Global gene expression profiling of developing maize anthers

ABSTRACT: The maize spikelet contains two florets, each of which contains three anthers. Morphologically, the anthers in the upper and lower florets proceed through the same developmental program. To test for global differences in gene expression between these anthers and to identify genes that are coordinately regulated during development, RNA isolated from upper and lower floret anthers at six developmental stages was used to hybridize cDNA microarrays. Approximately 9% of the tested genes exhibited statistically significant differences in gene expression between anthers in the upper and lower florets. This suggests that several basic biological processes are differentially regulated between upper and lower floret anthers, including photosynthesis, translation, and metabolism. To identify genes that are coordinately regulated during anther development, cluster analyses were performed. A variety of patterns of gene expression were observed. Five genes involved in programmed cell death were up-regulated at the time the tapetum begins to degenerate (i.e., the early microspore stage). This finding strongly supports the hypothesis that tapetal degeneration occurs via programmed cell death. In addition, many genes involved in protein synthesis exhibited differential expression patterns during anther development. Each microarray slide was scanned multiple times. This approach led to the identification an additional 30 to 40% of statistically significant differences in gene expression as compared to a single-scan strategy. Keywords: time course

Low sucrose availability reduces basal spikelet fertility by inducing abscisic acid and jasmonic acid synthesis in wheat

Project description:Within a spike of wheat, the central spikelets usually generate three to four fertile florets, while the basal spikelets hardly achieve this. The physiological and transcriptional mechanism behind the difference in fertility between the basal and central spikelets is unclear. This study reports a high temporal-resolution investigation of transcriptomes, number and morphology of floret primordia, and physiological traits. The W6.5–W7.5 stage was regarded as the boundary to distinguish between fertile and abortive floret primordia; those floret primordia reaching the W6.5–W7.5 stage during the differentiation phase (3–9 d after terminal spikelet stage) usually developed into fertile florets in the next, dimorphism phase (12–27 d after terminal spikelet stage), whereas the others aborted. The central spikelets had a greater number of fertile florets than the basal spikelets, which was associated with more floret primordia reaching the W6.5–W7.5 stage. Physiological and transcriptional results demonstrated that the central spikelets had a higher sucrose content and lower abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA) accumulation than the basal spikelets due to down-regulation of genes involved in ABA and JA synthesis. Collectively, we propose a model in which ABA and JA accumulation is induced under limiting sucrose availability (basal spikelet) through up-regulating genes involved in ABA and JA synthesis; this leads to floret primordia in the basal spikelets being hardly able to reach their fertile potential (W6.5–W7.5 stage) during the differentiation phase and then aborting. This fertility repression module may also regulate spikelet fertility in other cereal crops and potentially provides genetic resources to improve spikelet fertility.

Transcriptional regulation of male-sterility in 7B-1 male-sterile tomato mutant

Project description:The 7B-1 tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv Rutgers) is a male-sterile mutant with enhanced tolerance to abiotic stress, which makes it a potential candidate for hybrid seed breeding and stress engineering. Transcriptomic profiles of the 7B-1 male-sterile and wild type (WT) anthers were studied using mRNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). In total, 768 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 132 up-regulated and 636 down-regulated transcripts. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of DEGs suggested a general impact of the 7B-1 mutation on metabolic processes, such as proteolysis and carbohydrate catabolic process. Sixteen candidates with key roles in regulation of anther development were subjected to further analysis using qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization. Cytological studies showed several defects associated with anther development in the 7B-1 mutant, including unsynchronized anther maturation, dysfunctional meiosis, arrested microspores, defect in callose degradation and abnormal tapetum development. TUNEL assay showed a defect in programmed cell death (PCD) of tapetal cells in 7B-1 anthers. The present study provides insights into the transcriptome of the 7B-1 mutant. We identified several genes with altered expression level in 7B-1 (including beta-1,3 glucanase, GA2oxs, cystatin, cysteine protease, pectinesterase, TA29, and actin) that could potentially regulate anther developmental processes, such as meiosis, tapetum development, and cell-wall formation/degradation.

Spatiotemporal and cell-type dependent phasiRNA biogenesis in maize male reproduction (RNA-seq2)

Project description:Maize anthers, the male reproductive floral organs, express two classes of phased, small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs). RNA profiling from ten sequential cohorts of staged maize anthers plus mature pollen revealed that 21-nt phased siRNAs (21-phasiRNAs) from 463 loci appear abruptly after germinal and initial somatic cell fate specification and then diminish, while 24-nt phased siRNAs (24-phasiRNAs) from 176 loci coordinately accumulate during meiosis and persist as haploid gametophytes differentiate into pollen. RNA sequencing of anther developmental mutants, together with in situ RNA hybridization detection of phasiRNA biogenesis factors, demonstrated that 21-phasiRNAs and 24-phasiRNAs are independently regulated. Furthermore, 21-phasiRNAs require epidermal cells while 24-phasiRNAs require functional tapetal cells. Maize phasiRNAs and mammalian PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) illustrate convergent evolution of small RNAs to support male reproduction.

Stomatal Development and Gene Expression in Rice Florets

Project description:Stomata play a fundamental role modulating the exchange of gases between plants and the atmosphere. These microscopic structures form in high numbers on the leaf epidermis and are also present on flowers. Although leaf stomata are well-studied, little attention has been paid to the development or function of floral stomata. To characterise gene expression during the stomatal development in IR64 florets, as well as to identify potential gene expression differences in florets of transgenic plants with a reduction in stomatal density, a RNA-sequencing was carried out using floret samples from different developmental stages of IR64 (control) and transgenic plants overexpressing the gene OsEPF1. Differential expression analyses conducted on the RNA-seq dataset indicate that the cellular transitions during the development of floral stomata are regulated by the same genetic network used in rice leaves, and reveal alterations in global gene expression in florets of plants overexpressing OsEPF1.
