Expression data from dormant and after-ripened wheat seeds and after-ripened seeds imbibed in ABA.

ABSTRACT: Wheat seed dormancy is released by after-ripening, and germination and seminal root growth of after-ripened/non-dormant seeds can be inhibited by treatment with exogenous ABA. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Wheat Genome Array to detail transcriptional programs affected by after-ripening of dormant seeds and imbibition of after-ripened seeds in ABA.

Project description:Seed dormancy is the inability for seeds to germinate even under favorable conditions. In the Arabidopsis Landsberg erecta (Ler) ecotype, 2 weeks of dry storage, called after-ripening, is sufficient to relieve seed dormancy. Such seed is referred to as after-ripened (AR) and has a high rate of germination when imbibed. While widespread transcriptome changes have been previously observed with seed dormancy loss, this experiment was designed to characterize transcriptional changes associated with the increased seed dormancy and dormancy loss of the gibberellin (GA) hormone-insensitive sleepy1-2 (sly1-2) mutant. The SLY1 gene encodes the F-box subunit of an SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase needed for GA-triggered proteolysis of DELLA repressors of seed germination. In the sly1-2 mutant, GA-directed DELLA proteolysis cannot occur leading to DELLA protein accumulation and increased dormancy. sly1-2 mutant seeds are fully dormant at 2 weeks of dry storage (0% germination), but germinate well with very long after-ripening (51% germination after 19 months). sly1-2 seed germination can also be rescued by overexpression of the GA receptor, GA-INSENSITIVE DWARF1b (GID1b-OE), which resulted in 74% germination at 2 weeks of dry storage. In this experiment, we compared seeds of wild-type Ler at 2 weeks of dry storage (non-dormant), dormant sly1-2 (2 weeks of dry storage; sly1-2(D)), long after-ripened sly1-2 (non-dormant, 19 months of dry storage; sly1-2(AR)), and sly1-2 GID1b-OE (non-dormant, 2 weeks of dry storage). Samples were collected at two imbibition timepoints: 1) a 0h timepoint after 4 days at 4°C, and 2) a 12h timepoint after 4 days at 4°C followed by 12 hours in the light at 22°C. These timepoints were selected to capture the transcriptomes at an early and late time in Phase II of imbibition. Using this experimental design we were able to determine transcriptome differences associated with seed dormancy in the sly1-2 mutation (Ler wt vs sly1-2(D)), and changes associated with sly1-2 dormancy loss through dry after-ripening (sly1-2(AR) vs sly1-2(D)) or through GID1b-overexpression (sly1-2 GID1b-OE vs sly1-2(D)). Seeds for Ler wt, sly1-2(D), and sly1-2 GID1b-OE were grown alongside each other under the same conditions and after-ripened for 2 weeks. Seeds from sly1-2(AR) were grown under the same conditions in advance of the other lines to allow for the long after-ripening requirement. RNA was extracted using a phenol-chloroform-based extraction from three biological replicates per treatment.
