Salt stress alters plant development, including the floral transition, but regulation of timing of flowering by salt is poorly understood at the molecular level. To identify genetic loci regulating the floral transition under high soil salinity, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in Arabidopsis thaliana and identified natural variation at the UGT74E1-UGT74E2-BT3 (UUB) locus that correlates with bolting time specifically in response to salt stress. Genetic analysis revealed BT3 as a novel repressor of the floral transition in control conditions. Similarly, the putative IBA glycosylases UGT74E1 & UGT74E2 delay the floral transition in control conditions. Furthermore, we identified that IBA homeostasis regulators TOB1 and ECH2/IBR10 play a key role in the floral transition, and that ECH2/IBR10 are required for the early flowering phenotype of the ugt74e1/ugt74e2 double mutant, indicating that UGT74E1 & UGT74E2 delay flowering by altering IBA homeostasis. A pangenome analysis of the UUB locus revealed variation in the occurrence of the DNA transposon SAUERKRAUT (SKRT). CRISPR-mediated SKRT deletion in Col-0 affected gene expression both within and outside the UUB locus and caused a salt-dependent delayed floral transition. The delayed bolting phenotype of the skrt-2 mutant also depends on ECH2/IBR10 function, indicating that SKRT accelerates the floral transition by altering IBA homeostasis. Finally, targeted demethylation of SKRT resulted in delayed floral transition under salt stress. Taken together, our data show a role for SKRT and its DNA methylation levels in the salt-dependent bolting time response in Arabidopsis, revealing a novel molecular mechanism to control flowering in adverse conditions.

Figure 1. Target of rapamycin complex (TORC) activity is rapidly repressed by salt stress. A) Dose dependance of salt-mediated TOR repression. 35S:S6K1-HA seedlings were treated with different NaCl concentrations for 4 h. Band intensity in the immunoblots indicates the level of total protein (anti-HA in lower panel) or T449-phosphorylated form of S6K1 (anti-p-T449 in upper panel). B) Quantification of relative p-T449 intensity in A). The data represent the ratio of intensity of p-T449 over S6K1-HA, and the value for the sample “0 mM NaCl” was set as 1. C) Time course of salt-mediated TOR repression. 35S:S6K1-HA seedlings were treated with 200 mM NaCl for indicated times. D) Quantification of relative p-T449 intensity in C). The value at 0 min was set as 1. E) TORC activity was restored following salt recovery treatment. 35S:S6K1-HA seedlings were treated with 200 mM NaCl for 15 min, and then transferred to the recovery medium for indicated times. Rec, recovery. F) Quantification of relative p-T449 intensity in E). In B), D), and F), the data represent the ratio of intensity of p-T449 over S6K1-HA, data are means±SEM, n=3 (biologically independent experiments). Different letters in B) and D) represent significant difference between samples by one-way ANOVA (P<0.05, Supplementary Data Set 1). In F), *P<0.05 (one-way ANOVA, Supplementary Data Set 1) Figure 6.The salt-tolerant phenotype shown in raptor1b mutant is abolished in the absence of SOS2/Calcineurin B-Like (CBL)-Interacting Protein Kinase 24 (CIPK24). A) Representative images of Col-0, cipk24, raptor1-2, and raptor1-2cipk24 mutant under normal or salt conditions in post-germination assays. Scale bar: 1 cm. B) Chlorophyll content per 4 seedlings measured at the end of the assay shown in A). Quantitative data are mean±SD of three biological repeats. Statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA. (***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001, n.s., not significant). C) Working model for target of rapamycin complex (TORC), abscisic acid (ABA), and CBL–CIPK signaling pathways to orchestrate growth and salt stress response under changing salinity status. In response to salt stress, ABA pathway and CBL–CIPK pathway dominate, suppressing TORC by phosphorylating RAPTOR1B and slowing down the growth to facilitate stress adaptation. Upon the removal of salt stress, TORC rapidly activates to suppress the ABA- and CBL–CIPK-mediated salt stress response network and promotes plant growth.
