Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of apple seeds

ABSTRACT: Apple seeds were subjected to accelerated aging. After 7, 14, and 21 days of aging, embryos were isolated. Part of the embryos were shortly fumigated with nitric oxide (NO). After 48 h of embryos culture (aged embryos or aged embryos treated with NO), embryonic axes were used to extract the total RNA. RT-qPCR were done to analyze the changes in the expression of genes related to seed aging. Short-term (3 h) treatment of embryos isolated from accelerated aged apple seeds (Malus domestica Borkh.) with NO partially reduced the effects of aging. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of the short-term NO treatment of embryos isolated from apple seeds subjected to accelerated aging on the expression of genes potentially linked to the regulation of seed aging. Apple seeds were artificially aged for 7, 14, or 21 days. Then the embryos were isolated from the seeds, treated with NO, and cultured for 48 h. Progression of seeds aging was associated with the decreased transcript levels of most of the analyzed genes (Lea1, Lea2a, Lea4, Hsp70b, Hsp20a, Hsp20b, ClpB1, ClpB4, Cpn60a, Cpn60b, Raptor, and Saur). The role of NO in the mitigation of seed aging depended on the duration of the aging. After 7 and 14 days of seed aging, a decreased expression of genes potentially associated with the promotion of aging (Tor, Raptor, Saur) was noted. NO-dependent regulation of seed aging was associated with the stimulation of the expression of genes encoding chaperones and proteins involved in the repair of damaged proteins. After NO application, the greatest upregulation of ClpB, Pimt was noted in the embryos isolated from seeds subjected to 7-day long accelerated aging, Hsp70b, Hsp70c, Cpn in the embryos of seeds aged for 14 days, and Lea2a in the embryos of seeds after 21 days of aging.

Project description:affy_rice_2012_01 - ivt - One of the key questions for future agriculture will be to save agronomical relevant biodiversity. To do so, it is important to select the best crop cultivars that will germinate efficiently (good seed vigor) and for a long period of time (good seed longevity). Surprisingly, while mankind rely heavily on cereals, very few studies have identified genes positively related to cereal seed vigor and longevity. To close this scientific gap, we aimed to identify genes positively involved in rice seed vigor and longevity. We thus used a “controlled deterioration treatment (Tesnier et al., 2002) to mimic natural seed ageing. Seeds are first equilibrated at 25°C and 85% relative hygrometry during three days. Then, during 15 days, three different batch of seeds are either (i) kept at 25°C and 85% RH (control seeds), (ii) placed at 40°C and 85% RH (loss of seed vigor) or (iii) placed at 45°C and 85% RH (loss of germination capacity). Finally, seeds are equilibrated at 25°C and 32% RH during three days. Using this CDT treatment, we obtained rice seeds with contrasted seed vigor or germination capacity. We extracted the total RNA from the embryos and we analysed their transcriptome using the Affymetrix Rice Genome Array.-We applied a Controlled Deterioration Treatment (CDT) to seeds from the reference rice cultivar Nipponbare. First, all seeds are equilibrated at 25°C and 85% relative hygrometry. Then, depending on the treatment, seeds are placed at 25, 40 or 45°C in 85% relative hygrometry before being finally equilibrated at 25°C and 32% relative hygrometry. The germination of the three seed batches was measured during five days with one measure every 8h. Seeds placed at 25°C during the whole experiment were similar to control seeds kept in the fridge and germinated at nearly 100% in 48h. Seeds placed at 40°C during 15 days germinate at 74% but show altered seedling phenotypes (loss of seed vigor). Finally, seeds placed at 45°C do not germinate.
