Cellular trajectory analysis links tissue maturation to cellular specialization in the plant meristem

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms that allow cells in the plant meristem to coordinate tissue-wide maturation gradients with specialized cell networks are critical for indeterminate growth. Here, we combine long-term imaging, single-cell transcriptomics, genetic analysis, and network modeling to reconstruct the differentiation trajectory of the 20 protophloem cells in the Arabidopsis root. We found that lineage bifurcation and cellular specification are mediated near the stem cell niche by PEAR regulators. However, many PEAR downstream effects are repressed by a broad gradient of PLETHORA transcription factors, which directly inhibit PEARs’ own direct target APL until dissipating seven cells from the stem cell niche. Modeling and molecular epistasis suggest a so-called “seesaw” cascade of sharp transitions in which transcription factors regulating consecutive steps mutually inhibit each other’s targets, ending in programmed enucleation. This analysis provides a mechanistic understanding of how morphogen-like maturation gradients interface with cell-type specific transcriptional regulators to stage cellular differentiation

The search of genetic resources for parthenocarpic pears and comparison of gene expression between high and low parthenocarpy cultivars

Project description:Parthenocarpy—the production of seedless fruits without fertilization—is very useful for fruit cultivation. Among pear cultivars (Japanese, Chinese, and European pears and their interspecific hybrids) subjected to flower emasculation and left unpollinated, only some of the European pears had a stable and high degree of fruit set and fruit enlargement. Almost all the enlarged fruits formed no seeds. Comparison of fruits produced by using emasculation without pollination or with self-pollination ruled out the possibility of stenospermocarpy in these parthenocarpic pears. The results suggested that the abovementioned characteristics were inherited maternally by the next generation and that it should be possible to introduce parthenocarpy into Japanese pears. Neither Chinese nor Japanese pears treated with emasculation and no pollination showed consistently stable fruit set or fruit enlargement. In Chinese pears, these characteristics varied greatly from year to year, and in Japanese pears they were stable but weak. Although in each cultivar highly parthenocarpic fruits weighed slightly less than cross-pollinated ones, the cortexes of the emasculated fruits were enlarged and the fruits were not greatly inferior to those of cross-pollinated ones. By using a customized pear cDNA microarray, we compared the gene expression profiles of highly and weakly parthenocarpic cultivars before flowering. Expression of several phenylpropanoid-related genes and photosystem-related genes differed significantly between the two groups. Some of these genes were contained in the chloroplast genome. These results showed the unique mechanism of genetic parthenocarpy in pome fruits as opposed to non-pome fruits. The gene expression profiles between high and low parthenocarpy group before flowering were compared.

Mobile PEAR transcription factors integrate hormone and miRNA cues to prime cambial growth

Project description:In addition to apical growth, plants undergo radial growth to increase girth, a particularly prominent feature in trees. During both apical and radial growth the phytohormones auxin and cytokinins form symmetries that govern further growth patterns. But whereas the gene regulatory networks interpreting the hormonal fields during apical growth are well established, such networks are not known for the radial growth. We show here that the initiation of radial growth occurs around early protophloem sieve element (PSE) cell files of the root procambial tissue in Arabidopsis. In this domain cytokinin signalling promotes expression of a pair of novel mobile transcription factors, PHLOEM EARLY DOF (PEAR1, PEAR2) and their four homologs (OBP2, DOF6, TMO6 and HCA2), collectively called PEAR proteins. The PEAR proteins form a short-range concentration gradient peaking at PSE and activating gene expression that promotes radial growth. The expression and function of PEAR proteins are antagonized by well-established polarity transcription factors, HD-ZIP III, whose expression is concentrated in the more internal domain of radially non-dividing procambial cells by the function of auxin and mobile miR165/166. The PEAR proteins locally promote transcription of their inhibitory HD-ZIP III genes, thereby establishing a negative feedback loop that forms a sharp boundary demarking the zone of cell divisions. Taken together, we have established a network, in which the PEAR - HD-ZIP III module integrates the spatial information of the hormonal domains and miRNA gradients during root procambial development, to provide a pre-pattern with actively dividing and more quiescent zones, thus priming radial growth.

Transcriptomic signatures and chromatin structure in adipocytes isolated from premenauposal women subcutaneous fat [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Our data showed that lipid and glucose metabolic pathways genes were expressed at higher levels in gluteofemoral adipocyte fraction in pears, while genes associated with inflammation were higher in both abdominal and gluteofemoral apple adipocyte fraction. Gluteofemoral adipocyte chromatin from pear-shaped women contained a significantly higher number of differentially open ATAC-seq peaks relative to chromatin from the apple-shaped gluteofemoral adipocytes. In contrast, abdominal adipocyte chromatin openness showed few differences between apple and pear-shaped women. We revealed a correlation between gene transcription and open chromatin at the proximity of the TSS of some of the differentially expressed genes.

Project description:Meyerozyma guilliermondii, which was isolated from pears by our laboratory, M. guilliermondii had a significant effect on the induction of several defense-related genes compared to the control. It revealed the defense response mechanism of pears by transcriptomics, and investigated the function of more defense-related genes in pears.

Transcriptome changes associated with boron applications in pear fruit

Project description:To uncover the mechanisms underlying pear fruit response to boron application, a comprehensive transcriptome analysis was performed. Boron application significantly induced expression of sorbitol metabolism and sucrose metabolism genes.Boron application also increased the expression of starch degradation, fatty acid synthesis, IAA degradation, GA synthesis and inhibit the expression of ethylene synthesis gene.

Spatial transcriptomic profiling reveals local and domain-establishing regulatory signaling networks within the bone marrow

Project description:The application of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to the bone field has led to significant advancements in our understanding of skeletal stem cell (SSC) heterogeneity, yet disparity remains in the characterization of these cells in the context of their native environment. To resolve these limitations, we combined scRNAseq and spatial transcriptomics in adult femurs to provide endogenous, in vivo context. First, predictive modeling was used to determine the spatial location of SSCs within the bone marrow. These results localized CXCL12-abundant reticular cells to the bone marrow, while PDGFRα+SCA1+ were found to enrich within the outer periosteum. Correlative analyses were next used to define the cellular niche composition, identifying smooth muscle cells, as well as endothelial cell and macrophage subtypes overrepresented within the SSC niche. Using cell-cell communication prediction and spatial transcriptomics, we defined ligand-receptor pairs specifically expressed within the niche and mapped their expression back to niche-resident cells. Finally, these SSC niches were placed in the context of bone microdomains. Signaling gradients derived from the vasculature and bone surfaces were unbiasedly assessed using SpatialTime. This data indicated a striking, spatially-restricted activation of metabolic and major morphogenetic pathways. This project demonstrates the ability of this technique to spatially localize SSC subpopulations, define the cellular components of the stem cell niche, unravel cell-cell communication and place this niche in the context of its bone microdomain to gain a comprehensive understanding of local and global SSC regulatory networks within the bone.
