Light is both the main source of energy and a key environmental signal for plants. It regulates not only gene expression but also the tightly related processes of splicing and alternative splicing (AS). Two main pathways have been proposed to link light sensing with the splicing machinery. One occurs through a photosynthesis-related signal, and the other is mediated by photosensory proteins, such as red light-sensing phytochromes. Here, we evaluated the relative contribution of each of these pathways by performing a transcriptome-wide analysis of light regulation of AS in plants that do not express any functional phytochrome (phyQ). We found that an acute 2-h red-light pulse in the middle of the night induces changes in the splicing patterns of 483 genes in wild-type plants. Approximately 30% of these genes also showed strong light regulation of splicing patterns in phyQ mutant plants, revealing that phytochromes are important but not essential for the regulation of AS by R light. We then performed a meta-analysis of related transcriptomic datasets and found that different light regulatory pathways can have overlapping targets in terms of AS regulation. All the evidence suggests that AS is regulated simultaneously by various light signaling pathways, and the relative contribution of each pathway is highly dependent on the plant developmental stage. |
