MRNA transcription profile of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in response to explant cutting

ABSTRACT: The explant is likely the most essential parameter of plant tissue culture. The vast majority of tissue culture studies have focused almost exclusively on the use of explants as a tool for organogenesis or propagation, and there is limited information that documents the changes that occur in an explant in response to cutting during explant preparation just prior to culture. To better understand the molecular changes occurring during the wounding process that accompanies the preparation of an explant, this study examined the mRNA transcription profile of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Desirée) single-node segments. To achieve this, RNA-seq analysis was performed to identify significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that existed between uncut in vitro plantlets and cut explants. DEGs were connected to cellular processes in the extracellular region, nucleus, and plasma membrane, and were associated with biosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism and catabolism, cellular protein modification, growth and development, and response to stress. These results provide a novel perspective of the changes taking place within explants when they are cut and serve as a valuable basis for the study of explant-related stress in plant tissue culture in other plant species, and may provide an understanding of the success or failure of the tissue culture protocol and subsequent establishment of in vitro cultures.

Project description:The goal of this study is to investigate the molecular mechanism of lhx1 on regulation of pronephros formation during the early embryonic development. In the vertebrate embryo the kidney is derived from the intermediate mesoderm. The LIM-class homeobox transcription factor lhx1 is expressed early in the intermediate mesoderm and is one of the first genes to be expressed in the nephric mesenchyme. The animal cap cells can be induced by treatment of activin and retinoic acid to differentiate into pronephros tissue. In this study we investigated the role of Lhx1 in differentiation of pronephros by depleting lhx1 in the organ culture system. We generated the gene expression profile of early pronephros tissue, and demonstrated that expression of genes from all the kidney domains is affected by the absence of lhx1. Taken together our results highlight an essential role for Lhx1 in pronephros formation. lhx1 is involved in driving specification of intermediate mesoderm into nephrogenic mesenchyme. Lhx1 is initially expressed throughout the entire intermediate mesoderm. To determine the role of lhx1 pronephros formation, we performed a microarray analysis using an explant culture system. Xenopus tissue explants can be surgically isolated and cultured under specific conditions to be driven towards many distinct tissue types. Formation of pronephric cell fates is induced by culturing isolated explants in the presence of Activin and RA (AcRA). Treatment of dissected explants of stage 9 blastulae embryos with 10ng/ml Activin and 1x10-4 M retinoic acid can induce differentiation of the pluripotent ectoderm into pan-kidney tissue. For this experiment, both blastomeres of 2-cell embryos were injected with a total of 800pg lhx1 DEED-AS. Explants were dissected and treated with AcRA and expression of pax8 at stage 15 (based on timing of paired control whole embryos) was analyzed. We observed a lack of induction of pax8 expression in lhx1-depleted explants under AcRA treatment conditions in which expression of this gene is normally induced. Based on this observation, microarray analysis was carried out to identify genes whose expression is affected by the absence of lhx1. Explants of injected embryos with 800pg of lhx1 DEED-AS were dissected, treated with pronephric tissue inductive conditions (AcRA) and harvested after 24 hours incubation at 14C (Fig. S5B). The sibling control embryos reached stage 12.5. Explants from uninjected embryos +AcRA and -AcRA as well as explants from DEED injected embryos -AcRA were also harvested. Approximately 12 caps were pooled for each RNA preparation and the analysis was performed using triplicates.
