UV-B radiation, sensed by the photoreceptor UVR8, induces signal transduction for plant photomorphogenesis. UV-B radiation affects the concentration of the endogenous plant hormone gibberellin (GA), which in turn triggers DELLA protein degradation through the 26S proteasome pathway. DELLA is a negative regulator in GA signaling, partially relieving the inhibition of hypocotyl growth induced by UV-B in Arabidopsis thaliana. However, GAs do usually not work independently but integrate in complex networks linking to other plant hormones and responses to external environmental signals. Until now, our understanding of the regulatory network underlying GA-involved UV-B photomorphogenesis had remained elusive. In the present research, we investigate the crosstalk between the GA and UV-B signaling pathways in UV-B-induced photomorphogenesis of Arabidopsis thaliana. Compared with wild type Landsberg erecta (Ler), the abundance of HY5, CHS, FLS, and UF3GT were found to be down-regulated in rga-24 and gai-t6 mutants under UV-B radiation, indicating that DELLA is a positive regulator in UV-B-induced photomorphogenesis. Our results indicate that BBX24 interacts with RGA (one of the functional DELLA family members). Furthermore, we also found that RGA interacts with HY5 (the master regulator in plant photomorphogenesis). Collectively, our findings suggest that the HY5–BBX24–DELLA module serves as an important signal regulating network, in which GA is involved in UV-B signaling to regulate hypocotyl inhibition.
