MtBZR1 plays an important role in nodule development in Medicago truncatula

ABSTRACT: Brassinosteroid (BR) is an essential hormone in plant growth and development. BR signaling pathway has been extensively studied, in which Brassinazole resistant 1 (BZR1) functions as a key regulator. Here, we carried out a functional study of the homolog of BZR1 in Medicago truncatula, whose expression was induced in nodules upon rhizobial inoculation. We identified a loss-of-function mutant mtbzr1-1 and generated 35S:MtBZR1 transgenic lines for further analysis at the genetic level. Both the mutant and the overexpressor lines of MtBZR1 showed no obvious phenotypic changes under normal growth condition. After rhizobial inoculation, however, the shoot and root dry mass was reduced in mtbzr1-1 compared with the wild-type, caused by partially impaired nodule development. The transcriptomic analysis identified 1,319 differentially expressed genes in mtbzr1-1 compared with wild-type, many of which are involved in nodule development and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Our results demonstrate an essential role of MtBZR1 in nodule development in M. truncatula, shedding light on the potential role of BR in legume-rhizobium symbiosis.

Expression data of Nodule Cysteine-Rich (NCR) Defensin-Like (DEFL) genes in different stages of nodule development in Medicago truncatula

Project description:We have undertaken a detailed study to identify mechanisms regulating expression of NCRs. We used a custom Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarray to examine the expression changes of 566 NCRs in different stages of nodule development. Additionally, rhizobial mutants were used to understand the importance of the rhizobial components in induction of NCRs. Early NCRs were detected during the initial infection of rhizobia in nodules and continue to be expressed into the late stages of nodule development. Late NCRs were induced concomittant with bacteroid development in the nodules. The induction of these groups of genes was correlated with the number and morphology of rhizobia in the nodule. We used a custom Affymetrix chip containing 684 probe sequences of Medicago DEFLs to explore the expression patterns of NCRs in nodules inoculated with Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021(Sm1021) at marked developmental stages and nodules inoculated with various mutants derived from Sm1021 totalling 14 different treatments. Each treatment was supported by three biological replicates giving a grand total of 42 samples.

Hydrogen peroxide positively regulates brassinosteroid signaling through oxidation of the BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT1 transcription factor

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important signaling molecule in plant developmental processes and stress responses. However, whether H2O2-mediated signaling can crosstalk with plant hormone signaling is largely unclear. Here, we show that H2O2 induces oxidation of the BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT1 (BZR1) transcription factor, which functions as a master regulator of Brassinosteroid (BR) signaling. Oxidative modification enhances BZR1 transcriptional activity by promoting its interaction with regulators of auxin- and light-signaling, including AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR6 (ARF6) and PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR4 (PIF4). Genome-wide analysis shows that H2O2-dependent regulation of BZR1 activity plays a major role in modifying gene expression related to several BR-mediated biological processes. Furthermore, we show that the thioredoxin TRXh5 can interact with, and catalyze reduction of, BZR1. We conclude that reversible oxidation of BZR1 connects H2O2- and thioredoxin-mediated redox signaling to BR signaling to regulate plant development

NODULE INCEPTION recruits the lateral root developmental program for symbiotic nodule organogenesis

Project description:In order to better understand the commonalities and differences in lateral root and nodule development, we compared their organogenesis and correlated this with changes in gene expression. To initiate lateral roots in Medicago truncatula we turned 2-day-old seedlings 135°, before returning them to their original axis of growth, while for nodule initiation we applied droplets of Sinorhizobium meliloti on the susceptibility zone of the root.

BIC1 acts as a transcriptional coactivator to promote brassinosteroid signaling and plant 14 1 growth

Project description:The BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1 (BZR1) transcription factor family plays an essential role in plant brassinosteroid (BR) signaling, but the signaling mechanism through which BZR1 and its homologs cooperate with certain coactivators to facilitate transcription of target genes remains incompletely understood. In this study, we used an efficient protein interaction screening system to identify blue-light inhibitor of cryptochromes 1 (BIC1) as a new BZR1-interacting protein in Arabidopsis thaliana. We show that BIC1 positively regulates BR signaling and acts as a transcriptional coactivator for BZR1-dependent activation of BR-responsive genes. Simultaneously, BIC1 interacts with the transcription factor PIF4 to synergistically and interdependently activate expression of downstream genes including PIF4 itself, and to promote plant growth. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrate that BIC1 and BZR1/PIF4 interdependently associate with the promoters of common target genes. In addition, we show that the interaction between BIC1 and BZR1 is evolutionally conserved in the model monocot plant Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). Together, our results reveal mechanistic details of BR signaling mediated by a transcriptional activation module BIC1/BZR1/PIF4 and thus provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the integration of BR and light signaling in plants.

Transcriptomic profiling of CRISPR/Cas9-generated mutant of Marchantial polymorpha BES1 transcription factor (Mpbes1)

Project description:Brassinosteroid hormones are essential for growth and development in seed plants. In Arabidopsis, transcriptional factors from the AtBES1 (BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR1)/AtBZR1 (BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1) family, are main regulators of steroid phytohormone Brassinosteroids, which finely coordinate gene expression. While genome sequence analysis in Marchantia polymorpha failed to identify BR receptors homologues to the BRI1-family, a homologue of downstream BR-regulated BES1/BZR1 transcription factors is present. Here, we decipher the biological function of MpBES1 in liverwort. Mpbes1 knock out plants have impaired thallus development, pointing up the conservation of BES1 function in organ development. RNAseq analysis of Mpbes1 reveals a prominent deregulation of oxidation processes, responses to stress and carbohydrate metabolism. Furthermore, in the Arabidopsis orthologs of Mpbes1 deregulated genes, described targets of AtBES1/BZR1 are overrepresented, suggesting a major conservation in the signaling module. In conclusion, this study unravels the origin of BES1/BZR1 family of transcriptional factors in plant cell division.

Brassinosteroid mutant (bzr1-1D and det2) analysis

Project description:Brassinosteroid (BR) homeostasis and signaling are crucial for normal growth and development of plants. BR signaling through cell-surface receptor kinases and intracellular components leads to dephosphorylation and accumulation of the nuclear protein BZR1. How BR signaling regulates gene expression, however, remains unknown. Here we show that BZR1 is a transcriptional repressor that has a previously unknown DNA binding domain and binds directly to the promoters of feedback-regulated BR biosynthetic genes. To identify additional BZR1-regulated genes and to understand the BR-regulated transcriptional pathways, we examined the effects of bzr1-1D and det2 mutations on the expression of BR-regulated genes by using the Arabidopsis full-genome oligo microarray (Affymetrix). Microarray analyses identified additional potential targets of BZR1 and illustrated, together with physiological studies, that BZR1 coordinates BR homeostasis and signaling by playing dual roles in regulating BR biosynthesis and downstream growth responses.

The single-cell transcriptome program of nodule development cellular lineages in Medicago truncatula

Project description:Medicago truncatula engages in root nodule symbiosis by developing a de novo plant organ (known as nodule) in its roots in response to the infection by rhizobia. These nodules are de novo plant organs that provide an optimal environment for the rhizobia to fix nitrogen in exchange for photosynthates. The establishment of root nodule symbioses (RNS) requires the coordination of two distinct processes: bacterial infection and nodule organogenesis. In this study we used single-cell RNA-seq to investigate the first hours of the establishment of the root nodule symbiosis aiming to identify the transcriptional mechanisms governing this process.

Temporal changes in the transcriptome (RNA-seq) and genome-wide chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq) after Sinorhizobium meliloti LCO treatment, in Medicago truncatula roots

Project description:The extend of chromatin accessibility changes and its consequent impact on the transcriptional control of rhizobial infection, colonization, and nodule development, remain unknown. This understanding requires that the dynamic behavior of gene expression and chromatin accessibility be quantified. Thus, we uncovered the gene regulatory network in response to LCOs in M. truncatula roots by quantifying temporal changes in the transcriptome (RNA-seq) and genome-wide chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq) after Sinorhizobium meliloti LCO treatment.
