Arabidopsis WIND1 induces callus formation in rapeseed, tomato, and tobacco.

ABSTRACT: The capacity to promote cell dedifferentiation is widespread among plant species. We have recently reported that an AP2/ERF transcription factor WOUND INDUCED DEDIFFERENTIATION 1 (WIND1) and its paralogues, WIND2-4, promote cell dedifferentiation in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Phylogenetic analyses suggest that AtWIND1 orthologs are found in land plants and that the shared peptide motifs between Arabidopsis paralogues are conserved in putative orthologs in dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants. In this study we show that AtWIND1 chemically induced rapeseed and tomato, as well as AtWIND1 constitutively expressed tobacco, promote callus formation on phytohormone-free medium. Our results suggest that the WIND1-mediated signaling cascade to promote cell dedifferentiation might be conserved in at least several species of Brassicaceae and Solanaceae.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of age-related change of callus formation capability in Arabidopsis hypocotyls Organogenesis in vitro consists of many aspects such as phytohormone perception, dedifferentiation of differentiated cell to acquire organogenic competence, and re-entry of quiescent cells into cell cycle. In this study, we established an in vitro experimental system to study the age-dependent callus formation capacity in Arabidopsis. Interestingly, mature (35- to 38-day-old) hypocotyl explants exhibited better callus-forming potential than that of juvenile (7- to 10-day-old), determined by callus growth rates. To explore genome-wide expression changes underlying the phenomenon of age-dependent callus formation, a transcriptome-based analysis was performed. Gene expression profiling indicated that age-dependent callus formation capacity was associated with changes in phytohormone (auxins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, brassinosteroids and gibberellins) homeostasis, epigenetic mechanism and the cell cycle regulation. Besides, we identified two groups of genes involved in age-dependent callus formation capacity: (1) positive regulatory and (2) negative regulatory categories, i.e. genes that were significantly up- or down-regulated during callus formation derived from mature explants, respectively. One gene encoding DNA-binding protein (VARIANT IN METHYLATION 1, VIM1) belonging to the positive regulatory category was selected for functional analysis and assessment of age-dependent callus formation capacity. Indeed, vim1 reduced the efficiency of callus formation in mature explants, but not in juvenile. The result suggests that VIM1 plays an important role in regulating age-dependent callus formation capacity. Taken together, the investigation will help to better understand the molecular regulatory mechanism of age-dependent callus formation.
