Project description:Jatropha curcas L. is a potential biofuel plant. Application of exogenous cytokinin (6-benzyladenine, BA) on its inflorescence buds can significantly increase the number of female flowers, thereby improving seed yield. To investigate which genes and signal pathways are involved in the response to cytokinin in J. curcas inflorescence buds, we monitored transcriptional activity in inflorescences at 0, 3, 12, 24, and 48 h after BA treatment using a microarray. We detected 5,555 differentially expressed transcripts over the course of the experiment, which could be grouped into 12 distinct temporal expression patterns. We also identified 31 and 131 transcripts in J. curcas whose homologs in model plants function in flowering and phytohormonal signaling pathways, respectively. According to the transcriptional analysis of genes involved in flower development, we hypothesized that BA treatment delays floral organ formation by inhibiting the transcription of the A, B and E classes of floral organ-identity genes, which would allow more time to generate more floral primordia in inflorescence meristems, thereby enhancing inflorescence branching and significantly increasing flower number per inflorescence. BA treatment might also play an important role in maintaining the flowering signals by activating the transcription of GIGANTEA (GI) and inactivating the transcription of CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) and TERMINAL FLOWER 1b (TFL1b). In addition, exogenous cytokinin treatment could regulate the expression of genes involved in the metabolism and signaling of other phytohormones, indicating that cytokinin and other phytohormones jointly regulate flower development in J. curcas inflorescence buds. Our study provides a framework to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying changes in flowering traits in response to cytokinin treatment in J. curcas inflorescence buds. The results provide valuable information related to the mechanisms of cross-talk among multiple phytohormone signaling pathways in woody plants.

Gene expression of flower buds in response to BA was measured at 0h, 3h, 12h, 24h and 48h after 1mM 6-benzylaminopurine treatment. Three biological replicates were prepared for each time point.

Project description:Shoot branching of flowering plants exhibits phenotypic plasticity and variability. This plasticity is determined by the activity of axillary meristems, which in turn is influenced by endogenous and exogenous cues such as nutrients and light. In many species, not all buds on the main shoot develop into branches despite favorable growing conditions. In petunia, basal buds (buds 1-3) typically do not grow out to form branches, while more apical buds (buds 6 and 7) are competent to grow. The genetic regulation of buds was explored using transcriptome analyses of petunia axillary buds at different positions on the main stem. To suppress or promote bud outgrowth, we grew the plants in media with differing phosphate (P) levels. Using RNA-seq, we found many (>5000) differentially expressed genes between bud 6 or 7, and bud 2. In addition, more genes were differentially expressed when we transferred the plants from low P to high P medium, compared with shifting from high P to low P medium. Buds 6 and 7 had increased transcript abundance of cytokinin and auxin-related genes, whereas the basal non-growing buds (bud 2 and to a lesser extent bud 3) had higher expression of strigolactone, abscisic acid, and dormancy-related genes, suggesting the outgrowth of these basal buds was actively suppressed. Consistent with this, the expression of ABA associated genes decreased significantly in apical buds after stimulating growth by switching the medium from low P to high P. Furthermore, comparisons between our data and transcriptome data from other species suggest that the suppression of outgrowth of bud 2 was correlated with a limited supply of carbon to these axillary buds. Candidate genes that might repress bud outgrowth were identified by co-expression analysis.

Project description:An optimal size of postembryonic root apical meristem (RAM) is achieved by a balance between cell division and differentiation. Despite extensive research, molecular mechanisms underlying the spatiotemporal coordination of cell division and differentiation remain largely unknown. Here, we report that ORESARA 15 (ORE15), an Arabidopsis PLATZ transcription factor preferentially expressed in the RAM, determines RAM size. The primary root length, RAM size, cell division rate, and stem cell niche activity were reduced in an ore15 loss-of-function mutant but enhanced in an activation-tagged line overexpressing ORE15 compared with the wild type. We further demonstrate that ORE15 regulates auxin transport and distribution, at least partly, by modulating the expression and localization of the auxin importer AUXIN RESISTANT 1 (AUX1). ORE15 forms mutually positive and negative feedback loops with auxin and cytokinin signaling, respectively. Collectively, our findings imply that ORE15 controls the RAM size by mediating the antagonistic interaction between auxin and cytokinin.

Project description:Successful floral meristem (FM) determinacy is critical for the subsequent reproductive development and life cycle. Although phytohormones cytokinin and auxin interact to coordinately regulate many aspects of plant development, whether, if so how, cytokinin and auxin function in FM determinacy remain unclear. Here we show that the homeostasis of cytokinin is critical for the FM determinacy. Auxin promotes the expression of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR3 (ARF3) to repress cytokinin activity in FM determinacy. We found that ARF3 represses the expression of the ISOPENTENYLTRANSFERASE (IPT) family genes directly and the LONELY GUY (LOG) family genes indirectly, whose products are enzymes required for cytokinin biosynthesis. Furthermore, ARF3 directly inhibits the expression of ARABIDOPSIS HISTIDINE KINASE4 (AHK4), one of cytokinin receptor genes, to depress cytokinin activity. Genome-Wide Transcriptional Profiling reveals multiple functions of ARF3 in flower development. Consequently, ARF3 controls cell division by regulating cell cycle genes expression through cytokinin. Eventually, we show that AGAMOUS (AG) dynamically regulates the expression of ARF3 and IPTs resulting in coordinated regulation of FM maintenance and termination through cell division. Therefore, our findings reveal the molecular linkage between phytohormones auxin/cytokinin and AG in FM determinacy and shed light on the mechanisms of FM maintenance and termination.

Project description:Genome wide transcriptome profiling of pericycle cells from roots exposed to auxin, cytokinin and both hormones simultaneously. Lateral root organogenesis in Arabidopsis is governed by a complex network of hormonal regulations. Plant hormones auxin and cytokinin were demonstrated to be the key regulators of this lateral root organogenesis and their mode of interaction is antagonistic. The aim of the project is to understand the role of the auxin - cytokinin signalling pathways in lateral root organogenesis.

Project description:In plants, the phytohormone cytokinin plays a major role in promoting cell division. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying cytokinin stimulated cell proliferation remain poorly understood. Here we show that, in the meristems of Arabidopsis thaliana, two transcriptional factors, MYB3R1 and MYB3R4, are master regulators of mitotic cell cycle gene expression and cytokinin response.
