- The highly conserved plant microRNA, miR156, affects plant development, metabolite composition, and stress response. Our previous research revealed the role of miR156 in abiotic stress response in Medicago sativa exerted by downregulating SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE transcription factors. Here we investigated the involvement and possible mechanism of action of the miR156/SPL module in flooding tolerance in alfalfa. For that, we used miR156 overexpressing, SPL13RNAi, flood-tolerant (AAC-Trueman) and -sensitive (AC-Caribou) alfalfa cultivars exposed to flooding. We also used Arabidopsis ABA insensitive (abi1-2, abi5-8) mutants and transgenic lines with either overexpressed (KIN10-OX1, KIN10-OX2) or silenced (KIN10RNAi-1, KIN10RNAi-2) catalytic subunit of SnRK1 to investigate a possible role of ABA and SnRK1 in regulating miR156 expression under flooding. Physiological analysis, hormone profiling and global transcriptome changes revealed a role for miR156/SPL module in flooding tolerance. We also identified nine novel alfalfa SPLs (SPL1, SPL1a, SPL2a, SPL7, SPL7a, SPL8, SPL13a, SPL14, SPL16) responsive to flooding. Our results also showed a possible ABA-dependent SnRK1 upregulation to enhance miR156 expression, resulting in downregulation of SPL4, SPL7a, SPL8, SPL9, SPL13, and SPL13a. We conclude that these effects induce flooding adaptive responses in alfalfa and modulate stress physiology by affecting the transcriptome, ABA metabolites and secondary metabolism.
