Analysis of global gene expression in vegetative and reproductive tissues of maize (Zea mays) that differ in accumulation of starch and sucrose

ABSTRACT: Background. Carbon allocation between vegetative and reproductive tissues impacts cereal grain production. Despite their great agricultural importance, sink-source relationships have not been fully characterized at early reproductive stages in maize. Here we quantify the accumulation of non-structural carbohydrates and patterns of gene expression in the top internode of the stem and the female inflorescence of maize at the onset of grain filling (reproductive stage R1). Methods. Top internode stem and female inflorescence tissues of the Puma maize inbred line were collected at reproductive stage R1 (without pollination). The accumulation of non-structural carbohydrates was quantified by spectrophotometry. Global gene expression was evaluated in both tissues by RNA sequencing. Results. At reproductive stage R1, the maize female inflorescence accumulates non-structural carbohydrates, notably starch, at higher levels than the top internode of the stem. Gene expression analysis identified 491 genes to be differentially expressed between the female inflorescence and the stem top internode. Gene ontology classification of differentially expressed genes showed enrichment for sucrose synthesis, the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, and transmembrane transporters. Our results suggest that sugar transporters play a key role in sugar partitioning in the maize stem and reveal previously uncharacterized differences between the female inflorescence and the top internode of the stem at early reproductive stages.

Transcriptome profiling of inflorescence stem tissues from Arabidopsis thaliana series 2

Project description:We report the application of laser capture microdissection (LCM) for high resolution transcriptome profiling of the second internode of the Arabidopsis thaliana inflorescence stem. In this series, we used LCM to determine and compare the transcriptome profiles of the phloem cap, the pith, and the remaining vascular bundle area.

A dynamic co-expression map of early inflorescence development in Setaria viridis provides a resource for gene discovery and comparative genomics

Project description:Setaria viridis is a small, rapidly growing grass species in the subfamily Panicoideae, a group that includes economically important cereal crops such as maize and sorghum. The S. viridis inflorescence displays complex branching patterns, but its early development is similar to that of other panicoid grasses, and thus is an ideal model for studying inflorescence architecture. Here we report detailed transcriptional resource that captures dynamic transitions across six sequential stages of S. viridis inflorescence development, from reproductive onset to floral organ differentiation. Co-expression analyses identified stage-specific signatures of development, which include homologs of previously known developmental genes from maize and rice, suites of transcription factors and gene family members, and genes of unknown function. This spatiotemporal co-expression map and associated analyses provide a foundation for gene discovery in S. viridis inflorescence development, and a comparative model for exploring related architectural features in agronomically important cereals.

MicroRNA-regulated phase change controls reproductive stem elongation (Experiment M1)

Project description:Many plants dramatically elongate their vegetative stems following flowering, yet it is unclear how this response is linked to the reproductive phase. We show that microRNA (miRNA) control of a deeply conserved phase change transcription factor, APETALA (AP2), is required for rapid and complete elongation of stem internodes in barley, especially of the final 'peduncle' internode directly underneath the inflorescence. Disrupted miR172-targeting of AP2 causes leads to short peduncles in the Zeo barley mutant due to reduced cell number and late stage cell expansion, which was associated with lower mitotic activity, delayed growth dynamics and premature lignification. In agreement, multiple, stage and tissue specific comparative transcriptomics revealed decreased expression of proliferation-associated genes, and ectopic expression of maturation-related genes in Zeo1.b. In addition, Zeo1.b peduncles showed persistent, elevated expression of genes associated with jasmonate (JA) and stress responses. Reproductive development including stem elongation in Zeo1.b was hypersensitive to inhibition by methyl JA (MeJA) but less responsive to promotion via gibberellin (GA). Based on these data, we propose that miR172- restriction of AP2 during flowering may release JA-associated vegetative growth restraint in order to facilitate GA-promoted stem growth in the reproductive phase. Microarray experiment M1. Comparison of control Bowman (Bw) and mutant (Zeo1.b) lines in peduncle initials tissue.

Expression of ATHB17 in Maize Increases Ear Weight at Silking

Project description:Transformation of the Arabidopsis ATHB17 gene into maize results in the expression of a truncated protein (smaller by 113 amino acids) that functions as a dominant-negative regulator that can modify activity of endogenous maize HD-Zip II transcription factors. This RNASeq experiment indicates that the observed effects of ATHB17d113 on the maize ear inflorescence and ear transcriptome are very small. Expression of ATHB17delta113 protein in maize leads to changes in ear growth resulting in increased ear size at early reproductive stages and, potentially increased sink size. Two ATHB17delta113 expressing events (Event 1 and Event 2) were compared to control plants (herein referred to as WT) in the context of Monsanto Elite Maize hybrid line NN6306. Three bioreps of both Ear inflorescence and Ear tissues were sampled for the WT and each of the two transgenic events.

Identification of MOL1-dependent genes II

Project description:We used RNA-seq to generate the transcriptional profile of wild type and mol1-1 mutants in the second internode of the inflorescence stem of 15 to 20 cm tall Arabidopsis. We then used statistical analysis to identify differentially expressed genes that potentially contribute to the mol1-1 mutant phenotype. RNA from three replicates each of WT and mol1-1 mutants were sequenced and differentially expressed genes were identified.
