Project description:The haploid multicellular male gametophyte of plants, the pollen grain, is a terminally differentiated structure whose function ends at fertilization. Unlike pollen grains, the immature gametophyte retains its capacity for totipotent growth when cultured in vitro. Haploid embryo production from cultured immature male gametophytes is a widely used plant breeding and propagation technique that was described nearly 50 years ago, but one that is poorly understood at the mechanistic level. Using a chemical approach, we show that the switch to haploid embryogenesis is controlled by the activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs). Blocking HDAC activity with trichostatin A (TSA) in cultured immature male gametophytes of Brassica napus leads to a large increase in the proportion of cells that switch from pollen to embryogenic growth. Embryogenic growth is enhanced by, but not dependent on, the high temperature stress that is normally used to induce haploid embryogenesis in B. napus. The immature male gametophyte of Arabidopsis thaliana, which is recalcitrant for haploid embryo development in culture, also forms embryogenic cell clusters after TSA treatment. TSA treatment of immature male gametophytes for as little as eight hours was accompanied by hyperacetylation of histones H3 and H4, and by the upregulation of genes involved in cell-cycle progression, the auxin pathway and cell wall catabolism pathways. We propose that the totipotency of the immature male gametophyte in planta is kept in check by an HDAC-dependent mechanism, and that high temperature or other stresses used to induce haploid embryo development in culture impinge on this HDAC-dependent pathway. 8 samples were analyzed. We generated the following pairwise comparisons between treatment and the corresponding mock treatment: TSA+CHX (2 replicates) vs CHX (2 replicates); TSA (2 replicates) vs DMSO (2 replicates).

Project description:TRI6 is a positive regulator of the trichothecene gene cluster and the production of trichothecene mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol [DON] and acetylated forms such as 15-ADON) in the cereal pathogen F. graminearum. As a global transcriptional regulator, TRI6 expression is modulated by nitrogen-limiting conditions, sources of nitrogen and carbon, pH, and light. However, the mechanism by which these diverse environmental factors affect TRI6 expression remains under-explored. In our effort to understand how nutrients affect TRI6 regulation, comparative digital expression profiling was performed with a wildtype F. graminearum and a Δtri6 mutant strain, grown in nutrient-rich conditions. Analysis showed that TRI6 negatively regulates genes of the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolic pathway. Feeding studies with deletion mutants of MCC, encoding methylcrotonyl-CoA-carboxylase, one of the key enzymes of leucine metabolism, showed that addition of leucine specifically down regulated TRI6 expression and reduced 15-ADON accumulation. Constitutive expression of TRI6 in the Δmcc mutant strain restored 15-ADON production. A combination of cellophane breach assays and pathogenicity experiments on wheat demonstrated that disrupting the leucine metabolic pathway significantly reduced disease. These findings suggest a complex interaction between one of the primary metabolic pathways with a global regulator of mycotoxin biosynthesis and virulence in F. graminearum. Triplicate samples of digital gene expression profiling data for the Tri6 mutant and wildtype strains were compared. **Please note that the raw data files for the current study are no longer available, and therefore are not included in the submission.

Project description:In this study, liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was applied to define the occurrence, diversity and origin of glycosyl-hydrolases along the digestive tract of P. canaliculata. Cellulases, hemicellulases, amylases, maltases, fucosidases and galactosidases were identified across the digestive tract. The digestive gland and the contents of the crop and style sac yield a higher diversity of glycosidase-derived peptides.

Project description:Russeting of apple fruit is a non-invasive physiological disorder. It occurs mainly in 'Golden Delicious' apple and its hybrids, while understanding of its molecular mechanism is still limited. In this study, we used mRNA sequencing and an isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation-based quantitative (iTRAQ) proteomic analysis to detect changes in the expression levels of genes and proteins during russeting formation in russeted and non-russeted skin of 'Golden Delicious' apple. We set up three comparison groups representing the three developmental stages in the russeting formation process. With the formation of fruit russeting, there were 2856 differentially expressed genes and 942 differentially expressed proteins in the comparison groups as detected at the transcript level and protein level, respectively. A correlation analysis of the transcriptome and proteome data revealed related-genes involved in lignin biosynthesis are significant changes at different developmental stages during apple russeting formation. Some other transcription factors, such as MYBs, NACs and LIMs were also involved in apple russeting formation. In this study, one LIM transcription factor was preliminarily determined to be involved in lignin biosynthesis by combining to PAL-box element. Studying the identified genes and proteins will provide further insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling apple russeting formation.

Project description:The CHLD and CHLM genes encode proteins involved in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway. It was proposed that intermediates like magnesium protoporphyrin might play a role in retrograde plastid-to-nucleus signaling. In the present work we provide evidence that altered enzymes activity of the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway are causing changes in gene expression of over 200 nuclear genes. The expression of the CHLD gene was diminished after inducing the RNAi system by spraying dexamethasone. The expression of the CHLM gene was increased after inducing the overexpressor system by spraying ß-estradiol.

Project description:5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is the common precursor of all biological synthezised tetrapyrroles. Inhibition of ALA synthesis results in decreased amounts of chlorophylls, heme, siroheme and phytochrome. It was previously shown that 4 out of 5 Arabidopsis mutants uncoupling nuclear gene expression from the physiological state of the chloroplast are affected in plant tetrapyrrole biosynthesis. It is common to all four mutants to show a reduced ALA formation. We investigate the impact of reduced plastidic ALA synthesis on nuclear gene expression by inhibition of ALA formation using gabaculin and compare these effects with the gun4-1 mutant. Formation of 5-aminolevulinic acid was inhibited in Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 seedlings by application of 10 µM gabaculin. Additionally the Arabidopsis gun4-1 mutant was investigated. Seedlings were etiolated for 3 days on MS medium in absence or presence of gabaculin and subsequently deetiolated for 6 hours. Total RNA was extracted and used for microarray hybridisation.

Project description:Molecular events regulating apple fruit ripening and sensory quality are largely unknown. Such knowledge is essential for genomic-assisted apple breeding and postharvest quality management. In this study, a parallel transcriptome profile analysis, scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination and systematic physiological characterization were performed on two apple cultivars, Honeycrisp (HC) and Cripps Pink (CP), which have distinct ripening features and texture attributes. Systematic physiological characterization of fruit ripening based on weekly maturity data indicated substantial differences in fruit crispness and firmness at comparable ripening stages. SEM images of fruit cortex tissues prepared from fruits with equivalent maturity suggested that the cell wall thickness may contribute to the observed phenotypes of fruit firmness and crispness. A high-density long-oligo apple microarray consisting of duplex 190,135 cross-hybridization-free 50-70-mer isothermal probes, and representing 23,997 UniGene clusters, was manufactured on a Nimblegen array platform. Transcriptome profiling identified a total of 1793 and 1209 UniGene clusters differentially expressed during ripening from cortex tissues of HC and CP, respectively. UniGenes implicated in hormone metabolism and response, cell wall biosynthesis and modification and those encoding transcription factors were among the prominent functional groups. Between the two cultivars, most of the identified UniGenes were similarly regulated during fruit ripening; however, a short list of gene families or specific family members exhibited distinct expression patterns between the two cultivars, which may represent candidate genes regulating cultivar-specific apple fruit ripening patterns and quality attributes. Using a single color labeling system, a total of 24 microarray slides were utilized, one for each cortex tissue sample, for transcriptome profiling analysis. 2 cultivars x 3 developmental stages x 4 biological replicates.
