Project description:In order to investigate the salt stress induced chlorophyll biosynthesis-related genes in photoheterotrophic cultures, we performed RNA-Seq analysis on A. thaliana calli exposed to 100 mM NaCl on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D 30 days. Four different conditions of samples were sequenced on Illumina HiSeq Platform in total and generated about 4.49 Gb per sample. The average genome and gene mapping rates were 93.52% and 90.78%, respectively. According to expression profile analysis, some DEGs demonstrated altered related to chlorophyll pigment metabolism. According to analysis, green callus color of photoheterotrophic calli were mainly connected with the induction of LHCB4.3 light harvesting complex photosystem II (Gene ID:818599), AT1G49975 photosystem I reaction center subunit N (Gene ID: 841421), PAM68 PAM68-like protein (DUF3464) (Gene ID: 2745715) and AT3G63540 thylakoid lumenal protein (Mog1/PsbP/DUF1795-like photosystem II reaction center PsbP family protein)(Gene ID: 7922413) genes. Furthermore, 8 DEGs were randomly selected to validate the transcriptome profiles via qPCR. These results will provide a foundation for further studies aimed at giving photosynthetic properties to in vitro plant cultures.

Project description:Cell-cell communication is critical for stem cell maintenance. Shoot apical meristem (SAM) located at the shoot tip harbors stem cells within the central zone (CZ). Their progeny differentiate in the adjacent peripheral zone (PZ). WUSCHEL (WUS) is a homeodomain transcription factor produced in a few cells of the organizing center (OC), located beneath the CZ. It has been shown to specify stem cell fate and also activate CLAVATA3 (CLV3) expression in cells of the CZ. CLV3 is a secreted peptide that activates a membrane bound receptor kinase-CLAVATA1 to restrict WUS transcription to the OC. It has been hypothesized that WUS activates CLV3 expression and stem cell fate in adjacent cells of the CZ by activating a non-cell autonomous signal. Contrary to this hypothesis, here we show that the WUS protein after being synthesized in cells of the OC, migrates into the superficial cell layers of the CZ where it activates CLV3 transcription by binding to its promoter elements. WUS also migrates laterally into the PZ to repress the expression of differentiation promoting transcription factors by binding to their regulatory regions. Migration of a stem cell inducing transcription factor into adjacent cells to activate a negative regulator, whereby restricting its own accumulation is unique to plant stem cell niches. While stem cell promoting transcription factor directly repressing differentiation promoting transcription factors to prevent premature differentiation of stem cell progenitors is conserved among diverse stem cell niches. A dexamethasone inducible version of WUSCHEL was used to identify its direct tragets. To analyze WUS-regulated gene expression programs at a higher spatial resolution, we introduced a dexamethasone (Dex)-inducible form of WUS consisting of the WUS protein-coding region fused to sequences coding for the ligand-binding domain of the rat glucocorticoid receptor (GR), expressed under a ubiquitous promoter (35S::WUS-GR) into apetala1-1;cauliflower1-1 (ap1-1;cal1-1) double mutant background. 35S::WUS-GR; ap1-1;cal1-1 SAMs were either treated with 10μM Dex or mock solution for four hours and RNA samples were hybridized to Arabidopsis ATH1 gene Chip (Affymmetrix). To identify putative genes that are directly regulated by WUS, in independent experiments, SAMs were simultaneously treated with 10μM Dex and 10μM Cycloheximide (Cyc), protein synthesis inhibitor and Cyc alone for four hours. A comparison of Dex-treated samples with mock identified 641 genes as differentially expressed [DEGs] (≥/≤2 fold; p < 0.01) and comparison of Dex+Cyc with Cyc identified 457 genes as DEGs (≥/≤2 fold; p < 0.01).

Project description:Plant thylakoid membranes contain hundreds of proteins closely interplaying to cope with ever-changing environmental conditions. We investigated how P. sativum (pea) grown at different irradiances optimizes light-use efficiency through the differential accumulation of thylakoid proteins. Thylakoid membranes from plants grown under limiting (LL), normal (NL) and high (HL) light intensity were characterized by combining chlorophyll fluorescence measurements with quantitative proteomic analysis. Protein sequences retrieved from available transcriptomic data considerably improved the protein profiling. We found that increasing growth irradiance affects the electron transport kinetics but not Photosystem (PS) I and II relative abundance. Two acclimation strategies were evident comparing plants acclimated to LL with higher irradiances: 1) in NL, plants turn on photoprotective responses mostly regulating the PSII light-harvesting capacity either accumulating Lhcb4.3 or favouring the xanthophyll cycle; 2) in HL, plants reduce the LHCII pool and enhance the PSII repair cycle. At increasing growth irradiance, plants increase the accumulation of ATP synthase and boost the electron transport to finely tune the ΔpH across the membrane and adjust the thylakoid architecture to optimize protein trafficking. Our results provide a quantitative snapshot on how plants coordinate light-harvesting, electron transport and protein synthesis adjusting the thylakoid membrane proteome in a light-dependent manner

Project description:The shoot apical meristem (SAM) of angiosperm plants is a highly organized minute structure that gives rise to all above-ground organs. The SAM is divided into three different functional domains. The central zone (CZ) at the SAM tip harbors the self-renewing pluripotent stem cells and the organizing center, providing daughter cells that are continuously displaced into the interior rib zone (RZ) or to the surrounding peripheral zone (PZ), from which organ primordia are initiated. Despite the constant flow of cells from the CZ into the RZ or PZ, and cell recruitment for primordium formation, a stable balance is maintained between the distinct cell populations in the SAM. Here we combined an in depth phenotypic analysis with a comparative RNA-Seq approach to characterize meristems from selected combinations of clavata3 (clv3), jabba-1D (jba1D) and erecta (er) mutants. We demonstrate that CLV3 restricts meristem expansion along the apical basal axis, while class III HD-ZIP and ER pathways restrict meristem expansion laterally, but in distinct and possibly perpendicular orientations. Our k-means analysis reveals that clv3, jba-1D/+ and er lead to meristem enlargement by affecting different aspects of meristem function, e.g., that clv3 displays increase in stem cell population, whereas jba-1D/+ er exhibits increase in mitotic activity and in meristematic cell population. We demonstrate that thecombination of genetic and mRNA-Seq comparative approach provides a precise and sensitive method to identify cell type specific transcriptomes in a small structure such as the SAM.

Project description:Thylakoid membranes are the specialized internal membrane system produced in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria to convert sunlight to chemical energy via oxygenic photosynthesis. Cyanobacterial thylakoid membranes harbor the protein complexes and electron transport molecules that are necessary for photosynthetic light reactions and respiratory electron flow. The thylakoid membranes sit between the plasma membrane and the central cytoplasm, leading to intricate cellular compartmentalization. How thylakoid membranes are generated to form the functional network and how protein complexes are recruited into thylakoids remain elusive. Here, we developed a method to modulate thylakoid biogenesis in the model cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 and probed the spatial-temporal stepwise biogenesis process of cyanobacterial thylakoid membranes, using electron microscopy, in situ cryo-electron tomography, confocal microscopy, mass spectroscopy, and biochemical approaches. Our results revealed that the plasma membrane and regularly-arranged concentric thylakoid layers have no physical connections. The newly synthesized thylakoid membrane fragments commerce between the plasma membrane and pre-existing thylakoids, where the initial biogenesis of Photosystem II occurs. Photosystem I monomers appear in thylakoid membranes earlier than other photosystem assemblies. Redistribution of photosynthetic protein complexes during thylakoid biogenesis ensures establishment of the spatial organization of the functional thylakoid membrane network. This study provides insights into the molecular processes of the photosynthetic machinery biosynthesis and organization.

Project description:Here we describe TROL (thylakoid rhodanese-like protein), a nuclear-encoded component of thylakoid membranes that is required for sustaining efficient linear electron flow in vascular plants. Thus, TROL might represent a missing thylakoid membrane linker for the assembly of a ternary complex between FNR, ferredoxin and NADP+. Such a complex is necessary for maintaining photosynthetic redox poise and balancing between several alternative electron-transport pathways of oxygenic photosynthesis. TROL inactivation modulates the expression of 638 nuclear genes, revealing a novel retrograde signaling pathway. Chloroplasts are the major source of NADPH which is exported to the cytosol where it participates in various redox-dependent processes. TROL is most likely the first element in a metabolic signaling pathway which influences the expression of a large set of stress related genes. Among them are O-methyltransferases and anthocyanin 5-aromatic acyltransferase which are highly upregulated. Microarray analysis was performed in order to identify metabolic networks and pathways regulated by the deficient protein TROL. Comparing ATH1 Affymetrix data results, 317 genes were down-regulated and 321 genes were classified as up-regulated, amongst which mostly affected enzymes were catalyses, oxigenases, monooxygenases and reductases involved in the process of photosynthesis.
