Transcriptome and sRNA profiling of Maize dcl5 CRISPR null alleles

ABSTRACT: Small RNAs play important roles during plant development by regulating transcript levels of target mRNAs, maintaining genome integrity, and reinforcing DNA methylation. Dicer-like 5 (Dcl5) is proposed to be responsible for precise slicing to generate diverse 24-nt phased, secondary small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs), which are exceptionally abundant in meiotic anthers of maize, rice, and other grasses 1. Importance and functions of these phasiRNAs remain unclear. Here we used the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) Cas9 system to mutate Dcl5. We report that dcl5 mutants have few or no 24-nt phasiRNAs, develop short anthers and defective tapetal cells, and exhibit temperature-sensitive male fertility. We propose that DCL5 and 24-nt phasiRNAs are critical for fertility under growth regimes for optimal yield.

bHLH cascade regulate 24-nt phasiRNA biogenesis in maize anther

Project description:Anthers are the male reproductive floral organs, but loss of the 24-nt class of phased small-interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) may confer temperature-sensitive male sterility in maize. 24-nt phasiRNAs from 176 loci are abundant coordinately in fertile maize anthers after the last periclinal divisions are complete, all four wall layers are formed, and meiosis has initiated in the pollen mother cells. In this study, we found male sterile maize ms23, ms32, and bhlh122 mutants with various degrees of tapetal defects lack 24-PHAS mRNA precursors and 24-nt phasiRNAs, which were not affected in another male sterile mutant, bhlh51. Transcription from most of 24-PHAS loci depends on bHLH122 while bHLH122 and Dcl5 transcription depends on both Ms23 and Ms32. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that 24-nt phasiRNAs biogenesis is primarily controlled at multiple layers by MS23 and MS32, with distinctive action on 24-PHAS transcription by bHLH122, creating a transcription factor cascade in maize tapetal cells.

Spatiotemporal and cell-type dependent phasiRNA biogenesis in maize male reproduction (PARE)

Project description:Maize anthers, the male reproductive floral organs, express two classes of phased, small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs). RNA profiling from ten sequential cohorts of staged maize anthers plus mature pollen revealed that 21-nt phased siRNAs (21-phasiRNAs) from 463 loci appear abruptly after germinal and initial somatic cell fate specification and then diminish, while 24-nt phased siRNAs (24-phasiRNAs) from 176 loci coordinately accumulate during meiosis and persist as haploid gametophytes differentiate into pollen. RNA sequencing of anther developmental mutants, together with in situ RNA hybridization detection of phasiRNA biogenesis factors, demonstrated that 21-phasiRNAs and 24-phasiRNAs are independently regulated. Furthermore, 21-phasiRNAs require epidermal cells while 24-phasiRNAs require functional tapetal cells. Maize phasiRNAs and mammalian PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) illustrate convergent evolution of small RNAs to support male reproduction.

21-nt phasiRNAs direct target mRNA cleavage in rice male germ cells

Project description:In grasses, phased small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs), 21- or 24-nucleotide (nt) in length, are predominantly expressed in anthers and regulate male fertility. However, their targets and mode of action on the targets remain unknown. Here we profile phasiRNA expression in premeiotic and meiotic spikelets as well as in purified male meiocytes at early prophase I, tetrads and microspores in rice. We show that 21-nt phasiRNAs are most abundant in meiocytes at early prophase I while 24-nt phasiRNAs are more abundant in tetrads and microspores. By performing highly sensitive degradome sequencing, we find that 21-nt phasiRNAs direct target mRNA cleavage in male germ cells, especially in meiocytes at early prophase I. The target genes in early prophase I meiocytes show an enrichment for carbohydrate biosynthetic and metabolic pathways. Our study provides strong evidence that 21-nt phasiRNAs act in a target-cleavage mode and may facilitate the progression of meiosis by fine-tuning carbohydrate biosynthesis and metabolism in male germ cells.

24-nt phasiRNAs move from tapetal to meiotic cells in maize anthers

Project description:In maize, 24-nt phased, secondary small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) are abundant in meiotic stage anthers, but their distribution and functions are not precisely known. Using laser capture microdissection (LCM), we analyzed tapetal cells, meiocytes, and other somatic cells at several stages of anther development to establish the timing of 24-PHAS precursor transcripts and the 24-nt phasiRNA products. This dataset includes 24-nt phasiRNA part of data. 24-nt phasiRNAs are found to accumulate in all cell types, with the highest levels in meiocytes, followed by tapetum.
