Cucumber ovaries inhibited by dominant fruits still respond to pollination but display distinct metabolome and transcriptome profiles

ABSTRACT: Cucurbits represent an attractive model to explore the dynamics of fruit set. Here we set out to characterize first fruit inhibition (FFI), i.e. the inhibitory effect of the first fruits on subsequent development of younger ovaries during pollination induced fruit set. After the first fertilized ovaries set fruit, younger ovaries fertilized above them on the main stem remained in a temporary state of inhibition. During this stage, the ovaries preserved their size and green color, and if the older fruits were removed within a one-week reversibility window, the inhibited ones set fruit. We compared the gene expression profiles of pollinated ovaries (committed to set fruits) with respect both to those affected by FFI and to non-pollinated ovaries (comitted to senescence). The three fates of the ovaries were characterized at 1 day post anthesis, compare to anthesis, by wide changes in gene expression, with several specific transcripts being up- or down-regulated in response to the presence (or absence) of pollination. Metabolic profiling was undertaken and integrated with the transcriptomic data in order to characterize early physiological changes that occur in post-anthesis ovaries in parthenocarpic and non-parthenocarpic genotypes.

The search of genetic resources for parthenocarpic pears and comparison of gene expression between high and low parthenocarpy cultivars

Project description:Parthenocarpy—the production of seedless fruits without fertilization—is very useful for fruit cultivation. Among pear cultivars (Japanese, Chinese, and European pears and their interspecific hybrids) subjected to flower emasculation and left unpollinated, only some of the European pears had a stable and high degree of fruit set and fruit enlargement. Almost all the enlarged fruits formed no seeds. Comparison of fruits produced by using emasculation without pollination or with self-pollination ruled out the possibility of stenospermocarpy in these parthenocarpic pears. The results suggested that the abovementioned characteristics were inherited maternally by the next generation and that it should be possible to introduce parthenocarpy into Japanese pears. Neither Chinese nor Japanese pears treated with emasculation and no pollination showed consistently stable fruit set or fruit enlargement. In Chinese pears, these characteristics varied greatly from year to year, and in Japanese pears they were stable but weak. Although in each cultivar highly parthenocarpic fruits weighed slightly less than cross-pollinated ones, the cortexes of the emasculated fruits were enlarged and the fruits were not greatly inferior to those of cross-pollinated ones. By using a customized pear cDNA microarray, we compared the gene expression profiles of highly and weakly parthenocarpic cultivars before flowering. Expression of several phenylpropanoid-related genes and photosystem-related genes differed significantly between the two groups. Some of these genes were contained in the chloroplast genome. These results showed the unique mechanism of genetic parthenocarpy in pome fruits as opposed to non-pome fruits.

Solanum lycopersicum Transcriptome or Gene expression

Project description:To provide insights into how SUN regulates shape and whether this is accompanied with shifts in transcript profiles, we identified differentially expressed genes in eight pairwise comparisons of SUN and wild-type fruit tissues and time points. Lines nearly isogenic for SUN in the cultivated background Solanum lycopersicum c.v. SUN1642 were grown in the greenhouse in a completely randomized design. SA4 is like SUN1642 and SA3 is like WT LA1589 at SUN locus. Flowers at anthesis were tagged and self-pollinated on successive days. Anthesis is defined as when the flower opens. Pollination of flowers was staggered so fruit of all developmental stages would be harvested on the same day. Fruits at stage four, seven, and ten days post anthesis (dpa) were harvested and brought back to the laboratory. Septum, seed, and pericarp tissue were isolated and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Four dpa septum tissues is a mixture of septum and seed tissue. Four dpa pericarp is a mixture of pericarp and exocarp tissue due to small size of four dpa fruits. Seven and 10 dpa pericarp dont contain the exocarp (epidermal) tissues. Four replicates were collected. RNA was extracted using Trizol and Stand-specific libraries were prepared from total RNA and sequences of 51 bp were generated on an Illumina HiSeq2000.

Fruit setting rewires central metabolism via gibberellin cascades

Project description:Fruit set is the process whereby ovaries develop into fruits after pollination and fertilization. The process is induced by the phytohormone gibberellin (GA) in tomatoes, as determined by the constitutive GA response mutant procera However, the role of GA on the metabolic behavior in fruit-setting ovaries remains largely unknown. This study explored the biochemical mechanisms of fruit set using a network analysis of integrated transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, and enzyme activity data. Our results revealed that fruit set involves the activation of central carbon metabolism, with increased hexoses, hexose phosphates, and downstream metabolites, including intermediates and derivatives of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and associated organic and amino acids. The network analysis also identified the transcriptional hub gene SlHB15A, that coordinated metabolic activation. Furthermore, a kinetic model of sucrose metabolism predicted that the sucrose cycle had high activity levels in unpollinated ovaries, whereas it was shut down when sugars rapidly accumulated in vacuoles in fruit-setting ovaries, in a time-dependent manner via tonoplastic sugar carriers. Moreover, fruit set at least partly required the activity of fructokinase, which may pull fructose out of the vacuole, and this could feed the downstream pathways. Collectively, our results indicate that GA cascades enhance sink capacities, by up-regulating central metabolic enzyme capacities at both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. This leads to increased sucrose uptake and carbon fluxes for the production of the constituents of biomass and energy that are essential for rapid ovary growth during the initiation of fruit set.

Comprehensive transcriptomic dataset for early stage fruit development in woodland strawberry Fragaria vesca

Project description:Fragaria vesca, a diploid woodland strawberry with a small and sequenced genome, is an excellent model for studying fruit development. The strawberry fruit is unique in that the edible flesh is actually enlarged receptacle tissue. The true fruit are the numerous dry achenes dotting the receptacleM-^Rs surface. Auxin produced from the achene is essential for the receptacle fruit set, a paradigm for studying crosstalk between hormone signaling and development. To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying strawberry fruit set, next-generation sequencing was employed to profile early-stage fruit development with five fruit tissue types and five developmental stages from floral anthesis to enlarged fruits. This two-dimensional data set provides a systems-level view of molecular events with precise spatial and temporal resolution.

Transcription profiling of Capsicum fruit ripening process

Project description:Pepper fruits at four different developmental stages were collected: early fruit [EF; 1 cm long; 7 days after pollination (dap)], mature green fruit (MG; 6-7 cm length; 20 dap), breaking or turning red fruit (BR; fruit are partially red; 35 dap), and red ripe fruit (RR; fully red; 40 dap). Tomato fruits at corresponding developmental stages were also collected: EF (less than 1cm; 7 dap), MG (40 dap), BR (50 dap), and RR (55 dap). For the monitoring of fruit-specific and fruit ripening-related genes, we did array hybridization by using the leaves as a common reference and each corresponding fruit developmental stage sample.

Gene expression profiles in the peel and pericarp of pepper fruit

Project description:The quality of the pepper fruit is significantly influenced by the properties of its surface such as color, glossiness and texture. The fruit surface is composed of a peel containing several layers including the cuticle, epidermis and the hypodermis. The peel acts as a protective barrier against biotic and abiotic stresses and is the most critical tissue affecting water loss during post harvest storage. The peel is composed of an outer epidermis with thick waxy (lipid) cuticle and few cell layers of thick-walled hypodermal cells. Despite its agronomic importance and due to the fact that the majority of studies in fruits have been conducted using flesh and peel tissues as a whole, the biochemical and genetic bases of variation in peel properties are largely unknown. In this proposal we aim to determine peel-specific gene expression in pepper by micro array hybridizations of peel and flesh RNA extracted at different developmental stages of the fruit. The cultivar Celica (Capsicum annuum) that has a large blocky fruit will be used for studying gene expression in the peel and flesh. Plants were grown in the greenhouse during the spring of 2006. Fruits were harvested at three developmental stages: young- 10 days after anthesis, mature green- 30 days after anthesis and ripe red- 45 days after anthesis. These stages were chosen because each represents a distinct phase in fruit development. At each stage, a biological replicate consists of bulked tissue from 3 fruits from each of 3 plants (a total of 9 fruits). We have a total of 4 biological replicates. For each fruit, the peel was separated from the flesh by manual dissection using thin forceps and scalpel blade. Peel and flesh samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -800C until RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted using the GenElute Mammalian Total RNA Miniprep kit (Sigma).

Microarray analysis of developing fruits from transgenic lines with increased or reduced SlARF9 mRNA levels in tomato.

Project description:The transformation of the ovary into a fruit after successful completion of pollination and fertilization has been associated with many changes at transcriptomic level. These changes are part of a dynamic and complex regulatory network that is controlled by phytohormones, with a major role for auxin. One of the auxin-related genes differentially expressed upon fruit set and early tomato fruit development is Solanum lycopersicum ARF9 (SlARF9). To explore the physiological role of SlARF9 in tomato fruit set and development, we generated transgenic tomato lines in which the gene was overexpressed or silenced, and used microarray analysis to identify possible transcriptomic changes associated with the fruit developmental phenotypes observed in the transgenic lines. The transcript profiling analysis was done using pericarp tissue from fruits, 3-4mm in diameter, with each sample containing the pericarp of two fruits. For each seperate transgenic line, tissues were pooled from 2-3 plants (T2), resulting in a total of 6 samples for SlARF9-OE, 7 samples for SlARF9-RNAi, and 2 samples for wild type. The transcript profiling analysis was carried out using affymetrix EUTOM3 tomato exon array.

Solanum lycopersicum Transcriptome or Gene expression

Project description:Lines nearly isogenic for fw3.2 in the cultivated background Solanum lycopersicum c.v. Yellow Stuffer were grown in the greenhouse in a completely randomized design. fw3.2(ys) and fw3.2(wt) are NILs carrying cultivated and wild alleles for fw3.2 locus. Flowers were tagged a day before anthesis and self-pollinated at anthesis. Fruits at stage five, seven, and ten days post anthesis (dpa) were harvested. Pericarp and seed tissues were separately isolated. Four replicates were collected for each sample. RNA was extracted using Trizol and Stand-specific libraries were prepared from total RNA and sequences of 51 bp were generated on an Illumina HiSeq2000.
