Transcriptome profiling data for secondary vascular tissue regeneration in Populus tomentosa

ABSTRACT: Regeneration is a common strategy for plants to repair their damaged body plans after attack from other organisms or physical assaults. Trees with bark girdling on a large scale will grow new bark within one month and this bark regeneration after girdling system has been proven to be an efficient method to study secondary vascular development as well as plant tissue regeneration in vivo. We herein show the molecular features of differentiating xylem cell fate switch process during secondary vascular tissue (SVT) regeneration in Populus. Based on our data, we propose a working model to illustrate the molecular dynamics underlying xylem cell fate switch process during SVT regeneration, which is significant to understand the pattern formation during the SVTs regeneration and also would shed light on the mechanisms of tissue regeneration in plants. Specific regenerated tissues of Populus at different stages were isolated by tangential cryo-sectioning. Total RNA from cryo-sections representing different regenerating tissues was extracted for Affymetrix Poplar Whole Genome Array hybridization. Five samples (two replicates for each sample) were used for gene expression analysis: differentiating xylem (diX, Stage 0), dedifferentiating xylem cells (deX, Stage I), regenerated phloem (rPh, Stage II), differentiating regenerated cambium (diC, Stage II) and regenerated cambium (rC, Stage III). In addition, one pooled genomic DNA sample from cryo-sections of differentiating xylem from two trees was isolated for DNA hybridization to produce a new CDF file that was used to mask out some potentially cross-hybridizing probesets from the standard Affymetrix Poplar Genome Array.

Regeneration is a common strategy for plants to repair damage to their tissue after attacks from other organisms or physical assaults. However, how differentiating cells acquire regenerative competence and rebuild the pattern of new tissues remains largely unknown. Using anatomical observation and microarray analysis, we investigated the morphological process and molecular features of secondary vascular tissue regeneration after bark girdling in trees. After bark girdling, new phloem and cambium ...[more]

Project description:Vascular cambium is a secondary meristem which produces xylem (wood) inwards and phloem (bark) outwards. The activity of cambium leads to expansion in the diameters in plants, that is, secondary growth, and thus contributes to biomass increase. The regulation of cambium development is at multilevel including phytohormones and peptide-receptor kinase (CLE41/44-PXY) signalling pathways. However, only limited progress has been made on the transcriptional regulation level. To construct the transcriptional network that regulates cambium development, we performed a genome wide transcript profiling in sorted procambial and cambial cells in Arabidopsis roots. More than 500 genes were identified as cambium abundant genes via comparison against transcriptomes of other Arabidopsis root cell types. We then investigated the roles of almost all the cambial transcription factors (TFs) and some of their homologous genes during secondary growth. Many of the candidate TFs were highly expressed in cambium based on the promoter GUS fusion and in situ hybridization. An unbiased transcriptional regulatory network was constructed using transcript profiling data collected from inducible overexpression lines for selected candidate TFs and a few major nodes were identified in the network including WOX4 and KNAT1. Moreover, the severity of mutant phenotypes was predicted based on the network. Next, we used the predication as a guide and generated over 70 double mutants within the same or among different TF families to explore the genetic interactions of candidate genes. Phenotype characterization on the secondary growth of the mutants and the overexpression lines identified promoters and inhibitors of cambium activity. The phenotypic data also suggested the redundancy within and among TF families because the phenotypes could be enhanced when additional TFs were mutated. We also found that combinations of certain overexpression lines and mutants led to pronounced increase of cell proliferation or xylem differentiation and in the extreme case the formation of ectopic cambium. We herein propose that cambium development is orchestrated by a wide network at the transcriptional level, where each TF has a different contribution to cell proliferation and differentiation.
