Project description:Arabidopsis plants transfer information from the leaf tip to the petiole base to induce adaptive upward leaf movement upon neighbour detection through Far-Red light enrichment in the leaf tip. To determine how a distally derived signal can specifically regulate growth in the abaxial petiole we analysed the transcriptome in the leaf tip and abaxial-adaxially split petiole sections during the first hours of far-red enrichment.

Project description:In dense plant stands, the ratio between red and far-red (R:FR) light declines and shade intolerant species will respond to this cue for future shade by inducing the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS), enabling them to outgrow their neighbours. Shade tolerant species from the forest understory are unable to outgrow neighbouring trees and will suppress SAS. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying SAS are well studied in various species, mechanisms of SAS-suppression in shade tolerant species have rarely been studied. We applied RNA sequencing on Geranium pyrenaicum and G. robertianum, two wild species with contrasting growth responses to low R:FR light. G. pyrenaicum strongly induces petiole elongation when exposed to low R:FR light, at any time of the photoperiod. Contrastingly, G. robertianum only induces this response early in the day, and suppresses petiole growth in low R:FR light at the end of the photoperiod, which results after 24 hours in a net difference with control treatments of zero. We compared expression patterns in the most apical (most responsive) part of the second petioles, in two-week-old Geranium plants (two leaf stage) after 2 and 11.5 hours of far-red light enrichment. This way, we identified a number of novel candidate regulators of shade avoidance, and differential phytochrome control of plant immunity genes in the two species. For de-novo assembly of the reference transcriptomes, we pooled petiole- and leaf lamina tissue exposed to normal white light (180 mol m-2 s-1 PAR, R:FR 1.8, ± 60 mol m-2 s-1 blue light), low R:FR light (0.2), blue-depleted light (± 4 mol m-2 s-1 blue) and green shade (50 mol m-2 s-1 PAR, R:FR 0.45, ± 13 mol m-2 s-1 blue) for 2, 11.5 and 24 hours. Libraries of these samples were normalized, Illumina sequenced, and together with sequences of non-normalized petiole samples of the expression analysis constructed into a reference transcriptome for each species, using the Trinity protocol. Transcripts were clustered into orthologue clusters using the ortho-MCL clustering technique. Non-normalized libraries of samples (control vs. low R:FR light, 2 and 11.5 hours after start of the treatment) were sequenced and aligned to the newly assembled transcriptomes. Read counts were summed per orthologue cluster before statistical analysis was proceeded.

Project description:Plants grown under a canopy recognize changes in light quality and modify their growth patterns; this modification is known as shade avoidance syndrome. In leaves, leaf blade expansion is suppressed, whereas petiole elongation is promoted under the shade. However, the mechanisms that control these responses are largely unclear. Here, we demonstrated that both auxin and brassinosteroid (BR) are required for the normal leaf responses to shade. The microarray analysis of leaf blades and petioles treated with end-of-day far-red light (EODFR) revealed that almost half of the genes induced by the treatment in both parts were previously identified as auxin-responsive genes. Likewise, BR-responsive genes were overrepresented in the EODFR-induced genes. Hence, the auxin and BR responses were elevated by EODFR treatment in both leaf blades and petioles, although opposing growth responses were observed in these two parts. The analysis of the auxin-deficient doc1/big mutant and BR-deficient rot3/cyp90c1 mutant further indicates that auxin and BR were equally required for the normal petiole elongation response to the shade stimulus. In addition, the spotlight irradiation experiment revealed that phytochrome in leaf blades but not that in petioles regulated petiole elongation, which was probably mediated through regulation of the auxin/BR responses in petioles. On the basis of these findings, we conclude that auxin and BR cooperatively promote petiole elongation in response to the shade stimulus under the control of phytochrome in the leaf blade. The WT seedlings were grown for 19 days under continuous white light condition before experimental treatment with three light conditions. Seedlings were either maintained in white light for 2 h (WL), incubated in the dark condition for 2 h (D), or experienced a pulse irradiation of FR light before incubated in the dark condition for 2 h (FRD). Total RNAs were separately prepared from leaf blades and petioles after each light treatment. Three independent biological replicates were used.

Project description:The goal of this work was to investigate the influence of low red to far-red (R:FR) signals generated by a biological weedy and an artificial source of far-red light on the nitrate assimilation pathway in maize. In the absence of direct resource competition, far-red light reflected from neighboring weeds compromises light quality (red to far-red ratio; R/FR) and causes a wide range of morphological and physiological responses at early growth stages of crop plants. This study has investigated the effects of low R/FR light signals on nitrate assimilation in maize seedlings. The transcript levels of genes, metabolites, and activities of enzyme in the nitrate assimilation pathway under a biological and a simulated low R:FR light environment were compared with a high R:FR control environment. Low R:FR signals stimulated nitrate accumulation in maize leaves, which did not appear to result from the upregulation of nitrate transporter genes. A significant reduction in ferredoxin-dependent glutamine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase activity appears to play a major role in nitrate accumulation under low R:FR light environments, while activities of other enzymes of the nitrate assimilation pathway remain unchanged.

Project description:Background: The growth and development of leaf and petiole have an important influence on the photosynthesis of plants. The research on molecular mechanism of leaf and petiole development is of great significance, whether it is to improve plant photosynthetic efficiency, cultivate varieties with high photosynthetic efficiency, or improve the yield of crops using leaves as food organs. In this study, we aimed to identify the mRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) related to leaf and petiole development in Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis). These data were then used to construct competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks, which can provide valuable information for better understanding the mechanism of leaf and petiole development. Results: In this study, the leaf and petiole of the baby Chinese cabbage inbred line ‘PHL’ were used as research materials for whole-transcriptome sequencing. A total of 10646 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, 303 DE lncRNAs, 7 DE circRNAs, and 195 DE miRNAs were identified between the leaf and petiole. Some transcription factors or proteins that play important roles in leaf and petiole development were identified, such as xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) protein, expansion protein, TCP15 transcription factor, bHLH transcription factor, LOB domain protein, cellulose synthase (CESA), MOR1-like protein, and plant hormone biosynthesis related genes. Additionally, we constructed a leaf and petiole development-related ceRNA regulatory network, and obtained 85 pairs of ceRNA relationships, including 71 DEmiRNA-DEmRNA, 12 DEmiRNA-DElncRNA and 2 DEmiRNA-DEcircRNA. Three LSH genes (BrLSH1, BrLSH2 and BrLSH3) with significant differential expression between leaf and petiole of baby Chinese cabbage were screened from transcriptome data for subcellular localization analysis and overexpression transgenic verification. The results showed that BrLSH1, BrLSH2 and BrLSH3 were nucleoprotein and BrLSH2 has an obvious inhibitory effect on the growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana. Conclusions: Our results revealed the potential mRNAs and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) involved in leaf and petiole development, which laid a foundation for further research on the molecular mechanism of leaf and petiole development in Chinese cabbage.

Project description:Phytochromes are red/far red photosensors regulating numerous developmental programs in plants. Among them phytochrome A (phyA) is essential to enable seedling de-etiolation in continuous far-red (FR) light a condition mimicking the environment under a dense canopy. The ecological relevance of this response is demonstrated by the high mortality rate of phyA mutants germinating in deep vegetational shade. phyA signaling involves a direct interaction of the photoreceptor with members of the bHLH transcription factor family, PIF1 and PIF3 (Phytochrome Interacting Factor). Here we investigated the involvement of PIF4 and PIF5 in phyA signaling and found that they redundantly control de-etiolation in FR light. The pif4pif5 double mutant is hypersensitive to low fluence rates of FR light. This phenotype is dependent on FR light perception by phyA but does not rely on alterations of the phyA level. Our microarrays analysis shows that PIF4 and PIF5 are part of an inhibitory mechanism repressing the expression of some light-responsive genes in the dark and are also needed for full expression of several growth-related genes in the light. Unlike PIF1 and PIF3, PIF4 and PIF5 are not degraded in response to FR light indicating that they are light-regulated by a different mechanism. Our genetic analysis suggests that this is achieved through the sequestration of these PIFs by the closely related bHLH transcription factor HFR1 (long Hypocotyl in FR light).

Project description:This application is the second part of a BBSRC-funded grant to compare and contrast the plastid-signalling pathways disrupted by Norflurazon and far-red light treatment of Arabidopsis seedlings. The first application of this laboratory to GARNet's Affymetrix service (2002-08-25-17.41.49_McCormac) addressed the Norflurazon pathway; this application addresses the far-red pathway. The assembly of photosynthetic complexes in developing chloroplasts is critical to the establishment of the autotrophic plant. This requires light-mediated upregulation of both nuclear- and chloroplast-encoded genes. The expression of such photosynthetically-associated nuclear genes is also often dependant on a retrograde plastid signal which emanates from chloroplasts to modulate nuclear transcription. Extensive studies using the herbicide Norflurazon to knock-out the plastid signal (including this lab's previous Affymetrix application to GARNet) are identifying the affected gene sets. However, genetic studies have indicated the existence of more than one plastid signalling pathway. We have recently investigated a phytochrome A-mediated, far-red (FR) input pathway which blocks subsequent chloroplast development under white light (WL). This has also been found to inhibit the transcription of a small group of known nuclear-encoded plastidic proteins. Here we wish to establish how wide-reaching this FR-effect is on nuclear transcription, and will directly compare the affected gene groups with those identified from our earlier (and other's) studies with a Norflurazon treatment. In this array experiment we will compare RNA from seedlings grown in complete darkness (D) before transfer to WL, with that of seedlings preconditioned under a restricted wavelength FR source before exposure to WL. This comparison of FR- and Norflurazon-affected gene groupings will indicate whether the plastid signalling pathways are likely to be the same, overlapping or highly divergent. As well as wild-type seedlings, the gun1,gun5 mutant line is to be used as both these alleles are well established as alleviating the Norflurazon-inhibited pathway, but their affect on the FR-pathway is less clear. A single replicate of a phyA-null mutant line will also be included in order to differentiate between specific phytochromeA-mediated responses and other FR effects. It is envisaged that, in general, D- and FR-treated samples of the phyA mutant line will respond in the same way as each other and as the wild-type D-treated samples and, thus, the lack of a biological repeat in this case is not a major short-fall. The proposed experiment will consist of: wild-type: D-pretreated (x2 biological replicates) wild-type: FR-preconditioned (x2) gun1,gun5: D-pretreated (x2) gun1,gun5: FR-preconditioned (x2) phyA: D-pretreated (x1) phyA: FR-preconditioned (x1) Keywords: strain_or_line_design

Project description:SA0420 is a stable rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutant exhibits multiple traits including a leaf-tip yellowing (YLT), a taro fragrance (or aroma, A), a reduced panicle number (PN), spikelet number (SN), plant height (PH), days to heading (DH), filled grain weight (FGW), and fertility rate (FR), different from those of a local cultivar TNG67. Correlation analysis on F2 progenies of SA0420 and TNG67 revealed that except for aroma which is inheritated independently, phenotypes including YLT, PN, SN, PH, and FGW are tightly associated with each others, indicating a control simultaneously by pleotropic gene. Among those phenotypes, YLT appears the earliest at vegetative stage, therefore may act as a predisposing factor that give rise to other phenotypes. Genetic analysis suggested that YLT is controlled by a single recessive gene. By analyzing the recombinant inbreed lines (RILs) that produce YLT and normal green (G) progenies in a 1:3 ratio, the phenotypes associated with YLT were further confirmed. To investigate the molecular events of leaf-tip yellowing, microarray analyses were performed to compare the gene expression profiles between YLT and G plants of RILs. Clustering of genes according to their involved metabolic pathways revealed that various photosynthesis and carbon fixation gene expressions are lower (~55~75%) in YLT than in G plants, consistent with the observation that photosynthesis rate of SA0420 was only 60% to that of TNG67. Moreover, higher expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related genes indicated that not only the reduced synthesis rate but also the elevated energy consumptions may synergistically decrease the growth vigor of SA0420. Dissection of the mature leaf revealed that chlorophyll is drastically reduced in the leaf-tip of SA0420 while carotenoids remain stable. This explains the appearance of leaf-tip yellowing and recall an analogy of early senescence. Indeed, many senescence-associated genes (SAG) were found to be up-regulated in SA0420. Experiment Overall Design: To investigate the molecular events of leaf-tip yellowing, microarray analyses were performed to compare the gene expression profiles between YLT and G plants of RILs.

Project description:This RNA-seq was designed to help gain understanding on the genetic program behind phytochrome developmental time dependent control of leaf 3 (L3) cell proliferation and expansion phases, to ultimately regulate organ growth. Briefly, Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 plants were grown under a light : dark (LD) 12 h : 12 h photoperiod, at a 100 µmoles/m2/s fluence rate and 21 °C of constant temperature. Plants were then exposed to either daily End of Day (EoD) far-red (FR, 40µmoles/m2/s of FR light (730nm) for 10 minutes) from day 6 and harvested L3 primordia or blade tissue at days 13, 16 and 20, or EoD FR from day 18, sampling at day 20. Plant kept under white light (WL) conditions were used as controls.
