- Abstract
Summary: Leaf senescence is a complex process strictly regulated by various external and endogenous factors. However, the key signaling pathway mediating leaf senescence remains unknown.Here, we show that Arabidopsis SPX1/2 negatively regulate leaf senescence genetically downstream of the strigolactone (SL) pathway. We demonstrate that the SL receptor AtD14 and MAX2 mediate the age‐dependent degradation of SPX1/2.Intriguingly, we uncover an age‐dependent accumulation of SLs in leaves via transcriptional activation of SL biosynthetic genes by the transcription factors (TFs) SPL9/15. Furthermore, we reveal that SPX1/2 interact with the WRKY75 subclade TFs to inhibit their DNA‐binding ability and thus repress transcriptional activation of salicylic acid (SA) biosynthetic gene SA Induction‐Deficient 2, gating the age‐dependent SA accumulation in leaves at the leaf senescence onset stage.Collectively, our new findings reveal a signaling pathway mediating sequential activation of SL and salicylate biosynthesis for the onset of leaf senescence in Arabidopsis.
