A multifaceted analysis reveals two distinct phases of chloroplast biogenesis during de-etiolation in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Light triggers chloroplast differentiation whereby the etioplast transforms into a photosynthesizing chloroplast and the thylakoid rapidly emerges. However, the sequence of events during chloroplast differentiation remains poorly understood. Using Serial Block Face Scanning Electron Microscopy (SBF-SEM), we generated a series of chloroplast 3D reconstructions during differentiation, revealing chloroplast number and volume and the extent of envelope and thylakoid membrane surfaces. Furthermore, we used quantitative lipid and whole proteome data to complement the (ultra)structural data, providing a time-resolved, multi-dimensional description of chloroplast differentiation. This showed two distinct phases of chloroplast biogenesis: an initial photosynthesis-enabling 'Structure Establishment Phase' followed by a 'Chloroplast Proliferation Phase' during cell expansion. Moreover, these data detail thylakoid membrane expansion during de-etiolation at the seedling level and the relative contribution and differential regulation of proteins and lipids at each developmental stage. Altogether, we establish a roadmap for chloroplast differentiation, a critical process for plant photoautotrophic growth and survival.

Establishment of photosynthesis through chloroplast development is controlled by two distinct regulatory phases

Project description:A pluripotent inducible cell line was generated from Arabidopsis to address the limitations of traditional in planta dicot systems and to develop a well-controlled experimental setup where the individual regulatory check points of chloroplast development could be defined. Following light exposure, this cell line was shown to differentiate into photosynthetically active cells with functional chloroplasts providing an experimental system with a temporal gradient of chloroplast development. Using this unique cell line from the dicot Arabidopsis we could demonstrate that the development from a proplastid to a functional chloroplast, and thereby the establishment of photosynthesis, is dependent on a regulatory mechanism involving two distinct phases. First, light exposure triggers an initial change in gene expression, metabolite profile, chlorophyll accumulation and plastid structure. Secondly, a second signal, most likely triggered by activation of the chloroplast, is required for full transition to a functional chloroplast and the shift from heterotrophic to photoautotrophic metabolism.

Expression data from Arabidopsis during de-etiolation

Project description:Arabidopsis fc2-1 mutants fail to properly de-etiolate after a prolonged period in the dark. Our goal was to monitor whole genome expression during the first 2 hours of de-etiolation to determine the cuase of this growth arrest. In comparison with other mutants that also affect de-etiolation, we identified a subset of genes specifically regulated by FC2 function during de-etiolation.

Autophagy mutants show delayed chloroplast development during de-etiolation in carbon limiting conditions

Project description:Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that plays an essential role under nutrient starvation condition and influences different developmental processes. We observed that seedlings of autophagy mutants (atg2, atg5, atg7, and atg9) germinated in the dark showed delayed chloroplast development following illumination. The delayed chloroplast development was characterized by a decrease in photosynthetic and chlorophyll biosynthetic proteins, lower chlorophyll content, reduced chloroplast size, and increased levels of proteins involved in lipid biosynthesis. Confirming the biological impact of these differences, photosynthetic performance was impaired in autophagy mutants 12h post illumination. We observed that while gene expression for photosynthetic machinery during de-etiolation was largely unaffected in atg mutants, several genes involved in photosystem assembly were transcriptionally downregulated. We also investigated if the delayed chloroplast development could be explained by lower lipid import to the chloroplast or lower triglyceride (TAG) turnover. We observed that the limitations in the chloroplast lipid import imposed by trigalactosyldiacylglycerol1 are unlikely to explain the delay in chloroplast development. However, we found that lower TAG mobility in the triacylglycerol lipase mutant sugardependent1 significantly affected de-etiolation. Moreover, we showed that lower levels of carbon resources exacerbated the slow-greening phenotype whereas higher levels of carbon resources had an opposite effect. This work suggests a lack of autophagy machinery limits chloroplast development during de-etiolation, and this is exacerbated by limited lipid turnover (lipophagy) that physically or energetically restrains chloroplast development.

Tissue specific light response during Arabidopsis de-etiolation

Project description:The time between seed germination and the development of the first true leaves is crucial for plants success. Depending on the environmental light conditions a plant must decide which developmental program to use. If light is limited, the seedling will use etiolated growth characterized by an elongated hypocotyl and tightly-closed, underdeveloped cotyledons, thus allowing it to reach a light source as quickly as possible. In contrast, seedlings that are grown in unlimited light will use de-etiolation growth, that is characterized by inhibited hypocotyl growth and unhooked, unfolded and fully expanded cotyledons. These seedlings become photosynthetic and increase their chances for reproduction. Interestingly, the outcome of the light signal varies between the seedling’s different organs, e.g. hypocotyl growth is inhibited by light whereas cotyledon expansion is induced. Separating the cotyledons and hypocotyls of de-etiolated seedlings during their first 12 hours of white light exposure, enabled us to perform individual transcriptome analyses of each organ and to examine what causes this variation in light responsiveness.

Proteomics of Arabidopsis seedlings during de-etiolation

Project description:Light triggers chloroplast differentiation whereby the etioplast transforms into a photosynthesizing chloroplast and the thylakoid rapidly emerges. However, the sequence of events during chloroplast differentiation remains poorly understood. Here we used whole-seedling proteome data to quantify changes in protein abundances during the course of de-etiolation within the first four days of light exposure. This data complements quantitative lipid and (ultra)structural data described in Pipitone et al. (doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.08.30.274043).
