Project description:A gene expression analysis of the changes in in popolulus tremula during the autumn sensencece. Leaves were analyzed from late summer and late into autumn. Cytokinins are plant hormones that typically block or delay leaf senescence. We profiled 34 different cytokinins/cytokinin metabolites (including precursors, conjugates and degradation products) in leaves of a free-growing mature aspen (Populus tremula) before and after the initiation of autumnal senescence over three consecutive years. The levels and profiles of individual cytokinin species, or classes/groups, varied greatly between years, despite the fact that the onset of autumn senescence was at the same time each year, and senescence was not associated with depletion of either active or total cytokinin levels. Levels of aromatic cytokinins (topolins) were low and changed little over the autumn period. Diurnal variations and weather-dependent variations in cytokinin content were relatively limited. We also followed the expression patterns of all aspen genes implicated as having roles in cytokinin metabolism or signaling, but neither the pattern of regulation of any group of genes nor the expression of any particular gene supported the notion that decreased cytokinin signaling could explain the onset of senescence. Based on the results from this tree, we therefore suggest that cytokinin depletion is unlikely to explain the onset of autumn leaf senescence in aspen.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that a considerable proportion of the Arabidopsis genome cycles under circadian and/or diurnal conditions (Edwards et al., 2006 PMID: 16473970, Blaesing et al., 2005 PMID 16299223). It is likely that the correct phasing of gene expression plays an important role in improving the growth of the model plant (Dodd et al., 2005 PMID: 16040710). A key question is whether similar regulation is occurring in other higher plant species. In this study we measure the diurnal expression pattern of genes in the T89 clone of the hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. x P. tremuloides Michx.) using the Affymetrix Poplar array. Samples (leaf blades) were taken at 4h intervals over the course of 2 diurnal cycles (18h Light: 6h Dark). Time-points were labelled relative to dawn (time 0) on the first day of sampling. T89 was selected as it has routinely been used for genetic modification since 1992 (Nilsson et al.) and is the genetic background for a large number of transgenic trees created in order to investigate the function of aspen genes, providing potential for genetic manipulations during our further studies. We also measured the diurnal expression pattern of genes in trees with a compromised circadian clock. Trees with less expressed LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 1 (LHY1) and LHY2 by RNA interference (lhy) line that was created in T89 clone of the aspen hybrid (Populus tremula L. x P. tremuloides Michx.) using the Affymetrix Poplar array. Samples (leaf blades) were taken at 4h intervals over the course of 2 diurnal cycles (18h Light: 6h Dark) as described above. Thus, time-points are labelled relative to dawn (time 0) on the first day of sampling. The data obtained from using a RNAi line in central Clock components complements the study of wild type T89, since they were grown and sampled at the same time under the same conditions.

Project description:Plants perceive herbivory induced volatiles and respond to them by upregulating their defenses. So far, the organs responsible for volatile perception remain poorly described. Here, we show that responsiveness to the herbivory induced green leaf volatile (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate (HAC) in terms of volatile emission, transcriptional regulation and jasmonate defense hormone activation is largely constrained to younger maize leaves. Older leaves are much less sensitive to HAC. In a given leaf, responsiveness to HAC is high at immature developmental stages and drops off rapidly during maturation. Responsiveness to the non-volatile elicitor ZmPep3 shows an opposite pattern, demonstrating that this form of hyposmia (i.e. decreased sense of smell) is not due to a general defect in jasmonate defense signaling in mature leaves. Neither stomatal conductance nor leaf cuticle composition explain the unresponsiveness of older leaves to HAC, suggesting perception mechanisms upstream of jasmonate signaling as driving factors. Finally, we show that hyposmia in older leaves is not restricted to HAC, and extends to the full blend of herbivory induced volatiles. In conclusion, our work identifies immature maize leaves as dominant stress volatile sensing organs. The tight spatiotemporal control of volatile perception may facilitate within-plant defense signaling to protect young leaves, and may allow plants with complex architectures to explore the dynamic odor landscapes at the outer periphery of their shoots

Project description:Metacaspases (MCs) are cysteine proteases that are implicated in programmed cell death of plants. AtMC9 (Arabidopsis thaliana Metacaspase9) is a member of the Arabidopsis MC family that controls the rapid autolysis of the xylem vessel elements, but its downstream targets in the xylem remain uncharacterized. PttMC13 and PttMC14 were identified as AtMC9 homologs of hybrid aspen (Populus tremula x tremuloides). A proteomic analysis was conducted in xylem tissues of transgenic hybrid aspen trees which carried either an overexpression or an RNAi construct for PttMC13 and PttMC14. The proteomic analysis revealed modulation of levels of both previously known targets of metacaspases, such as Tudor staphylococcal nuclease, heat shock proteins and 14-3-3 proteins as well as novel targets, such as homologs of the PUTATIVE ASPARTIC PROTEASE 3 (PASPA3) (PASPA) and the cysteine protease RD21 by PttMC13 and PttMC14. We identified here the pathways and processes that are modulated by PttMC13 and PttMC14 in xylem tissues. In particular, the results indicate involvement of PttMC13 and/or PttMC14 in controlling not only xylem cell autolysis but also cell death. This work provides a valuable reference dataset on xylem specific metacaspase functions for future functional and biochemical analyses.

Project description:⢠Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), in addition to attracting natural enemies of herbivores, can serve a signaling function within plants by acting as wound signals that induce or prime defenses. However, particularly in woody plants, which compounds within HIPV blends are capable of acting as signaling molecules are largely unknown. ⢠Leaves of hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides x nigra) saplings were exposed in vivo to naturally wound-emitted concentrations of the green leaf volatile (GLV) cis-3-hexenyl acetate (z3HAC) and then subsequently fed upon by gypsy moth larvae (Lymantria dispar L.). Volatiles were collected throughout the experiments, and leaf tissue was collected to measure phytohormone levels and expression of defense-related genes. ⢠Relative to controls, z3HAC-exposed leaves had higher levels of jasmonic acid and ï¡-linolenic acid following gypsy moth feeding. Further, z3HAC primed transcripts of phytohormone signaling (lipoxygenase 1) and direct defense (a Kunitz proteinase inhibitor) genes. These qRT-PCR results were supported by microarray analysis using the AspenDB 7K EST microarray containing ~5400 unique gene models. Moreover, z3HAC also primed the release of herbivore-induced terpene volatiles. ⢠The widespread priming response suggests an adaptive benefit to detecting z3HAC as a wound signal. Thus, woody plants can detect and use z3HAC as a signaling cue to prime defenses before actually experiencing damage. GLVs may therefore have important ecological functions in arboreal ecosystems. Plants and Gypsy Moths Hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides x nigra, clone âOGYâ: Magnoliopsida; Malpighiales; Salicaceae; Aigeiros section of Populus) saplings were grown from cuttings in a walk-in growth chamber maintained at 25oC with a 16:8 photoperiod. Cuttings were planted in five-gallon pots in commercial potting soil (MetroMix 250, SunGro, Bellevue, WA, USA) and watered as necessary. Due to supplements in the soil, fertilization was not required and poplars grew to heights of ~1.5 m in 12-15 weeks. Newly molted 4th instar L. dispar larvae were used for all experiments. Egg masses were obtained from APHIS (Otis Plant Protection Lab, Cape Cod, MA, USA) and reared through 3rd instar on artificial diet. Newly molted 4th instar larvae cleared their gut contents prior to molting. Experimental Manipulations All experiments were conducted from March-April 2007 in a single walk-in growth chamber maintained as described above. Poplars were equilibrated to the chamber for 24 hours prior to manipulations. Two fully-expanded source leaves (leaf plastochron index LPI 8 and 9) were isolated per sapling using individual 15x15x1 cm Teflon/glass chambers (for photo see Appendix in Frost et al., 2007). These two leaves are non-orthostichous, which means that they do not readily share assimilates or wound signals (Davis et al., 1991). Thus, for the purposes of these experiments, treatment leaves did not interact with their respective control leaves. However, the leaves are of slightly different ages and, to control for this potential effect, we randomized which leaf would receive the z3HAC treatment. Flow into each chamber was set at 2.0 L/min, which was sufficient to avoid condensation within the chamber. The experiments were designed to have two consecutive albeit separate treatments: exposure to z3HAC and subsequent application of L. dispar larvae. We used commercially available z3HAC (Sigma-Aldrich), and prepared concentrations to infuse into each septum such that it delivered ~40 ng z3HAC per application. After a pretreatment volatile collection (Day 1 and night starting Day 2), z3HAC-infused rubber septa were placed into the leaf chambers with each treatment leaf (morning of Day 2). Control leaves each received a septum infused with just the dichloromethane solvent. Septa were replaced twice, once before the afternoon collection on Day 2, and before the morning collection on Day 3. All septa were removed during the night of Day 3, since most volatile production stops at night in this hybrid (Fig 5a). On the morning of Day 4, two newly molted 3rd or 4th instar gypsy moth larvae were added to each leaf, regardless of whether the leaf received the treatment or control septa on Days 2 and 3. The herbivores remained on the leaves for ~24 hours. On the day of collection, each leaf was excised at the petiole, photographed, and then placed in a labeled coin envelope and submerged directly into liquid N2. Each photograph also contained a standard of known area, from which leaf area and % damage calculations were determined (Sigma Scan 500, Systat Software Inc.). Larvae consumed similar amounts on the treatment and control leaves (24 hours: z3HAC-treated leaves: 4.7 ± 1.8 cm2; controls: 4.3 ± 1.7 cm2). The snap-frozen leaves were stored at -80oC until grinding. Each leaf was ground in an individual mortar and pestle under liquid N2. Ground tissue was weighed into vials for RNA extraction and JA analysis (see below). Care was taken to not allow the ground tissue to thaw at any point prior to extraction. This method therefore allowed us to measure gene expression and JA from the same tissue. Microarray Analysis To explore a transcriptome-level response of poplar leaves to z3HAC and herbivory, we conducted microarray analysis of the samples collected after 24 hours of herbivore damage. This allowed a comparison of transcriptome-level responses to herbivory in z3HAC-treated versus untreated leaves (i.e., the set of genes that were primed by z3HAC exposure). Total RNA was labeled using Ambion's Amino Allyl Message Amp II aRNA Amplification Kit (#AM1753) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 1 ug of each sample was reversed transcribed using T7-oligo(dT) priming and subsequently second strand cDNA synthesis was performed. The resulting double stranded cDNA was purified and then used as a template for in vitro transcription during which amino allyl-modified UTP was incorporated. The resulting amino allyl-modified cRNA was purified and coupled with Cy3 or Cy5 (GE Amersham, #RPN5661) as appropriate. We used dye swapping to account for potential dye effects. Dye coupled cRNA was purified and 4 ug was fragmented and subsequently dissolved in 60ul of hybridization solution. We used an aspen 7K EST array containing replicate subarrays of 6,705 elements in a 4Ã4 grid with a spot diameter of ~150 µm and a spacing of 200 µm (Ranjan et al., 2004). The elements represented ~5,400 unique JGI Populus gene models, and included positive and negative controls (Lucidea Universal ScoreCard, Amersham) to monitor target labeling and hybridization efficiency, as well as many genes of known function. Clone information can be downloaded from the aspenDB website (www.aspenDB.mtu.edu). Arrays were hybridized following previously published methods (Xiang et al., 2002; Hughes et al., 2001).
