Genome-wide identification of mis-spliced/intron-retained transcripts in Arabidopsis thaliana rcf1-1 mutant plants under normal growth conditions as determined by tiling array analysis.

ABSTRACT: Cold stress is one of the most severe environmental conditions which cause huge losses in crop production worldwide. We identified a DEAD box RNA helicase, RCF1 (Regulator of CBF gene expression 1) that controls pre-mRNA splicing of cold-stress-responsive genes including positive and negative regulators of CBF genes. We used whole genome tiling array analysis under normal growth conditions to identify transcripts which are mis-spliced/intron-retained in rcf1-1. Fourteen-day-old wild type and rcf1-1 seedlings grown on MS agar medium (1x MS salts, 2% sucrose, 0.6% agar, pH 5.7) under normal conditions were harvested for total RNA isolation. RNA was extracted with Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) and synthesized into double-stranded DNA that was hybridized to whole genome tiling arrays (Affymetrix Arabidopsis Tiling1.0R). All hybridizations were performed with 3 biological replicates.

Cold stress resulting from chilling and freezing temperatures substantially reduces crop production worldwide. To identify genes critical for cold tolerance in plants, we screened Arabidopsis thaliana mutants for deregulated expression of a firefly luciferase reporter gene under the control of the C-REPEAT BINDING FACTOR2 (CBF2) promoter (CBF2:LUC). A regulator of CBF gene expression1 (rcf1-1) mutant that is hypersensitive to cold stress was chosen for in-depth characterization. RCF1 encodes a c ...[more]

Project description:F1 hybrids can outperform their parents in yield and vegetative biomass, features of hybrid vigor which form the basis of the hybrid seed industry. The yield advantage of the F1 is lost in the F2 and subsequent generations. In Arabidopsis, from F2 plants which have a F1 âlike phenotype, we have by recurrent selection produced pure breeding F5/F6 lines âHybrid Mimicsâ, in which the characteristics of the F1 Hybrid are stabilized. These Hybrid Mimic lines, like the F1 Hybrid, have larger leaves than the parent plant, the leaves having increased photosynthetic cell numbers, and in some lines increased size of cells, suggesting an increased supply of photosynthate. A comparison of the differentially expressed genes in the F1 Hybrid with those of eight Hybrid Mimic lines has identified metabolic pathways altered in both; these pathways include down regulation of defense response pathways and altered abiotic response pathways. F6 Hybrid Mimic lines are mostly homozygous at each locus in the genome yet retain the large F1-like phenotype. Many alleles in the F6 plants, when they are homozygous, have expression levels different to the level in the parent. We consider this altered expression to be a consequence of trans-regulation of genes from one parent by genes from the other parent. Transregulation could also arise from epigenetic modifications in the F1. The pure breeding Hybrid Mimics have been valuable in probing the mechanisms of hybrid vigor and may also prove to be useful hybrid vigor equivalents in agriculture. Plant Materials: Seeds were sterilized and sown onto plates containing MSN medium (MS salts supplemented with 1% (w/v) sucrose, pH7 with KOH, 0.6% wt/vol Noble agar). After 2 days at 4Â°C, the plates were transferred to a growth room with conditions of 22 Â°C/18 Â°C (day/night) and 16h light/8h dark cycle under Philips Cool Daylight TLD 58W/840 fluorescent tubes providing a photosynthetic photon flux density of 130 - 150Î¼mol photons m-2Â·s-1 as measured using a quantum meter (Model MQ-200 calibrated for electric light source, Apogee). At 18 days after sowing (DAS), the plants were transferred to soil and grown to the reproductive stage in a growth room with controlled light conditions (OSRAM L 36W/865 LumLux Daylight, 130 - 150Î¼mol photons m-2Â·s-1). To minimize the edge effects, the positioning of both plates and trays on the shelves was rotated every two days. All the plants were grown under the condition described above unless specified. Plant sample preparation and RNA extraction: For the transcriptomes of 15 DAS plants, the aerial tissues of 15 day seedlings were sampled. For the transcriptomes of plants at 28 DAS, the four largest leaves of 28 day plants from the parental lines (C24, Ler), the reciprocal Hybrids and eight F4 Hybrid Mimic lines were harvested. Each sample comprised a pool of five plants. Two biological replicates of each sample were sequenced. Total RNA was isolated using QIAGEN RNeasy MiniKitTM following the product instructions. To eliminate variation in experimental conditions in different positions in the growth room, nine F4 plant lines were divided into two batches to ensure plants were grown on the same shelves in each experiment. Parental lines C24 and Ler and the F1 Hybrid from which the F4 lines derived from were grown under the same conditions in each experiment as controls. The first batch including samples C24 (RepA and RepB), Ler (RepA and RepB), C24 x Ler F1, F4-L1-1, F4-L1-2, F4-L2-1, F4-L2-2 and F4-S-1 were grown under the condition describe above, we also sampled the five smallest C24 seedlings and five smallest Ler seedlings among the population (n = 50); the mRNA sequencing was performed by the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF). The second batch including C24 (RepC and RepD), Ler (RepC and RepD), Ler x C24 F1 Hybrid, F4-L3-1, F4-L3-2, F4-L4-1 and F4-L4-2 were grown in the same light intensity as above but under different light tubes (SYLVANIA PREMIUM extra FL36W/865 Super Daylight deluxe light tube). For the transcriptome of the two F6 Hybrid Mimic lines at 15 DAS, C24, Ler, Ler x C24 F1 Hybrids and three siblings from each F6 line (L3-1-1-2 and L4-2-1-2) were grown on MS medium (MS salts supplemented with 1% (w/v) sucrose, pH 5.7 with KOH, add 0.6% wt/vol agar) with controlled light conditions (SYLVANIA PREMIUM extra FL36W/865 Super Daylight deluxe, 130 - 150Î¼mol photons m-2Â·s-1). The mRNA sequencing service was provided by AGRF on the Illumina platform, 100bp paired ends.
