Résumé

Abstract The SWI/SNF (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable) chromatin remodeling complex is involved in various aspects of plant development and stress responses. Here, we investigated the role of BRM (BRAHMA), a core catalytic subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, in Arabidopsis thaliana seed biology. brm-3 seeds exhibited enlarged size, reduced yield, increased longevity, and enhanced secondary dormancy, but did not show changes in primary dormancy or salt tolerance. Some of these phenotypes depended on the expression of DOG1, a key regulator of seed dormancy, as they were restored in the brm-3 dog1-4 double mutant. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that BRM and DOG1 synergistically modulate the expression of numerous genes. Some of the changes observed in the brm-3 mutant, including increased glutathione levels, depended on a functional DOG1. We demonstrated that the BRM-containing chromatin remodeling complex directly controls secondary dormancy through DOG1 by binding and remodeling its 3’ region, where the promoter of the long non-coding RNA asDOG1 is located. Our results suggest that BRM and DOG1 cooperate to control seed physiological properties and that BRM regulates DOG1 expression through asDOG1. This study reveals chromatin remodeling at the DOG1 locus as a molecular mechanism controlling the interplay between seed viability and dormancy.
