsive R2R3-type MYB transcription factor MYB96, which is highly expressed in 54
embryo, regulates seed germination by controlling the expression of ABA-INSENSITIVE 4 55
(ABI4). In the presence of ABA, germination was accelerated in MYB96-deficient myb96-1 56
seeds, whereas the process was significantly delayed in MYB96-overexpressing activation-57
tagging myb96-ox seeds. Consistently, myb96-1 seeds degraded a larger extent of lipid 58
reserves even in the presence of ABA, while reduced lipid mobilization was observed in 59
myb96-ox seeds. MYB96 directly regulates ABI4, which acts as a repressor of lipid 60
breakdown, to define its spatial and temporal expression. Genetic analysis further 61
demonstrated that ABI4 is epistatic to MYB96 in the control of seed germination. Taken 62
together, the MYB96-ABI4 module regulates lipid mobilization specifically in the embryo to 63
ensure proper seed germination under suboptimal conditions. 64

INTRODUCTION 67
68
Seeds are products of plant sexual reproduction and facilitate the spread of offspring. Since 69
plants are sessile organisms with a limited ability to seek favorable growth conditions, seed 70
dispersal is an evolutionary adaptive trait to disseminate their offspring to optimal locations 71
(Bewley, 1997; Nonogaki, 2014). Thus, seeds enable plants to endure environmental 72
disadvantages and confine growth until they encounter favorable environmental conditions 73
(Bewley, 1997). 74
Seed embryogenesis is initiated by double fertilization (Gehring et al., 2004; Berger 75
et al., 2008). While the zygote divides asymmetrically to form the diploid embryo, the triploid 76
endosperm constantly proliferates inside the maternal ovule (Natesh and Rau, 1984; West and 77
Harada, 1993). At the end of embryonic growth phase, cell cycle activities in the embryo are 78
arrested (Raz et al., 2001), and storage molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, 79
accumulate particularly in the cotyledons (Goldberg et al., 1989; Huang et al., 1992; Raz et al., 80
2001). This phase is referred to as seed maturation. Mature seeds become dehydrated and 81
enter a quiescent state that is tolerant to desiccation (Crouch, 1987; Harada et al., 1988; 82
Kermode, 1990; McCarty and Carson, 1991), establishing primary dormancy. 83
Seed dormancy can be broken, when seeds experience stratification and/or after-84
ripening (Vleeshouwers et al., 1995; Bewley, 1997; Nonogaki, 2014). Germination is a key 85
developmental transition to determine when to initiate the plant life cycle. Since it is an 86
irreversible transition, seeds have to precisely monitor external environmental factors, such as 87
light, temperature, water and nutrient availability, and high salinity (Huang et al., 2003; Qu et 88
al., 2008; Joosen et al., 2013; Lim et al., 2013). These environmental signals are integrated 89
into internal developmental programs in seeds, which are operated primarily by antagonistic 90
actions of two phytohormones: ABA and GA (Holdsworth et al., 1999; Finch-Savage and 91
Leubner-Metzger, 2006; Seo et al., 2006). GA promotes germination, whereas ABA 92
suppresses completion of the developmental transition (Garciarrubio et al., 1997; Debeaujon 93
and Koornneef, 2000; Finkelstein et al., 2002; Peng and Harberd, 2002; Ogawa et al., 2003; 94
Lau and Deng, 2010). 95
Transcriptional regulation is a fundamental regulation scheme for the seed 96
germination process (Thomas, 1993; Nakabayashi et al., 2005). The GA function in 97
promoting seed germination is accomplished partly through the action of central GA signaling 98

repressors, DELLA-domain proteins, including GA INSENSITIVE (GAI), REPRESSOR OF 99
GA1-3 (RGA), RGA-LIKE 1 (RGL1), RGL2, and RGL3, all of which act as transcriptional 100
regulators (Hussain and Peng, 2003; Tyler et al., 2004; Cao et al., 2006; Park et al., 2013). 101
They interact with transcription factors to allow DELLAs to regulate gene expression by 102
targeting specific gene promoters (de Lucas et al., 2008; Feng et al., 2008; Arnaud et al., 2010; 103
Gallego-Bartolomé et al., 2010; Hong et al., 2012). Indeed, DELLAs bind to promoters of GA 104
INSENSITIVE DWARF1 (GID1), WRKY27, and SCARECROW-LIKE 3 (SCL3) to control seed 105
germination (Zentella et al., 2007; Gallego-Bartolomé et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2011; Stamm 106
et al., 2012). The DELLA proteins are rapidly degraded in response to GA and are thus 107
considered as repressors of seed germination in the absence of GA (Dill et al., 2001; Tyler et 108
al., 2004). 109
ABA regulation of seed germination also requires ABA-responsive transcription 110
factors. ABA INSENSITIVE 3 (ABI3), ABI4, and ABI5, which encode transcription factors 111
with the B3 domain, APETALA2 (AP2) domain, and basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain, 112
respectively, are expressed highly in seeds and are involved in regulating sensitivity to ABA 113
(Giraudat et al., 1992; Finkelstein et al., 1998; Finkelstein and Lynch, 2000). Indeed, genetic 114
mutants at these loci exhibit reduced ABA sensitivity as well as accelerated seed germination 115
in the presence of exogenous ABA (Finkelstein and Somerville, 1990). They act in concert 116
with each other and form combinatorial networks to determine proper time to germinate 117
(Söderman et al., 2000; Nakamura et al., 2001). 118
In addition to their overlapping roles in ABA-dependent seed germination, ABI3, 119
ABI4, and ABI5 have their own unique functions. ABI4 is particularly interesting in that it 120
plays a unique role in embryonic lipid catabolism during the germination process (Penfield et 121
al., 2006). Seeds utilize lipid reserves to fuel postgerminative seedling growth (Penfield et al., 122
2005; Quettier and Eastmond, 2009), but the lipid catabolic process is inhibited in the 123
presence of ABA in order to delay seed germination, thereby minimizing environmental 124
damage of early seedlings. Notably, ABA specifically represses embryonic lipid breakdown 125
(Penfield et al., 2006). The differential responses of embryo and endosperm to ABA are 126
accomplished by confined expression of ABI4 in the embryo (Penfield et al., 2006). However, 127
the mechanism by which ABI4 is expressed specifically in the embryo and which specific 128
regulator(s) participate in defining its spatial and temporal expression remain unknown. 129

plant responses to ABA, including drought resistance, stomatal conductance, lateral root 131
development, anthocyanin accumulation, and cuticular wax biosynthesis (Seo et al., 2009, 132
2011; Seo and Park, 2010, 2011). Expression of MYB96 is considerably induced by drought 133
stress and ABA (Seo et al., 2009), and it activates expression of many ABA-responsive genes 134
through direct binding to gene promoters to optimize plant growth and fitness under 135
environmentally unfavorable conditions (Seo et al., 2009, 2011; Seo and Park, 2010). 136
Here, we report that MYB96 also plays a key role in ABA control of seed 137
germination. The MYB96 gene was significantly expressed in the embryo and conferred 138
embryonic ABA sensitivity in seed germination as well as triacylglycerol (TAG) breakdown. 139
In the presence of ABA, myb96-ox seeds exhibited delayed germination with reduced lipid 140
breakdown, whereas myb96-1 seeds showed accelerated seed germination and lipid 141
breakdown. The MYB96 regulation of seed germination was largely dependent on ABI4, a 142
key repressor of embryonic lipid mobilization during the germination process. Together, our 143
findings provide evidence that MYB96 is an unequivocal transcriptional regulator of ABI4 144
and defines spatial and temporal specificity of its expression to fine-tune seed germination 145
under unfavorable environmental conditions. 146

RESULTS 149
150
MYB96 Is Expressed in Embryos 151
MYB96 mediates ABA signal transduction in a variety of physiological processes, such as 152
drought response, lateral root development, and cuticular wax accumulation (Seo et al., 2009, 153
2011). Since seed germination is also a key developmental transition governed by ABA 154
(Bewleyl, 1997; Nakashima and Yamaguchi-Shinozaki, 2013), it was highly plausible that 155
MYB96 may also regulate seed germination in an ABA-dependent manner. 156
To explore the role of MYB96 in seed germination, we first determined its expression 157
patterns in seeds. Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that MYB96 transcripts 158
accumulated at high levels in dry seeds (Fig. 1A), and its transcript accumulation was 159
drastically reduced after cold stratification and imbibition. The transcript levels of MYB96 160
were reduced by 98% after stratification compared to those in dry seeds (Fig. 1A) and 161
recovered at seedling stages (Supplemental Fig. S1), implying an inhibitory role of MYB96 in 162
seed germination. 163
Spatial expression patterns of MYB96 were further examined using pMYB96:GUS 164
transgenic seeds, in which a promoter sequence covering an approximately 2-kb region 165
upstream of the MYB96 transcription start site was transcriptionally fused to a β-166
glucuronidase (GUS)-coding sequence. In agreement with the qRT-PCR results, GUS 167
activities were strongly detected in dry seeds (Fig. 1B) and reduced after stratification and 168
imbibition (Supplemental Fig. S2). Moreover, dissection of seeds showed that high levels of 169
GUS expression were observed only in the embryo (Fig. 1B). GUS activity was undetectable 170
in the endosperm and seed coat (Fig. 1B). 171
172
MYB96 Is Induced by ABA in Seeds but not by GA 173
MYB96 is transcriptionally induced by ABA in seedlings (Seo et al., 2009). Considering that 174
ABA content decreases in seeds following stratification and imbibition (Grappin et al., 2000; 175
Shu et al., 2013), decreased expression of MYB96 during seed germination seemed likely to 176
correlate with endogenous ABA levels in seeds. We therefore asked whether ABA induction 177
of MYB96 is also relevant in seeds. 178
To examine the effect of ABA on MYB96 expression in germinating seeds, stratified 179
wild-type seeds were plated on Murashige and Skoog (MS)-medium supplemented with or 180

without ABA. qRT-PCR analysis showed that transcript levels of MYB96 were significantly 181
increased 3.5-fold by exogenous ABA treatment in wild-type seeds (Fig. 1C) (Seo et al., 182
2009). Histochemical analysis also revealed that the ABA induction of MYB96 was mainly 183
observed in the embryo (Supplemental Fig. S3). 184
Seed germination is tightly regulated by antagonistic interactions between ABA and 185
GA (Yano et al., 2009; Yaish et al., 2010). Thus, we next asked whether the promotive action 186
of GA in seed germination is also associated with MYB96 expression. Contrary to ABA, 187
MYB96 was unaffected by exogenous GA treatment (Fig. 1C). Furthermore, MYB96 188
expression was also unchanged in quadruple-DELLA (gai-t6 rga-t2 rgl1-1 rgl2-1) and GA-189
deficient ga1-3 mutants (Supplemental Fig. S4). These observations suggest that MYB96 190
plays a primary role in ABA signal transduction in seeds. 191
192
MYB96 Regulates ABA-Dependent Seed Germination 193
Our observation that seed-expressed MYB96 was regulated by ABA suggested that it might 194
have a physiological role in ABA-dependent seed germination. We therefore measured the 195
germination rate of seeds of wild-type, the MYB96-overexpressing activation-tagging line 196
(myb96-ox; Seo et al., 2009), and the T-DNA insertional MYB96-deficient mutant (myb96-1; 197
Seo et al., 2009) at various concentrations of ABA. 198
Germination rate of myb96-ox and myb96-1 seeds was similar to that of wild-type 199
seeds in the absence of ABA (Fig. 2A). However, in the presence of ABA, the germination 200
rate was substantially reduced in myb96-ox seeds but elevated in myb96-1 seeds compared 201
with wild-type seeds (Fig. 2A). The differential ABA responses of myb96-ox and myb96-1 202
seeds were more evident at higher concentrations of ABA (Fig. 2A). 203
For ABA dose-response assays, seeds were germinated on MS-medium plates 204
supplemented with different concentrations of ABA, and germination percentages were scored 205
2 days after cold stratification. These assays clearly revealed that the myb96-ox seeds 206
exhibited increased sensitivity to exogenous ABA, and the myb96-1 seeds were hyposensitive 207
to ABA relative to wild-type seeds (Fig. 2B). 208
Cotyledon opening is also sensitive to exogenous ABA treatment in the association 209
with seed germination. Cotyledon opening of myb96-ox and myb96-1 seeds was 210
indistinguishable from that of wild-type seeds in the absence of ABA (Supplemental Fig. S5). 211
However, in agreement with seed germination rates, cotyledon opening of myb96-ox was 212

hypersensitive to ABA, whereas the myb96-1 mutants were hyposensitive (Supplemental Fig. 213
S5 and S6). These observations indicate that MYB96 determines ABA sensitivity and 214
regulates ABA-dependent seed germination. 215
216
ABI4 Is Up-Regulated in myb96-ox 217
To establish the molecular networks underlying the MYB96 regulation of seed germination, 218
we monitored expression patterns of genes associated with ABA-dependent seed germination, 219
such as ABA INSENSITIVE 1 (ABI1), ABI2, ABI3, ABI4, ABI5, ACYL-COA BINDING 220
PROTEIN 1 (ACBP1), ARABIDOPSIS HISTIDINE KINASE1 (AHK1), BEL1-LIKE 221
HOMEODOMAIN 1 (BLH1), FY, RING-H2 FINGER A2A (RHA2a), SNF1-RELATED 222
PROTEIN KINASE 2.2 (SnRK2.2), and SnRK2.3 (Finkelstein and Somerville, 1990; 223
Söderman et al., 2000; Carles et al., 2002; Fujii et al., 2007; Tran et al., 2007; Moes et al., 224
2008; Li et al., 2011; Jiang et al., 2012; Du et al., 2013; Kim et al., 2013), in wild-type, 225
myb96-ox, and myb96-1, in the absence of ABA. In seeds, many genes were differentially 226
expressed in myb96-ox and myb96-1, but MYB96 regulation of ABI4 was most likely relevant 227
(Fig. 3A). Expression of ABI4 was reduced in myb96-1 seeds, whereas myb96-ox increased 228
ABI4 expression. To further support the observation, we also analyzed expression of these 229
genes in wild-type, myb96-ox, and myb96-1 seedlings. Most of the genes examined were 230
transcriptionally unchanged in the mutants, but expression of ABI4 was elevated 231
approximately 12-fold in the myb96-ox mutant (Fig. 3B). The ABI3 and ABI5 genes were also 232
slightly up-regulated in myb96-ox (Fig. 3B). However, their expression was not down-233
regulated in myb96-1, possibly due to extremely low expression levels of the genes in wild-234
type seedlings under normal growth condition. 235
Transcript levels of the same set of genes were analyzed in myb96-1 seeds in the 236
presence of ABA. Most of the genes, except for AHK1, FY, and RHA2a, were induced by 237
ABA. Notably, the ABA induction of ABI4 and BLH1 genes was significantly reduced in the 238
myb96-1 seeds compared with wild-type seeds (Fig. 4), while the ABA induction of the others 239
were not influenced. Expression of two genes was also analyzed in germinating myb96-ox 240
seeds in the presence of ABA. Accordingly, their ABA induction was slightly hypersensitive 241
in myb96-ox (Supplemental Fig. S7). While expression of BLH1 seems to be dependent upon 242
MYB96, based on the close correlation between ABI4 expression and MYB96 activity (Fig. 3 243
and 4), we hypothesized that MYB96 is intimately required for proper expression of ABI4 in 244

11
the control of ABA-mediated seed germination. Consistent with this, expression patterns of 245
ABI4 in seeds were similar to those of MYB96. The ABI4 gene was highly expressed in dry 246
seeds, particularly embryo (Söderman et al., 2000; Penfield et al., 2006; Bossi et al., 2009), 247
and its expression was reduced after stratification and imbibition as the transcript 248
accumulation patterns of MYB96 (Supplemental Fig. S8). Their spatial expression patterns 249
were also similar (Supplemental Fig. S9), further supporting the positive regulation of ABI4 250
by MYB96. 251
252
MYB96 Binds Directly to the ABI4 Promoter 253
MYB96 is an R2R3-type MYB transcription factor (Seo et al., 2009). Plant R2R3 MYB-DNA 254
binding domain-containing proteins are known to bind directly to consensus DNA elements 255
that are enriched in adenosine and cytosine residues (Seo et al., 2011; Prouse and Campbell, 256
2013). We therefore asked whether MYB96 binds directly to the consensus motifs on the 257
ABI4 promoter. Sequence analysis revealed that the ABI4 promoter contains five conserved 258
sequence motifs that are analogous to the R2R3-type MYB-binding consensus sequences (Fig. 259
5A). The presence of MYB-binding cis-elements led us to examine whether MYB96 is 260
targeted to the ABI4 promoter. 261
To perform chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, we generated 262
pMYB96:MYB96-MYC transgenic plants. Total protein extracts from control pBA002 and 263
pMYB96:MYB96-MYC transgenic seeds were immunoprecipitated with anti-MYC-antibody. 264
DNA bound to epitope-tagged MYB96 proteins was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR 265
(qPCR) assays. The ChIP analysis showed that the A region of the ABI4 promoter was 266
enriched by MYB96 (Fig. 5B). In contrast, two other genomic fragments containing MYB-267
binding cis-elements, B and C, were not enriched (Fig. 5B), supporting the specific 268
interaction of MYB96 with the A region of the ABI4 promoter. In addition, control ChIP with 269
resin alone did not enrich the A fragment (Fig. 5B). To convince the direct binding of MYB96 270
to the ABI4 promoter, we also generated the transgenic plants expressing the R2R3-MYB 271
DNA binding domain (BD) of MYB96 fused with the MYC-coding sequences (35S:96BD-272
MYC). ChIP analysis revealed that the MYB-DNA binding domain was sufficient to bind to 273
the ABI4 promoter (Supplemental Fig. S10). 274
To confirm the MYB96 binding to core sequences of ABI4 promoter, we performed 275
transient expression analysis using Arabidopsis protoplasts. Two core elements on the ABI4 276

promoter, A-1 (-264, CAAGTAACTTATGA) and A-2 (-335, GCTATAGTTACCCA), were 277
fused to the 35S minimal promoter. A recombinant reporter plasmid and an effector plasmid 278
p35S:MYB96 were cotransformed into Arabidopsis protoplasts. Cotransformation with the 279
reporter A-1 increased the GUS activity by two- to three-fold, but cotransformation with A-2 280
did not affect reporter gene expression (Fig. 5C). These results indicate that MYB96 281
specifically targets proximal sequences upstream of the ABI4 gene to activate its expression. 282
283
MYB96 Contributes to Inhibiting TAG Degradation during Germination 284
Seed germination is elaborately regulated by discrete actions of the embryo and endosperm 285
(Lafon-Placette and Köhler, 2014). An intriguing example is ABA-controlled lipid breakdown 286
and mobilization in the embryo under suboptimal growth conditions (Penfield et al., 2006). 287
Seed TAG degradation is triggered to fuel embryonic growth during germination but is 288
antagonized by ABA specifically in the embryo (Penfield et al., 2006). It is noteworthy that 289
the ABI4 transcription factor is a well-known regulator of this process, which confers 290
differential sensitivity of lipid catabolism to ABA in the embryo and endosperm (Penfield et 291
al., 2006). 292
Since ABI4 is a major regulatory target of the MYB96 transcription factor, we 293
hypothesized that MYB96 may also be responsible for ABA regulation of lipid breakdown 294
during seed germination, similar to the action of ABI4 (Penfield et al., 2006; Wind et al., 295
2013). To falsify the hypothesis, we measured levels of total fatty acid and eicosenoic acid 296
(20:1) in wild-type, myb96-ox, and myb96-1 seeds for 3 days after cold imbibition in the 297
absence or presence of exogenous ABA. In the absence of ABA, the levels of total fatty acid 298
and eicosenoic acid (20:1) were largely indistinguishable in myb96-ox and myb96-1 compared 299
with wild-type seeds (Supplemental Fig. S11). However, in the presence of ABA, the levels of 300
total fatty acid and eicosenoic acid were noticeably altered in myb96-ox and myb96-1. Total 301
fatty acid levels were reduced by approximately 30-35% 3 days after cold imbibition in wild-302
type seeds. However, TAG breakdown was largely repressed in the myb96-ox seeds, whereas 303
43% of total TAG was catabolized in the myb96-1 seeds (Fig. 6A). The levels of eicosenoic 304
acid displayed similar degradation kinetics to total fatty acid (Fig. 6B). These observations 305
demonstrate that MYB96 plays a role in regulating lipid breakdown during seed germination. 306

Our results indicated that the MYB96-ABI4 transcriptional cascade is crucial for ABA 309
regulation of seed germination, probably through lipid mobilization. To confirm the genetic 310
relationship between MYB96 and ABI4, we genetically crossed myb96-ox to the abi4-1 mutant. 311
We investigated the ABA sensitivity of myb96-ox/abi4-1 seeds during germination. 312
Delayed germination was observed in myb96-ox seeds, whereas the abi4-1 mutation led to 313
accelerated seed germination, in the presence of ABA (Fig. 7A). The germination rate of 314
myb96-ox/abi4-1 seeds was comparable to that of abi4-1 (Fig. 7A), indicating that MYB96 is 315
an upstream regulator of ABI4 and that both genes act in the same pathway. 316
In agreement with seed germination rate, eicosenoic acid catabolism of myb96-317
ox/abi4-1 was also indistinguishable from that of abi4-1 (Fig. 7B). A significant amount of the 318
stored TAG was degraded in both genotypes, even in the presence of ABA. Therefore, we 319
conclude that ABI4 is genetically epistatic to MYB96 with respect to the control of ABA-320
dependent seed germination as well as TAG catabolism. 321
Taken together, our observations demonstrate that the MYB96 transcription factor 322
serves as an ABA signaling mediator in modulating seed germination through ABI4-323
dependent embryonic lipid breakdown (Fig. 7C). MYB96 directly regulates ABI4, a key 324
regulator of embryonic lipid mobilization during seed germination, by binding to its gene 325
promoter. Genetic analyses further bolster this genetic hierarchy in the control of seed 326
germination. 327

DISCUSSION 330
331
MYB96 Regulation of ABI4 332
ABA is perceived by receptor protein complexes that are composed of PYRABACTIN 333
RESISTANCE (PYR)/PYR1-LIKE (PYL)/REGULATORY COMPONENT OF ABA 334
RECEPTOR (RCAR), type 2C protein phosphatases (PP2Cs), and SNF1-related protein 335
kinase 2 proteins (SnRK2s) (Raghavendra et al., 2010; Weiner et al., 2010). In the presence of 336
ABA, PYR/PYL/RCAR proteins lead to suppression of PP2C activities, derepressing SnRK2 337
protein kinases to activate ABA-responsive binding factors/ABA-responsive element-binding 338
proteins (ABFs/AREBs) (Fujii et al., 2009; Nishimura et al., 2010; Gonzalez-Guzman et al., 339
2012). Subsequent ABA responses are mediated by a large number of transcription factors, 340
indicating that transcriptional cascades are a fundamental framework in ABA signal 341
transduction (Giraudat et al., 1992; Busk and Pagès, 1998; Finkelstein et al., 1998; Finkelstein 342
and Lynch, 2000; Abe et al., 2003; Pandey et al., 2005; Seo et al., 2009). 343
In particular, the ABI3, ABI4, and ABI5 transcription factors all play a common role 344
in ABA regulation of seed germination by constituting combinatorial networks (Söderman et 345
al., 2000; Nakamura et al., 2001). However, despite their functional similarities, the 346
regulatory mechanisms of ABI3, ABI4, and ABI5 differ markedly. The ABI3 protein is 347
proteolytically degraded by a RING E3 ligase ABI3-INTERACTING PROTEIN 2 (AIP2), a 348
negative regulator of ABA signaling (Zhang et al., 2005). Controlled protein degradation also 349
underlies ABI5 activity regulation. The KEEP ON GOING (KEG) E3 ligase executes ABI5 350
degradation under normal growth conditions (Stone et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2010). In the 351
presence of ABA, KEG is rapidly degraded, promoting accumulation of high levels of ABI5. 352
Additional E3 ligases, such as DWD HYPERSENSITIVE TO ABA1 (DWA1), DWA2, and 353
SIZ1, further fine-tune protein accumulation of ABI5 (Miura et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2010). 354
Compared with ABI3 and ABI5, relatively less is known regarding how ABI4 activity 355
is regulated at the molecular level. This study demonstrates that the MYB96 transcription 356
factor regulates ABI4 expression by binding directly to the gene promoter and defines its 357
spatial and temporal expression. Both MYB96 and ABI4 genes are strongly expressed in the 358
embryo and are responsive to exogenous ABA (Penfield et al., 2006). Furthermore, the 359
promotive effect of ABA on ABI4 expression is largely impaired in the myb96-1 mutant, 360
indicating that MYB96 is an unequivocal transcriptional regulator required for proper 361

15
expression of ABI4 in an ABA signaling pathway. 362
The raising question is how MYB96 activity is regulated by ABA. Given the myriad 363
targets of MYB96, it is likely that MYB96 acts on upstream of ABA signaling pathways. It is 364
probable that controlled protein turnover and/or posttranslational modifications mediated by 365
ABA receptor-like complex might underlie ABA regulation of MYB96 activity, and the ABA 366
induction of MYB96 transcription may be a result of feedback regulation. Further works are 367
required to get the comprehensive view of the signaling network built up from MYB96. 368
369
TAG Degradation during Seed Germination 370
Utilization of seed storage reserves, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, is crucial for 371
driving germination and postgerminative seedling growth (Penfield et al., 2004, 2006; 372
Quettier and Eastmond, 2009), albeit controversial (Pritchard et al., 2002; Kelly et al., 2011). 373
Arabidopsis seeds mainly store TAG as the major carbon reserves, which accumulate at the 374
later stages of seed maturation (Lu and Hills, 2002; Maeo et al., 2009). Following seed 375
imbibition, fatty acids are degraded through β-oxidation (Footitt et al., 2002) and primarily 376
consumed as a form of soluble carbohydrates that are converted by the glyoxylate cycle and 377
gluconeogenesis (Penfield et al., 2005; Pracharoenwattana et al., 2010). In agreement with 378
this, mutants with defective TAG hydrolysis exhibit delayed germination and perturbed 379
postgerminative seedling growth (Penfield et al., 2005, 2006; Quettier and Eastmond, 2009; 380
Kelly et al., 2011). 381
Exogenous ABA provokes delayed germination in part by reducing lipid breakdown 382
(Penfield et al., 2006). Genes involved in conversion of TAG into soluble sugars are down-383
regulated in response to ABA (Pritchard et al., 2002), and thus the levels of fatty acid-derived 384
sugars in ABA-treated seeds are markedly decreased (Pritchard et al., 2002). Notably, the 385
ABA regulation of lipid breakdown is relevant particularly in embryos (Penfield et al., 2006), 386
indicating the differential sensitivity of embryo and endosperm to ABA. The ABI4 387
transcription factor is a major regulator in this process. Embryo-expressed ABI4 negatively 388
regulates lipid mobilization and thus seed germination in the presence of ABA (Penfield et al., 389
2006). 390
In this study, we discover the MYB96-ABI4 signaling module that regulates ABA-391
dependent seed germination process possibly through the control of lipid mobilization. 392
MYB96 not only confers ABA sensitivity to embryos, but also participates in embryonic lipid 393

mobilization to properly regulate seed germination, similar to the role of ABI4 in seed 394
germination (Penfield et al., 2006). The myb96-1 seeds degrade a significant content of TAG 395
even in the presence of ABA, whereas TAG breakdown is largely impaired in myb96-ox seeds. 396
Given that the MYB96-mediated physiological responses in seeds largely depend on ABI4, 397
MYB96 appears to be an explicit transcriptional regulator of ABI4 to define its expression 398
pattern in seeds and to ensure proper seed germination. 399
400
Importance of MYB96-ABI4 Transcriptional Cascades in Seed Germination 401
The MYB96 transcription factor modulates a variety of plant developmental processes in 402
response to ABA, including shoot development, root architecture remodeling, stomatal 403
closure, cuticular wax accumulation, and hormone biosynthesis (Seo et al., 2009, 2011; Seo 404
and Park, 2010). Based on this study, MYB96 also appears to play a role in ABA-dependent 405
seed germination. 406
Multiple functions of MYB96 are achieved by regulating a myriad of transcriptional 407
target genes that underlie a variety of signaling pathways. For example, ABA-induced 408
cuticular wax biosynthesis is mediated by MYB96 regulation of 3-KETOACYL-COENZYME 409
A SYNTHASE (KCS) genes encoding rate-limiting enzymes of the very long chain fatty acid 410
(VLCFA) elongation process (Seo et al., 2011). MYB96-GRETCHEN HAGEN3s (GH3s) 411
transcriptional cascades regulate lateral root development under water-deficient conditions by 412
reestablishing auxin homeostasis (Seo et al., 2009). The RESPONSIVE TO DESSICATION 22 413
(RD22) gene is probably one of regulatory targets of MYB96 that functions in the control of 414
drought tolerance (Seo et al., 2009). LIPID TRANSFER PROTEIN 3 (LTP3) is responsible in 415
part for MYB96 regulation of freezing and drought tolerance (Guo et al., 2013). In addition, 416
the MYB96-ABI4 transcriptional module is crucial for ABA-dependent seed germination. 417
Genetic analysis reveals that delayed germination of myb96-ox is fully suppressed by the abi4 418
mutation, indicating that ABI4 is the principle target of MYB96 in the control of seed 419
germination. Collectively, MYB96 is an important ABA signaling mediator that globally links 420
multiple signaling pathways and thus facilitates plants to trigger efficient physiological and 421
cellular reprogramming for environmental adaptation. 422
Meanwhile, ABI4 integrates a variety of external and internal signals, such as light, 423
ABA, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and soluble sugars (Pesaresi et al., 2007; Shkolnik-424
Inbar and Bar-Zvi, 2010; Kerchev et al., 2011; Yang et al., 2011; Foyer et al., 2012), and 425

17
regulates hormone biosynthesis and sugar and lipid metabolism (Kerchev et al., 2011; Shu et 426
al., 2013; Wind et al., 2013). Thus, ABI4 coordinates developmental programs with 427
environmental signals to optimize plant growth and development processes. MYB96 is 428
particularly relevant in ABA signal transduction to ABI4, and other signaling regulators are 429
likely responsible for transcriptional regulation of ABI4 with respect to other input signals. 430
Taken together, the MYB96-ABI4 signaling module is important for the control of 431
ABA-dependent seed germination. MYB96 precisely conveys ABA signaling to ABI4 in 432
embryos during seed germination, and ABI4 in turn integrates multitude environmental and 433
developmental information to determine proper timing for germination. Multiple 434
transcriptional cascades allow not only for signal amplification, but also enable plants to make 435
integrative decisions. 436
437
438
MATERIALS AND METHODS 439
440
Plant Materials and Growth Conditions 441
Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia-0 ecotype) was used for all experiments described, unless 442
specified otherwise. Plants were grown under long day conditions (16-h light/8-h dark cycles) 443
with cool white fluorescent light (100 μmol photons m-2 s-1) at 23 °C. The myb96-ox and 444
myb96-1 mutants (GABI_120B05) were previously reported (Seo et al., 2009). The abi4-1 445
mutant (CS8104) was obtained from the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center 446
(http://abrc.osu.edu/). The myb96-ox/abi4-1 double mutant was generated by genetic cross of 447
myb96-ox and abi4-1 mutants. Identification of abi4-1 was performed as previously described 448
(Finkelstein et al., 1998). 449
450
Quantitative Real-Time RT-PCR Analysis 451
Total RNA was extracted using TRI agent (TAKARA Bio, Singa, Japan) according to the 452
manufacturer’s recommendations. Reverse transcription (RT) was performed using Moloney 453
Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MLV) reverse transcriptase (Dr. Protein, Seoul, South Korea) 454
with oligo(dT18) to synthesize first-strand cDNA from 2 μg of total RNA. Total RNA samples 455
were pretreated with an RNAse-free DNAse. cDNAs were diluted to 100 μL with TE buffer, 456

18
and 1 μL of diluted cDNA was used for PCR amplification. 457
Quantitative RT-PCR reactions were performed in 96-well blocks using the Step-One 458
Plus Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). The PCR primers used are listed in 459
Supplemental Table S1. The values for each set of primers were normalized relative to 460
EUKARYOTIC TRANSLATION INITIATION FACTOR 4A1 (eIF4A) (At3g13920). All qRT-461
PCR reactions were performed in triplicate using total RNA samples extracted from three 462
independent biological replicates. The comparative ΔΔCT method was employed to evaluate 463
relative quantities of each amplified product in the samples. The threshold cycle (CT) was 464
automatically determined for each reaction by the instrument software using default 465
parameters. The specificity of the qRT-PCR reactions was determined by melt curve analysis 466
of the amplified products using the standard method installed in the system. 467
468
Measurement of GUS Activity 469
Seeds were dissected into embryo and endosperm surrounded with seed coat. For 470
histochemical staining of GUS activity, plant materials were fixed by immersing in 90% 471
acetone for 20 min on ice, washed twice with rinsing solution [50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 472
7.0, 0.5 mM K3Fe(CN)6, 0.5 mM K4Fe(CN)6], and subsequently incubated in staining solution 473
containing 1 mM 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-glucuronide (X-Gluc) (Duchefa, Harlem, 474
The Netherlands) at 37oC for 18-24 h, depending on staining intensity (Padmanaban et al., 475
2007). 476
477
Seed Germination Assays 478
All genotypes were grown at 23°C under long-day conditions, and seeds were collected at the 479
same time. Harvested seeds were dried at room temperature at least 1 month before 480
germination assays. For seed germination assays, 40-50 seeds for each line were sterilized and 481
plated on Murashige and Skoog medium (half-strength MS salts, 0.05% MES, pH 5.7, and 0.7% 482
agar) supplemented with various concentrations of ABA (0, 0.5, 1, 3 μM). Plates were 483
stratified in darkness for 3 days at 4oC and transferred to a culture room set at 23oC with a 16-484
h light/8-h dark cycle. Germination was scored at the indicated time points by counting the 485
frequency of radicle emergence from the seed coat and endosperm. For each germination 486
assay, biological triplicates were performed. 487

19
For investigating the effects of ABA on cotyledon greening, the percentage of 488
cotyledon greening was scored after the end of stratification. Cotyledon greening was defined 489
as complete expansion of cotyledon and greening. 490
491
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Assays 492
ChIP assays were performed as previously described (Yang et al., 2011). pMYB96:MYC-493
MYB96 transgenic plants, anti-MYC antibodies (Millipore, Billerica, USA) and salmon sperm 494
DNA/protein A agarose beads (Millipore, Billerica, USA) were used for ChIP. DNA was 495
purified using phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol and sodium acetate (pH 5.2). The level of 496
precipitated DNA fragments was quantified by quantitative real-time PCR using specific 497
primer sets (Supplemental Table S2). Values were normalized with the level of input DNA. 498
The values in pBA002 control plants were set to 1 after normalization against eIF4a for 499
quantitative PCR analysis. 500
501
Transient Gene Expression Assays 502
For transient expression assays using Arabidopsis protoplasts, reporter and effector plasmids 503
were constructed. The reporter plasmid contains a minimal 35S promoter sequence and the 504
GUS gene. The core elements on ABI4 promoter were inserted into the reporter plasmid. To 505
construct the p35S:MYB96 effector plasmid, the MYB96 cDNA was inserted into the effector 506
vector containing the CaMV 35S promoter. Recombinant reporter and effector plasmids were 507
cotransformed into Arabidopsis protoplasts by polyethylene glycol–mediated transformation 508
(Yoo et al., 2007). The GUS activities were measured by a fluorometric method. A CaMV 35S 509
promoter-luciferase construct was also cotransformed as an internal control. The luciferase 510
assay was performed using the Luciferase Assay System kit (Promega, Madison, WI). 511
512
Fatty Acid Determinations 513
The total fatty acid content and amount of eicosenoic acid (20:1 n-9) in seeds were measured 514
by gas chromatographic analysis with a known amount of 15:0 fatty acid as an internal 515
standard. Samples were transmethylated at 90°C for 90 min in 0.3 mL of toluene and 1 mL of 516
5% H2SO4 (v/v methanol). After transmethylation, 1.5 mL of 0.9% NaCl solution was added, 517
and the fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were transferred to a new tube for three sequential 518
extractions with 1.5 mL of n-hexane. FAMEs were analyzed by gas chromatography using a 519
