Sucrose induces the expression of miR398 and the production of miR398 is controlled by SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein-like7 (SPL7) transcription factor under copper deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana. Little else, however, is known about the sucrose-regulated copper homeostasis in Arabidopsis. Here, we employed the microarray technology to screen for sucrose-responsive microRNAs (miRNAs), and identified several candidates using northern blotting. In addition to miR398, miR408, miR319, and miR160 are also responsive to sucrose. Furthermore, the induction of miR398 and miR408 by sucrose depends on the presence of SPL7. MiR398 and miR408 induction by high sucrose was eliminated by high copper. Meanwhile, high sucrose treatment strongly suppressed copper accumulation. Knock-down of SPL7 dramatically reduced copper accumulation in plants under low sucrose, but this effect was compromised in the presence of high levels of sucrose. Taken together, these results suggest a connection between sucrose signaling and copper accumulation in cells, and that sucrose-regulated copper accumulation is both SPL7-dependent and SPL7-independent in Arabidopsis.
