A complementary role for ELF3 and TFL1 in the regulation of flowering time by ambient temperature.

ABSTRACT: Plants regulate their time to flowering by gathering information from the environment. Photoperiod and temperature are among the most important environmental variables. Suboptimal, but not near-freezing, temperatures regulate flowering through the thermosensory pathway, which overlaps with the autonomous pathway. Here we show that ambient temperature regulates flowering by two genetically distinguishable pathways, one that requires TFL1 and another that requires ELF3. The delay in flowering time observed at lower temperatures was partially suppressed in single elf3 and tfl1 mutants, whereas double elf3 tfl1 mutants were insensitive to temperature. tfl1 mutations abolished the temperature response in cryptochrome mutants that are deficient in photoperiod perception, but not in phyB mutants that have a constitutive photoperiodic response. Contrary to tfl1, elf3 mutations were able to suppress the temperature response in phyB mutants, but not in cryptochrome mutants. The gene expression profile revealed that the tfl1 and elf3 effects are due to the activation of different sets of genes and identified CCA1 and SOC1/AGL20 as being important cross talk points. Finally, genome-wide gene expression analysis strongly suggests a general and complementary role for ELF3 and TFL1 in temperature signalling.

The Evening Complex integrates photoperiod signals to control flowering in rice [RNA-Seq]

Project description:This study aim to understand how the long and short day flowering pathways are integrated and the mechanism of photoperiod perception in rice. Trascriptome at different time points under LD and SD conditions reveal that photoperiodism in rice is controlled by the evening complex. Mutants in LUX ARRYTHMO (LUX) and EARLY FLOWERING3 (ELF3) orthologs abolish flowering. We show that light causes a rapid and sustained degradation of ELF3-1, and this response is dependent on phyB. ChIP-seq of ELF3 and LUX reveal that EC controls both LD and SD flowering pathways by directly binding and suppressing the expression of key floral repressors, including PRR7 orthologs and Ghd7.

PFT1, the MED25 subunit of the plant Mediator complex, promotes flowering through CONSTANS dependent and independent mechanisms in Arabidopsis

Project description:Two aspects of light are very important for plant development: the length of the light phase or photoperiod and the quality of incoming light. Photoperiod detection allows plants to anticipate the arrival of the next season, whereas light quality, mainly the red to far-red ratio (R:FR), is an early signal of competition by neighbouring plants. phyB represses flowering by antagonising CO at the transcriptional and post-translational levels. A low R:FR decreases active phyB and consequently increases active CO, which in turn activates the expression of FT, the plant florigen. Other phytochromes like phyD and phyE seem to have redundant roles with phyB. PFT1, the MED25 subunit of the plant Mediator complex, has been proposed to act in the light-quality pathway that regulates flowering time downstream of phyB. However, whether PFT1 signals through CO and its specific mechanism are unclear. Here we show that CO-dependent and -independent mechanisms operate downstream of phyB, phyD and phyE to promote flowering, and that PFT1 is equally able to promote flowering by modulating both CO-dependent and -independent pathways. Our data are consistent with the role of PFT1 as an activator of CO transcription, and also of FT transcription, in a CO-independent manner. Our transcriptome analysis is also consistent with CO and FT genes being the most important flowering targets of PFT1. Furthermore, comparison of the pft1 transcriptome with transcriptomes after fungal and herbivore attack strongly suggests that PFT1 acts as a hub, integrating a variety of interdependent environmental stimuli, including light quality and jasmonic acid-dependent defences. Two genotypes, WT (Columbia) and pft1-1 mutants. Three biological replicates for each condition (genotype X temperature combination). RNA prepared independently for each sample.

Temperature-controlled inhibition of phyB action

Project description:It has been established that the frequently reported early flowering phenotype of the phyB mutant is very sensitive to small changes in ambient temperature (Halliday et al., 2003). A 6oC drop in temperature to 16oC is sufficient to abolish the pronounced early flowering phyB phenotype observed at 22oC. Using Affymetrix technology we will identify genes that are differentially regulated at 16oC and 22oC in a phyB-specific manner using phyB mutant and wild type seedlings.

Transcriptome analysis of N2 and flp-6 Caenorhabditis elegans at 25 °C

Project description:Temperature is a prominent environmental stimulus that influences life span. Previous studies indicate that in Caenorhabditis elegans, thermosensory perception in the AFD neuron maintains life span at warm temperatures. How thermosensation is translated into neuronal signals that shape aging remains elusive. We found that the Caenorhabditis elegans CREB crh-1, as well as several key genes in AFD thermosensory transduction, were specifically required for normal life span at warm temperatures. crh-1 acted in the AFD to increase transcription of the CRE-containing neuropeptide gene flp-6 in a temperature-dependent manner. Both crh-1 and flp-6 were necessary and sufficient for longevity at warm temperatures, and their effects depended on the AIY interneuron. Moreover, flp-6 signaling downregulated ins-7/insulin and several insulin pathway genes, whose activity compromised life span. We postulate that temperature experience is integrated in the thermosensory neurons to generate CREB-dependent neuropeptide signals that antagonize insulin signaling and promote temperature-specific longevity.

Role of bHLH93 in controlling flowering time in Arabidopsis

Project description:Flowering in plants is a very dynamic and synchronized process where various cues including age, day-length, temperature and endogenous hormones fine-tune the timing of flowering for reproductive success. Arabidopsis thaliana is a facultative long day plant where long-day (LD) photoperiod promotes flowering. Arabidopsis still flowers under short-day (SD) conditions, albeit much later than LD conditions. Although, factors regulating the photoperiodic LD pathway have been extensively investigated, the SD pathway is much less understood. Here we identified a critical transcription factor called bHLH93 (basic Helix-Loop-Helix 93) that is essential to induce flowering specifically under SD conditions in Arabidopsis. bhlh93 mutants do not flower from primary meristem under SD conditions, but flowers similar to wild type under LD conditions. The late flowering phenotype is rescued by exogenous application of GA, suggesting that bHLH93 acts upstream of GA pathway to promote flowering. Double mutant studies showed that bhlh93 is epistatic to phyB and soc1 genes under SD conditions. bHLH93 is expressed at the meristematic regions and its expression peaks at 8 hours after dawn under SD conditions. As expected, the bHLH93 is localized in the nucleus. Taken together, these data suggest that bHLH93 is a key transcription factor necessary for Arabidopsis thaliana to evolve as a facultative plant.
