Project description:To gain insight into the auxin-dependent network during flower initiation, we used complementary RNAseq-based genomic analyses to obtain a global vision of the auxin-regulated gene network in the SAM before progressively converging on the identification of a high-confidence core network acting during the early phases of flower initiation.

Project description:The APETALA2 (AP2) transcription factor regulates flower development, floral transition and shoot apical meristem (SAM) maintenance in Arabidopsis. AP2 is also regulated at the post-transcriptional level by microRNA172 (miR172), but the contribution of this to SAM maintenance is poorly understood. We generated transgenic plants carrying a form of AP2 that is resistant to miR172 (rAP2) or carrying a wild-type AP2 susceptible to miR172. Phenotypic and genetic analyses were performed on these lines and mir172 mutants to study the role of AP2 regulation by miR172 on meristem size and the rate of flower production. We found that rAP2 enlarges the inflorescence meristem by increasing cell size and cell number. Misexpression of rAP2 from heterologous promoters showed that AP2 acts in the central zone (CZ) and organizing center (OC) to increase SAM size. Furthermore, we found that AP2 is negatively regulated by AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 3 (ARF3). However, genetic analyses indicated that ARF3 also influences SAM size and flower production rate independently of AP2. The study identifies miR172/AP2 as a regulatory module controlling inflorescence meristem size and suggests that transcriptional regulation of AP2 by ARF3 fine tunes SAM size determination.

Project description:The MADS-domain transcription factor APETALA1 (AP1) is a key regulator of Arabidopsis flower development. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying AP1 function, we identified its target genes during floral initiation using a combination of gene expression profiling and genome-wide binding studies. Many of its targets encode transcriptional regulators, including known floral repressors. The latter genes are down-regulated by AP1, suggesting that it initiates floral development by abrogating the inhibitory effects of these genes. While AP1 acts predominantly as a transcriptional repressor during the earliest stages of flower development, regulatory genes known to be required for floral organ formation were found to be activated by AP1 at more advanced stages, indicating a dynamic mode of action. Our results further imply that AP1 orchestrates floral initiation by integrating growth, patterning and hormonal pathways.

Project description:The transition to flowering is characterized by a shift of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) from leaf production to the initiation of a floral meristem. In this study, we addressed the nature of SAM gene networks involved in the early floral initiation process in the crop legume soybean. Unique aspects (such as pod development and nitrogen fixation) of legume development make them appealing for plant development studies. Soybean, a major oilseed crop, possesses varied maturity groups; hence, understanding and unravelling initial transition control has implications in manipulating crop yield. To this end, we performed global gene expression analysis using Affymetrix® soybean GeneChip® with RNA isolated from micro-dissected soybean SAMs at various time points after plants were shifted from long-day to short-day growth conditions. Analysis of the resulting microarray data revealed a total of 331 transcripts that have differential expression profiles. Intriguingly, about 20% of the transcripts affected by the switch in the development program have orthologs reported to be responsive to abscisic acid (ABA), suggesting an increase in ABA levels in the SAM during this developmental change. A subsequent immunoassay verified this, thereby implicating its possible function as an endogenous signal during the floral evocation process. The striking occurrence of abiotic stress-related transcripts, including trehalose metabolism genes, in SAMs during the early transition to floral meristems points to an overlap of abiotic stress and floral signalling pathways in soybean. In addition, other hormones - auxin, jasmonic acid and brassinosteroids - and a number of candidate protein kinases may also act in the signalling process prior to or concurrently with the induction of the putative floral homeiotic transcripts. This indicates that molecular events mediated by multiple hormonal pathways are part of the mechanism employed by soybean to regulate the floral transition process.

We used the AP1-GR system to conduct chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments with AP1-specific antibodies followed by deep-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) in order to determine AP1 binding sites on a genome-wide scale. Samples were generated from tissue in which the AP1-GR protein was induced for 2h using a single treatment of 1 uM DEX to the shoot apex. As control, we performed ChIP experiments using the same antibody on uninduced tissue. Experiments were done in two biological replicates.

Project description:affy_floralangers_rose - affy_floral_rose - - Which genes are induced during floral initiation? - Are the genes involved in floral initiation identical between our 3 genotypes? - Which genes are involved in the control of recurrent blooming in rose? - Which genes are diferentially expressed between buds that will become floral and buds that will remain vegetative?-This project aims to find in rose genes involved in flowering control (floral initiation and recurrent flowering). First, the floral initiation will be observed in 3 genotypes. Then we will check if same genes are regulated within genotypes for this process. Concerning recurrent blooming, we will compare flower bud versus vegetative buds in non-recurrent conditions and finally bud from non-recurrent and recurrent genotypes. Keywords: time course

Project description:Photoperiodic floral initiation in the leaf is controlled by the hub gene CONSTANS (CO) while jasmonates (JAs) control flower senescence. Although both processes are chronologically ordered, no association between them has been described to date. We show that CO protein remains in Arabidopsis flowers after the floral induction, although displaying a different tissue and diurnal pattern than in leaves. We found that changes in CO expression alter flower senescence and abscission by interfering with the JA response, supported by petal specific analysis as well as CO overexpression in JA synthesis and signaling mutants. CO has a ZIM-like domain that mediates interaction with the JA response repressor JAZ3 (jasmonate ZIM-domain 3), inhibiting its repressor activity and activating downstream transcription factors involved in flower senescence. The complex CO-JAZ3 also interacts with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Coronatine Insensitive 1 (COI1) leading to its degradation in the presence of jasmonates. Therefore, the coordinated recruitment of photoperiodic and jasmonate signaling pathways would be an efficient way for plants to chronologically order the floral process and ensure the success of offspring production.

Project description:The plant signaling molecule auxin triggers both fast and slow cellular responses across the plant lineage, including both land plants and algae. We discovered an ultra-fast proteome-wide phosphorylation response to auxin across 5 land plant and algal species, converging on a core group of shared target proteins. We find conserved rapid physiological responses to auxin in the same species and identified a RAF-like protein kinase as a central mediator of auxin-triggered phosphorylation across species.
