Proline is an amino acid that is degraded in the mitochondria by the sequential action of proline dehydrogenase (ProDH) and pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH) to form glutamate. We investigated the phenotypes of Arabidopsis wild-type plants, the knockout prodh1 prodh2 double-mutant, and knockout p5cdh allelic mutants grown at low and high nitrate supplies. Surprisingly, only p5cdh presented lower seed yield and produced lighter seeds. Analyses of elements in above-ground organs revealed lower C concentrations in the p5cdh seeds. Determination of C, N, and dry matter partitioning among the above-ground organs revealed a major defect in stem-to-seed resource allocations in this mutant. Again surprisingly, defects in C, N, and biomass allocation to seeds dramatically increased in high-N conditions. 15N-labelling consistently confirmed the defect in N remobilization from the rosette and stem to seeds in p5cdh. Consequently, the p5cdh mutants produced morphologically abnormal, C-depleted seeds that displayed very low germination rates. The most striking result was the strong amplification of the N-remobilization defects in p5cdh under high nitrate supply, and interestingly this phenotype was not observed in the prodh1 prodh2 double-mutant irrespective of nitrate supply. This study reveals an essential role of P5CDH in carbon and nitrogen remobilization for reserve accumulation during seed development in Arabidopsis |
