Effects of unfunctional RON1 in mutant plants ron1-1 in response to hormonal-induced stress in Arabidopsis

Plants are usually exposed by environmental stresses and in this regard they normally change their hormones levels in order to give a sufficient response to those environmental stresses to ensure their survival. Hereby, morphological and molecular charachteristics of ron1-1 mutant including was evaluated and compared with the Ler-0 wild type plants in response to different concentrations of hormone IAA, ABA, ACC in vitro condition. Plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in a wide range of plant developmental stages and its levels changes when plants are facing with drought stress and pathogens. Vein pattern, lateral root formation, hairy root, stem, root and apical dominance are to be adjusted by auxin (IAA). Plant hormone ethylene is involved in many physiological processes such as germination, senescence, fruit ripening, leaf fall, creating hairy roots. The Morphological conversion in ACC's treated plants is called triple response. Triple response symptom includes root shortness, root thickness and hypocotyl shortness and exajorated hock. Based on the obtained results, there is a significant difference between primary root length, lateral root number, leaf number and rate of germination in mutant seedlings ron1-1 when compared with the wild type seedlings in response to Different concentrations of ABA, ACC, IAA. Overall, the results here indicate that a considerable increase in sensitivity of ron1-1 and old101 mutant plants to stress-induced conditions has been observed in comparison with the Ler-0 plants.
