Overexpression of the Peach Transcription Factor Early Bud-Break 1 Leads to More Branches in Poplar.

ABSTRACT: Shoot branching is an important adaptive trait that determines plant architecture. In a previous study, the Early bud-break 1 (EBB1) gene in peach (Prunus persica var. nectarina) cultivar Zhongyou 4 was transformed into poplar (Populus trichocarpa). PpEBB1-oe poplar showed a more branched phenotype. To understand the potential mechanisms underlying the EBB1-mediated branching, transcriptomic and proteomics analyses were used. The results showed that a large number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs)/differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) associated with light response, sugars, brassinosteroids (BR), and nitrogen metabolism were significantly enriched in PpEBB1-oe poplar. In addition, contents of sugars, BR, and amino acids were measured. Results showed that PpEBB1 significantly promoted the accumulation of fructose, glucose, sucrose, trehalose, and starch. Contents of brassinolide (BL), castasterone (CS), and 6-deoxocathasterone (6-deoxoCS) were all significantly changed with overexpressing PpEBB1. Various types of amino acids were measured and four of them were significantly improved in PpEBB1-oe poplar, including aspartic acid (Asp), arginine (Arg), cysteine (Cys), and tryptohpan (Trp). Taken together, shoot branching is a process controlled by a complex regulatory network, and PpEBB1 may play important roles in this process through the coordinating multiple metabolic pathways involved in shoot branching, including light response, phytohormones, sugars, and nitrogen.

EARLY BUD-BREAK 1 and EARLY BUD-BREAK 3 control resumption of poplar growth after winter dormancy.

Project description:Bud-break is an economically and environmentally important process in trees and shrubs from boreal and temperate latitudes, but its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that two previously reported transcription factors, EARLY BUD BREAK 1 (EBB1) and SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE-Like (SVL) directly interact to control bud-break. EBB1 is a positive regulator of bud-break, whereas SVL is a negative regulator of bud-break. EBB1 directly and negatively regulates SVL expression. We further report the identification and characterization of the EBB3 gene. EBB3 is a temperature-responsive, epigenetically-regulated, positive regulator of bud-break that provides a direct link to activation of the cell cycle during bud-break. EBB3 is an AP2/ERF transcription factor that positively and directly regulates CYCLIND3.1 gene. Our results reveal the architecture of a putative regulatory module that links temperature-mediated control of bud-break with activation of cell cycle.

EARLY BUD BREAK 1 triggers bud break in peach trees by regulating hormone metabolism, the cell cycle, and cell wall modifications.

Project description:In a previous study we identified EARLY BUD BREAK 1 (EBB1), an ERF transcription factor, in peach (Prunus persica var. nectarina cultivar Zhongyou 4); however, little is known of how PpEBB1 may regulate bud break. To verify the function of PpEBB1 in bud break, PpEBB1 was transiently transformed into peach buds, resulting in early bud break. Bud break occurred earlier in PpEBB1-oe poplar (Populus trichocarpa) obtained by heterologous transformation than in wild type (WT), consistent with the peach bud results, indicating that PpEBB1 can promote bud break. To explore how PpEBB1 affects bud break, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between WT and PpEBB1-oe poplar plants were identified by RNA-sequencing. The expression of DEGs associated with hormone metabolism, cell cycle, and cell wall modifications changed substantially according to qRT-PCR. Auxin, ABA, and total trans-zeatin-type cytokinin levels were higher in the PpEBB1-oe plants than in WT plants, while the total N6-(Δ 2-isopentenyl)-adenine-type cytokinins was lower. Yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays verified that a cell wall modification-related protein (PpEXBL1) interacted with PpEBB1 suggesting that PpEBB1 could interact with these cell wall modification proteins directly. Overall, our study proposed a multifaceted explanation for how PpEBB1 regulates bud break and showed that PpEBB1 promotes bud break by regulating hormone metabolism, the cell cycle, and cell wall modifications.

EARLY BUD-BREAK 1 (EBB1) is a regulator of release from seasonal dormancy in poplar trees.

Project description:Trees from temperate latitudes transition between growth and dormancy to survive dehydration and freezing stress during winter months. We used activation tagging to isolate a dominant mutation affecting release from dormancy and identified the corresponding gene EARLY BUD-BREAK 1 (EBB1). We demonstrate through positioning of the tag, expression analysis, and retransformation experiments that EBB1 encodes a putative APETALA2/Ethylene responsive factor transcription factor. Transgenic up-regulation of the gene caused early bud-flush, whereas down-regulation delayed bud-break. Native EBB1 expression was highest in actively growing apices, undetectable during the dormancy period, but rapidly increased before bud-break. The EBB1 transcript was localized in the L1/L2 layers of the shoot meristem and leaf primordia. EBB1-overexpressing transgenic plants displayed enlarged shoot meristems, open and poorly differentiated buds, and a higher rate of cell division in the apex. Transcriptome analyses of the EBB1 transgenics identified 971 differentially expressed genes whose expression correlated with the EBB1 expression changes in the transgenic plants. Promoter analysis among the differentially expressed genes for the presence of a canonical EBB1-binding site identified 65 putative target genes, indicative of a broad regulatory context of EBB1 function. Our results suggest that EBB1 has a major and integrative role in reactivation of meristem activity after winter dormancy.

Peach flower bud development

Project description:Thinning is indispensable practice in peach cultivation aiming to reduce fruit number per plant, promoting sink-source balance and reducing competition among fruit, which results in bigger fruit and the improvement of other fruit-quality parameters. Inhibition of floral induction by GAs has been largely demonstrated and commercial products based on GAs have been used to this aim. We tested a product GA4/7 based in different moments after full bloom in peach to reduce the number of flowers in the following season. Return to bloom and transcriptome analysis were performed to identify the best moment for the treatment, increasing the product efficacy and understanding the product action at genetic level.

EARLY BUD-BREAK1 (EBB1) defines a conserved mechanism for control of bud-break in woody perennials.

Project description:Bud-break is an environmentally and economically important trait in trees, shrubs and vines from temperate latitudes. Poor synchronization of bud-break timing with local climates can lead to frost injuries, susceptibility to pests and pathogens and poor crop yields in fruit trees and vines. The rapid climate changes outpace the adaptive capacities of plants to respond through natural selection. This is particularly true for trees which have long generation cycle and thus the adaptive changes are significantly delayed. Therefore, to devise appropriate breeding and conservation strategies, it is imperative to understand the molecular underpinnings that govern dormancy mechanisms. We have recently identified and characterized the poplar EARLY BUD-BREAK 1 (EBB1) gene. EBB1 is a positive regulator of bud-break and encodes a transcription factor from the AP2/ERF family. Here, using comparative and functional genomics approaches we show that EBB1 function in regulation of bud-break is likely conserved across wide range of woody perennial species with importance to forestry and agriculture.

Overexpression of a <i>SOC1</i>-Related Gene Promotes Bud Break in Ecodormant Poplars.

Project description:Perennial species in the boreal and temperate regions are subject to extreme annual variations in light and temperature. They precisely adapt to seasonal changes by synchronizing cycles of growth and dormancy with external cues. Annual dormancy-growth transitions and flowering involve factors that integrate environmental and endogenous signals. MADS-box transcription factors have been extensively described in the regulation of Arabidopsis flowering. However, their participation in annual dormancy-growth transitions in trees is minimal. In this study, we investigate the function of MADS12, a Populus tremula × alba SUPPRESSOR OF CONSTANS OVEREXPRESSION 1 (SOC1)-related gene. Our gene expression analysis reveals that MADS12 displays lower mRNA levels during the winter than during early spring and mid-spring. Moreover, MADS12 activation depends on the fulfillment of the chilling requirement. Hybrid poplars overexpressing MADS12 show no differences in growth cessation and bud set, while ecodormant plants display an early bud break, indicating that MADS12 overexpression promotes bud growth reactivation. Comparative expression analysis of available bud break-promoting genes reveals that MADS12 overexpression downregulates the GIBBERELLINS 2 OXIDASE 4 (GA2ox4), a gene involved in gibberellin catabolism. Moreover, the mid-winter to mid-spring RNAseq profiling indicates that MADS12 and GA2ox4 show antagonistic expression during bud dormancy release. Our results support MADS12 participation in the reactivation of shoot meristem growth during ecodormancy and link MADS12 activation and GA2ox4 downregulation within the temporal events that lead to poplar bud break.

Overexpression of Prunus DAM6 inhibits growth, represses bud break competency of dormant buds and delays bud outgrowth in apple plants.

Project description:Most deciduous fruit trees cultivated in the temperate zone require a genotype-dependent amounts of chilling exposure for dormancy release and bud break. In Japanese apricot (Prunus mume), DORMANCY-ASSOCIATED MADS-box 6 (PmDAM6) may influence chilling-mediated dormancy release and bud break. In this study, we attempted to elucidate the biological functions of PmDAM6 related to dormancy regulation by analyzing PmDAM6-overexpressing transgenic apple (Malus spp.). We generated 35S:PmDAM6 lines and chemically inducible overexpression lines, 35S:PmDAM6-GR. In both overexpression lines, shoot growth was inhibited and early bud set was observed. In addition, PmDAM6 expression repressed bud break competency during dormancy and delayed bud break. Moreover, PmDAM6 expression increased abscisic acid levels and decreased cytokinins contents during the late dormancy and bud break stages in both 35S:PmDAM6 and 35S:PmDAM6-GR. Our analysis also suggested that abscisic acid levels increased during dormancy but subsequently decreased during dormancy release whereas cytokinins contents increased during the bud break stage in dormant Japanese apricot buds. We previously revealed that PmDAM6 expression is continuously down-regulated during dormancy release toward bud break in Japanese apricot. The PmDAM6 expression pattern was concurrent with a decrease and increase in the abscisic acid and cytokinins contents, respectively, in dormant Japanese apricot buds. Therefore, we hypothesize that PmDAM6 represses the bud break competency during dormancy and bud break stages in Japanese apricot by modulating abscisic acid and cytokinins accumulation in dormant buds.

Enhancing the expression of <i>ARK1</i> genes in poplar leads to multiple branches and transcriptomic changes.

Project description:The ARBORKNOX1 (ARK1) gene is an important gene for regulating plant growth and development; however, transcriptomic responses of enhancing expression of ARK1 gene in poplar are poorly investigated. To provide insight into the gene function of the ARK1 gene in poplar, the ARK1 transgenic poplar '717' and '84 K' lines were obtained, the morphology of transgenic plants was observed, and transcriptome profiles were compared. The results showed that there were multiple branches in ARK1 transgenic seedlings compared with non-transgenic seedlings. The results of transcriptome analysis showed that there were significant differences in transcriptome profiles between the transgenic lines of '717' and '84 K', and between non-transgenic lines (CK) and transgenic plants. The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis confirmed the expression levels of the genes involved in the pathway of zeatin biosynthesis and brassinosteroid biosynthesis. The increase in expression levels of AHP and CYCD3 was related to multiple branches. Enhancing the expression of the ARK1 gene in poplar seedlings leads to multiple branches and transcriptomic changes.

Transcriptome analysis in buds of peach trees treated with hydrogen cyanamide that advanced bud break

Project description:To determine how dormancy breaking agent, hydrogen cyanamide (HC) advances bud break in peach (Prunus persica), this research compared the transcriptome of buds of low-chill ‘TropicBeauty’ peach trees treated with 1% (v/v) HC and that of non-treated trees at 3 and 7 days after treatment (DAT), respectively, using RNA sequencing analysis. The peak of total bud break occurred 6 weeks earlier in the HC treated trees (at 32 DAT) than the non-treated trees (at 74 DAT). There were 1312 and 1095 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 3 and 7 DAT, respectively. At 3 DAT, DEGs related to oxidative stress, including response to hypoxia, lipid oxidation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolic process, were up regulated in HC-treated buds. Additionally, DEGs encoding enzymes for ROS scavenging and pentose phosphate pathway were up regulated at 3 DAT but were not differently expressed at 7 DAT, indicating a temporary demand for defense mechanisms against HC-triggered oxidative stress. Up regulation of DEGs for cell division and development at 7 DAT, which were down regulated at 3 DAT, suggests cell activity was initially suppressed but enhanced within 7 days following the treatment. At 7 DAT, DEGs related to cell wall degradation and modification were up-regulated, possibly responsible for the burst of buds. The results of this study strongly suggest that HC induces transient oxidative stress shortly after application leading to the release of bud dormancy and, subsequently, causes an increase in cell activity and cell wall loosening, thereby accelerating bud break in peach.

Transcription factor TCP20 regulates peach bud endodormancy by inhibiting DAM5/DAM6 and interacting with ABF2.

Project description:The dormancy-associated MADS-box (DAM) genes PpDAM5 and PpDAM6 have been shown to play important roles in bud endodormancy; however, their molecular regulatory mechanism in peach is unclear. In this study, by use of yeast one-hybrid screening, we isolated a TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR transcription factor, PpTCP20, in the peach cultivar 'Zhongyou 4' (Prunus persica var. nectarina). The protein was localized in the nucleus and was capable of forming a homodimer. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated that PpTCP20 binds to a GCCCR element in the promoters of PpDAM5 and PpDAM6, and transient dual luciferase experiments showed that PpTCP20 inhibited the expression of PpDAM5 and PpDAM6 as the period of the release of flower bud endodormancy approached. In addition, PpTCP20 interacted with PpABF2 to form heterodimers to regulate bud endodormancy, and the content of abscisic acid decreased with the release of endodormancy. PpTCP20 also inhibited expression of PpABF2 to regulate endodormancy. Taken together, our results suggest that PpTCP20 regulates peach flower bud endodormancy by negatively regulating the expression of PpDAM5 and PpDAM6, and by interacting with PpABF2, thus revealing a novel regulatory mechanism in a perennial deciduous tree.
