Ectopic application of the repressive histone modification H3K9me2 establishes postzygotic reproductive isolation in Arabidopsis thaliana

ABSTRACT: Hybrid seed lethality as a consequence of interspecies or interploidy hybridizations is a major mechanism of reproductive isolation in plants. This mechanism is manifested in the endosperm, a dosage sensitive tissue supporting embryo growth. Deregulated expression of imprinted genes like ADMETOS (ADM) underpin the interploidy hybridization barrier in Arabidopsis thaliana, however, the mechanisms of their action remained unknown. In this study we show that ADM interacts with the AT-hook domain protein AHL10 and the SET domain-containing SU(VAR)3-9 homolog SUVH9 and ectopically recruits the heterochromatic mark H3K9me2 to AT-rich transposable elements (TEs), causing deregulated expression of neighboring genes. Several hybrid incompatibility genes identified in Drosophila encode for heterochromatin-interacting proteins, which has led to the suggestion that hybrid incompatibilities evolve as consequence of interspecies divergence of selfish DNA elements and their regulation. Our data showing that imbalance of dosage-sensitive chromatin regulators underpins hybrid incompatibility in Arabidopsis strongly support this view, demonstrating that reproductive isolation as a consequence of epigenetic regulation of TEs is a conserved feature in animals and plants.

RNA-Sequencing data from PofD119, Zhr1, PoX2Df1.688 and Oregon-R adult Drosophila melanogaster (Females and Males, separately).

Project description:The prominent role of pericentromeric Mbp block of 1.688 satellites in hybrid incompatibility, facilitating role of distributed X-linked 1.688 satellites in dosage compensation in males and being as a necessary element for POF recruitment to chromosome X in females led us to further investigate the role of 1.688 satellites and POF in chromosome-wide gene regulation by comparing RNA-seq data from the relevant mutants in comparison to wildtype.

Maternal siRNAs as regulators of parental genome imbalance and gene expression in endosperm of Arabidopsis seeds.

Project description:Seed size is important to crop domestication and natural selection and is affected by the balance of maternal and paternal genomes in endosperm. Endosperm, like placenta in mammals, provides reserves to the developing embryo. Interploidy crosses disrupt the genome balance in endosperm and alter seed size. Specifically, paternal-excess crosses (2 M-CM-^W 4) delay endosperm cellularization (EC) and produce larger seeds, whereas maternal-excess crosses (4 M-CM-^W 2) promote precocious EC and produce smaller seeds. The mechanisms for responding to the parental genome dosage imbalance and for gene expression changes in endosperm are unknown. In plants, RNA polymerase IV (PolIV or p4) encoded by NRPD1a is required for biogenesis of a major class of 24-nt small interfering RNAs (also known as p4-siRNAs), which are predominately expressed in developing endosperm. Here we show that p4-siRNA accumulation depends on the maternal genome dosage, and maternal p4-siRNAs target transposable elements (TEs) and TE-associated genes (TAGs) in seeds. The p4-siRNAs correlate negatively with expression levels of AGAMOUS-LIKE (AGL) genes in endosperm of interploidy crosses. Moreover, disruption of maternal NRPD1a expression is associated with p4-siRNA reduction and AGL up-regulation in endosperm of reciprocal crosses. This is unique genetic evidence for maternal siRNAs in response to parental genome imbalance and in control of transposons and gene expression during endosperm development. 8 samples: 2x X 2x seed,leaf; 4x X 4x seed,leaf; 2x X 4x seed,leaf; 4x X 2x seed,leaf.

Interspecies hybridization between Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis arenosa

Project description:Hybrid matings between A. thaliana and A. arenosa result in post zygotic seed lethality resulting in hybridization barrier between the two species. This barrier can be overcome to a large degree by increasing the genome dosage of the maternal genome (i.e. A. thaliana) in a cross between the two species. In this experiment we assayed the transcriptome of an incompatible cross (2x At x 2x Aa) with high seed lethality and a compatible cross (4x At x 2x Aa) using silique tissue at 5 days after pollination. We used microarrays to identify dosage responsive gene in interspecies hybridization Keywords: differential expression

A photosynthesis operon in the chloroplast genome drives speciation in evening primroses

Project description:Genetic incompatibility between the cytoplasm and the nucleus is thought to be a major factor in species formation, but mechanistic understanding of this process is poor. In evening primroses (Oenothera spp.), a model plant for organelle genetics and population biology, hybrid offspring regularly display chloroplast-nuclear incompatibility. This usually manifests in bleached plants, more rarely in hybrid sterility. Hence, most of these incompatibilities affect photosynthetic capability, a trait that is under selection in changing environments. Here we show that light-dependent misregulation of the plastid psbB operon, which encodes core subunits of photosystem II and the cytochrome b6f complex, can lead to hybrid incompatibility, and this ultimately drives speciation. This misregulation causes an impaired light acclimation response in incompatible plants. Moreover, as a result of their different chloroplast genotypes, the parental lines differ in photosynthesis performance upon exposure to different light conditions. Significantly, the incompatible chloroplast genome is naturally found in xeric habitats with high light intensities, whereas the compatible one is limited to mesic habitats. Consequently, our data raise the possibility that the hybridization barrier evolved as a result of adaptation to specific climatic conditions.

Comparative analysis of stylar canal cells transcriptome in clementine mandarin (Citrus clementina)

Project description:Compared to what is known in model species, reproductive biology in citrus is still poorly understood. Although in recent years several efforts have been made to study pollen-pistil interaction and self-incompatibility, little information is available about the molecular mechanisms regulating these processes. We performed microarray analysis for the identification of candidate genes involved in pollen-pistil interaction and self-incompatibility in clementine (Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan.). The analysis was performed comparing the transcriptome of laser-microdissected stylar canal cells isolated from two clementine genotypes differing for self-incompatibility response (‘Comune’, self-incompatible; and ‘Monreal’, a self compatible mutation of ‘Comune’).

Molecular insights into female hybrid sterility in interspecific crosses between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans (small RNA-Seq)

Project description:Species of the genus Drosophila have served as favorite models in speciation studies, however genetic factors of the interspecific hybrid sterility are underinvestigated to date. Here we performed the analysis of reproductive incompatibilities of hybrid females in crossing Drosophila melanogaster females and Drosophila simulans males. Using transcriptomic data analysis, molecular, cellular and genetic approaches we analyzed differential gene expression, transposable element (TE) activity, piRNA biogenesis and functional defects of oogenesis in hybrids. A premature GSC loss was a most prominent defect of oogenesis in hybrid ovaries. Owing differential expression of genes encoding components of the piRNA pathway rhino and deadlock, functional RDCmel complex in hybrid ovaries was not assembled. At the same time the activity of RDCsim complex was maintained in hybrids, independently from the genomic origin of piRNA clusters. Despite identification of a cohort of overexpressed TEs in hybrid ovaries we found no evidences that their activity can be considered as the main cause of hybrid sterility. We revealed complex pattern of Vasa protein expression in hybrid germline, including partial AT-chX piRNA targeting of vasasim allele and significant developmental delay of vasamel expression. We came to the conclusions that complex multi-locus genetic changes between the species were responsible for hybrid sterility phenotype.
