International audience. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key hormone in seed development and germination as well as adaptive responses to environmental stresses. The tissue-specific modulation of its endogenous levels by fine-tuning of synthesis and catabolism determines its physiological action. ABA is derived from cleavage of carotenoid precursors, which is a key regulatory step of the biosynthesis pathway. In Arabidopsis, the 9-cis epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) that cleaves the cis-isomers of violaxanthin and neoxanthin is encoded by a multigene family. ABA inactivation occurs either by oxidation or conjugation and the major route is 8' hydroxylation by the CYP707A subfamily of P450 monooxygenases. A multi-omics analysis was performed on seeds of nced and cyp707a multiple mutants, which respectively exhibit reduced or increased seed dormancy, compared to wild type, in good correlation with their seed ABA contents. Hormone profiles in developing seeds revealed specific contributions of the different seed compartments to ABA production. Combined transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic data in wild type and mutant seeds highlighted important biological pathways that were differentially regulated by ABA levels, giving insights into a potential link with dormancy induction.
