Transcription profiling of parthenocarpic tomato fruit


ABSTRACT: To evaluate the role of seeds in fruit quality, we induced parthenocarpy in tomato by regulating ovule-specific auxin synthesis or responsiveness using the INO promoter from A. thaliana, which is expressed in the outer layer of the integuments during early stages of ovule development. We compared these to fruit where the same coding regions were expressed from the DeFH9 promoter which is expressed in carpel tissues during early stages of ovule development. Expression of auxin synthesis or responsiveness genes by both of these promoters produced seedless parthenocarpic tomato fruit. We compared fruit samples using the Affymetrix tomato GeneChip (GPL4741) to determine how gene regulation and expression differed between wild-type and transgenic fruit. Experiment Overall Design: Wild-type fruit with seeds was compared with transgenic lines INO-IaaM, DefH9-IaaM, INO-RolB, and DefH9-RolB. To find genes with seed-specific expression, we also compared the control with wild-type fruit from which seeds had been manually removed. We had three biological replicates for each treatment and control except DefH9-RolB, for which only two replicates were available. Each CEL file from the microarray represents one plant from each line.

Parthenocarpy is potentially a desirable trait for many commercially grown fruits if undesirable changes to structure, flavour, or nutrition can be avoided. Parthenocarpic transgenic tomato plants (cv MicroTom) were obtained by the regulation of genes for auxin synthesis (iaaM) or responsiveness (rolB) driven by DefH9 or the INNER NO OUTER (INO) promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana. Fruits at a breaker stage were analysed at a transcriptomic and metabolomic level using microarrays, real-time rever  ...[more]
