Project description:Meristem maintenance, achieved through the highly conserved CLAVATA-WUSCHEL (CLV-WUS) regulatory circuit, is fundamental in balancing stem cell proliferation with cellular differentiation. Disruptions to meristem homeostasis can alter meristem size, leading to enlarged organs. Cotton, the world’s most important fiber crop, shows inherent variation in fruit size. Leveraging meristem regulation could benefit cotton agriculture and increase yields of high-quality fibers. Using virus-based gene manipulation in cotton, we altered expression of genes functioning in the CLV-WUS circuit to perturb meristem regulation and increase fruit size. Targeted alteration of individual components of the CLV-WUS circuit only modestly fasciated flowers and fruits. Unexpectedly, controlled expression of meristem regulator SELF-PRUNING (SP) dramatically increased the impacts of altered CLV-WUS expression on flower and fruit fasciation. Meristem transcriptomics show SP and genes of the CLV-WUS circuit are expressed independently from each other, suggesting these gene products are not acting in the same path. Virus-induced silencing of GhSP facilitated delivery of other signals to the meristem to dramatically alter organ specification. SELF-PRUNING has a role in cotton meristem homeostasis, and changes in GhSP expression increased access of virus-based signals to the meristem.

Project description:The mechanisms ensuring balanced growth remain a critical question in developmental biology. In plants, this balance relies on spatiotemporal integration of hormonal signaling pathways, but the understanding of the precise contribution of each hormone is just beginning to take form. Brassinosteroid (BR) hormone, is shown here to have opposing effects on root meristem size, depending on its site of action. BR is demonstrated to both delay and promote onset of stem cell daughter differentiation, when acting in the outer tissue of the root meristem, the epidermis, and the inner-most tissue, the stele, respectively. To understand the molecular basis of this phenomenon, a comprehensive spatiotemporal translatome mapping of Arabidopsis roots was performed. Analyses of wild type and mutants featuring different distributions of BR, revealed autonomous, tissue-specific gene responses to BR, implying its contrasting tissue-dependent impact on growth. BR-induced genes were primarily detected in epidermal cells of the basal meristem zone and were enriched by auxin-related genes. In contrast, repressed BR genes prevailed in the stele of the apical meristem zone. Furthermore, auxin was found to mediate the growth-promoting impact of BR signaling originating in the epidermis, while BR signaling in the stele buffered this effect. We propose that context-specific BR activity and responses are oppositely interpreted at the organ level, ensuring coherent growth.

Project description:Transcriptome changes were also examined at three stages of SAM self-pruning utilizing microarray. Combining results from different stages, 1,573 differentially expressed genes were identified; the extensive repertoire of genes associated with programmed cell death, cell wall biosynthesis and metabolism strongly suggests that abscission layers activate both catabolic and anabolic wall modification pathways during self-pruning process. Three independent citrus RNA samples (Three days before self-pruning, begin self-pruning and seven days after self-pruning) were hybridized with microarrays separately

We propose that context-specific BR activity and responses are oppositely interpreted at the organ level, ensuring coherent growth. 24 samples of polyribosome-associated mRNA (following 0, 3, and 8 hours of BR treatment, in two biological repetitions), were collected. RNA samples were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500, to obtain 50 bp single-end reads. These reads were aligned to the TAIR10 assembly of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, using Tophat2 v2.0.9. Transcript coordinates from the TAIR10 reference set were used to guide the alignment process. After alignment, the numbers of reads per transcript were estimated using HTSeq v0.5.3p3, and DESeq2 v1.2.8 was used to normalize read counts and call differentially expressed genes.

Project description:Enlargement and doming of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) is a hallmark of the transition from vegetative growth to flowering. While this change is widespread, its role in the flowering process is unknown. The late termination (ltm) tomato mutant shows severely delayed flowering and precocious doming of the vegetative SAM. LTM encodes a kelch domain-containing protein, with no link to known meristem maintenance or flowering time pathways. LTM interacts with the TOPLESS (TPL) corepressor and with several transcription factors, providing specificity for its repressive functions. A sub-group of flowering-associated genes are precociously upregulated in vegetative stages of ltm SAMs, among them, the antiflorigen gene SELF PRUNING (SP). A mutation in SP restored the structure of vegetative SAMs in ltm sp double mutants and late flowering was partially suppressed, suggesting LTM functions to suppress SP in the vegetative SAM. In agreement, SP-overexpressing wild type plants exhibited precocious doming of vegetative SAMs combined with late flowering, as found in ltm plants. Strong flowering signals can result in termination of the SAM, usually by its differentiation into a flower. We propose that activation of a floral antagonist that promotes SAM growth in concert with floral transition protects it from such terminating effects.

Project description:Drosophila mushroom body (MB) γ neurons undergo axon pruning during metamorphosis through a process of localized degeneration of specific axon branches. Developmental axon degeneration is initiated at the onset of metamorphosis by the pre-pupal rise in the steroid hormone ecdysone. This study identifies genes that alter their expression in MB neurons at the onset and early steps of axon pruning. Keywords: timecourse

Project description:Genes encoding the virulence-promoting type III secretion system (T3SS) in phytopathogenic bacteria are induced at the start of infection, indicating that recognition of signals from the host plant initiates this response. However, the precise nature of these signals and whether their concentrations can be altered to affect the biological outcome of host-pathogen interactions remain speculative. Here we use a metabolomic comparison of resistant and susceptible genotypes to identify plant-derived metabolites that induce T3SS genes in Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 and report that mapk phosphatase 1 (mkp1), an Arabidopsis mutant that is more resistant to bacterial infection, produces decreased levels of these bioactive compounds. Consistent with these observations, T3SS effector expression and delivery by DC3000 was impaired when infecting the mkp1 mutant. The addition of bioactive metabolites fully restored T3SS effector delivery and suppressed the enhanced resistance in the mkp1 mutant. Pretreatment of plants with pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to induce PAMP triggered immunity (PTI) also restricts T3SS effector delivery and enhances resistance by unknown mechanisms, and the addition of the bioactive metabolites similarly suppressed both aspects of PTI. Together, these results demonstrate that DC3000 perceives multiple signals derived from plants to initiate its T3SS and that the level of these host-derived signals impacts bacterial pathogenesis.
