Summary In terrestrial plants, seeds often germinate and initiate early development in the darkness under layers of soil. Soil overlay promotes ethylene accumulation to maintain hook until seedlings reach soil surface. During this phase etiolated growth emergence, perceive changing light fluence. Coordinated interplay signaling pathways ensures optimal timing apical opening enhanced emergence. Here, we report that cooperatively act on B‐box protein BBX32 regulate enhance emergence . Ethylene induces expression dark. CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 degrades dark while enhances during de‐etiolation. bbx32 mutants exhibit accelerated opening, overexpressing lines show delayed opening. Genetic analyses reveal functions concert with PHYTOCHROME‐INTERACTING FACTOR 3 negatively HOOKLESS a PIF3‐dependent manner delay Under cover, 35S:BBX32 reduced seedling respectively. Our study illustrates role synchronizing ethylene‐mediated

ABSTRACT Germinating seeds undergo elaborate de‐etiolation developmental transitions upon initial soil emergence. As central transcription factors promoting cotyledon greening, the abundance of ETHYLENE‐INSENSITIVE 3 (EIN3) and PHYTOCHROME‐INTERACTING FACTOR (PIF3) are strictly controlled by physically associating themselves with EIN3‐BINDING F BOX PROTEINS 1 2 (EBF1/2) for ubiquitination. Here, we report that B‐box zinc‐finger protein BBX32, as a positive regulator during seedling de‐etiolation. BBX32 is robustly elevated dark‐to‐light transitions. Constitutively expressing ultimately protects against severe photobleaching damage synchronizing accumulation protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) differentiation etioplast–chloroplast apparatus in buried seedlings. Specifically, directly interacts EIN3, PIF3 EBF1/2. These associations disrupt assembly SCF EBF1/2 ‐EIN3/PIF3 E3 ligation complexes, thus dampening ligase activity controlling EIN3/PIF3 stability. Under conditions, BBX32‐ox largely rescues greening deficiency EBF1ox , all EIN3ox/bbx32 seedlings override bbx32 mutant defect successfully turn green. Both biochemical findings genetic evidence reveal novel regulatory paradigm which dampens binding to achieve green changes light or environmental conditions.

Summary The optimal timing of transition from vegetative to floral reproductive phase is critical for plant productivity and agricultural yields. Light plays a decisive role in regulating this transition. B-box (BBX) family transcription factors regulates several light-mediated developmental processes plants, including flowering. Here, we identify previously uncharacterized group II member the BBX family, BBX13/COL15, as negative regulator flowering under long-day conditions. BBX13 primarily expressed leaf vasculature, buds, flowers. Its spatial expression pattern similar major time regulators CO FT. bbx13 mutants flower early, while -overexpressors exhibit delayed long days. Genetic analyses showed that acts upstream FT pathway negatively their expression. We found physically interacts with inhibits CO-mediated transcriptional activation . In addition, directly binds CORE2 motif on promoter, site where also binds. Furthermore, our ChIP data indicates reduces vivo binding promoter. Through luciferase assay, All these together suggest BBX13/COL15 represses Arabidopsis by attenuating activity. statement BBX13, protein B-Box factors, thaliana genetically
