Project description:We studied early events of flower formation with a temporal resolution by employing a floral induction system to drive synchronized flower development from inflorescence meristem-like tissue (Wellmer et al. (2006)). We generated a developmental time series including vegetative leaf tissue, young developing flowers at zero (t0) and two days after induction of flower development (t2), and fully expanded inflorescences. Although we found very similar numbers of H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 target genes, many genes display quantitative changes in those marks, especially between different tissue types (e.g. >60% of target genes change quantitatively from leaf to t0).

Project description:Flower development is a dynamics process in which floral organs are produced from pools of stem cells residing in meristems (Smyth et al., 1990). In order to obtain a high resolution map of the changes of gene expression during this process thus to provide insights into specific expression patterns and their underlying gene regulatory networks, an inducible system which allows us to obtain synchronized flowers (Wellmer et al., 2006) was used to collect stage-specific floral tissues at four stages (stages 0, 2, 4 and 8) for transcriptome profiling by RNA-seq . These stages represent the status of inflorescence meristem, floral meristem specification, floral organ specification and floral organ differentiation, respectively during Arabidopsis flower development.

Project description:This experiment describes gene expression during early Arabidopsis flower development. We used a 35S:AP1-GR ap1 cal line to induce synchronized flower development by specifically activating the AP1-GR fusion protein in ap1 cal inflorescence-like meristems through dexamethasone treatment. Tissue samples were collected immediately after the treatment, as well as at one-day intervals for the following five days. The expression profiles of the individual samples were then analyzed by gene expression profiling using whole-genome microarrays (Operon). Keywords: time course

Project description:12plex_vitis_2012_04 - cold stress - In temperate species, low temperatures adversely affect plant growth and development, constraining spatial expansion and productivity. Cold can trigger adaptive process or lead to alterations in physiological traits when stress intensity exceeds a certain threshold. Grapevine flower development and fruit set are influenced by cold nights in the vineyard. The correct formation of sexual organs and the success of reproduction are dependent upon sugar supply which can be affected by low temperatures. Many pathways of carbon metabolism may be affected by low temperatures however limited information is available about fluctuations in carbon metabolism in inflorescences. - Experiments were performed on inflorescence of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot noir fruiting cuttings. First, inflorescences at female meiosis were collected the day of the experiment, then cuttings with the inflorescence were placed at 0°C for a 8 h night. Control plants were maintained in a growth chamber for 8 h at 19°C. Inflorescences were collected after 1 h and 8 h of cold. Additional time point was performed 2 h after the end of the cold night by placing the inflorescence at 25°C after the end of the cold night. Control plants were also collected.

Project description:Plant inflorescence meristems and floral meristems possess specific boundary domains that result in floral organ separation, and in proper numbers of floral organs. HANABA TARANU (HAN) encodes a boundary-expressing GATA type zinc finger transcription factor that regulates shoot apical meristem organization, cell division and flower development in Arabidopsis, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Through time-course whole genome oligonucleotide microarray analyses following transient overexpression of HAN, we find that HAN represses hundreds of genes, especially genes involved in hormone responses and floral organ regulation. Transient overexpression of HAN also causes the repression of HAN itself and three other HAN family genes: HANL2 (HAN-LIKE2), GNC (GATA, NITRATE-INDUCIBLE, CARBON-METABOLISM-INVOLVED) and GNL (GNC LIKE), forming a negative regulatory feedback loop. Double- and triple-mutant strains of han with hanl2, gnc and gnl show synergistic effects on sepal fusion, petal number, and silique length, and embryo development, as well as carpelloid stamens. Transcripts of HANL2, GNC and GNL have similar accumulation patterns, specifically in petals, stamens, carpels and inflorescence meristems, which are partially overlapping with the expression pattern of HAN, suggesting that HAN and HAN family genes share redundant functions during flower development. We further show by yeast two hybrid assays that HAN can homodimerize as well as heterodimerize with other HAN family proteins. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation analyses indicate that HAN directly binds to its own promoter and the promoter of GNC in vivo. These findings, together with the fact that constitutive overexpression of HAN has an even stronger phenotype than a loss of function mutation, support the hypothesis that HAN may function as a key repressor that regulates floral development via intricate regulatory networks involving genes in the GATA3 family, hormone actions and floral organ specification. Time course induction experiment. Arabidopsis inflorescences containing flower buds from stages 1-9 were collected for microarray experiment 0h, 4h, 12h and 72h after 10M-BM-5M Dex treatment. RNA samples from mock- and Dex-treated plants at each time point were co-hybridized, and labeling dyes were swapped between replicates to reduce dye-related bias. Four biological replicates were used for the microarray hybridization.

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.

Project description:Development of eukaryotic organisms is controlled by transcription factors that trigger specific and global changes in gene expression programmes. In plants, MADS-domain transcription factors act as master regulators of developmental switches and organ specification. However, the mechanisms by which these factors dynamically regulate the expression of their target genes at different developmental stages are still poorly understood. Here, we characterize the dynamic relationship of chromatin accessibility, gene expression and DNA-binding of two MADS-domain proteins during Arabidopsis flower development. The developmental dynamics of DNA-binding of APETALA1 and SEPALLATA3 is largely independent of chromatin accessibility, and our findings suggest that AP1 acts as M-bM-^@M-^Xpioneer factorM-bM-^@M-^Y that modulates chromatin accessibility, thereby facilitating access of other transcriptional regulators to their target genes. Our data provide a primer to the idea that cellular differentiation in plants can be associated to dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility, as consequence of the action of master transcription factors. We used the AP1-GR system to conduct DNaseI hypersensitivity experiments at different stages of flower development. Samples were generated from tissue in which the AP1-GR protein was induced using a treatment of 1 uM DEX to the shoot apex. The material was collect before treatment and 2, 4 and 8 days after treatment. As control, naked DNA from wild-type inflorescences was used. Experiments were done in two biological replicates. The GSE47981 includes expression data that are complementary to the data in the GSE46986 and GSE46894.

Project description:Maize develops separate ear and tassel inflorescences with initially similar morphology but finally different architecture and sexuality. The detailed regulatory mechanisms underlying these changes still remain largely clear. In this study, through analyzing the time-course meristem transcriptomes and floret single-cell transcriptomes of ear and tassel we revealed the regulatory dynamics and pathways underlying inflorescence development and sex differentiation. Our study provides a deep understanding of the regulatory mechanisms underlying inflorescence development and sex differentiation in maize, laying the foundation to identify new regulators and pathways for maize hybrid breeding and improvement.
