Gibberellins regulate ovule number through a DELLA-CUC2 complex in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: Ovule development is a key process for plant reproduction that ensures correct seed production. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that control ovule formation will also provide new approaches to increase crop yield for breeding. Several molecular factors and plant hormones, including gibberellins, are involved in ovule initiation and development. Gibberellins control ovule development by the destabilization of DELLA proteins, whereas DELLA activity has been proved to act as a positive factor for ovule primordia emergence. But the molecular mechanism by which DELLA act remained unknown. Here we have proved that DELLA proteins control ovule initiation by the formation of a protein complex with the CUC2 transcription factor. The DELLA protein GAI requires CUC2 to promote ovule primordia formation, thus GAI would function by its direct protein-protein interaction with CUC2 in cells of the placenta that determine the boundary regions between ovules during pistil development. Analysis of GAI-CUC2 interaction and colocalization in placenta support this hypothesis. Moreover, molecular analysis of the loci at which GAI protein may act as transcriptional co-regulators in a CUC2-dependent manner identified a subset of target genes that would be regulated by the GAI-CUC2 complex and contribute to regulate ovule primordia emergence.

Identification of early target genes of the DELLA protein GAI in etiolated seedlings

Project description:The hormones gibberellins (GA) control many aspects of plant growth and development thruough the whole life cycle of the plant. For instance, GA participate in the establishment of the skotomorphogenic developmental program that is triggered when seeds germinate in darkness, i.e. under the soil. Under these conditions seedlings appear etiolated and developmental features usually triggered by light are kept repressed. The GA signaling elements GAI and RGA have a major, partially redundant role in this process. These proteins belong to the DELLA family of transcriptional regulators and are destabilized by GA, acting as negative regulators of the pathway. In order to understand the molecular basis of the regulation of the skotomorphogenesis by GA, we sought to identify early target genes of the activity of GAI in etiolated seedlings. For that purpose we analyzed rapid, global changes in gene expression in response to a transient accummulation of a dominant version of GAI, gai-1, which is resistant to GA-induced destabilization. Experiments were performed using wild type Col-0 and the transgenic line HS:gai-1 that expresses the dominant version gai-1 under the control of the promoter of the HSP18.2 gene, which is highly and rapidly induced at 37ºC. Three biological repeats were performed, and wild type and transgenic samples were labelled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively. For each point in the time course (0, 1, 2 and 4h after a 30 minute treatment at 37ºC), a sample from the transgenic line was compared to the corresponding wild type control.

RNA-Seq Analysis of Wild Type and pSTK::amiRNACWIN24 (4-3) Transcriptomes

Project description:Ovule formation is essential for realizing crop yield as it determines seed number. The underlying molecular mechanism, however, remains elusive. Here, we show that cell wall invertase (CWIN) functions as a positive regulator of ovule initiation in Arabidopsis. In situ hybridization revealed that CWIN2 and CWIN4 were expressed at the placenta region where ovule primordia initiated. Specific silencing of CWIN2 and 4 by using targeted artificial microRNA driven by an ovule-specific SEEDSTICK promoter (pSTK) resulted in a significant reduction of CWIN transcript and activity, which blocked ovule initiation and aggravated ovule abortion. Surprisingly, there was no induction of carbon starvation genes in the transgenic lines and supplement of extra carbon to newly forming floral buds failed to recover the ovule phenotype. The findings indicate that suppression of CWIN did not lead to carbon starvation. Interestingly, a group of hexose transporters was downregulated in the transgenic plants and two representative transporter genes, STP9 and SWEET8 were spatially co-expressed with CWIN2 and CWIN4, suggesting a coupling between CWIN and hexose transporters for ovule initiation. RNA-Seq analysis identified differentially expressed genes encoding putative extracellular receptor-like-kinases (RLKs), MADS-box transcription factors including STK and early auxin response genes, SAURs, in response to CWIN-silencing. Collectively, our data demonstrate the essential role that CWIN plays in ovule initiation likely through sugar signalling instead of carbon nutrient contribution. We propose that CWIN-mediated sugar signalling may be perceived by, and transmitted through, hexose transporters or RLKs to regulate ovule formation by modulating downstream auxin signalling and MADS-box transcription factors.

Project description:Define the regulatory network involved in leaf development 3-weeks old plants grown in short condition from each genotype (cuc2-3, WT and CUC2gm-4 lines) were dissected and meristem tissue and young leaf primordia were collected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA were extracted using miRVANA kit following manufacturers instructions. 3 biological repeats were performed for each genotype.

RGA binding sites in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings

Project description:DELLA proteins act as hubs that relay environmental information to the multiple transcriptional circuits that control growth and development through physical interaction with transcription factors from different families. We have analyzed the presence of one DELLA protein at the Arabidopsis genome by chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to large-scale sequencing and we find that it binds at the promoters of multiple genes. Enrichment analysis shows a strong preference for cis elements recognized by specific transcription factor families. In particular, we demonstrate that DELLA proteins are recruited by type-B ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATORS (ARR) to the promoters of cytokinin-regulated genes, where they act as transcriptional co-activators. The biological relevance of this mechanism is underpinned by the necessity of simultaneous presence of DELLAs and ARRs to restrict root meristem growth and to promote photomorphogenesis.

Transcriptomic analysis of regulatory gene expression profiles by DELLA and LEC1 during embryo development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:To understand how GA functions in regulating embryo development, a genome-wide transcriptomic analysis was carried out using 9DAF seeds dissected from siliques of dellaq (rga28 gai rgl1 rgl2) and the wild-type (col-0-2) grown in full-spectrum white fluorescent light at 22°C under long day conditions (16 h light/8 h dark). Then we found that GA regulates embryo development via DELLA-LEC1interaction, a subsequent genome-wide transcriptomic analysis was carried out using 9DAF seeds dissected from siliques of lec1-4 and the wild-type (col-0-1) in the same growth condition. Basing on the criteria of 1.5-fold cutoff for the genes with 5% false discovery rate, we first identified the differentially expressed genes in dellaq vs col-0-2, lec1-4 vs Col-0-1 subsets, which are referred to as DELLA and LEC1 regulated genes. These data reveal that DELLAs and LEC1 co-target a set of common genes in late embryogenesis, strongly supporting the role of DELLA-LEC1 in embryo development.
