Project description:Transcriptional profiling of developing rice endosperm at seven days after flowering comparing aleurone layers with central starchy endosperm. Cereal productivity is dependent on the accumulation of storage compounds in the endosperm, a nutritive tissue that is composed of aleurone cells in the outermost regions and starchy endosperm in the inner region. The transcriptional analyses provides clues to the molecular basis for different metabolic pathways in response to the spatial and nutritional differences between rice aleurone cells and starchy endosperm.

Project description:This reports the transcript profiling of the aleurone and starchy endosperm layers of wheat seed over 3 time points critical in the development of the aleurone layer. Wheat is a critical food source globally. The aleurone layer develops from the starchy endosperm and is a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals, essential for the germination of the plant embryo. However the molecular mechanisms behind the development of this layer remain poorly understood. Here we present the first direct systematic comparison of the transcriptomes of the aleurone and starchy endosperm tissues of the wheat seed (Triticum aestivum) at time points critical to the development of the aleurone layer of 6, 9 and 14 days post anthesis. Gene expression patterns reflect the changing role of these tissues in seed development. Illumina sequencing gave 25 to 55 million sequence reads per tissue, of the trimmed reads, 70 – 81% mapped to reference expressed sequence transcripts. To quantify transcript abundance, RNA-Seq normalisation was performed to generate RPKM values, these were used in comparative analyses between the tissues at each time point using Kals Z-test. Sequences with significantly different RPKM values were categorised on the basis of tissue and time point expression and functionally annotated using standardised gene ontology vocabularies, revealing two very distinct tissues. In conclusion we show the relationships between and the fundamental biological reprogramming of the two major biologically and economically significant tissues of the wheat seed over time. Understanding these changes in gene expression profiles is essential to mining the potential these tissues hold for human nutrition and contributing to foundational and systems biology of this important crop.

Project description:The cereal endosperm consists of starchy endosperm (ST) cells, which accumulate storage proteins and starch, the peripheral aleurone (AL) cells, which mobilize these storage compounds during germination, and transfer cells in contact with the maternal vascular tissues, and the embryo-surrounding region. We conducted RNA-sequencing and analyzed transcript profiles of AL and ST tissues at 18 and 22 days after pollination (DAP), when storage compounds such as proteins, starch, triacylglycerols, specialized metabolites, and minerals are actively synthesized in the maize endosperm. We combined published RNA-seq datasets from other kernel tissues at different developmental stages to analyze gene expression connected to synthesis and accumulation of storage compounds and metabolites. Using weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), we identified gene modules associated with metabolic pathways related to nutritional properties of the maize endosperm. We also provide information of novel marker genes specifically expressed in AL and ST, at either early or late developmental stages. This study is important for understanding maize endosperm development and for developing strategies to improve nutritional quality of maize kernels.

Project description:Heat stress occurrence during endosperm development and seed filling forms chalky portion in the limited zone of starchy endosperm of rice grains. In this study, isolation of aleurone, dorsal, central and lateral tissues of developing endosperm by laser-microdissection (LM) coupled with gene expression analysis of 44K microarray was performed to identify key regulatory genes involved in the formation of milky-white (MW) and white-back (WB) chalky grains during heat stress. Gene regulatory network analysis classified the genes changed under heat stress into five modules. the modules of genes changed in developing starchy endosperm corresponding to MW and WB portion under heat stress suggested different regulatory genes involved in each type of grain chalk. The most distinct expression pattern was observed in a M1 and M2 modules where most of the small heat shock proteins and cellular organisation genes being upregulated under heat stress in dorsal aleurone cells and dorsal starchy endosperm zones The histological observation supported the significant increase in cell number and size of dorsal aleurone cells in WB grains. With regard to the central zone of starchy endosperm, preferential downregulation of high molecular weight heat shock proteins (HMW HSPs) including a prominent member encoding for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones by heat stress were observed, while expression of starch-biosynthesis genes remained unaffected. Characterization of transgenic plants supressing endosperm lumenal binding protein (BiP1), an ER chaperone preferentially downregulated at MW portion under heat stress, showed an evidence of forming the chalky grains without disturbing the expression of starch-biosynthesis genes. The present LM-based comprehensive expression analyses provides novel inferences that HMW HSPs play important role in controlling the redox, nitrogen and amino aicd metabolism in endosperm leading to the formation of MW and WB chalky grains.Keywords ; developing endosperm, gene expression, grain chalkiness, heat stress, laser-microdissection, Oryza sativa.

Project description:The phytohormone gibberellic acid (GA) is well known to promote seed germination in plants. One of its functions is to stimulate the production of hydrolytic enzymes in the aleurone and their secretion to the adjacent endosperm. The storage in the endosperm is thus degraded by these hydrolases into small molecules, which are utilized as nutrients for embryo growth to establish the young seedling. ABA in contrast plays antagonistic role to GA to keep seed in dormancy. Cereal aleurone has been established as a model system to investigate giberrellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) responses. Using Barley 1 GeneChip, we examined the mRNA accumulation of over 22 000 genes in barley aleurone treated with GA, ABA, GA plus ABA, and sln1 mutant. Barley aleurone tissues were separated from half-seed without embryo. Three independent RNA samples for each treatment including the control without any hormone were extracted and hybridized onto Affymetrix microarrays. We also did microarray in three replications for sln1 mutant aleurone without hormone treatment.

Project description:The objective of the current study is to unravel the gene regulatory networks controlled by the nkd genes during maize endosperm development. We compared wild type (B73) vs. nkd mutant (introgressed into B73 background) transcriptomes in aleurone vs. starchy endosperm cell types captured by laser capture microdissection technology. We performed RNA seq analysis of mid-mature (15DAP) endosperm in two cell types [aleurone (A) and starchy endosperm (S)] of wild type B73 (B) and nkd mutant (N) kernels with three independent biological replicates.
