Temperature-dependent fasciation mutants provide a link between mitochondrial RNA processing and lateral root morphogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Although mechanisms that activate organogenesis in plants are well established, much less is known about the subsequent fine-tuning of cell proliferation, which is crucial for creating properly structured and sized organs. Here we show, through analysis of temperature-dependent fasciation (TDF) mutants of Arabidopsis, root redifferentiation defective 1 (rrd1), rrd2, and root initiation defective 4 (rid4), that mitochondrial RNA processing is required for limiting cell division during early lateral root (LR) organogenesis. These mutants formed abnormally broadened (i.e. fasciated) LRs under high-temperature conditions due to extra cell division. All TDF proteins localized to mitochondria, where they were found to participate in RNA processing: RRD1 in mRNA deadenylation, and RRD2 and RID4 in mRNA editing. Further analysis suggested that LR fasciation in the TDF mutants is triggered by reactive oxygen species generation caused by defective mitochondrial respiration. Our findings provide novel clues for the physiological significance of mitochondrial activities in plant organogenesis.

Project description:The REIL proteins are required for late ribosomal biogenesis and accumulation of the 60S large ribosome subunit in mature leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana upon acclimation to low temperature. To validate these functions in roots, we conducted a multi-level system analysis targeted at understanding defects and compensations responses of reil mutants before acclimation to low temperature and following temperature shift. Hydroponic root tissue enabled analysis of eukaryotic ribosome complexes with negligible interference of organelle ribosomes. Hydroponic cultivation attenuated the growth defect of reil mutants at low temperature and provided new insights into the primary functions of Arabidopsis REIL proteins. Arabidopsis tightly controls the balance of non-translating 40S and 60S subunits. Reil mutants initially deplete both non-translating subunits upon shift to 10°C and subsequently replenish these pools slowly. Reil mutations compensate the 60S biosynthesis defect by increased baseline levels of non-translating 40S and 60S subunits and depletion of a likely non-translating, KCl-sensitive 80S sub-fraction in the cold. We infer that Arabidopsis buffers fluctuating translation demands following temperature cues by activating non-translating ribosome fractions before de novo synthesis meets temperature-induced demands. Reil1 reil2 double mutants accumulate 43S-preinitiation complexes and pre-60S-maturation complexes and affect the paralog composition of non-translating ribosome fractions. With few exceptions, e.g. RPL3B and RPL24C, these changes were not under transcriptional control. Our study suggests requirement of de novo synthesis of eukaryotic ribosomes for long-term cold acclimation. Double mutant analysis indicates feedback control of REIL-mediated 60S maturation on NUC2 and eIF3C2 transcription and implies functions of two so far non-described proteins in late plant ribosome biogenesis. We propose that Arabidopsis requires biosynthesis of specialized ribosomes for successful cold acclimation.
