A Lignin Molecular Brace Controls Precision Processing of Cell Wall Critical for Surface Integrity in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: The cell wall is a defining feature of plant cells and glues cells to each other. To overcome this physical constraint, plants must process and disconnect cell wall linkages during growth and development. However, little is known about the mechanism guiding cell-cell detachment and cell wall remodeling. Here, we identify two neighboring cell types in Arabidopsis that coordinate their activities to control cell wall processing, thereby ensuring precise abscission to discard organs. One cell type produces a honeycomb structure of lignin, which acts as a mechanical ‘brace’ to localize cell wall breakdown and spatially limit abscising cells. The second cell type undergoes transdifferentiation into epidermal cells, forming protective cuticle, demonstrating de novo specification of epidermal cells, previously thought to be restricted to embryogenesis. Loss of the lignin brace leads to inadequate cuticle formation, resulting in surface barrier defects and susceptible to infection. Altogether, we show how plants precisely accomplish abscission.

A single RRM domain-containing protein SARP1 is required for the separation zone establishment in Arabidopsis

Project description:Abscission is a developmental process that sheds organs in response to developmental and environmental cues. Abscission involves cell separation between two neighboring cell types in the abscission zone (AZ), residuum cells (RECs) and secession cells (SECs). However, the regulatory mechanisms for spatial determination governing cell separation are poorly understood. BREVIPEDICELLUS (BP) is one of the key transcription factors regulating the AZ cell size and number. To identify molecular components of abscission, we performed a genetic screen using a weak complementation line of bp-3 carrying activation T-DNA tagging. We identified an ebp1 (enhancer of bp1) mutant displaying delayed floral organ abscission. The ebp1 mutants show concaved surface in SECs and abnormally stacked cells on the top of RECs, in contrast to the precisely separated surface in WT. Molecular and histological analyses revealed that the transcriptional programming during cell differentiation in the AZ is compromised in the ebp1 mutant, where SECs of the ebp1 mutant appear to acquire REC-like activities, including cuticle formation and superoxide production. Here we present that SEPARATION AFFECTING RNA-BINDING PROTEIN1 (SARP1) is up-regulated in ebp1 and plays a role in the establishment of the cell separation layer during floral organ abscission in Arabidopsis.

INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION (IDA) and its receptors HAE/HSL2 are required for cell expansion and cell separation during floral organ abscission in Arabidopsis thaliana (part 2)

Project description:Plants have the ability to shed organs that are no longer in use. In Arabidopsis thaliana abscission of floral organs involves cell wall remodeling and cell expansion prior to cell wall dissolution. IDA encodes a secreted peptide that signals through the leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) HAESA (HAE) (At4g28490) and HASEA-LIKE2 (HSL2) (At5g65710). Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Colombia-0) plants were kept in growth chambers with a 16/8 h (light/dark) photoperiod at 22 M-BM-0C, and 100 mE m-2 s-1 light intensity. 4 biological replicates were prepared from each sample, each containing abscission zone regions of siliques position 4 to 8 (when counting from the flowe at anthesis at the top of the inflorescence) from plants with at least 20 siliques. Differences in transcriptional responses were measured by comparing genes expression in abscission zones of ida-2 plants (SALK_133209) against abscission zones from control plants.

Apple russeting as seen through the RNA-seq lens: strong alterations in the exocarp cell wall

Project description:Russeting is a commercially important defect in apple (Malus x domestica) fruit production. Apple russeting is mainly characterized by the accumulation of suberin on the inner part of the cell wall. However, knowledge on the underlying genetic components triggering this trait remains sketchy. A bulk transcriptomic profiling was performed on the exocarps of three russeted and three waxy apple varieties using RNA sequencing. This experimental design was chosen to lower the specificities of each genotype. A qPCR validation was carried out on representative genes and additional contrasting varieties. Gene ontology enrichment revealed a repression of the lignin and cuticle biosynthesis genes in the russeted exocarps, concomitantly with an enhanced expression of suberin deposition, stress responsive, primary sensing, NAC and MYB-family transcription factors, and specific triterpene biosynthetic genes. Notably, a strong correlation (R2=0.976) between the expression of a MYB93-like transcription factor and key suberin biosynthetic genes was found. Our results suggest that russeting is induced by a decreased expression of the cuticle layer biosynthetic genes, leading to a stress response which not only affects suberin deposition, but also the entire structure of the cell wall. In addition, the large number of candidate genes highlighted in this study provides a solid platform for further functional investigations.

Transcription profiling of maize n during infection with Ustilago maydis strain SG200Dpep1

Project description:The basidiomycete Ustilago maydis causes smut disease in maize. Colonization of the host plant is initiated by direct penetration of cuticle and cell wall of maize epidermis cells. The invading hyphae are surrounded by the plant plasma membrane and proliferate within the plant tissue. We identified a novel secreted protein, termed Pep1. Disruption mutants of pep1 are not affected in saprophytic growth and develop normal infection structures. However, Îpep1 mutants fail to penetrate the epidermal cell wall and elicit a strong plant defense response. Using Affymetrix maize arrays we identified about 110 plant genes which are differentially regulated in Îpep1 and wild type infections during the penetration stage. Experiment Overall Design: In three independent experiments plants were infected with the strain SG200Dpep1 which is derived from the solopathogenic U. maydis strain SG200. Samples from infected leaves were taken at 24 hours post infection. Samples were treated under the same conditions as described previosly (Doehlemann et al. (2008) Plant J, in press).

Microarray analysis of the self-pruning related transcriptome in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) spring shoots

Project description:Transcriptome changes were also examined at three stages of SAM self-pruning utilizing microarray. Combining results from different stages, 1,573 differentially expressed genes were identified; the extensive repertoire of genes associated with programmed cell death, cell wall biosynthesis and metabolism strongly suggests that abscission layers activate both catabolic and anabolic wall modification pathways during self-pruning process.

Transcript profiling of ptMYB1 and ptMYB8 overexpressing White spruce plantlets

Project description:The involvement of two R2R3-MYB genes from Pinus taeda L., PtMYB1 and PtMYB8, in phenylpropanoid metabolism and secondary cell wall biogenesis was investigated in planta. These pine MYBs were constitutively overexpressed (OE) in Picea glauca (Moench) Voss, used as a heterologous conifer expression system. Morphological, histological, chemical (lignin and soluble phenols), and transcriptional analyses, i.e. microarray and reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) were used for extensive phenotyping of MYB-overexpressing spruce plantlets. Upon germination of somatic embryos, root growth was reduced in both transgenics. Enhanced lignin deposition was also a common feature but ectopic secondary cell wall deposition was more strongly associated with PtMYB8-OE. Microarray and RT-qPCR data showed that overexpression of each MYB led to an overlapping up-regulation of many genes encoding phenylpropanoid enzymes involved in lignin monomer synthesis, while misregulation of several cell wall-related genes and other MYB transcription factors was specifically associated with PtMYB8-OE. Together, the results suggest that MYB1 and MYB8 may be part of a conserved transcriptional network involved in secondary cell wall deposition in conifers.
