Direct control of SPEECHLESS by PIF4 in the high temperature response of stomatal development

ABSTRACT: Environmental factors shape the phenotypes of multicellular organisms. The production of stomata—the epidermal pores required for gas exchange in plants—is highly plastic, and provides a powerful platform to address environmental influence on cell differentiation [1-3]. Rising temperatures are already impacting plant growth, a trend expected to worsen in the near future [4]. High temperature inhibits stomatal production but the underlying mechanism is not known [5]. Here, we show that elevated temperature suppresses the expression of SPEECHLESS (SPCH), the bHLH transcription factor that serves as the master regulator of stomatal lineage initiation [6,7]. Our genetic and expression analyses indicate that the suppression of SPCH and stomatal production is mediated by the bHLH transcription factor PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4), a core component of high temperature signaling [8]. Importantly, we demonstrate that upon exposure to high temperature, PIF4 accumulates in the stomatal precursors and binds to the promoter of SPCH. In addition, we find SPCH feeds back negatively to the PIF4 gene. We propose a model where the high temperature-activated PIF4 binds and represses SPCH expression to restrict stomatal production at high temperature. Our work identifies a molecular link connecting high temperature signaling and stomatal development, and reveals a direct mechanism by which production of a specific cell lineage can be controlled by a broadly-expressed environmental signaling factor.

The epidermis coordinates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway

Project description:In plants, an elevation in ambient temperature induces morphological changes including elongation hypocotyls, considered to be adaptive responses to alleviate the heat-induced damages. The high temperature-induced morphological changes are called thermomorphogenesis, which is predominantly regulated by a bHLH transcription factor PIF4. Although PIF4 is expressed in all aerial tissues including the epidermis, mesophyll, and vascular bundle, its tissue-specific functions in thermomorphogenesis are not known. Here, we found that epidermis-specific expression of PIF4 induced constitutive long hypocotyls, while vasculature-specific expression of PIF4 had no effect on hypocotyl growth. Consistently, RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR analyses revealed that auxin responsive genes and growth-related genes were highly activated by epidermal, but not by vascular, PIF4. The epidermal, but not vascular, inactivation of PIF4 by a PIF4 artificial microRNA or a dominant negative form of PIF4 suppressed thermoresponsive gene expression and hypocotyl growth. Additionally, both the block of epidermal auxin signaling and the epidermal overexpression of a thermosensor phytochrome B (phyB) inhibited thermoresponsive growth, indicating that epidermal PIF4-auxin pathway are essential for the temperature responses. We further show that epidermal PIF4 is increased by high temperatures mainly through the transcriptional activation of PIF4. Taken together, our study demonstrates that the epidermis regulates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway.

B-box family proteins BBX18 and BBX23 control thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis

Project description:Plants coordinate their growth and developmental programs with various endogenous signals and environmental challenges such as seasonal and diurnal temperature fluctuations. The bHLH transcription factor PIF4 plays critical roles in thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis, and the evening complex component ELF3 negatively regulates PIF4's activity for downstream gene expression and hypocotyl elongation at elevated temperature. However, how warm temperature signal is transmitted to ELF3 is not known. Here, we report the identification of two B-Box protein BBX18/BBX23 as new regulators of thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis. Mutations of BBX18/BBX23 confer reduced thermoresponsive hypocotyl elongation. Overexpression of BBX18 enhances the sensitivity of hypocotyl growth to elevated temperature, which is dependent on the function of PIF4 and RING E3 ligase COP1, respectively. Both BBX18 and BBX23 interact with ELF3 or COP1, relegating the protein abundance of ELF3 at warm temperature. Further, the expression of multiple thermoresponsive genes is impaired in both the PIF4 single mutant and BBX18/BBX23 double mutant. In addition, both the transcription and protein levels of BBX18/BBX23 are up-regulated by elevated ambient temperature. Thus, our findings reveal the important roles of B-Box proteins in plant thermomorphogenesis, and build a new connection from warm temperature information to ELF3 and its downstream signaling components.

Interactions of ARF6 with PIF4, BZR1, and RGA integrate auxin signaling with environmental and other hormonal signals in Arabidopsis [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Auxin is a major plant hormone for both development and environmental adaptation. Auxin responses are context dependent and highly modulated by light, temperature, the circadian clock, brassinosteroid, and gibberellin, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that auxin signaling integrates with other signals through direct interactions of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR6 (ARF6) with PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR4 (PIF4), the brassinosteroid-signaling transcription factor BZR1, and the gibberellin-signaling repressor RGA. ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq experiments show that ARF6, PIF4, and BZR1 bind to largely overlapping targets in the genome and synergistically activate gene expression. In vitro and in vivo assays show that ARF6-promoter binding is enhanced by PIF4 and BZR1 but blocked by RGA. Furthermore, a tripartite HLH/bHLH module feedback regulates PIF activity and thus modulates auxin sensitivity according to additional developmental and environmental cues. Our results demonstrate a central growth-regulation transcriptional network that coordinates hormonal, environmental, and developmental control of cell elongation and plant growth.

Coordinated histone variant H2A.Z eviction and H3.3 deposition control plant thermomorphogenesis [RNA-seq III]

Project description:Plants can sense temperature changes and adjust their development and morphology accordingly in a process called thermomorphogenesis. This phenotypic plasticity implies complex mechanisms regulating gene expression reprogramming in response to environmental alteration. Histone variants contribute to the chromatin dynamics and transcriptional control, yet how their deposition/eviction modulates transcriptional changes induced by environmental cues remains elusive. In Arabidopsis thaliana, temperature elevation-induced transcriptional activation at thermo-responsive genes entails the chromatin eviction of a histone variant H2A.Z by INO80, which is recruited to these loci via interacting with a key thermomorphogenesis regulator PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4). Here, we show that both INO80 and the deposition chaperones of another histone variant H3.3 associate with EARLY FLOWERING7 (ELF7), a critical component of the transcription elongation factor polymerase-associated factor 1 complex (PAF1c). H3.3 promotes thermomorphogenesis and the high temperature-enhanced RNA Pol II transcription at PIF4 targets, and it is broadly required for the H2A.Z removal-induced gene activation. Reciprocally, INO80 and ELF7 regulate H3.3 deposition, and are necessary for the high temperature-induced H3.3 enrichment at PIF4 targets. Our findings demonstrate close coordination between H2A.Z eviction and H3.3 deposition in gene activation induced by high temperature, and pinpoint the importance of histone variants dynamics in transcriptional regulation.
