Correlative Controls of Seeds over Maternal Growth and Senescence in Arabidopsis (expression)

ABSTRACT: Correlative controls (influences of one organ over another organ) of seeds over maternal growth are one of the most obvious phenotypic expressions of the trade-off between growth and reproduction. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we characterize the physiological and molecular effects of correlative inhibition by seeds on Arabidopsis thaliana inflorescences, i.e. global proliferative arrest (GPA) during which all maternal growth ceases upon the production of a given number of seeds. We use laser-assisted microdissection and RNA-seq or Affymetrix GeneChip hybridizations to compare sterile growing, fertile growing and fertile arrested meristems or whole inflorescences. In shoot tissues, we detected the induction of stress- and senescence-related gene expression upon fruit production and GPA, and a drop in chlorophyll levels - suggestive of altered source-sink relationships between vegetative shoot and reproductive tissues. Levels of shoot reactive oxygen species, however, strongly decreased upon GPA - a phenomenon that is associated with bud dormancy in some perennials. Indeed, gene expression changes in arrested apical inflorescences after fruit removal resembled changes observed in axillary buds following release from apical dominance. This suggests that GPA represents a form of bud dormancy, and that dominance is gradually transferred from growing inflorescences to maturing seeds - allowing offspring control over maternal resources, simultaneously restricting offspring number.

Trans-generational adaptation to maternal climate through hormone transport in plants [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Whether and how organisms can inherit environmental information from their parents is a major question in evolutionary theory. Plants have evolved to link reproductive development to seasonal environmental cues and seed dormancy is highly contingent on the environmental temperature during seed set, although the mechanism by which seeds acquire seasonal timing information is unclear. Here we show that loss of maternal like heterochromatin protein 1 (LHP1) causes an inability of progeny seeds to sense temperature and that this is linked mechanistically to reduced ABA levels in seeds and hyperaccumulation of free nitrate. Remarkably, single cell transcriptomics reveals that in both maternal fruit and seed tissues, the effect of small changes in temperature closely phenocopies the lhp1 mutant phenotype and ABA biosensor imaging reveal large fluxes of maternal ABA into seeds is modulated by temperature cues. We show that temperature activates ABA production in leaves and that maternal ABA is necessary and sufficient for progeny seeds to acquire seed dormancy. Thus, we reveal that the climate experience of mother plants causes adaptation of progeny behaviour via hormone transport during seed set.

A VEL3 histone deacetylase complex establishes a maternal epigenetic state controlling progeny seed dormancy

Project description:Mother plants play an important role in the control of dormancy and dispersal characters of their progeny. In Arabidopsis seed dormancy is imposed by the embryo-surrounding tissues of the endosperm and seed coat. Here we show that VERNALIZATION5/VIN3-LIKE 3 (VEL3) maintains maternal control over progeny seed dormancy by establishing an epigenetic state in the central cell that primes the depth of primary seed dormancy later established during seed maturation. VEL3 colocalizes with MSI1 in the nucleolus and associates with a histone deacetylase complex. Furthermore, VEL3 preferentially associates with pericentromeric chromatin and is required for deacetylation and H3K27me3 deposition established in the central cell. The epigenetic state established by maternal VEL3 is retained in mature seeds, and controls seed dormancy in part through repression of programmed cell death-associated gene ORE1. Our data demonstrates a novel mechanism by which maternal control of progeny seed physiology persists post-shedding, maintaining parental control of seed behaviour.

RNA-Seq of Arabidopsis thaliana developing siliques and seeds with temperature shifts

Project description:We investigated RNA involved in the maternal control of progeny seed dormancy. Basically, we grew Ler wild type plants at 22 and 16 degree Celsius before fertilization which were moved to 22 degree for seed maturation along with ft-1 plants at 22 degree through lifetime (which show decreased seed germinability). Various RNA fractions were prepared from developing siluqes (seeds removed) and seeds, and sequenced to identify genes involved in transducing maternal memory of temperature to progeny seeds.

Transcriptome analysis during axillary shoot outgrowth

Project description:In plant axillary bud dormancy and outgrowth are regulated by phytohoromones, but it is still unknown about its molecular mechanism. We reveal that Arabidopsis axillary buds located at axil of rosette leaves show dormancy and that this is broken by the decapitation of main stem, resulting in the bud outgrowth. To investigate about the molecular mechanisms of dormancy and outgrowth, we carried out gene expression analysis during axillary shoot outgrowth in Arabidopsis wild type Columbia accession. Since axillary buds did not initiate outgrowth (dormancy) at 5 day after bolting of main stem, we used 5-day bolted plants as a control (before decapitation). Then, main stems were decapitated, and axillary shoots were collected at 24 hours after decapitation (named as growing shoot). Total RNA was prepared from either control or growing shoots and used for the microarray analysis. We carried out duplicate microarray analysis using independent plant materials.Ref):Tatematsu et al., Plant Physiol. 138: 757-766 (2005). Keywords: Expression profilling by array
