EML histone readers prevent seed development without fertilization

ABSTRACT: EML1 and EML3 were previously shown to be histone readers involved in plant-pathogen interactions. To learn more about the developmental function of EML1 and EML3, we generated eml1 eml3 double mutant and showed that it had specific seed developmental phenotypes, including a capability to develop seed without fertilization. Next, we analyzed the mRNA expression of genes in the eml1 eml3 double mutant and compared it to its wild type. Differentially expressed (DE) genes in the mutant were identified and compared with DE of the mutants known to be involved in regulating seed development and in fertilization-independent endosperm development. Our results suggest that some targets are shared between EML histone readers and known regulators of seed development, such as MEA. Auxin response seems to be affected in both types of mutants. However, unlike MEA, EML proteins regulate auxin responsive genes not only in the endosperm, but also in the embryo. This capability makes EML proteins very good candidates for engineering apomictic seeds.

Transcriptome profile of Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type versus mea mutant ovary and seed at different developmental time points

Project description:merMEDEA (MEA) is a component of the Polycomb Repressive complex 2 (PRC2) of Arabidopsis thaliana, and a maternal imprinted gene that functions during central cell, embryo and endosperm development. Seeds that develop from mea mutant egg cells abort regardless of the paternal genotype. With this approach, we aim to uncover putative genes that are downstream of MEA and might cause the seed abortion phenotype. For this, we compare three developmental time point datasets between wild-type and mea mutant: ovary (before fertilization), and seed at 1-2 and 4 days after pollination (DAP).

Genome-wide EML1 binding sites in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings

Project description:To identify genomic targets involved in the EML-dependent control of seed development, we performed ChIP-chip using whole genome Arabidopsis tiling arrays from p35S::EML1-GFP seedlings using GFP antibodies. The analysis showed that EML1 displayed preferential binding to transposable elements (TEs), while showing no preference for protein coding genes.

MADS78 and MADS79 are essential regulators of early seed development in rice

Project description:MADS-box transcription factors (TFs) are subdivided into type-I and II based on phylogenetic analysis. The type II’s regulate floral organ identity and flowering time, but type I’s are relatively less characterized. Here, we report functional characterization of two type-I MADS-box TFs in rice (Oryza sativa), MADS78 and MADS79. Transcript abundance of both these genes in developing seed peaked at 48 hours after fertilization (HAF) and was suppressed by 96 HAF, corresponding to syncytial and cellularized stages of endosperm development, respectively. Seeds overexpressing (OE) MADS78 and 79 exhibited delayed endosperm cellularization, while CRISPR-Cas9 mediated single knock-out mutants showed precocious endosperm cellularization. MADS78 and 79 were indispensable for seed development, as a double knock-out mutant failed to make viable seeds. Both MADS78 and 79 interacted with MADS89, another type-I MADS-box, which enhances nuclear localization. The expression analysis of Fie1, a rice FERTILIZATION-INDEPENDENT SEED–polycomb repressor complex 2 (FIS-PRC2) component, in MADS78 and 79 mutants and vice versa established an antithetical relation, suggesting Fie1 could be involved in negative regulation of MADS78 and 79. Mis-regulation of MADS78 and 79 perturbed auxin homeostasis and carbon metabolism, as evident by mis-regulation of genes involved in auxin transport and signaling as well as starch biosynthesis genes causing structural abnormalities in starch granules at maturity. Collectively, we show MADS78 and 79 are essential regulators of early seed developmental transition and impact both seed size and quality in rice.

Auxin regulates endosperm cellularization in Arabidopsis

Project description:The endosperm is an ephemeral tissue that nourishes the developing embryo, similar to the placenta in mammals. In most angiosperms, endosperm development starts as a syncytium, in which nuclear divisions are not followed by cytokinesis. The timing of endosperm cellularization largely varies between species, and the event triggering this transition remains unknown. Here we show that increased auxin biosynthesis in the endosperm prevents its cellularization, leading to seed arrest. Auxin-overproducing seeds phenocopy paternal-excess triploid seeds derived from hybridizations of diploid maternal plants with tetraploid fathers. Concurrently, auxin-related genes are strongly overexpressed in triploid seeds, correlating with increased auxin activity. Reducing auxin biosynthesis and signaling reestablishes endosperm cellularization in triploid seeds and restores their viability, highlighting a causal role of increased auxin in preventing endosperm cellularization. We propose that auxin determines the time of endosperm cellularization, and thereby uncovered a central role of auxin in establishing hybridization barriers in plants.

The Arabidopsis mature endosperm promotes seedling cuticle formation via release of sulfated peptides

Project description:In Arabidopsis mature seeds, the onset of the embryo-to-seedling transition is nonautonomously controlled, being blocked by endospermic abscisic acid (ABA) release under unfavorable conditions. Mature embryos lack an impermeable cuticle, unlike seedlings, consistent with their endospermic ABA uptake capability. Seedling cuticle formation occurs after germination rather than during embryogenesis. Mature endosperm removal prevents seedling cuticle formation and seed reconstitution by endosperm grafting onto embryos shows that the endosperm promotes seedling cuticle development. Grafting different endosperm and embryo mutant combinations, together with biochemical, microscopy and mass spectrometry approaches, reveals that endospermic release of Tyrosyl Sulfate Transferase (TPST)-sulfated CIF2 and PSY1 peptides promotes seedling cuticle development. Endosperm-deprived embryos produced nonviable seedlings bearing numerous developmental defects, in a manner unrelated to embryo nourishment, all restored by exogenously provided endosperm. Hence, seedling establishment is nonautonomous, requiring the mature endosperm.

Parental conflict driven regulation of endosperm cellularization by a family of Auxin Response Factors

Project description:The endosperm is a reproductive tissue supporting embryo development. In most flowering plants, the initial divisions of endosperm nuclei are not succeeded by cellularization; this process occurs only after a specific number of mitotic cycles have taken place. The timing of cellularization significantly influences seed viability and size. Previous research implicated auxin as a key factor in initiating nuclear divisions and determining the timing of cellularization. Here we uncover the involvement of a family of clustered auxin response factors (cARFs) as dosage-sensitive regulators of endosperm cellularization. cARFs, maternally expressed and paternally silenced, are shown to induce cellularization, thereby restricting seed growth. Our findings align with the predictions of the parental conflict theory, suggesting that cARFs represent major molecular targets in this conflict. We further demonstrate a recurring amplification of cARFs in the Brassicaceae, suggesting an evolutionary response to parental conflict by reinforcing maternal control over endosperm cellularization. Our study highlights that antagonistic parental control on endosperm cellularization converges on auxin biosynthesis and signalling.

Zea mays Transcriptome or Gene expression

Project description:Maize (Zea mays) is an excellent cereal model for research on seed development because of its relatively large size for both embryo and endosperm. Despite the importance of seed in agriculture, the genome-wide transcriptome pattern throughout seed development has not been well characterized. Using high-throughput RNA sequencing, we developed a spatiotemporal transcriptome atlas of B73 maize seed development based on 53 samples from fertilization to maturity for embryo, endosperm, and whole seed tissues.

Methylation Changes in Soybean Mid-Maturation Seed Parts

Project description:Seeds are comprised of three majors parts of distinct parental origin: the seed coat, embryo, and endosperm. The maternally-derived seed coat is important for nurturing and protecting the seeds during development. By contrast, the embryo and the endosperm are derived from a double fertilization event, where one sperm fertilizes the egg to form the diploid zygote and the other sperm fertilizes the central cell to form the triploid endosperm. Each seed parts undergo distinct developmental programs during seed development. What methylation changes occurring in the different seed parts, if any, remains unknown. To uncover the possible role of DNA methylation in different parts of the seed, we characterized the methylome of three major parts of an early maturation stage seed: seed coat, embryonic cotyledons, and embryonic axis using Illumina sequencing.
