Project description:In the current project, we aimed to discover how the barley anther proteome changes, both quantitatively and qualitatively, during meiotic prophase I when the important process of homologous recombination is taking place. Taking advantage of a recently published barley anther transcriptomic dataset (BAnTr) and a newly developed sensitive mass spectrometry-based approach to analyse barley anther proteome, we have conducted high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of barley anthers, collected at 6 time points and representing their development from pre-meiosis to metaphase. Each time point was carefully staged using immunocytology. We identified >6400 proteins, including 82 known and putative meiotic proteins, and were able to quantify dynamic variation in the proteome during different stages of barley anther development.

Project description:Transcriptomes from multiple pre-meiotic stages of wild type, mac1, and msca1 maize anthers were characterized by microarray hybridization. The goal was to characterize the developmental progression as the anther specifies five cell types and grows rapidly precedeing meiotic entry. The stages characterized were immature anther primordia (0.15 mm long in maize) containing just stem cells, through somatic and germinal cell fate specification (0.20 and 0.25 mm), mitotic proliferation (0.4 mm), and finally the birth of the middle layer and tapetum (0.7 mm). To obtain cell-type specific markers, at 0.7 mm we also compared whole anthers to collections of laser-microdissected anther cell types including the archesporial cells (pre-meiotic germinal cells), nutritive layers (middle layer and tapetum) and structural layers (endothecium and epidemis) of the anther lobe. keyword: anther development, maize, male-sterile

The first loop had 0.2 mm long anthers and compared wild type versus mac1 mutant versus msca1 mutant in a three vertex loop design. The second loop had four vertices and compared 0.15 mm WT anther primordia, 0.25 mm WT anthers, 0.4 mm WT anthers and finally 0.4 mm mac1 mutant anthers. The third had 0.7 mm anthers in a three vertex loop with the nutritive layers (middle layer and tapetum) at one vertex, the germinal pre-meiotic cells at another vertex, and whole anthers at a third vertex. The whole anther samples were also, separately and outside of the loop, compared in four replicates to the structural layers (endothecium and epidermis).

Project description:Agilent oligonucleotide arrays were used to profile gene expression in dissected maize anthers of 3 types of male-sterile plants and their fertile siblings at four stages of development: after anther initiation, at the rapid mitotic proliferation stage, pre-meiosis, and meiotic prophase I. The male-sterile mutants (ms23, msca, and mac1) lack a range of normal cell types resulting from a temporal progression of anther failure. By combining the data sets from the comparisons between individual sterile and fertile anthers, candidate genes predicted to play important roles during maize anther development were assigned to stages and to likely cell types.

Project description:We describe here a new micro-proteomics workflow for the analysis of individual barley anthers. The workflow detects more than 4000 proteins from small amounts of material representing single or paired anther samples, covering a dynamic range of protein expression levels across five orders of magnitude. We consistently identified ~2800 proteins in a single 0.6mm anther and ~4000 proteins in a paired-anther sample. This demonstrates an important technological advance in plant proteomics, considering the limited amount of starting material. We employed our micro-proteomics workflow to investigate the proteome of the developing barley anther containing male gametes in the early stages of meiosis. We successfully identified several low abundant meiosis-related proteins, proving that our approach is highly sensitive and consequently powerful. To date, no work has been published previously on precisely staged individual plant anthers.

Project description:Purpose: To study pre-meiotic (21-nt) and meiotic (24-nt) phasiRNA pathways in non-grass monocots Methods: Anthers were dissected using a 2 mm stage micrometer in a stereo microscope, and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until total RNA isolation was performed. Small RNA, mRNA libraries were generated using short-read (Illumina) and Single Molecule Real Time SMRT (PacBio) sequencing approaches. Stages were assigned based on the morphology of archesporial (AR) and tapetal cells of Lilium anthers.

Project description:Evidence from confocal microscopic reconstruction of maize anther development in fertile, mac1 (excess germ cells) and msca1 (no germ cells) flowers indicates that the male germ line is multiclonal and uses the MAC1 protein to organize the somatic niche. Furthermore, we identified redox status as a determinant of germ cell fate, defining a mechanism distinct from the animal germ cell lineage. Decreasing oxygen or H2O2 increases germ cell numbers, stimulates superficial germ cell formation, and rescues germinal differentiation in msca1 flowers. Conversly, oxidizing environments inhibit germ cell specification and cause ectopic differentiation in deeper tissues. We propose that hypoxia, arising naturally within growing anther tissue, acts as a positional cue to set germ cell fate. key words: anther development, maize, male-sterile Two replicates of laser microdissected pre-meiotic cells were compared to two replicates of whole anthers, which contains pre-meiotic cells and somatic cells, from the same developmental stage and individual wild type plants. In another experiment, laser microdissected pre-meiotic cells from wild type (mac1-heterozygous) anthers were compared to laser microdissected pre-meiotic cells from mac1 (mutant) anthers.
