Phytosulfokine α (PSKα) delays senescence and reinforces SUMO1/SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 signaling pathway in cut rose flowers (Rosa hybrida cv. Angelina)

Abstract Roses are widely used as cut flowers worldwide. Petal senescence confines the decorative quality of cut rose flowers, an impressively considerable economic loss. Herein, we investigated the SUMO1/SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 signaling pathway during bud opening, and petal senescence of cut rose flow...

Sumario:Abstract Roses are widely used as cut flowers worldwide. Petal senescence confines the decorative quality of cut rose flowers, an impressively considerable economic loss. Herein, we investigated the SUMO1/SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 signaling pathway during bud opening, and petal senescence of cut rose flowers. Our results exhibited that the higher expression of SUMO1 and SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 during bud opening was accompanied by lower endogenous H2O2 accumulation arising from higher expression and activities of SOD, CAT, APX, and GR, promoting proline accumulation by increasing P5CS expression and activity and enhancing GABA accumulation by increasing GAD expression and activity. In harvested flowers, lower expressions of SUMO1 and SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 during petal senescence were associated with higher endogenous H2O2 accumulation due to lower expression and activities of SOD, CAT, APX, and GR. Therefore, promoting the activity of the GABA shunt pathway as realized by higher expression and activities of GABA-T and SSADH accompanied by increasing OAT expression and activity for sufficiently supply proline in rose flowers during petal senescence might serve as an endogenous antisenescence mechanism for slowing down petals senescence by avoiding endogenous H2O2 accumulation. Following phytosulfokine α (PSKα) application, postponing petal senescence in cut rose flowers could be ascribed to higher expression of SUMO1 and SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 accompanied by higher expression and activities of SOD, CAT, APX, and GR, higher activity of GABA shunt pathway as realized by higher expression and activities of GAD, GABA-T, and SSADH, higher expression and activities of P5CS and OAT for supplying proline and higher expression of HSP70 and HSP90. Therefore, our results highlight the potential of the PSKα as a promising antisenescence signaling peptide in the floriculture industry for postponing senescence and extending the vase life of cut rose flowers.
