Plasmid construction for estrogen inducible RNAi. To construct the plasmid for estrogen-inducible silencing of tAPX, DNA fragment containing the 3’-untranslational region of tAPX was cloned into the donor vector, pDONR201, and then recloned into the destination vector, pGWB80. An open reading frame of the beta-Glucuronidase (GUS) gene was also cloned into pGWB80 as a control. PCR and in vitro BP and LR recombination reactions were carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Invitrogen). The specific primers with attB1 and attB2 sequences were as follows: attB1-tAPX3’ (5’- AAAAAGCAGGCTGAGGACAGTCATGGACAGTG-3’), attB2-tAPX3’ (5’- AGAAAGCTGGGTTCACCACGTAATTATGTATGTAGGT-3’), attB1-GUS (5’- AAAAAGCAGGCTATGTTACGTCCTGTAGAAAC-3’), and attB2-GUS (5’- AGAAAGCTGGGTTCATTGTTTGCCTCCCTGCT-3’). DNA sequencing was performed using the dideoxy chain terminator method with an automatic DNA sequencer (ABI PRISMTM 310, Applied Biosystems, http://www.appliedbiosystems.com/). The plasmids obtained, pGWB80/tAPX and pGWB80/GUS (A), were digested with a restriction enzyme Xba I, and then blunted by a Mung Bean Nuclease (Takara). The estrogen-inducible expression vector, pMDC7 (B), was also digested with restriction enzymes, Xba I and Spe I, and blunted. The regions of an RNAi construct having an inverted repeat of tAPX and GUS were ligated to the blunted

Maruta et al., Supplemental Fig. S2. Association between expression of tAPX and dsRNA in the IS-tAPX-19 plants during treatment with estrogen. (A) IS-GUS-2, IS-tAPX-2, and IS-tAPX-19 plants (T2 generation) were grown under normal light for 17 days. The transcript levels of tAPX and XVE were determined by sem-quantitative RT-PCR. (B) Seventeen-day-old IS-GUS-2, IS-tAPX-2, and IS-tAPX-19 plants were sprayed with a 100 µM estrogen. At 24 h after the estrogen treatment, the expression of tAPX and RNAi-triggers was determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The expression of RNAi-triggers was indicated using a primer set for the intron region of RNAi-triggers (Supplemental Fig. S1C). Primer sequences were as follows; intron-F (5’-GGTGAGATCTTACTTCTCCT-3’), intron-R (5’-CGAAACTATTTCGCCGAATC-3’). (C) Seventeen-day-old IS-tAPX-19 plants were sprayed with a 100 µM estrogen. A time-course analysis of the expression of tAPX and RNAi-triggers was performed.

Maruta et al., Supplemental Fig. S3. The transcript levels of RTS genes in the estrogen-treated IS-tAPX-19-23 or the KO-tAPX plants. (A) Seventeen-day-old IS-GUS-2-17 and IS-tAPX-19-23 plants were sprayed with a 100 µM estrogen, and kept under normal light. At 48 h after the estrogen treatment, the transcript levels of RTS genes (AtbZIP65, ACS7, UP, F-box, hydrolase, PDIL1-1, and ANAC074) were measured by q-PCR. Error bars indicate SD (n = 3). Significant differences: *P < 0.05 vs. the value for IS-GUS-2-17 plants. (B) The transcript levels of RTS genes in 17-day-old wild-type and KO-tAPX plants were measured by q-PCR. Error bars indicate SD (n = 3). Significant differences: *P < 0.05 vs. the value for wild-type plants.

Seventeen-day-old IS-GUS-2-17 and IS-tAPX-19-23 plants were sprayed with a 100 µM estrogen, and kept under normal light. At 48 h after the estrogen treatment, the transcript levels of “general oxidative stress response markers” were measured by q-PCR. Error bars indicate SD (n = 3).

Maruta et al., Supplemental Fig. S5. Effect of lack of tAPX on cold acclimation under LL. Seventeen-day-old IS-GUS-2-17 and IS-tAPX-19-23 plants were sprayed with a 100 µM estrogen solution or water (mock), and transferred to cold stress conditions (10 µmol photons m -2 s-1, 4°C) for 2 weeks. The treatment with estrogen was performed every 3 days in order to maintain the tAPX silencing. At 14 days after cold stress, the IS-GUS-2-17 and IS-tAPX-19-23 plants were photographed. The same results were obtained in three independent experiments.
