Project description:Seed germination is a major step of plant growth and development. It is critical for species competition and spreading capacity in ecosystems. In agrosystems, it eventually impacts crop growth and yield. To prevent unappropriated germination under environmental conditions that do not guarantee the establishment of a robust plantlet, seeds from temperate species are generally dormant at maturity. Dormancy is a physiological mechanism that blocks seed germination even under favorable conditions and dormancy release is therefore required prior to germination [1]. A range of environmental (e.g. temperature, light, oxygen availability) and endogenous (e.g. hormonal) signals regulate these processes and germination completion, i.e. the early emergence of embryo radicle from seed envelope, can be achieved only when promoting mechanisms overcome inhibiting processes [2]. In that sense, the balance between the two antagonistic hormones abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GA), that inhibit and stimulate seed germination, respectively, promotes either dormancy (high ABA and low GA contents) or germination (low ABA and high GA contents) [3]

Project description:What methylation changes are occurring during seed development largely remains unknown. To uncover the possible role of DNA methylation throughout all of seed development - from fertilization through dormancy and post-germination in soybean, we characterized the methylome of whole seeds representing the differentiation (GLOB and COT stages), maturation (early- [EM], mid- [B1] and late- [AA1] maturation stages), dormancy (DRY stage), and post-germination (seedling) phases of soybean seed development using Illumina sequencing. In addition, we characterized the methylome of the cotyledons of germinated seedling to examine methylation differences before and after germination.

Project description:Plant embryos can survive years in a desiccated, quiescent state within seeds. In many species, seeds are dormant and unable to germinate at maturity. They acquire the capacity to germinate through a period of dry storage called after-ripening (AR), a biological process that occurs at 5-15% moisture when most metabolic processes cease. Because stored transcripts will be among the first proteins translated upon water uptake, they likely impact germination potential. Transcriptome changes associated with the increased seed dormancy of the GA-insensitive <i>sly1-2</i> mutant, and with dormancy loss through <i>sly1-2</i> after-ripening or constitutive overexpression of the GA receptor (GID1b) were characterized in dry seeds. This experiment used the same seed batches as a previous experiment (E-MTAB-4782) to characterize transcriptional changes associated with the increased seed dormancy and dormancy loss in imbibing seeds. The <i>SLY1</i> gene encodes the F-box subunit of an SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase needed for GA-triggered proteolysis of DELLA repressors of seed germination. In the <i>sly1-2</i> mutant, GA-directed DELLA proteolysis cannot occur leading to DELLA protein accumulation and increased dormancy. <i>sly1-2</i> mutant seeds are fully dormant at 2 weeks of dry storage (0% germination), but germinate well with very long after-ripening (51% germination after 19 months). <i>sly1-2</i> seed germination can also be rescued by overexpression of the GA receptor, <i>GA-INSENSITIVE DWARF1b</i> (<i>GID1b-OE</i>), which resulted in 74% germination at 2 weeks of dry storage. In this experiment, we sampled dry seeds of wild-type L<i>er</i> at 2 weeks of dry storage (non-dormant), dormant <i>sly1-2</i> (2 weeks of dry storage; <i>sly1-2</i>(D)), long after-ripened <i>sly1-2</i> (non-dormant, 19 months of dry storage; <i>sly1-2</i>(AR)), and <i>sly1-2 GID1b-OE</i> (non-dormant, 2 weeks of dry storage). This experimental design allowed comparison between these transcriptomes in dry seeds to determine if dry seed stored mRNA differences contribute to the dormancy phenotypes observed once seeds are imbibed. Seeds for L<i>er</i> wt, <i>sly1-2</i>(D), and <i>sly1-2 GID1b-OE</i> were grown alongside each other under the same conditions and after-ripened for 2 weeks. Seeds from <i>sly1-2</i>(AR) were grown under the same conditions in advance of the other lines to allow for the long after-ripening requirement. RNA was extracted using a phenol-chloroform-based extraction from three biological replicates per treatment.

Project description:The control of seed germination and seed dormancy are critical for the successful propagation of plant species, and are important agricultural traits. Seed germination is tightly controlled by the balance of gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA), and is influenced by environmental factors. The COP9 Signalosome (CSN) is a conserved multi-subunit protein complex that is best known as a regulator of the Cullin-RING family of ubiquitin E3 ligases (CRLs). Multiple viable mutants of the CSN showed poor germination, except for csn5b-1. Detailed analyses showed that csn1-10 has a stronger seed dormancy, while csn5a-1 mutants exhibit retarded seed germination in addition to hyperdormancy. Both csn5a-1 and csn1-10 plants show defects in the timely removal of the germination inhibitors: RGL2, a repressor of GA signaling, and ABI5, an effector of ABA responses. We provide genetic evidence to demonstrate that the germination phenotype of csn1-10 is caused by over-accumulation of RGL2, a substrate of the SCF (CRL1) ubiquitin E3 ligase, while the csn5a-1 phenotype is caused by over-accumulation of RGL2 as well as ABI5. The genetic data are consistent with the hypothesis that CSN5A regulates ABI5 by a mechanism that may not involve CSN1. Transcriptome analyses suggest that CSN1 has a more prominent role than CSN5A during seed maturation, but CSN5A plays a more important role than CSN1 during seed germination, further supporting the functional distinction of these two CSN genes. Our study delineates the molecular targets of the CSN complex in seed germination, and reveals that CSN5 has additional functions in regulating ABI5, thus the ABA signaling pathway.

Project description:affy_sunflower_2010_13 - affy_sunflower_2010_13 - It concerns the interaction between ROS and hormones in dormancy release in sunflower seeds. ABA is responsible for dormancy maintenance, while GA and ethylene promote seed germination. Based on our results, ROS could represent good candidate to shift from a hormone signalling to another determining the dormancy state in sunflower seeds.-We aim to understand the mechanisms controlling sunflower seed dormancy at the transcriptomic level, by the application of treatments which maintain dormancy as ABA, or alleviate dormancy as ROS and ethylene. Transcripts comparison will be performed between dormant and non-dormant sunflower embryo imbibed 24h on water, on ABA, on methylviologen, a pro-oxidant compound or on ethylene.

Project description:There are four major seed developmental phases in Arabidopsis seed development: morphogenesis, maturation, dormancy and germination. What methylation changes occurring in the different phases, if any, remains unknown. To uncover the possible role of DNA methylation in different parts of the seed, we characterized the methylome of four major seed developmental phases of Arabidopsis using Illumina sequencing: global stage (glob) and linear cotyledon stage (lcot) for morphogenesis phase; mature green stage (mg) and post mature green stage (pmg) for maturation phase; dry seed (dry) for dormancy phase; leaves (leaf) from 4 week plant for vegetative tissues.

Project description:How epigenetics is involved in the transition from seed maturation to seed germination largely remains elusive. To uncover the possible role of epigenetics in gene expression during the transition from seed maturation to seed germination in soybean, the transcriptome of cotyledons from four stages of soybean seed maturation and germination, including mid-late maturation, late maturation, seed dormancy and seed germination, were profiled by Illumina sequencing. For the genes that are quantitatively regulated at the four stages, two antagonistic epigenetic marks, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, together with the binding of RNA polymerase II, were investigated at the four stages by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). For 10 out of 16 genes examined, the relative enrichment of histone modification marks (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) and RNA polymerase II binding on their promoter regions correlates well with their relative expression levels at four stages, suggesting the involvement of epigenetics in transcriptional regulation. A striking finding is that seed germination-specific genes start to show open chromatin (H3K4me3) during late seed maturation although their transcripts do not accumulate, which is further supported by RNA polymerase II binding. Together, our results provide the first evidence that seed germination genes can be primed for transcription (open chromatin and RNA polymerase II binding) during seed maturation, highlighting that the transition from seed maturation to seed germination starts at late seed maturation stages at both the genetic and epigenetic levels.

Project description:Seed dormancy is the inability for seeds to germinate even under favorable conditions. In the Arabidopsis Landsberg <i>erecta</i> (L<i>er</i>) ecotype, 2 weeks of dry storage, called after-ripening, is sufficient to relieve seed dormancy. Such seed is referred to as after-ripened (AR) and has a high rate of germination when imbibed. While widespread transcriptome changes have been previously observed with seed dormancy loss, this experiment was designed to characterize transcriptional changes associated with the increased seed dormancy and dormancy loss of the gibberellin (GA) hormone-insensitive <i>sleepy1-2</i> (<i>sly1-2</i>) mutant. The <i>SLY1</i> gene encodes the F-box subunit of an SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase needed for GA-triggered proteolysis of DELLA repressors of seed germination. In the <i>sly1-2</i> mutant, GA-directed DELLA proteolysis cannot occur leading to DELLA protein accumulation and increased dormancy. <i>sly1-2</i> mutant seeds are fully dormant at 2 weeks of dry storage (0% germination), but germinate well with very long after-ripening (51% germination after 19 months). <i>sly1-2</i> seed germination can also be rescued by overexpression of the GA receptor, <i>GA-INSENSITIVE DWARF1b</i> (<i>GID1b-OE</i>), which resulted in 74% germination at 2 weeks of dry storage. In this experiment, we compared seeds of wild-type L<i>er</i> at 2 weeks of dry storage (non-dormant), dormant <i>sly1-2</i> (2 weeks of dry storage; <i>sly1-2</i>(D)), long after-ripened <i>sly1-2</i> (non-dormant, 19 months of dry storage; <i>sly1-2</i>(AR)), and <i>sly1-2 GID1b-OE</i> (non-dormant, 2 weeks of dry storage). Samples were collected at two imbibition timepoints: 1) a 0h timepoint after 4 days at 4°C, and 2) a 12h timepoint after 4 days at 4°C followed by 12 hours in the light at 22°C. These timepoints were selected to capture the transcriptomes at an early and late time in Phase II of imbibition. Using this experimental design we were able to determine transcriptome differences associated with seed dormancy in the <i>sly1-2</i> mutation (L<i>er</i> wt vs <i>sly1-2</i>(D)), and changes associated with <i>sly1-2</i> dormancy loss through dry after-ripening (<i>sly1-2</i>(AR) vs <i>sly1-2</i>(D)) or through <i>GID1b</i>-overexpression (<i>sly1-2 GID1b-OE</i> vs <i>sly1-2</i>(D)). Seeds for L<i>er</i> wt, <i>sly1-2</i>(D), and <i>sly1-2 GID1b-OE</i> were grown alongside each other under the same conditions and after-ripened for 2 weeks. Seeds from <i>sly1-2</i>(AR) were grown under the same conditions in advance of the other lines to allow for the long after-ripening requirement. RNA was extracted using a phenol-chloroform-based extraction from three biological replicates per treatment.
