Transcript levels in CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1-overexpressing (CCA1-ox) Arabidopsis thaliana over a 24-hour diurnal cycle

ABSTRACT: Circadian control of gene expression has been established in plants at the transcriptional level, but relatively little is known about circadian control of translation. We used polysome profiling to characterize regulation of transcription and translation over a 24-hour diurnal cycle in Arabidopsis, both in wild type and in plants with a disrupted clock due to constitutive overexpression of the CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 gene (CCA1-ox, AGI AT2G46830). 10 day-old wild type and CCA1-ox (described in Cell. 1998 Jun 26;93(7):1207-17) Arabidopsis seedlings were harvested at 6am (Zeitgeber time ZT0), 12pm (ZT6), 6pm (ZT12), and 12am (ZT18), with 3 replicates for each time and genotype.

Project description:Hybrid plants and animals grow larger and more vigorously than the parents, a common phenomenon known as hybrid vigor or heterosis. Heterosis often correlates with the genetic distance between hybridizing parents, but the mechanism for this is largely unknown. We found that genetic distance was correlated with natural variation of stress responses under the control of the circadian clock. CIRCADIAN-CLOCK-ASSOCIATED1 (CCA1) and LATE-ELONGATED-HYPOCOTYL (LHY) or CCA1 alone mediate expression amplitudes and periods of these stress-responsive genes in stress and non-stress conditions. In Arabidopsis thaliana intraspecific hybrids, genome-wide expression of many biotic and abiotic stress-responsive genes was diurnally repressed to promote biomass heterosis, which is associated with several biomass quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Expression differences in four selected stress-responsive genes among ten ecotypes could be used to predict heterosis in their hybrids. Parent plants with larger expression differences between stress-responsive genes produced higher-vigor hybrids, while those with smaller differences produced lower-vigor hybrids. Stress-responsive genes were epigenetically repressed in the hybrids under normal conditions but induced during times of stress at certain times of the day, balancing the tradeoff between stress responses and growth. Consistently, repressing the stress genes in diploids increased growth vigor. We demonstrate how hybrids manipulate diurnal stress-responsive gene expression to enhance growth vigor. Both circadian and epigenetic regulation play key roles in the altered expression of stress-responsive genes in hybrids. Our findings provide a conceptual advance and mechanistic understanding of heterosis, as well as selection criteria for parents to be effectively used for producing high-yield hybrids.
