Genetic networks regulating structure and function of the maize shoot apical meristem

ABSTRACT: The shoot apical meristem (SAM) of plants, a specialized stem cell niche at the growing shoot tip, integrates developmental and environmental signals to direct the initiation and patterning of new organs such as leaves. Its activity throughout the plant's lifetime is tightly controlled. To gain insight into gene regulatory networks behind stem cell maintenance and organogenesis, we generated a high-resolution gene expression atlas of distinct domains and cell types within the vegetative shoot apex of 14 day-old maize B73 seedlings using laser microdissection and RNA deep sequencing. Data for 9 domains was previously released under SRA: SRP101301. This release adds data for biological duplicate samples collected for the SAM central zone, and the adaxial and abaxial sides of leaf primordia.

Expression profiling of shoot apices of 35S::WOX1:GR seedlings transiently treated with DEX

Project description:The WOX1 transcription factor is a multifunctional regulator of lateral-organ development that acts as a transcriptional repressor. WOX1 promotes lamina growth, controls marginal tissue differentiation and is involved in establishment and maintenance of the adaxial-abaxial pattern from the middle domain of leaf primordia. To identify the WOX1 downstream genes, we performed a microarray analysis of shoot apices of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana lines harboring 35S::WOX1:glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in which the WOX1 function was temporarily enhanced by dexamethasone (DEX).

Leaf margins of indeterminate Arabidopsis leaves

Project description:Leaves are flat determinate organs derived from indeterminate shoot apical meristems. The presence of a specific leaf meristem is debated, as anatomical features typical of meristems are not present in leaves. Here we demonstrate that multiple NGATHA (NGA) and CINCINNATA-class-TCP (CIN-TCP) transcription factors act redundantly to suppress activity of a leaf margin meristem in Arabidopsis thaliana, and that their absence confers persistent marginal growth of leaves, cotyledons and floral organs. The marginal meristem is activated by the juxtaposition of adaxial and abaxial domains and maintained by WOX homeobox transcription factors, but other margin elaboration genes are dispensable for its maintenance. This genetic framework parallels the morphogenetic program of shoot apical meristems and may represent a relic from an ancestral shoot system from which seed plant leaves evolved.

Defying Gravity: WEEP promotes negative gravitropism in Prunus persica by establishing asymmetric auxin gradients

Project description:Trees with weeping shoot architectures are valued for their beauty and are a resource for understanding how plants regulate posture control. The Prunus persica (peach) weeping phenotype, which has elliptical downward arching branches, is caused by a homozygous mutation in the WEEP gene. Until now, little was known about the function of WEEP protein despite its high conservation throughout Plantae. Here, we present the results of anatomical, biochemical, biomechanical, physiological, and molecular experiments that provide insight into WEEP function. Our data suggest that weeping peach trees do not have defects in branch structure. Rather, transcriptomes from the adaxial (upper) and abaxial (lower) sides of standard and weeping branch shoot tips revealed flipped expression patterns for genes associated with early auxin response, tissue patterning, cell elongation, and tension wood development. This suggests that WEEP promotes polar auxin transport toward the lower side during shoot gravitropic response, leading to cell elongation and tension wood development. In addition, weeping peach trees exhibited steeper root systems and faster lateral root gravitropic response. This suggests that WEEP moderates root gravitropism and is essential to establishing the set-point angle of lateral roots from the gravity vector. Additionally, size-exclusion chromatography indicated that WEEP proteins self-oligomerize, like other proteins with sterile alpha motif domains. Collectively, our results from weeping peach provide new insight into polar auxin transport mechanisms associated with gravitropism and lateral shoot and root orientation.

CRABS CLAW positively regulates genes involved in the establishment of both abaxial and adaxial identity in Arabidopsis

Project description:CRABS CLAW (CRC) encodes a transcription factor of the plant-specific YABBY class in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This gene is highly expressed in the abaxial (external) domain of the gynoecium wall and contributes to the establishment of abaxial-adaxial (external-internal) polarity in that tissue. Here we derive a list of putative target genes of CRC, which include AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR4 (ARF4) and ASSYMETRIC LEAVES1 (AS1), both of which are known to be involved in the establishment of abaxial-adaxial polarity in lateral organs. ETTIN (ETT), which is partially redundant with ARF4, was not identified as a direct target of CRC, and this observation led us to predict that crc/ett double mutants might resemble ett/arf4 double mutants, which show a very strong breakdown of abaxial-adaxial polarity in the gynoecium wall. We have confirmed this prediction by constructing double mutants using several available mutant alleles of crc, ett and arf4. Interestingly, AS1 plays a role in the establishment of adaxial tissue identity in lateral organs, though its expression is not restricted to the adaxial domain. The observed positive regulation of AS1 by CRC may thus occur very early in gynoecium development, before CRC expression becomes polarised, or at later stages of development, specifically in the abaxial domain.

Transcriptome analyses of ragged seedling2 shoot apical meristem (SAM) vs non-mutant SAM

Project description:The recessive mutation ragged seedling2-R (rgd2-R) conditions defective lateral development of maize leaves. Although dorsiventral patterning is established in rgd2-R mutant leaves, some swapping of adaxial/abaxial epidermal identity may occur. Molecular analyses indicate that RGD2 is required for the coordination of dorsiventral and lateral patterning during maize leaf development, yet the RGD2 gene product and the mechanisms of RGD2 function are unknown. In order to investigate the genetic mechanisms downstream of RGD2 gene function, SAM-specific transcriptional profiling of rgd2-R is compared to that of nonmutant using laser microdissection microarray. Whole SAMs were laser-microdissected from rgd2-R mutant and non-mutant seedlings grown under the same controlled conditions. Microarray profiles were generated for 28,671 maize cDNAs contained on gene chips SAM 1.1and SAM 3.0 (http://www.plantgenomics.iastate.edu/maizechip/). Two-condition experiment, rgd2 SAM vs non-mutant SAM cells. 6 Biological replicates with dye swap. One replicate per array.

Gene Expression between two cell layers in maize shoot apical meristem

Project description:All above ground organs of higher plants are ultimately derived from shoot apical meristems (SAMs). The SAM exhibits distinctive structural organization, and monocot SAMs such as maize are comprised of two cell layers, a single cell layered tunica (L1) and a corpus (L2). Although recent research has revealed roles of these cell layers in the SAM, intra- and inter-cell-layer signaling networks involved in organ development remain largely unknown except for a few differentially expressed genes. Here, we used Illumnia technology to conduct RNA-seq of L1 and L2 cell layers in maize B73 maize shoot apical meristem.
