ABSTRACT
Shade avoidance helps plants maximize their access to light for growth under crowding. It is unknown, however, whether a priming shade avoidance mechanism exists that allows plants to respond more effectively to successive shade conditions. Here, we show that the shade-intolerant plant Arabidopsis can remember a first experienced shade event and respond more efficiently to the next event on hypocotyl elongation. The transcriptional regulator PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 7 (PIF7) and the histone H3K27-demethylase RELATIVE OF EARLY FLOWERING 6 (REF6) are identified as being required for this shade avoidance memory. RNA-sequencing analysis reveals that shade induction of shade-memory-related genes is impaired in the pif7 and ref6 mutants. Based on the analyses of enrichments of H3K27me3, REF6 and PIF7, we find that priming shade treatment induces PIF7 accumulation, which further recruits REF6 to demethylate H3K27me3 on the chromatin of certain shade-memory-related genes, leading to a state poised for their transcription. Upon a second shade treatment, enhanced shade-mediated inductions of these genes result in stronger hypocotyl growth responses. We conclude that the transcriptional memory mediated by epigenetic modification plays a key role in the ability of primed plants to remember previously experienced shade and acquire enhanced responses to recurring shade conditions.
