Despite the abundance of phosphorus in soil, very little is available as phosphate (Pi) for plants. Plants often experience low Pi (LP) stress. Intensive studies have been conducted to reveal the mechanism used by plants to deal with LP; however, Pi sensing and signal transduction pathways are not fully understood. Using in-gel kinase assays, we determined the activities of MPK3 and MPK6 in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings under both LP and Pi-sufficient (Murashige and Skoog, MS) conditions. Using ...[more]

Project description:Pi availability is a significant limiting factor for plant growth in both natural and agricultural systems. To cope with such limiting conditions, plants have adapted developmental and biochemical strategies to enhance Pi acquisition and to avoid starvation. A myriad of genes that are involved in the regulation and display of these strategies have been identified. However, the possible epigenetic components regulating the phosphate starvation responses have not been thoroughly investigated. DNA methylation is a major epigenetic mark involved in diverse biological processes and it may play a critical role in Pi starvation stress adaptation, also changes in DNA methylation can lead to a unique gene expression pattern in response to specific developmental and environmental conditions. Here in we demonstrate that non-CpG DNA methylation is required for proper expression of a number of Pi-limitation responsive genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and results in altered morphologic and physiologic phosphate starvation responses.Our data suggest that DNA methylation is involved in the modulation of Pi starvation responses via the transcriptional regulation of a set of phosphate-starvation responsive genes.

Project description:Maize is a globally important food and feed crop, and a low-phosphate (Pi) supply in the soil frequently limits maize yield in many areas. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the development and adaptation of plants to the environment. In this study, the spatio-temporal miRNA transcript profiling of the maize inbred line Q319 root and leaf in response to low Pi was analyzed with high-throughput sequencing technologies, and the expression patterns of certain target genes were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Complex small RNA populations were detected after low-Pi culture and displayed different patterns in the root and leaf. miRNAs identified as responding to Pi deficiency can be grouped into ‘early’ miRNAs that respond rapidly, and often non-specifically, to Pi deficiency, and ‘late’ miRNAs that alter the morphology, physiology or metabolism of plants upon prolonged Pi deficiency. The miR827-Nitrogen limitation adaptation (NLA)-mediated post-transcriptional pathway was conserved in response to Pi availability of maize, but the miR399-mediated post-transcriptional pathway was different from Arabidopsis. Abiotic stress-related miRNAs engaged in interactions of different signaling and/or metabolic pathways. Auxin-related miRNAs (zma-miR393, zma-miR160a/b/c, zma-miR160d/e/g, zma-miR167a/b/c/d and zma-miR164a/b/c/d/g) and their targets play important roles in promoting primary root growth, inhibiting lateral root development and retarding upland growth of maize when subjected to low Pi. The changes in expression of miRNAs and their target genes suggest that the miRNA regulation/alterations compose an important mechanism in the adaptation of maize to a low-Pi environment; certain miRNAs participate in root architecture modification via the regulation of auxin signaling. A complex regulatory mechanism of miRNAs in response to a low-Pi environment exists in maize, revealing obvious differences from that in Arabidopsis. Maize (Zea mays L.) inbred line Q319 was used in this study. Seeds of the maize inbred line Q319 were surface sterilized and held at 28°C in darkness. Seedlings (4 days old) were transferred to a sufficient phosphate (SP, 1,000 μM KH2PO4) solution (Ca(NO3)2.4H2O 2 mM, NH4NO3 1.25 mM, KCl 0.1 mM, K2SO4 0.65 mM, MgSO4 0.65 mM, H3BO3 10.0 mM, (NH4)6Mo7O24 0.5 mM, MnSO4 1.0 mM, CuSO4.5H2O 0.1 mM, ZnSO4.7H2O 1.0 mM, Fe-EDTA 0.1 mM), allowed to grow for 4 days (plants with 2–3 leaves). After 2-3 days of re-culturing in SP nutrient solutions, half of the seedlings were transplanted into a low phosphate (LP, same composition as the SP solution, except that 5 μM KH2PO4 and 1 mM KH2PO4 were replaced with 1 mM KCl) nutrient solution. The plants were grown under a 32°C/25°C (day/night) temperature regime at a photon flux density (PFD) of 700 μmol m-2 s-1 with a 14 h/10 h light/dark cycle in a greenhouse with approximately 65% relative humidity. The roots and leaves were then harvested at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 days and 8 days and cultured in SP solution (as a normal growth control) for small RNA analysis. The samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately and stored at -80℃ for further analysis. Each biological repeat contains segments from 15~20 plants. Total RNA was extracted as previously described in Molecular Cloning (Sambrook and Russell David, 1989) and was then subjected to two additional chloroform washes prior to nucleic acid precipitation. The small RNA digitalization analysis based on HiSeq high-throughput sequencing takes the SBS-sequencing by synthesis. Then the 50nt sequence tags from HiSeq sequencing will go through the data cleaning first, which includes getting rid of the low quality tags and several kinds of contaminants from the 50nt tags. Length distribution of clean tags are then summarized. Afterwards, the standard bioinformatics analysis will annotate the clean tags into different categories and take those which can not be annotated to any category to predict the novel miRNA and base edit of potential known miRNA. Compare the known miRNA expression between two samples to find out the differentially expressed miRNA. The procedures are shown as below: (1)Normalize the expression of miRNA in two samples (control and treatment) to get the expression of transcript per million (TPM). Normalization formula: Normalized expression = Actual miRNA count/Total count of clean reads*1000000 (2)Calculate fold-change and P-value from the normalized expression. Then generate the log2ratio plot and scatter plot.

Project description:Multiple transcription factors (TFs) play essential roles in plants under abiotic stress, one of the most challenging conditions of plant survival. However, how these multiple TFs cooperate in abiotic stress responses still remains largely unknown. In this study, we provide evidence that a novel NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factor (ANAC096) cooperates with bZIP-type TFs [ABRE-binding factor/ABRE-binding protein (ABF/AREB)] in ensuring survival under dehydration and osmotic stress conditions. Intriguingly, ANAC096 directly interacted with ABF2 and ABF4, but not with ABF3, both in vitro and in vivo. ANAC096 and ABF2 synergistically activated RD29A transcription. The genome-wide gene expression analysis revealed that a major proportion of ABA-responsive genes are under the transcriptional regulation of ANAC096.An Arabidopsis mutant, anac096, was hyposensitive to exogenous abscisic acid (ABA), and showed impaired ABA-induced stomatal closure and increased water loss under dehydration stress conditions. Furthermore, the anac096 abf2 abf4 triple mutant was much more sensitive to dehydration and osmotic stresses than the anac096 single mutant or the abf2 abf4 double-mutant. Based on these results, we propose that ANAC096 is involved in a synergistic relationship with a subset of ABFs for the transcriptional activation of ABA-inducible genes in response to dehydration and osmotic stresses. pTA plants (12-day-old) cultured in liquid medium were treated with 30 uM Dex alone for 1 h (Control) or 30 uM Dex alone for 30 min followed by an additional treatment of 30 min with both 30 uM Dex and 2 uM ABA (ABA). For pTA-ANAC096 plants, 12-day-old seedlings were treated with 30 uM Dex for 1 h (ANAC096) or with 30 uM Dex only for 0.5 h followed by additional 0.5 h incubation with both 2 uM ABA and 30 uM Dex (ANAC096+ABA). Total RNAs were isolated from two biological replicates at each condition and used to measure gene expression level.

Project description:A glucocorticoid-regulated BBM protein (35S:BBM-GR) was used in combination with microarray analysis to identify genes directly activated by BBM. We employed the system described by (Lloyd et al., 1994) in which dexamethasone (DEX) and cycloheximide (CHX) are applied together to respectively, induce nuclear localization of the BBM-GR protein and prevent translation of the primary targets mRNAs. In this way it is possible to identify direct targets of a transcriptional activator by comparing gene expression profiles between DEX+CHX-treated transgenic and wild-type tissues. The ability of the 35S:BBM GR construct to induce somatic embryogenesis in Arabidopsis seedlings was determined by phenotypic observation of 35S:BBM GR seeds germinated and grown in the presence of 10 µM dexamethasone (DEX). As in 35S:BBM seedlings, we observed somatic embryo formation on the cotyledons, first leaves and shoot meristem of DEX-treated 35S:BBM GR seedlings. We identified a set of 20 genes (including BBM itself) and our analysis indicates that BBM directly activates a signaling pathway comprising transcription factors and other signaling molecules, but which does not initially include genes known to induce somatic embryogenesis, such as LEC1, LEC2 or WUS. The functions of the BBM target genes are unknown, however a number of them have recently been identified in microarray screens for meristem-expressed genes. The identification of BBM-interacting partners and downstream targets provides new tools for unraveling pathways related to plant cell growth and organogenesis. Keywords: transcriptional activation To identify candidate BBM targets, we treated 4 day old 35S:BBM-GR seedlings for 8 hours with 10 µM DEX in the presence of 10 µM CHX and compared the mRNA population from these seedlings using Arabidopsis Operon microarrays (http://www.ag.arizona.edu/microarray/) to that of 4 day old wild-type seedlings treated in the same way. The seed batches used in this analysis showed 100% EFS when grown continuously on media with 10 µM DEX. Four day old seedlings were chosen as the experimental material because they are highly responsive to BBM GR activation and provide sufficient RNA for the microarray experiments. The biological reproducibility of the data was monitored using two independent single locus 35S:BBM GR lines. The technical reproducibility of the data was monitored using two independently DEX + CHX-treated samples from each transgenic line. Dye effects were monitored in a dye-swap experiment using one of the four RNA samples from the two biological replicates

Project description:ABI3 is a key regulator of seed development in Arabidopsis and other plants.To identify genes regulated by ABI3 we performed array based transcriptome analysis of Dexamethasone inducible ABI3 transgenic seedlings. ABI3 mostly in concert with abscisic acid (ABA) was found to activate genes specifically expressed during the maturation phase of seed development. Two weeks old wildtype and 35S::ABI3::GR seedlings were treated with ABA, Dexamethasone (DEX) and ABA plus Dexamethasone for 4 h. Two biological independent experiments were performed. Wildtype was induced to control for DEX-induction of genes.

Project description:The embryonic temporal regulator FUSCA3 (FUS3) plays major roles in the establishment of embryonic leaf identity and regulation of developmental timing. Loss-of-function mutations of this B3-domain transcription factor result in replacement of cotyledons with leaves and precocious germination, while constitutive misexpression causes the conversion of leaves into cotyledon-like organs and delays vegetative and reproductive phase transitions. To identify downstream targets of FUS3 involved in vegetative phase transitions, we performed microarray analysis on seedlings that transiently activate FUS3 using the AtML1:FUS3-GR-DEX inducible system. Using this construct, FUS3 is ectopically expressed in the ML1 or epidermal layer and becomes activated upon addition of dexamethasone. We found that activation of FUS3 after germination dampens the expression of genes involved in the biosynthesis and response to the plant hormone ethylene, while a loss-of-function fus3 mutant shows many phenotypes consistent with increased ethylene signaling. This FUS3-dependent regulation of ethylene signaling also impinges on timing functions outside of embryogenesis. Loss of FUS3 function results in accelerated vegetative phase change and this is again partially dependent on functional ethylene action. This alteration in vegetative phase transition is dependent on both embryonic and vegetative FUS3 function, suggesting that this important transcriptional regulator controls both embryonic and vegetative developmental timing. This study indicates that the embryonic regulator FUS3 not only regulates the embryonic-to-vegetative phase transition through hormonal regulation, but also functions postembryonically to modulate vegetative phase transitions by negatively regulating ethylene action.
