Comparsion of gene expression profile in polaris (pola) mutant lines and its POLARIS (POLA) wild-type at meiotic and ripening stages

ABSTRACT: To assess the role of POLA in relation to ovule development, embryogenesis and endosperm development, we analyzed gene expression profiles by using microarray. Compared to the wild-type plants, several groups of transcription factors in the pola mutant plants and POLA RNAi lines showed up- or down-regulation at meiotic stage and ripening stages of floral development. Specifically, we confirmed significant changes of up- or down-regulation in some genes required for several biological processes, such as biosynthesis, transport, signal transduction, and degeneration of hormone, sugar, starch, fatty and lipid, protein and amino acid. These results supported that MADS protein POLA could function both as a transcriptional activator and repressor, directly and/or indirectly interacted with dozens of potential target genes involved in developmental and hormonal pathways. To perform microarray analysis, the samples were pooled by 20 panicles from 10 individual plants at meiotic and ripening stage. For meiotic stage RNA sample, panicle of pola mutant were prepared at early to late meiotic stage, and panicle of POLA RNAi line(T2) were prepared at ten to fifteen days after pollination stage for ripening stage RNA sample.

Project description:Plants initially undergo a period of vegetative development, in which it produces leaves from shoot apical meristem (SAM) and roots from the root apical meristem. Later in development, the SAM undergoes a change in fate and enters reproductive development called as floral transition, producing flowers and seeds. Our understanding of the molecular and genetic mechanisms that underlie reproductive development in plants has increased tremendously in the past decade, essentially through the work on Arabidopsis. In this study, we have analyzed the spatial and temporal gene expression in various tissues/organs and developmental stages of rice using microarray technology to identify the genes differentially expressed during various stages of reproductive development. Experiment Overall Design: Various rice tissues/organs (seedling root, mature leaf and Y leaf) and stages of reproductive (panicle and seed) development were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Three biological replicates of each sample were used for microarray analysis. We sought to obtain developmental and temporal gene expression profiles at each stage to identify the differentially expressed genes. Different stages of panicle and seed development have been categorized according to panicle length and days after pollination, respectively, based on landmark developmental events as follows: up to 0.5 mm, shoot apical meristem and rachis meristem (SAM); 0-3 cm, floral transition and floral organ development (P1); 3-10 cm, meiotic stage (P2 and P3); 10-15 cm, young microspore stage (P4); 15-22 cm, vacuolated pollen stage (P5); 22-30 cm, mature pollen stage (P6); 0-2 dap, early globular embryo (S1); 3-4 dap, middle and late globular embryo (S2); 5-10 dap, embryo morphogenesis (S3); 11-20 dap, embryo maturation (S4); 21-29, dormancy and desiccation tolerance (S5). These stage specifications are approximations based on information from Itoh et al., 2005, Plant Cell Physiol, 46, 23-47.

Project description:Wheat panicle development is a coordinated process of proliferation and differentiation with distinctive phase and architecture changes. However, the multiple genes involved networks controlling this process remain enigmatic. Here, we characterized and dissected common wheat panicles in the stages of vegetative stage before elongation, elongation, single ridge, double ridge, glume primodium differentiation and floret differentiation, respectively, followed by RNA-seq and bioinformatics analysis to study genome-wide mRNA transcriptome profiling in wheat early spike development. High gene expression correlations between any two stages (R2>0.97) and only 4000 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) out of 49624 expressed transcripts in all stages indicated that wheat early panicle development is just controlled by an small proportion of important genes. Three subgenomes (A, B and D) contribute equally to this process. K-means clustering analysis revealed the dynamic expression patterns of DEGs and Hierarchical Clustering analysis demonstrated that single bridge stage and double bridge stage are most important for wheat panicle development. Interestingly, 306 transcription factors (TFs) with various functions from different families were identified and the spatial-temporal expression patterns of some were verified by quantitative PCR or in situ hybridization. At early stages, repressing flowering TFs combined with AP2/ERF TFs and cytokinin promote inflorescence meristem development and repress meristem differentiation. At single ridge and double ridge stages, highly expressed stress-response TFs balance the interaction between stress response and development. During reproductive stages, crosstalk between auxin and cytokinin coordinate the meristem proliferation and differentiation, and promoting flowering TFs with polarity establishment TFs and MADS-box TFs promote floral meristem generation and floral organ identity and development. This dataset provided an ideal resource for wheat panicle developmental research. Our study uncovered the regulatory network for coordinated wheat early spike development and would eventually contribute to the improvement of grain number and crop yield.
