Exposure of meiosis-to-microspore-stage tomato flowers to long-term mild heat results in pollen failure after mitosis.

ABSTRACT: Crop reproductive success is significantly challenged by heatwaves, which are increasing in frequency globally. The main reason is reduced male fertility due to abnormal pollen development, but the mechanism behind the developmental deviation is not well understood. Here, long-term mild heat (LTMH) treatment, mimicking a heatwave, was applied to flowers or whole plants and followed up by cytological, transcriptomic and biochemical analyses. LTMH was shown to act directly on the flowers and not via a systemic effect on other plant tissue. The meiosis to early microspore stage was the most to LTMH and three to four days of LTMH exposure around this period was sufficient to significantly reduce pollen viability. Extensive cytological analysis showed that abnormalities in pollen development could first be observed after pollen mitosis I and tapetum development appeared unaffected. Transcriptomic and biochemical analyses suggested that pollen development suffers from tapetal ER stress, with a limited role for oxidative stress. These characteristics differentiate the response of developing anthers and pollen to LTMH from that to severe heat stress.

Separated Transcriptomes of Male Gametophyte and Tapetum in Rice

Project description:In flowering plants, the male gametophyte, the pollen, develops in the anther. Complex patterns of gene expression in both the gametophytic and sporophytic tissues of the anther regulate this process. The gene expression profiles of the microspore/pollen and the sporophytic tapetum are of particular interest. In this study, a microarray technique combined with laser microdissection (44K LM-microarray) was developed and used to characterize separately the transcriptomes of the microspore/pollen and tapetum in rice. Expression profiles of 11 known tapetum specific-genes were consistent with previous reports. Based on the spatiotemporal expression patterns and gene ontology (GO) categories of anther-expressed genes, some noteworthy expression patterns are discussed in connection with various important biological events of anther development. The separated transcriptomes of rice microspore/pollen and tapetum were measured at the premeiosis, meiosis, tetrad, uninuclear, bicellular, and tricelluar stages by using laser microdissection (LM)-mediated microarray.

Arabidopsis whole seedling LC-MS/MS

Project description:Pollen grains are coated with a pollen wall which protects the microspore from various biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as facilitates male-female interaction. During pollen wall development, many compounds are transported from the tapetum to the developing pollen wall via tapetum-specific membrane transporters, and male sterility is often observed when membrane transporter’s function or localization is altered. Here, we show that mutating AP1/2β1 and AP1/2β2, two homologous genes of AP1/2β which encodes a large subunit shared by adaptor protein 1 (AP-1) and adaptor protein 2 (AP-2) complexes in Arabidopsis, impair pollen exine formation and cause reduced pollen germination rate and slowed pollen tube growth. However, the shared theory of AP1/2β is not proved in Arabidopsis.

RNA-Seq analysis of wild-type and dmd1 anthers at tetrad stage

Project description:Highly coordinated pollen wall patterning is essential for male reproductive development. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in these processes remain poorly understood. Here, we report the identification of Defective Microspore Development1 (DMD1), which encodes a nuclear-localized protein possessing transactivation activity. DMD1 is preferentially expressed in the tapetum and microspores during postmeiotic anther development. Mutations in DMD1 cause a male sterile phenotype with impaired microspore cell integrity. The mutants display abnormal callose degradation, and primexine thickening is inhibited in the newly released microspores. The expression levels of several genes associated with callose degradation and primexine formation are down-regulated in dmd1 anthers. Moreover, irregular Ubisch body morphology and discontinuous endexine is observed in dmd1, and the baculum is completely absent. DMD1 interacts with Tapetum Degeneration Retardation (TDR), a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor required for exine formation. Taken together, our results suggest that DMD1 is responsible for microspore cell integrity, primexine formation, and exine pattern formation during rice microspore development, and is a potential approach for manipulating male fertility in hybrid rice breeding.

Heat-induced proteomes in tomato pollen mother cells

Project description:Tomato pollen production and viability is highly vulnerable to higher temperature. Hot summers with temperature reaching above 32°C can disrupt production of viable pollens and fruit set, resulting in yield loss. In recent years, temperature above 35-38oC has become a norm during mid-summer with potential adverse impacts on the production of tomatoes and many other crop species. Pollens are developed through the microsporogenesis and micro-gametogenesis stages. The most heat sensitive period is from the meiotic process of the microsporocytes, at the young microspore stage (uninucleate stage of microspore) to during late pollen development (pollen mitosis). This project studied the heat-induced proteomes in microsporocyte, also called pollen mother cells (PMC). Homogenous PMC samples were collected from cross-sectioned frozen fresh anther tissues of tomato ‘Maxifort’ using laser capture microdissection (LCM). Tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics analysis was conducted to identify proteomics changes related to heat tolerance during pollen development.

Exploring the genes associated with male sterility mutant (msm) in Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis) using RNA-Seq

Project description:The hybrid seed production was performed using the male sterility line, which is an important way of heterosis utilization in Chinese cabbage. A stably inherited male sterile mutant msm was obtained from a Chinese cabbage DH line ‘FT’ using the isolated microspore culture combined with 60Co γ-rays mutagenesis. Compared to the wild type ‘FT’, the msm exhibited completely degenerated stamens and no pollen phenotype, and other characters had no significant difference except for stamen. The genetic analysis indicated that the msm mutant phenotype was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. Cytological observation showed that the stamen abortion of msm began at the tetrad period, and tapetum cells were abnormally expanded and highly vacuolated, leading to microspore abortion. Comparative transcriptome analysis on the flower buds of ‘FT’ and msm using RNA-Seq technology revealed a total of 1,653 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Among which, a large number of genes associated with male sterility were found, including 64 pollen development and pollen tube growth-related genes, 94 pollen wall development-related genes, 11 phytohormone-related genes and 16 transcription factor-related genes, and the overwhelming majority of these genes were down-regulated in the msm vs. ‘FT’ comparison. Furthermore, KEGG pathway analysis indicated that a variety of carbohydrate metabolic and lipid metabolic pathways were significantly enriched, which may be related to pollen abortion. The expression patterns of 24 male sterility-related genes were analyzed using qRT-PCR. In addition, a total of 24,476 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 413,073 insertion-deletion events were specifically detected in msm. These results facilitate to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of male sterility in Chinese cabbage.

Characterising the molecular-physiological basis of pollen abortion upon prolonged high temperature stress.

Project description:We compared the transcriptomic response of polarized microspore stage tomato anthers to long-term mild heat (LTMH-) stress of wild-type and three lines that display increased pollen thermo-tolerance. Our results indicated distinct differences between the thermo-tolerant lines and wild-type, suggesting a dampened response to LTMH in the tolerant lines than in wild-type.

Heat-stress of maturing microspores derived from wild type and starch-less mutant plants of Nicotiana sylvestris

Project description:Pollen development is one of the most heat-sensitive developmental stages in a wide range of crops. Our longer-term goal is to understand the mechanism how starch metabolism in maturing pollen grains of the Solanaceae family contributes to maintaining higher pollen quality under heat-stress conditions. The specific aim of the suggested proposal is to characterize N. sylvestris WT and mutant (starch-deficient) transcriptomes during microgametogenesis under ambient and heat-stress conditions. Expression profiles of maturing microspores derived from flower buds at developmental stage of 4 to 2 days before flower opening will be obtained. Pollen was derived from WT and mutant plants exposed to either ambient or heat-stress conditions (exposing the plants to 45oC for 2.5 hours). Keywords: Loop design

Effect of HDAC inhibitor TSA on haploid embryogenesis [dataset 1]

Project description:Haploid embryos can be induced from cultured immature pollen following a stress treatment. In Brassica napus, application of the histone/lysine deacetylase (HDAC/KDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) to pollen cultures enhances the production of differentiated embryos and embryogenic callus when applied together with heat stress (Li et al., 2014). To identify genes associated with the induction of B. napus haploid embryogenesis, we compared the transcriptomes of untreated pollen cultures and pollen cultures treated with either heat-stress or heat-stress plus TSA.
