Project description:Arabidopsis seeds expressing the castor fatty acid hydroxylase accumulate hydroxylated fatty acids up to 17% of total fatty acids in seed triacylglycerols, however total seed oil is also reduced up to 50%. Investigations into the cause of the reduced oil phenotype through in vivo [14C]acteate and [3H]2O metabolic labeling of developing seeds surprisingly revealed that the rate of de novo fatty acid synthesis within the transgenic seeds was approximately half that of control seeds. Addition of castor phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) increased hydroxylated fatty acid content of the seed oil, increased the rate of fatty acid synthesis, and mostly restored seed oil levels. RNAseq analysis indicated no changes in expression of fatty acid synthesis genes in hydroxylase-expressing plants. Transcript profiles of Arabidopsis developing seeds of three lines, at three stages of development were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina.

Project description:We investigated RNA involved in the maternal control of progeny seed dormancy. Basically, we grew Ler wild type plants at 22 and 16 degree Celsius before fertilization which were moved to 22 degree for seed maturation along with ft-1 plants at 22 degree through lifetime (which show decreased seed germinability). Various RNA fractions were prepared from developing siluqes (seeds removed) and seeds, and sequenced to identify genes involved in transducing maternal memory of temperature to progeny seeds.

Project description:Imprinted gene expression occurs during seed development in plants and is associated with differential DNA methylation of parental alleles, particularly at proximal transposable elements (TEs). Imprinting variability could contribute to observed parent-of-origin effects on seed development. We investigated intraspecific variation in imprinting, coupled with analysis of DNA methylation and small RNAs, among three Arabidopsis strains with diverse seed phenotypes. The majority of imprinted genes were parentally biased in the same manner among all strains. However, we identified several examples of allele-specific imprinting correlated with intraspecific epigenetic variation at a TE. We successfully predicted imprinting in additional strains based on methylation variability. We conclude that there is standing variation in imprinting even in recently diverged genotypes due to intraspecific epiallelic variation. These data demonstrate that epiallelic variation and genomic imprinting intersect to produce novel gene expression patterns in seeds. Sequencing of 12 small RNA samples from whole seeds 6 days after pollination.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of plant development and seed formation. In Brassica napus, an important edible oil crop, valuable lipids are synthesized and stored in specific seed tissues during embryogenesis. The miRNA transcriptome of B. napus is currently poorly characterized, especially at different seed developmental stages. This work aims to describe the miRNAome of developing seeds of B. napus by identifying plant-conserved and novel miRNAs and comparing miRNA abundance in mature versus developing seeds. A total of 62 miRNA families were detected through a computational analysis of a large number of reads obtained from deep sequencing two small RNA and two RNA-seq libraries of (i) pooled immature developing stages and (ii) mature B. napus seeds. Among these miRNA families, 17 families are currently known to exist in B. napus; additionally, 32 families not reported in B. napus but conserved in other plant species were identified by alignment with known plant mature miRNAs. The contigs from the assembled mRNA-seq data allowed for a search for putative new precursors and led to the identification of 13 novel miRNA families. Differential expression between the libraries was determined through a statistical analysis of normalized miRNA reads and revealed several miRNAs and isomiRNAs that were more abundant during the developing stages. The predicted miRNA target genes encode a broad range of proteins related to seed development and energy storage. This work presents a comprehensive study of the miRNA transcriptome of B. napus seeds and will provide a basis for future research on more targeted studies of individual miRNAs and their functions in embryogenesis, seed maturation and lipid accumulation in B. napus. RNA profiles in 2 different seed libraries (mature seeds and a pool of developing seed stages) of Brassica napus by deep sequencing (Illumina HiSeq2000).

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana seeds that maternally inherit a medea (mea) mutant allele abort before completing embryogenesis. However, mea seeds can be rescued by pollen from several natural ecotypes of A. thaliana, including the Cape Verdian accession Cvi-0. We developed a method for the mapping of parent-of-origin effects using whole-genome sequencing of segregant bulks. The strategy is to create an F2 population that contains one set of chromosomes from the maternal parent (mea, in a Ler background) but inherits two segregating sets (Ler and Cvi-0) from the other parent. The two paternally segregating sets have opposite effects in mea penetrance: Ler fathers allow full mea seed abortion, while Cvi fathers rescue 90% of medea seeds. Therefore, the two segregating paternal sets are not equally transmitted to the next generation. DNA extracted from pools of viable F2 seedlings was sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform, mapped to the reference TAIR10 A. thaliana genome and the ratio between Ler and Cvi-0 SNPs used to identify chromosomal regions enriched in Cvi-0 sequences. As a control, DNA pools extracted from crosses between a wild-type Ler mother and a hybrid Cvi-0:Ler father were also sequenced. Three biological replicates were made for each pool. Ler-1 x Ler-1:Cvi-0 hybrid viable seedlings pools (each is a biological replicate): WT_pool_1, WT_pool_2, WT_pool_3 mea-1/mea-1; MEA-GR x Ler-1:Cvi-0 hybrid viable seedlings pool (each is a biological replicate): mea_pool_1, mea_pool_2, mea_pool_3

Project description:Crossing plants of the same species but different ploidies can have dramatic effects on seed growth, but little is known about the alterations to transcriptional programmes responsible for this. Parental genomic imbalance particularly affects proliferation of the endosperm, with an increased ratio of paternally to maternally contributed genomes (‘paternal excess’) associated with overproliferation, while maternal excess inhibits endosperm growth. One interpretation is that interploidy crosses disrupt the balance in the seed of active copies of parentally imprinted genes. This is supported by the observation that mutations in imprinted FIS-class genes of Arabidopsis thaliana share many features of the paternal excess phenotype. Here we investigated gene expression underlying parent-of-origin effects in Arabidopsis through transcriptional profiling of siliques generated by interploidy crosses and FIS-class mutants. Two biological replicate samples each of 2xX2x, 2xX4x, 2xX6x, 6xX2x, 4xX2x and fis1X2x and a single sample of msi1. Each sample was hybridised to a separate array.

Dyes were then swapped and the hybridisations repeated using an additional 5 arrays.

Project description:The aim of the project is to determine the expression profile of Arabidopsis DEFL during sexual reproduction, in particular seed development. To this aim, we generated a customised Affymetrics array that was hybridized with labeled cDNA synthetised from total RNA. Plant were grown in a control environment chamber and were pollinated manually to precisely generate different stages of seed development. Samples were collected in tripicates.

Project description:During seed maturation, the embryo accumulates nutrition storage compounds such as oil and reserve proteins, and acquires dormancy and desiccation tolerance. Arabidopsis transcription factors LEC1, LEC2, FUS3 and ABI3 are known as the master regulators of seed maturation because all these events during the seed maturation are severely affected by the respective mutants. In addition, the lec1, lec2 and fus3 mutants exhibit some heterochronic characteristics, as exemplified by the development of true leaf-like cotyledons during embryogenesis. To characterize these mutants at the whole genome expression level, microarray experiments were performed. Developing seeds were dissected from the siliques of the abi3-6 homozygous plants or the respective wild type plants (Col-0) at 12 and 16 days after flowering. Seeds samples were obtained from triplicate batches of plants and used for RNA preparation.
