To understand the relationship between vernalization and endogenous phytohormones on bolting, phytohormone levels and transcriptome changes were measured by LC-MS/MS and RNA sequencing before vernalization (CK), at the end of 16 weeks of vernalization (Vel) and at 5 days after vernalization (Re). A total of 32 phytohormone compounds significantly changed after vernalization: especially, the content of abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA) was dramatically decreased more than sixteen and three times in the Vel and Re samples. In addition, GA19 accumulated after vernalization, while the content of GA53 and GA20 decreased. A total of 7471 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in response to vernalization. These DEGs were enriched with GO terms including response to stimulus (GO:0050896), response to hormone (GO:0009725) and shoot system development (GO:0048367). KEGG mapping indicated that 16, 13 and 11 DEGs were involved in gibberellic acid (GA), ABA and JA biosynthesis, suggesting a negative role of vernalization in phytohormone biosynthesis. Vernalization also repressed the expression of BvABFs and BvMYC2s, implying the inhibition of ABA and JA signalling. Additionally, vernalization plays a positive role in GA signalling, owing to the down-regulation of BvDELLAs. We also found that GA3-induced bolting could be retarded by exogenous ABA and methyl jasmonate (MeJA). In total, our results suggest that vernalization can promote GA-induced bolting by decreasing BvDELLA repressors of GA signalling and eliminating the antagonistic effects of ABA and JA.
