RNA-seq analysis of NIL-GAF1 and NIL-gaf1 grains of 15 DAF at filling stage

ABSTRACT: Favorable grain filling ability is crucial for seed development and plant yield1, with less fertilizer applying is the most urgent goals to meet the growing demands of green and safe food. However, the balance mechanism between grain filling and nutrient elements is still unclear so far. Here, we describe a gene GAF1, specially expressed in endosperm aleurone layer, encoding a phosphate transporter, positively controls rice grain filling and seed development and also contributes to phosphate balance was mapped in our study. To study the regulation pattern of GAF1, we performed the RNA-seq analysis of NIL-GAF1 and NIL-gaf1 at middle grain filling stage in seeds. The data shows that many pathways related to starch and sugar metabolism were enriched, and many starch synthesis related genes and phosphate response genes were up-regulated or down-regulated. These data further support that seed specific expressed GAF1 plays a key role in regulating both phosphate homeostasis and seed development. More importantly, overexpression of GAF1 can significantly improve grain filling and thus yield enhanced plant production in field.

Project description:Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is one of the major food sources for humans and forage source for animal livestock. Barley endosperm is structured into three distinct cell layers: the starchy endosperm, which acts essentially as storage tissue for starch, the subaleurone, which is characterized by a high accumulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived seed storage proteins (SSP) and finally the aleurone beside the seed coat with a prominent role during seed germination. Prolamins account for more than 50% of the total protein amount in mature seeds. Together with other seed storage proteins (SSPs) they are important for both grain quality and flour quality. Prolamins are synthesized on the rough ER, translocated into the ER lumen and accumulate in distinct, ER-derived protein bodies (PBs) that are most abundant in the SE. PB formation is regulated by the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) that is involved in the disulfide transfer pathway. Here, we used laser microdisection (LMD) to characterize spatio-temporal molecular and morphological differences of the ER during barley endosperm development. We revealed by nanoLC-MS/MS proteomic analyses performed on whole seeds and collected tissues at different seed development stages that the protein level of the protein disulfide isomerase HvPDIL1-1 is spatio-temporally regulated in developing barley endosperm. Our microscopic studies showed that HvPDIL1-1 preferentially accumulates in SE, especially at 12 days after pollination (dap). HvPDIL1-1 re-localized from PBs to the protein matrix at the periphery of starch granules along grain filling process. Detailed analysis of SE proteome dynamics identified clusters of proteins with similar expression pattern as HvPDIL1-1, which were analysed in a protein-protein network. It revealed a strong functional interconnection between transcription and translation, protein folding and amino acid synthesis with sucrose and starch metabolism. Our data indicate a role of HvPDIL1-1 in the coordination of protein synthesis and prolamins deposition during grain filling processes in developing barley endosperm. These results are discussed in relation to the putative role of HvPDIL1-1 for cereal food end-product quality and recombinant protein production in cereal seeds.
