A Tree Peony Trihelix Transcription Factor PrASIL1 Represses Seed Oil Accumulation.

ABSTRACT: In many higher plants, seed oil accumulation is governed by complex multilevel regulatory networks including transcriptional regulation, which primarily affects fatty acid biosynthesis. Tree peony (Paeonia rockii), a perennial deciduous shrub endemic to China is notable for its seed oil that is abundant in unsaturated fatty acids. We discovered that a tree peony trihelix transcription factor, PrASIL1, localized in the nucleus, is expressed predominantly in developing seeds during maturation. Ectopic overexpression of PrASIL1 in Nicotiana benthamiana leaf tissue and Arabidopsis thaliana seeds significantly reduced total fatty acids and altered the fatty acid composition. These changes were in turn associated with the decreased expression of multitudinous genes involved in plastidial fatty acid synthesis and oil accumulation. Thus, we inferred that PrASIL1 is a critical transcription factor that represses oil accumulation by down-regulating numerous key genes during seed oil biosynthesis. In contrary, up-regulation of oil biosynthesis genes and a significant increase in total lipids and several major fatty acids were observed in PrASIL1-silenced tree peony leaves. Together, these results provide insights into the role of trihelix transcription factor PrASIL1 in controlling seed oil accumulation. PrASIL1 can be targeted potentially for oil enhancement in tree peony and other crops through gene manipulation.

Tree peony transcription factor PrWRI1 enhances seed oil accumulation.

Project description:BackgroundWRINKLED1 (WRI1) encodes a transcription factor, belonging to the APETALA2 (AP2) family, and plays a key role in regulating plant oil biosynthesis. As a newly woody oil crop, tree peony (Paeonia rockii) was notable for the abundant unsaturated fatty acids in its seed oil. However, the role of WRI1 during the accumulation of P. rockii seeds oil remains largely unknown.ResultsIn this study, a new member of the WRI1 family was isolated from P. rockii and was named PrWRI1. The ORF of PrWRI1 consisted of 1269 nucleotides, encoding a putative protein of 422 amino acids, and was highly expressed in immature seeds. Subcellular localization analysis in onion inner epidermal cells showed that PrWRI1 was located at the nucleolus. Ectopic overexpression of PrWRI1 could significantly increase the total fatty acid content in Nicotiana benthamiana leaf tissue and even PUFAs in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana seeds. Furthermore, the transcript levels of most genes related to fatty acids (FA) synthesis and triacylglycerol (TAG) assembly were also up-regulated in transgenic Arabidopsis seeds.ConclusionsTogether, PrWRI1 could push carbon flow to FA biosynthesis and further enhance the TAG amount in seeds with a high proportion of PUFAs.

Enhancing the Stability and Bioaccessibility of Tree Peony Seed Oil Using Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembling Bilayer Emulsions.

Project description:Tree peony seed oil (TPSO) is an important plant source of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (α-linolenic acid, ALA > 40%) that is receiving increasing attention for its excellent antioxidant and other activities. However, it has poor stability and bioavailability. In this study, a bilayer emulsion of TPSO was successfully prepared using a layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. Among the proteins and polysaccharides examined, whey protein isolate (WPI) and sodium alginate (SA) were found to be the most suitable wall materials. The prepared bilayer emulsion contained 5% TPSO, 0.45% whey protein isolate (WPI) and 0.5% sodium alginate (SA) under selected conditions and its zeta potential, droplet size, and polydispersity index were -31 mV, 1291 nm, and 27%, respectively. The loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency for TPSO were up to 84% and 90.2%, respectively. It was noteworthy that the bilayer emulsion showed significantly enhanced oxidative stability (peroxide value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances content) compared to the monolayer emulsion, which was accompanied by a more ordered spatial structure caused by the electrostatic interaction of the WPI with the SA. This bilayer emulsion also exhibited markedly improved environmental stability (pH, metal ion), rheological properties, and physical stability during storage. Furthermore, the bilayer emulsion was more easily digested and absorbed, and had higher fatty acid release rate and ALA bioaccessibility than TPSO alone and the physical mixtures. These results suggest that bilayer emulsion containing WPI and SA is an effective TPSO encapsulation system and has significant potential for future functional food development.

PETAL LOSS, a trihelix transcription factor that represses growth in Arabidopsis thaliana, binds the energy-sensing SnRK1 kinase AKIN10.

Project description:Organogenesis in plants involves differential growth. Rapidly growing primordia are distinguished from the meristem and each other by slower growing boundaries. PETAL LOSS (PTL) is a trihelix transcription factor of Arabidopsis that represses growth in boundaries between newly arising sepals. To identify partners involved in this growth limitation, a young inflorescence cDNA library was screened by yeast two-hybrid technology with PTL as bait. The most frequent prey identified was AKIN10, the catalytic α-subunit of the Snf1-related kinase1 (SnRK1). Interaction was mapped to the C-terminal (non-kinase) half of AKIN10 and the N-terminal portion of PTL. Binding of PTL was specific to AKIN10 as there was little binding to the related AKIN11. The interaction was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation in vitro. Fluorescently tagged products of 35S:YFP-AKIN10 and 35S:CFP-PTL also interacted when transiently expressed together in leaf cells of Nicotiana benthamiana. In this case, most of the cytoplasmic AKIN10 was preferentially moved to the nucleus where PTL accumulated, possibly because a nuclear export sequence in AKIN10 was now masked. During these experiments, we observed that AKIN10 could variably accumulate in the Golgi, shown by its co-localization with a tagged Golgi marker and through its dispersal by brefeldin A. Tests of phosphorylation of PTL by AKIN10 gave negative results. The functional significance of the PTL-AKIN10 interaction remains open, although a testable hypothesis is that AKIN10 senses lower energy levels in inter-sepal zones and, in association with PTL, promotes reduced cell division.

WRKY Transcription Factor OsWRKY29 Represses Seed Dormancy in Rice by Weakening Abscisic Acid Response.

Project description:For efficient plant reproduction, seed dormancy delays seed germination until the environment is suitable for the next generation growth and development. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays important role in the induction and maintenance of seed dormancy. Previous studies have identified that WRKY transcription factors can regulate ABA signaling pathway. Here, we identified an Oswrky29 mutant with enhanced dormancy in a screen of T-DNA insertion population. OsWRKY29 is a member of WRKY transcription factor family which located in the nuclear. The genetic analyses showed that both knockout and RNAi lines of OsWRKY29 had enhanced seed dormancy whereas its overexpression lines displayed reduced seed dormancy. When treated with ABA, OsWRKY29 knockout and RNAi lines showed greater sensitivity than its overexpression lines. In addition, the expression levels of ABA positive response factors OsVP1 and OsABF1 were higher in the OsWRKY29 mutants but were lower in its overexpression lines. Further assays showed that OsWRKY29 could bind to the promoters of OsABF1 and OsVP1 to inhibit their expression. In summary, we identified a new ABA signaling repressor OsWRKY29 that represses seed dormancy by directly downregulating the expression of OsABF1 and OsVP1.

Integrated Profiling of Fatty Acids, Sterols and Phenolic Compounds in Tree and Herbaceous Peony Seed Oils: Marker Screening for New Resources of Vegetable Oil.

Project description:Tree peonies (Paeonia ostii and Paeonia rockii) are popular ornamental plants. Moreover, these plants have become oil crops in recent years. However, there are limited compositional studies focused on fatty acids. Therefore, this work aims to reveal compositional characteristics, regarding fatty acids, sterols, γ-tocopherol and phenolic compounds, of tree peony seed oils from all major cultivation areas in China, and to compare with herbaceous peony seed oil. For that, an integrative analysis was performed by GC-FID, GC-MS and UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS technologies. The main fatty acid was α-linolenic acid (39.0-48.3%), while β-sitosterol (1802.5-2793.7 mg/kg) and fucosterol (682.2-1225.1 mg/kg) were the dominant phytosterols. Importantly, 34 phenolic compounds, including paeonol and "Paeonia glycosides" (36.62-103.17 μg/g), were characterized in vegetable oils for the first time. Conclusively, this work gives new insights into the phytochemical composition of peony seed oil and reveals the presence of bioactive compounds, including "Paeonia glycosides".

Molecular mechanism of the extended oil accumulation phase contributing to the high seed oil content for the genotype of tung tree (Vernicia fordii).

Project description:BackgroundOil from seeds of the tung tree (Vernicia fordii) has unique drying properties that are industrially important. We found that the extended oil accumulation period was related to the high seed oil content at maturity among tung tree population. In order to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the high oil content in tung tree seed, Tree H and L were adopted for the further investigation, with seed oil content of about 70 and 45%, respectively. We compared the transcriptomic changes of seed at various times during oil accumulation between the two trees.ResultsTranscriptomes analysis revealed that many genes involved in glycolysis, fatty acid synthesis, and tri-acyl glyceride assembly still kept high expression in the late period of seed oil accumulation for Tree H only. Many genes in fatty acid degradation pathway were largely up regulated in the late period of seed oil accumulation for Tree L only. Four transcription factors related to fatty acid biosynthesis had different expression pattern in the seed oil accumulation period for the two trees. WRI1 was down regulated and kept the low expression in the late period of seed oil accumulation for the two trees. PII, LEC1 and LEC1-LIKE extended the high expression in the late period of seed oil accumulation in Tree H only.ConclusionsThe continued accumulation of oil in the late period of seed oil accumulation for Tree H was associated with relatively high expression of the relevant genes in glycolysis, fatty acid synthesis and tri-acyl glyceride assembly. PII, LEC1, and LEC1-LIKE rather than WRI1 should play an important role in the oil continual accumulation in the late period of seed oil accumulation in Tree H. This study provides novel insight into the variation in seed oil content and informs plant breeding strategies to maximize oil yield.

Trihelix Transcription Factor ZmThx20 Is Required for Kernel Development in Maize.

Project description:Maize kernels are the harvested portion of the plant and are related to the yield and quality of maize. The endosperm of maize is a large storage organ that constitutes 80-90% of the dry weight of mature kernels. Maize kernels have long been the study of cereal grain development to increase yield. In this study, a natural mutation that causes abnormal kernel development, and displays a shrunken kernel phenotype, was identified and named "shrunken 2008 (sh2008)". The starch grains in sh2008 are loose and have a less proteinaceous matrix surrounding them. The total storage protein and the major storage protein zeins are ~70% of that in the wild-type control (WT); in particular, the 19 kDa and 22 kDa α-zeins. Map-based cloning revealed that sh2008 encodes a GT-2 trihelix transcription factor, ZmThx20. Using CRISPR/Cas9, two other alleles with mutated ZmThx20 were found to have the same abnormal kernel. Shrunken kernels can be rescued by overexpressing normal ZmThx20. Comparative transcriptome analysis of the kernels from sh2008 and WT showed that the GO terms of translation, ribosome, and nutrient reservoir activity were enriched in the down-regulated genes (sh2008/WT). In short, these changes can lead to defects in endosperm development and storage reserve filling in seeds.

Transcription Factor DOF4.1 Regulates Seed Longevity in Arabidopsis <i>via</i> Seed Permeability and Modulation of Seed Storage Protein Accumulation.

Project description:Seed longevity is modulated by multiple genetic factors in Arabidopsis thaliana. A previous genome-wide association study using the Elevated Partial Pressure of Oxygen (EPPO) aging assay pinpointed a genetic locus associated with this trait. Reverse genetics identified the transcription factor DOF4.1 as a novel seed longevity factor. dof4.1 loss-of-function plants generate seeds exhibiting higher germination after accelerated aging assays. DOF4.1 is expressed during seed development and RNAseq data show several putative factors that could contribute to the dof4.1 seed longevity phenotype. dof4.1 has reduced seed permeability and a higher levels of seed storage proteins mRNAs (cruciferins and napins) in developing seeds, as compared to wild-type seeds. It has been reported that mutant lines defective in cruciferins or napins present reduced seed longevity. The improved longevity of dof4.1 is totally lost in the quadruple mutant dof4.1 cra crb crc, but not in a dof4.1 line depleted of napins, suggesting a prominent role for cruciferins in this process. Moreover, a negative regulation of DOF4.1 expression by the transcription factor DOF1.8 is suggested by co-inoculation assays in Nicotiana benthamiana. Indeed, DOF1.8 expression anticorrelates with that of DOF4.1 during seed development. In summary, modulation of DOF4.1 levels during seed development contributes to regulate seed longevity.

Genome-Wide Analyses of MADS-Box Genes Reveal Their Involvement in Seed Development and Oil Accumulation of Tea-Oil Tree (<i>Camellia oleifera</i>).

Project description:The seeds of Camellia oleifera produce high amount of oil, which can be broadly used in the fields of food, industry, and medicine. However, the molecular regulation mechanisms of seed development and oil accumulation in C. oleifera are unclear. In this study, evolutionary and expression analyses of the MADS-box gene family were performed across the C. oleifera genome for the first time. A total of 86 MADS-box genes (ColMADS) were identified, including 60 M-type and 26 MIKC members. More gene duplication events occurred in M-type subfamily (6) than that in MIKC subfamily (2), and SEP-like genes were lost from the MIKCC clade. Furthermore, 8, 15, and 17 differentially expressed ColMADS genes (DEGs) were detected between three developmental stages of seed (S1/S2, S2/S3, and S1/S3), respectively. Among these DEGs, the STK-like ColMADS12 and TT16-like ColMADS17 were highly expressed during the seed formation (S1 and S2), agreeing with their predicted functions to positively regulate the seed organogenesis and oil accumulation. While ColMADS57 and ColMADS07 showed increasing expression level with the seed maturation (S2 and S3), conforming to their potential roles in promoting the seed ripening. In all, these results revealed a critical role of MADS-box genes in the C. oleifera seed development and oil accumulation, which will contribute to the future molecular breeding of C. oleifera.
