Differentially expressed genes between WT and AtC3H17-overexpressing transgenic plants

ABSTRACT: We characterized the biological and molecular functions of AtC3H17, a unique Arabidopsis gene encoding a non-tandem CCCH zinc finger protein, in plant development. To investigate the downstream regulatory mechanisms of AtC3H17, whole genome microarray expression profiling was carried out. The experiment was designed to identify differentially expressed genes between WT and AtC3H17-overexpressing transgenic plants (AtC3H17 OXs) grown for 14 days under SD growth conditions. Interestingly, the most up-regulated genes were 12S seed storage globulin genes, CRUCIFERIN A (CRA1) and CRUCIFERIN 3 (CRU3), and seed oil-body protein genes such as OLEOSIN 1 (OLEO1) and OLEO2 in AtC3H17 OXs compared with WT. We performed quantitative RT-PCR and confirmed that transcription levels of CRU3, OLEO1, OLEO2, and 2S seed storage albumin 1 (At2S1) were higher in AtC3H17 OX seedlings than in WT seedlings. Differentially expressed genes between WT and AtC3H17 OX at 14 days after germination under SD conditions (8-h-light and 16-h-dark cycle) were explored in whole genome level. Two AtC3H17 OX samples were compared to WT sample as a control.

Project description:Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most consumed grain legume in developing countries in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa1. Like other legumes, common bean seeds are rich in protein, carbohydrates, fibers and other health-promoting phenolic compounds thus being vital for food security and income source for local small farmers2. Seed quality traits depend on accumulation of various storage molecules during the seed development (SD) process and influenced by the genotype and adaptive changes to environment3. Concerning common bean, there is still a lack of a deeper molecular knowledge of SD that is hampering the development of new biotech approaches for seed trait modulation and could timely address challenges of agriculture or industry. Our present work aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying SD using a proteomic approach. To achieve this goal, we characterized SD in terms biomass, seed length and weight in the genotype SER16, one of the most promissory drought-resistant release of the CIAT-CGIAR. Seed samples were collected at the 4 main SD stages: Late-Embryogenesis (10 days after anthesis, d.a.a.), Early (20 d.a.a.) and Late Maturation (30 d.a.a.) and Desiccation (40 d.a.a.). The analysis of bean proteome was conducted using a gel-free proteomic analysis (LC-MS/MS) under the scope of EU-FP7-PRIME-XS project. A total of 410 unique proteins were differentially expressed throughout the 4 major seed development stages, in which most of the identified proteins belong in the ‘protein metabolism’ (31,98%) functional category, that includes synthesis, regulation, folding. Other functional categories are represented such as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism (11,26%) and stress/defense and redox metabolism (11,04%). We identified 93 proteins were unique to the first (10-20 d.a.a.), 22 to the second (20-30 d.a.a.) and 40 to the last (30-40 d.a.a.) phase transition, reflecting the major biological processes occurring at this specific seed developmental stage. This study will contribute to reveal key metabolic pathways and mechanisms with potential role in modulating common bean seed development and quality traits.
