Transcriptomic analysis of regulatory gene expression profiles by DELLA and LEC1 during embryo development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: To understand how GA functions in regulating embryo development, a genome-wide transcriptomic analysis was carried out using 9DAF seeds dissected from siliques of dellaq (rga28 gai rgl1 rgl2) and the wild-type (col-0-2) grown in full-spectrum white fluorescent light at 22°C under long day conditions (16 h light/8 h dark). Then we found that GA regulates embryo development via DELLA-LEC1interaction, a subsequent genome-wide transcriptomic analysis was carried out using 9DAF seeds dissected from siliques of lec1-4 and the wild-type (col-0-1) in the same growth condition. Basing on the criteria of 1.5-fold cutoff for the genes with 5% false discovery rate, we first identified the differentially expressed genes in dellaq vs col-0-2, lec1-4 vs Col-0-1 subsets, which are referred to as DELLA and LEC1 regulated genes. These data reveal that DELLAs and LEC1 co-target a set of common genes in late embryogenesis, strongly supporting the role of DELLA-LEC1 in embryo development.

Project description:Plant embryos can survive years in a desiccated, quiescent state within seeds. In many species, seeds are dormant and unable to germinate at maturity. They acquire the capacity to germinate through a period of dry storage called after-ripening (AR), a biological process that occurs at 5-15% moisture when most metabolic processes cease. Because stored transcripts will be among the first proteins translated upon water uptake, they likely impact germination potential. Transcriptome changes associated with the increased seed dormancy of the GA-insensitive sly1-2 mutant, and with dormancy loss through sly1-2 after-ripening or constitutive overexpression of the GA receptor (GID1b) were characterized in dry seeds. This experiment used the same seed batches as a previous experiment (E-MTAB-4782) to characterize transcriptional changes associated with the increased seed dormancy and dormancy loss in imbibing seeds. The SLY1 gene encodes the F-box subunit of an SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase needed for GA-triggered proteolysis of DELLA repressors of seed germination. In the sly1-2 mutant, GA-directed DELLA proteolysis cannot occur leading to DELLA protein accumulation and increased dormancy. sly1-2 mutant seeds are fully dormant at 2 weeks of dry storage (0% germination), but germinate well with very long after-ripening (51% germination after 19 months). sly1-2 seed germination can also be rescued by overexpression of the GA receptor, GA-INSENSITIVE DWARF1b (GID1b-OE), which resulted in 74% germination at 2 weeks of dry storage. In this experiment, we sampled dry seeds of wild-type Ler at 2 weeks of dry storage (non-dormant), dormant sly1-2 (2 weeks of dry storage; sly1-2(D)), long after-ripened sly1-2 (non-dormant, 19 months of dry storage; sly1-2(AR)), and sly1-2 GID1b-OE (non-dormant, 2 weeks of dry storage). This experimental design allowed comparison between these transcriptomes in dry seeds to determine if dry seed stored mRNA differences contribute to the dormancy phenotypes observed once seeds are imbibed. Seeds for Ler wt, sly1-2(D), and sly1-2 GID1b-OE were grown alongside each other under the same conditions and after-ripened for 2 weeks. Seeds from sly1-2(AR) were grown under the same conditions in advance of the other lines to allow for the long after-ripening requirement. RNA was extracted using a phenol-chloroform-based extraction from three biological replicates per treatment.
