The epidermis coordinates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway

ABSTRACT: In plants, an elevation in ambient temperature induces morphological changes including elongation hypocotyls, considered to be adaptive responses to alleviate the heat-induced damages. The high temperature-induced morphological changes are called thermomorphogenesis, which is predominantly regulated by a bHLH transcription factor PIF4. Although PIF4 is expressed in all aerial tissues including the epidermis, mesophyll, and vascular bundle, its tissue-specific functions in thermomorphogenesis are not known. Here, we found that epidermis-specific expression of PIF4 induced constitutive long hypocotyls, while vasculature-specific expression of PIF4 had no effect on hypocotyl growth. Consistently, RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR analyses revealed that auxin responsive genes and growth-related genes were highly activated by epidermal, but not by vascular, PIF4. The epidermal, but not vascular, inactivation of PIF4 by a PIF4 artificial microRNA or a dominant negative form of PIF4 suppressed thermoresponsive gene expression and hypocotyl growth. Additionally, both the block of epidermal auxin signaling and the epidermal overexpression of a thermosensor phytochrome B (phyB) inhibited thermoresponsive growth, indicating that epidermal PIF4-auxin pathway are essential for the temperature responses. We further show that epidermal PIF4 is increased by high temperatures mainly through the transcriptional activation of PIF4. Taken together, our study demonstrates that the epidermis regulates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway.

B-box family proteins BBX18 and BBX23 control thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis

Project description:Plants coordinate their growth and developmental programs with various endogenous signals and environmental challenges such as seasonal and diurnal temperature fluctuations. The bHLH transcription factor PIF4 plays critical roles in thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis, and the evening complex component ELF3 negatively regulates PIF4's activity for downstream gene expression and hypocotyl elongation at elevated temperature. However, how warm temperature signal is transmitted to ELF3 is not known. Here, we report the identification of two B-Box protein BBX18/BBX23 as new regulators of thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis. Mutations of BBX18/BBX23 confer reduced thermoresponsive hypocotyl elongation. Overexpression of BBX18 enhances the sensitivity of hypocotyl growth to elevated temperature, which is dependent on the function of PIF4 and RING E3 ligase COP1, respectively. Both BBX18 and BBX23 interact with ELF3 or COP1, relegating the protein abundance of ELF3 at warm temperature. Further, the expression of multiple thermoresponsive genes is impaired in both the PIF4 single mutant and BBX18/BBX23 double mutant. In addition, both the transcription and protein levels of BBX18/BBX23 are up-regulated by elevated ambient temperature. Thus, our findings reveal the important roles of B-Box proteins in plant thermomorphogenesis, and build a new connection from warm temperature information to ELF3 and its downstream signaling components.

Integrative phenotyping approaches to unmask the Phyb-PIF4 pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana reproductive organs at high ambient temperatures

Project description:The increasing ambient temperature significantly impacts plant growth, development, and reproduction. Uncovering the temperature-regulating mechanisms in plants is of high importance, not only for boosting our plant biology knowledge but also for assisting plant breeders in improving plant resilience to these stress conditions. Numerous studies on the molecular mechanisms by which plants regulate temperature responses revealed that plants employ distinct transcription factors to regulate thermomorphogenesis specific to each tissue type. A significant discovery in this field was the identification of PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs) as key regulators of thermomorphogenesis during vegetative growth. PIF4, a regulator of auxin-mediated signaling pathways, is crucial in controlling high-temperature responses. In this study, we screened the temperature responses of the wild type and several PhyB-PIF4 pathway Arabidopsis mutant lines in combined and integrative phenotyping platforms for root in soil, shoot, inflorescence, and seed. We demonstrated that high ambient temperature differentially impacts vegetative and reproductive organs through this pathway. Suppression of the PhyB-PIF4 components mimics the response to a high ambient temperature in wild-type plants. We also identified correlative responses to high ambient temperature between shoot and root tissues. This integrative and automated phenotyping was complemented by monitoring the changes in transcript levels in reproductive organs. Transcriptomic profiling of the pistils from plants grown under high ambient temperature identified key elements that may provide clues to the molecular mechanisms behind temperature-induced reduced fertilization rate, such as a downregulation of auxin metabolism, upregulation of genes involved auxin signalling, miRNA156 and miRN160 pathways, pollen tube attractants.

PIF4/HEMERA-mediated daytime thermosensory growth requires the Mediator subunit MED14

Project description:Warm ambient temperatures do not trigger stress responses in plants but stimulate the growth of specific organs. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4) plays a central role in regulating thermomorphogenetic hypocotyl elongation in various plant species, including the model dicotyledonous plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Although it is well known that PIF4 promotes plant thermosensory growth by activating key genes involved in the biosynthesis and signaling of the phytohormone auxin, the detailed molecular mechanism of such transcriptional activation is still not clear. Our previous studies demonstrated that HEMERA (HMR), a transcription co-activator of PIF4, promotes the thermo-induced expression of PIF4 target genes through the nine-amino-acid transactivation domain (9aaTAD) in its carboxy-terminus. In this report, we investigate the role of the Mediator complex in the PIF4/HMR-mediated thermoresponsive gene expression. Through the characterization of various mutants of the Mediator complex, a tail subunit named MED14 is identified as an essential factor for thermomorphogenetic hypocotyl growth. MED14 is required for the thermal induction of key PIF4 target genes but has a marginal effect on the levels of PIF4 and HMR. Further transcriptomic analyses confirm that the expression of numerous PIF4/HMR-dependent, auxin-related genes requires MED14 at a warm temperature. Moreover, PIF4 and HMR physically interact with MED14 and both are indispensable for the association of MED14 with the promoters of these thermoresponsive genes. Together, these results unveil an important thermomorphogenetic mechanism, in which PIF4 and its coactivator HMR recruit the Mediator complex to activate auxin-related growth-promoting genes when plants sense moderate increases in ambient temperature.

The novel chemical growth regulator ‘Heatin’ stimulates thermomorphogenesis by inhibiting the Arabidopsis thaliana NIT1-subfamily of nitrilases

Project description:Temperature passively affects many biological processes. It is therefore challenging to study dedicated temperature signalling pathways orchestrating plant thermomorphogenesis, a suite of elongation growth-based adaptations that enhance leaf cooling capacity. We screened a chemical library for compounds that restored abolished hypocotyl elongation in the pif4-2 deficient mutant background in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to identify novel regulators of thermomorphogenesis. The small aromatic compound ‘Heatin’, with 1-aminomethyl-2-naphthol as minimal active moiety, was isolated as potent enhancer of elongation growth. Following a chemical proteomics approach, the NITRILASE1-subfamily auxin biosynthesis enzymes were identified as molecular targets of Heatin. We show that Heatin inhibits NIT1-subfamily enzymatic activity and that accumulation of its substrate indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN) is sufficient for elongation growth in a NIT1-subfamily-dependent manner. Our work assigns a role for NITRILASE1-subfamily in mediating elongation growth. Moreover, Heatin and its functional analogues present novel chemical entities for understanding auxin biology.

The INO80 chromatin remodeling complex promotes thermomorphogenesis by connecting H2A.Z eviction and active transcription in Arabidopsis[ChIP-seq]

Project description:Global warming imposes a major threat to plant growth and crop production. In some plants including Arabidopsis thaliana, elevated temperatures induce a series of morphological and developmental adjustments, termed thermomorphogenesis to facilitate plant cooling under high-temperature conditions. Plant thermal response is suppressed by histone variant H2A.Z. At warm temperatures, H2A.Z is evicted from nucleosomes at thermo-responsive genes, resulting in their activation. However, the mechanisms that regulate H2A.Z eviction and subsequent transcription activation are largely unknown. Here, we show that the ino80 chromatin-remodeling complex (ino80-C) promotes thermomorphogenesis and activates the expression of thermo-responsive and auxin-related genes. ino80-C associates with PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4), a potent regulator in thermomorphogenesis, and mediates temperature-induced H2A.Z eviction at PIF4 targets. Moreover, ino80-C directly interacts with COMPASS-like and transcription elongation factors to promote active histone modification Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and RNA Polymerase II (RNA Pol II) elongation, leading to the thermal induction of transcription. Notably, transcription elongation factors are required for the eviction of H2A.Z at PIF4 targets, suggesting the cooperation of ino80-C and transcription elongation in H2A.Z removal. Our results demonstrate that the (PIF4)-(ino80-C)-(COMPASS-like)-(transcription elongator) module controls plant thermal response, and establish a link between H2A.Z eviction and active transcription.

MPK4 mediated phosphorylation of PIF4 controls thermosensing by regulation of H2A.Z deposition in Arabidopsis

Project description:Plants have the ability to perceive a slight upsurge in ambient temperature and respond by undergoing morphological changes, such as elongated hypocotyls and early flowering. The dynamic functioning of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR4 (PIF4) in thermomorphogenesis has been well established, although the regulatory pathway involved in thermosensing is not deciphered completely. In our study, we demonstrate that an increase in temperature from 22˚C to 28˚C induces the phosphorylation of PIF4 by MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE 4 (MPK4) which shows high expression and activation at 28˚C. Phosphorylated PIF4 represses the expression of ACTIN-RELATED PROTEIN 6 (ARP6) that is required for mediating histone variant H2A.Z deposition at its target gene loci. We demonstrate that variation of ARP6 expression in PIF4 phosphor -null and phosphor-mimetic seedlings affects hypocotyl growth and flowering at 22˚C and 28˚C. Further, we show that change in ARP6 expression affects H2A.Z deposition at the loci of genes involved in hypocotyl elongation using PIF4 phosphor -null and phosphor-mimetic seedlings. Interestingly, the expression of MPK4 is also controlled by H2A.Z deposition in temperature dependent manner. Taken together, our findings highlight the cumulative molecular interplay between MPK4, PIF4, and chromatin modification by ARP6-mediated H2A.Z deposition as a regulatory mechanism of thermosensing.

Auxin signaling in the epidermis regulates stem growth via interactions with the brassinosteroid pathway

Project description:Growth of a complex multicellular organism requires coordinated changes in diverse cell types. These cellular changes generate organs of the correct size, shape and functionality. During plant development, the growth hormone auxin induces stem elongation; however, which cell types of the stem perceive the auxin signal and contribute to organ growth is poorly understood. Here, we show that auxin signalling is required in many cell types for correct hypocotyl stem growth, with a key role for the epidermis. Combining genetic manipulations in Arabidopsis thaliana with transcriptional profiling of the hypocotyl epidermis from Brassica rapa, we show that auxin functions in the epidermis in part by inducing activity of the locally-acting, growth-promoting brassinosteroid pathway. Our findings clarify cell-specific auxin function in the hypocotyl, and highlight the complexity of cell-type interactions within a growing organ. We performed whole-genome transcriptome (mRNA-Seq) on 5 d-old W light-grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants (CER6pro>>axr3-1::mCit experimental plants and UAS::axr3-1::mCit hemizygous control plants; whole-seedling tissue) treated for 4 h W light or low R:FR shade. In addition, we performed mRNA-Seq on 4 d-old Brassica rapa plants (FPsc strain) treated for 9 h W light or shade. Brassica tissues collected were hypocotyl epidermal peels or whole hypocotyls.

Expression data from epidermis specific phytochrome B or global phytochrome B line comparing to phyB-9 mutant.

Project description:Seedling hypocotyls display negative gravitropism in the dark but agravitropism in the light. The Arabidopsis thaliana pif quadruple mutant (pifQ), which lacks four PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORS (PIFs), is agravitropic in the dark. Endodermis-specific expression of PIF1 rescues gravitropism in pifQ mutant seedlings. Since phytochromes induce light responses by inhibiting PIFs and the COP1-SPA ubiquitin E3 ligase complex in the nucleus, we asked whether phyB can cell autonomously inhibit hypocotyl negative gravitropism in the endodermis. We found that while epidermis-specific expression of PHYB rescues hypocotyl negative gravitropism and all other phyB mutant phenotypes, endodermis-specific expression of PHYB does not. Epidermal phyB induces the phosphorylation and degradation of endodermal PIFs in response to red light. This induces a global gene expression pattern similar to that induced by red light treatment of seedlings expressing PHYB under the control of its own endogenous promoter. Our results imply that epidermal phyB generates an unidentified mobile signal that travels to the endodermis where it promotes PIF degradation and inhibits hypocotyl negative gravitropism.
