Ovate family proteins (OFPs) are valued as a family of transcription factors that are unique to plants, and they play a pluripotent regulatory role in plant growth and development, including secondary-cell-wall synthesis, DNA repair, gibberellin synthesis, and other biological processes, via their interaction with TALE family proteins. In this study, CHIP-SEQ was used to detect the potential target genes of AtOFP1 and its signal-regulation pathways. On the other hand, Y2H and BIFC were employed to prove that AtOFP1 can participate in ABA signal transduction by interacting with one of the TALE family protein called AtKNAT3. ABA response genes are not only significantly upregulated in the 35S::HAOFP1 OE line, but they also show hypersensitivity to ABA in terms of seed germination and early seedling root elongation. In addition, the AtOFP1-regulated target genes are mainly mitochondrial membranes that are involved in the oxidative-phosphorylation pathway. Further qRT-PCR results showed that the inefficient splicing of the respiratory complex I subunit genes NAD4 and NAD7 may lead to ROS accumulation in 35S::HA-AtOFP1 OE lines. In conclusion, we speculated that the overexpression of AtOFP1 may cause the ABA hypersensitivity response by increasing the intracellular ROS content generated from damage to the intima systems of mitochondria.
