Stamen Development in Tomato - Jasmonates Control Ethylene Action in Timing of Pollen Maturation, Anther Dehiscence and Pollen Release

ABSTRACT: Jasmonates are well known signaling components required for diverse processes ranging from wound and pathogen responses to regulation of developmental processes. A prominent feature of jasmonate biosynthesis or signaling mutants is the loss of fertility. In contrast to the male sterile phenotype of Arabidopsis mutants, the loss of the co-receptor protein COI1 in the tomato mutant jai1-1 results in female sterility with additional severe effects on stamen and pollen development. While a general model of jasmonate effects on male gametophyte development has been proposed to involve the regulation of water transport, the molecular details of this response are scarce. Here we show an extensive temporal profiling of the development, hormone content, transcriptome and metabolome of tomato stamen in six distinct stages of flower development in wild type and jai1-1. We found that the premature stamen desiccation of jai1-1 stamens and the preponed pollen maturation coincide with an accumulation of desiccation-related metabolites. The wild type shows a transient increase of jasmonates up to mid-flowering that is absent in jai1-1. This finding coincides with an early increase of the ethylene precursor ACC in jai1-1 that is similarly reflected in the increased expression of ethylene biosynthesis and response genes. Our data suggests an essential role of jasmonates in the temporal inhibition of ethylene production to prevent premature desiccation of stamens and to ensure proper timing in flower development.

Project description:In Arabidopsis, jasmonate is required for stamen and pollen maturation. Mutants deficient in jasmonate synthesis, such as opr3, are male-sterile but become fertile when jasmonate is applied to developing flower buds. We have used ATH1 oligonucleotide arrays to follow gene expression in opr3 stamens for 22 hours following jasmonate treatment. In these experiments, a total of 821 genes were specifically induced by jasmonate and 480 repressed. Comparisons with data from previous studies indicate that these genes constitute a stamen-specific jasmonate transcriptome, with a large proportion (70%) of the genes expressed in the sporophytic tissue but not in the pollen. Bioinformatics tools allowed us to associate many of the induced genes with metabolic pathways that are likely up-regulated during jasmonate-induced maturation. Our pathway analysis led to the identification of specific genes within larger families of homologues that apparently encode stamen-specific isozymes. Extensive additional analysis of our dataset identified 13 transcription factors that may be key regulators of the stamen maturation processes triggered by jasmonate. Two of these transcription factors, MYB21 and MYB24, are the only members of subgroup 19 of the R2R3 family of MYB proteins. A myb21 mutant obtained by reverse genetics exhibited shorter anther filaments, delayed anther dehiscence and greatly reduced male fertility. A myb24 mutant was phenotypically wild type, but production of a myb21Â myb24 double mutant indicated that introduction of the myb24 mutation exacerbated all three aspects of the myb21 phenotype. Exogenous jasmonate could not restore fertility to myb21 or myb21Â myb24 mutant plants. Together with the data from transcriptional profiling, these results indicate that MYB21 and MYB24 are induced by jasmonate and mediate important aspects of the jasmonate response during stamen development. Experiment Overall Design: Three replicates for opr3 at each time point of 0 hour, 30 minutes, 2 hours, 8 hours and 22 hourss of either JA or OPDA treatment. One replicate of wild-type stamens. <br><br>Note that data files GSM106833.txt and GSM106907.txt as downloaded from GEO are identical.
