Project description:The vascular system of plants consists of xylem, phloem and procambium in a specific pattern. The phloem consists of sieve elements, the apparatus for bulk flow of photo-assimilates, and companion cells, which mediate transport of photo-assimilates between the sieve elements and surrounding cells and support the biological activities of the sieve element cells. The regulatory mechanisms of vascular development are being uncovered. Here we show that PHLOEM EARLY DOFs (PEARs) and related genes (collectively phloem-Dofs) not only regulate the number of procambium cell files, but also positively regulate phloem differentiation. Overexpression of phloem-Dofs induced cells that expressed either sieve element or companion cell marker genes, which are mutually exclusive. Conversely, disruption of phloem-Dofs caused loss of phloem. Phloem-Dofs induce CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED25 (CLE25) and CLE26 peptides, which in turn inhibit expression of phloem-Dofs and phloem formation, forming a negative feedback loop. Disruption of multiple genes for either phloem-expressed CLEs, BARELY ANY MERISTEM (BAM)-class receptors, or their coreceptors, CLAVATA3 INSENSITIVE RECEPTOR KINASEs (CIKs), caused excess formation of phloem cell files. We further show that phloem-Dofs are under positive self and mutual regulation. These positive and negative feedback loops create the proper phloem pattern.

Project description:This sudy focuses on the identification of transcripts in the shoot phloem of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Transcripts expressed in the phloem tissue (parenchyma cell, companion cell, sieve element) were excised by laser microdissection pressure catapulting (LMPC). These were compared with transcripts isolated from leaf phloem exudates by EDTA-chelation technique. Optimization of sample harvest resulted in RNA of high quality from both sources. Modifications of the RNA amplification procedure obtained RNA of sufficient yield and quality for microarray experiments. Microarrays (Affymetrix, ATH1) hybridized with RNA derived from phloem tissue by LMPC or phloem sap allowed us to differentiate between phloem located and mobile transcript species. The datasets provide a search criterion for phloem-based signals and will facilitate reverse genetic studies and forward genetic screens for phloem and long distance RNA signaling mutants.

Experiment Overall Design: Arabidopsis plants were cultivated under short day conditions (8 h light) until flowering. Phloem tissue was isolated by Lasermicrodissection and Pressure Catapulting (LMPC) and phloem exudate by EDTA-chelation technique. In both experiments poly-A-RNA was extracted and amplified before hybridization of microarrays (Affymetrix, ATH1). For both experiments three LMPC-derived phloem tissue (LMPC-derived phloem_1-3) and three phloem exudate samples (Phloem exudate_1-3) were analysed. Precise protocols of plant growth, sample harvest, RNA extraction and amplification are provided in Deeken et al., 2008.

Project description:Symplasmicly connected cells called sieve elements form a network of tubes in the phloem of vascular plants. Sieve elements have essential functions as they provide routes for photoassimilate distribution, the exchange of developmental signals, and the coordination of defense responses. Nonetheless, they are the least understood main type of plant cells. They are extremely sensitive, possess a reduced endomembrane system without Golgi apparatus, and lack nuclei and translation machineries, so that transcriptomics and similar techniques cannot be applied. Moreover, the analysis of phloem exudates as a proxy for sieve element composition is marred by methodological problems. We developed a simple protocol for the isolation of sieve elements from leaves and stems of Nicotiana tabacum at sufficient amounts for large-scale proteome analysis. By quantifying the enrichment of individual proteins in purified sieve element relative to bulk phloem preparations, proteins of increased likelyhood to function specifically in sieve elements were identified. To evaluate the validity of this approach, YFP-constructs of genes encoding three of the candidate proteins were expressed in plants. Tagged proteins occurred exclusively in sieve elements. Two of them, a putative cytochrome b561/ferric reductase and a reticulon-like protein, appeared restricted to ER segments that were inaccessible to the luminal ER marker, HDEL-GFP, suggesting a previously unknown differentiation of the endomembrane system in sieve elements. Evidently, our list of promising candidate proteins provides a valuable exploratory tool for sieve element biology.

Project description:Single cell sequencing has recently allowed the generation of exhaustive root cell atlases. However, some cell types are elusive and remain underrepresented. Here, we use a second-generation single cell approach, where we zoom in on the root transcriptome by sorting cells with specific markers, to profile the phloem poles at an unprecedented resolution. Our data highlight the similarities among the developmental trajectories and gene regulatory networks communal to protophloem sieve element (PSE) adjacent lineages in relation to PSE enucleation, a key event in phloem biology. As a signature for early PSE-adjacent lineages, we have identified a set of DNA-binding with one finger (DOF) transcription factors, the PINEAPPLEs (PAPL), that act downstream of PHLOEM EARLY DOF (PEAR) genes, and are important to guarantee a proper root nutrition in the transition to autotrophy. Our data provide a holistic view of the phloem poles that act as a functional unit in root development.

Project description:Leaves are asymmetric, with differential functionalization of abaxial and adaxial tissues. The bundle sheath (BS) surrounding the vasculature of the C3 crop barley is dorsoventrally differentiated into three domains: adaxial structural, lateral S-type, and abaxial L-type. S-type cells seem to transfer assimilates towards the phloem. Here we used single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate BS differentiation in C4 maize. Abaxial BS (abBS) cells of rank-2 intermediate veins specifically expressed three SWEET sucrose uniporters (SWEET13a, b, and c) and UmamiT amino acid efflux transporters. SWEET13a, b, c were also identified in the phloem parenchyma (PP). Thus maize acquired a unique mechanism for phloem loading in which abBS cells provide the main pathway for apoplasmic sucrose transfer towards the phloem. This pathway predominates in veins responsible for phloem loading (rank-2 intermediate), while rank-1 intermediate and major veins export sucrose from the phloem parenchyma (PP) adjacent to the sieve element companion cell (SE/CC) complex, as in Arabidopsis. We surmise that abBS identity is subject to dorsoventral patterning and has components of PP identity. The observations provide first insights into the unique properties of abBS cells, cells previously considered to fulfill the same functions as other bundle sheath cells (BSCs), and a basis for understanding the C4 syndrome.
