Project description:Transcription profiling of Physcomitrella patens Reute strain gametophore, mature sporophyte and spore stage. These samples are part of an large-scale expression data set for the model moss Physcomitrella patens.
Project description:The moss Physcomitrella patens was employed to study abiotic stress responses in order to understand the effects of mild (30°C) and strong (37°C) continuous heat stresses from 1h to 24h at a transcriptomic level.
Project description:Analysis of transcriptome in moss Physcomitrella patens CNGCb null mutant at 25 and 34 degrees C for 30 minutes. Results provide insight into role of CNGCb in acquired thermotolerance induced by non-lethal heat treatment. Typically at dawn of a hot summer day, land plants need precise molecular thermometers to sense harmless increments in the ambient temperature to timely develop a heat-shock response (HSR) and accumulate protective heat shock proteins (Hsps), in anticipation of upcoming harmful temperatures at mid-day. Here, we found that the CNGCb gene from Physcomitrella patens and its Arabidopsis ortholog CNGC2, encode for a component of cyclic nucleotide gated Ca2+ channels acting as the primary thermosensors of land plant cells. Disruption of CNGCb or CNGC2 produced a hyper-thermosensitive phenotype, giving rise to a HSR and acquired thermotolerance at significantly milder heat-priming treatments than in wild type plants. In an aequorin-expressing moss, CNGCb loss-of-function caused altered Ca2+ signaling and a sustained Ca2+ influx. Patch clamp recordings on moss protoplasts showed the presence of three distinct thermo-responsive Ca2+-channels in wild type cells. Deletion of CNGCb led to a total absence of one, and it increased the open probability of the remaining two thermo-responsive Ca2+ channels. Thus, both in Arabidopsis and moss, CNGC2 and CNGCb are expected to form with other related CNGCs, heteromeric Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane that respond to mild increments in the ambient temperature by triggering an optimal HSR, leading to the onset of plant acquired thermotolerance.
Project description:In this study we used single-cell type transcriptomics to identify more than 4,000 differentially expressed (DE) genes that distinguish uniplanar protonematal tip cells from multiplanar gametophore bud cells in the moss Physcomitrella patens. While the transcriptomes of both tip and bud cells harbor molecular signatures of proliferative cells, the bud cell transcriptomes exhibit a wider variety of upregulated genes. Our data suggest that the combined expression of genes regulating shoot patterning and asymmetric cell division accompanied the transition from uniplanar to triplanar meristematic growth in moss.
