Transcriptomic profiling of Arabidopsis hypocotyls of brl3 mutants and tissue-specific overexpressors under elevated temperatures

ABSTRACT: Climate change is having a drastic impact on global agriculture. Indeed stress factors such as elevated temperature, drought and rising atmospheric CO2 reduce arable land surface, crop cultivation and yield and overall sustainable food production on earth. However, plants possess immense innate adaptive plasticity and a more in-depth understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms is crucial to strategize for sustaining populations under worsening climate change. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are constitutive plant growth regulators that also control plant adaptation to abiotic stress. Downstream components of the BR biosynthetic pathway, BES1/BZR1 play central role in thermomorphogenesis, but involvement of the BR receptors is not well understood. Here, we show that the BRL3 receptor is essential for plant adaptation to warmer environment. The brl3 mutants lack thermal responsiveness and the BRL3 overexpression causes hyper-thermomorphogenesis response. BRL3 activates canonical BRI1 pathway upon elevated temperature. Further, phloem-specific expression of BRL3 completely rescues the growth adaptation defects of the brl3 mutant. This ability of BRL3 represents a previously unknown thermoresponsive mechanism specifically from phloem and uncouples the roles of BR receptors in generic growth vs adaptation to changing climate conditions.

Transcriptomic study of Arabidopsis roots overexpressing the brassinosteroid receptor BRL3, in control conditions and under severe drought

Project description:Abstract: Drought is the primary cause of global agricultural losses and represents a major threat to worldwide food security. Currently, plant biotechnology stands out as the most promising strategy to increase crop growth in rain-fed conditions. The main mechanisms underlying drought resistance have been uncovered by studies of plant physiology and by engineering crops with drought-resistant genes. However, plants with enhanced drought resistance usually display lower levels of growth, highlighting the need to search for novel strategies capable of uncoupling drought resistance from growth. Here, we show that the brassinosteroid family of receptors, in addition to promoting growth, guides phenotypic adaptation to a great variety of drought stress traits analyzed herein. Whilst mutations in the ubiquitously localized BRI1 receptor pathway show an enhanced drought resistance at the expense of plant growth, we found that vascular-enriched BRL3 receptors confer drought tolerance without penalizing overall growth. Systematic analyses reveal that upon drought stress the BRL3 receptor pathway triggers the synthesis and mobilization of osmoprotectant metabolites, mainly proline and sugars. This preferentially occurs in the vascular tissues of the roots and favors overall plant growth. Altogether, our results uncover a new role for the spatial control of BR signaling in drought tolerance, and offer a novel strategy to address food security issues in an increasingly water-limited climate.

Microarray transcriptomic profiling of Arabidopsis root stem cells within the BRL3 expression domain treated with Brassinolide (BL) [microarray]

Project description:Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones involved in multiple processes of plant growth and development, and the adaptation to the environment. Some of the processes regulated by BRs are meristem activity and stem cell divisions. At the core of the root stem cell niche, it is placed the quiescent center (QC), that act as a cell reservoir. QC cells only trigger their divisions when need to replenish the stem cells, for example, after a DNA damage. BR signaling is in charge of triggering these QC divisions, but the exact mechanisms of how this process is regulated is still unknown. Here, we use an interdisciplinary approach, using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system, including molecular genetics, physiology and bioinformatics to decipher the role of BR receptors upon DNA damage regulating the QC divisions. The results uncover novel roles for the BR-receptor kinase BRL3 (BRI1-like 3) receptor in DNA damage response (DDR) in plants, by modulating the DNA repair and the cell-cycle progression. We identified candidate tissue-specific transcriptional regulator, specifically expressed in the QC cells, the RNR2A (RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASE 2A), in charge of maintaining dNTPs (deoxynucleotide triphosphates) supply during DNA synthesis that is modulated by BRL3 downstream signaling events. Considering the importance of plant stem cells and their tissues for biomass accumulation and constantly exposed to adverse environmental stresses that can cause DNA damage or cell-cycle arrest in the RAM, here we stablished the mechanism linking root meristematic activity to the DDR through the cell-specific steroid receptor kinase BRL3.

B-box family proteins BBX18 and BBX23 control thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis

Project description:Plants coordinate their growth and developmental programs with various endogenous signals and environmental challenges such as seasonal and diurnal temperature fluctuations. The bHLH transcription factor PIF4 plays critical roles in thermoresponsive hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis, and the evening complex component ELF3 negatively regulates PIF4's activity for downstream gene expression and hypocotyl elongation at elevated temperature. However, how warm temperature signal is transmitted to ELF3 is not known. Here, we report the identification of two B-Box protein BBX18/BBX23 as new regulators of thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis. Mutations of BBX18/BBX23 confer reduced thermoresponsive hypocotyl elongation. Overexpression of BBX18 enhances the sensitivity of hypocotyl growth to elevated temperature, which is dependent on the function of PIF4 and RING E3 ligase COP1, respectively. Both BBX18 and BBX23 interact with ELF3 or COP1, relegating the protein abundance of ELF3 at warm temperature. Further, the expression of multiple thermoresponsive genes is impaired in both the PIF4 single mutant and BBX18/BBX23 double mutant. In addition, both the transcription and protein levels of BBX18/BBX23 are up-regulated by elevated ambient temperature. Thus, our findings reveal the important roles of B-Box proteins in plant thermomorphogenesis, and build a new connection from warm temperature information to ELF3 and its downstream signaling components.

The epidermis coordinates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway

Project description:In plants, an elevation in ambient temperature induces morphological changes including elongation hypocotyls, considered to be adaptive responses to alleviate the heat-induced damages. The high temperature-induced morphological changes are called thermomorphogenesis, which is predominantly regulated by a bHLH transcription factor PIF4. Although PIF4 is expressed in all aerial tissues including the epidermis, mesophyll, and vascular bundle, its tissue-specific functions in thermomorphogenesis are not known. Here, we found that epidermis-specific expression of PIF4 induced constitutive long hypocotyls, while vasculature-specific expression of PIF4 had no effect on hypocotyl growth. Consistently, RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR analyses revealed that auxin responsive genes and growth-related genes were highly activated by epidermal, but not by vascular, PIF4. The epidermal, but not vascular, inactivation of PIF4 by a PIF4 artificial microRNA or a dominant negative form of PIF4 suppressed thermoresponsive gene expression and hypocotyl growth. Additionally, both the block of epidermal auxin signaling and the epidermal overexpression of a thermosensor phytochrome B (phyB) inhibited thermoresponsive growth, indicating that epidermal PIF4-auxin pathway are essential for the temperature responses. We further show that epidermal PIF4 is increased by high temperatures mainly through the transcriptional activation of PIF4. Taken together, our study demonstrates that the epidermis regulates thermoresponsive growth through the phyB-PIF4-auxin pathway.

A conserved signaling complex controls warm temperature-mediated plant growth

Project description:The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana responds to mild high temperature by increased elongation growth of organs to enhance cooling capacity, in a process called thermomorphogenesis. Our understanding of the genetic regulation of thermomorphogenesis has increased in recent years. However, hardly anything is known about molecular mechanisms outside A. thaliana and cellular signaling pathways have been underexplored. Therefore, we mapped changes in protein phosphorylation in A. thaliana and crops exposed to warm temperature. Based on these results, we identified and characterized a novel, functionally conserved signaling complex of MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE KINASE KINASE KINASEs (MAP4KS) in warm temperature-mediated growth regulation in plants. This contributes to our understanding of warm temperature signaling, and can help guarantee food security under a changing climate

The Arabidopsis SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 mediates the temperature dependent trade-off between plant immunity and growth

Project description:Increased ambient temperature is widely considered to be inhibitory to basal and effector-triggered plant immunity. For example, SNC1-dependent auto-immunity in Arabidopsis results in enhanced basal resistance at 22ºC, which is fully suppressed at 28ºC. The sumoylation mutant siz1 also displays auto-immunity at 22ºC. We find that its auto-immunity is sustained at 28ºC while still requiring PAD4/EDS1 and SNC1 function. Moreover, its rosette size does not fully recover at 28ºC, which is normally seen for SNC1 gain-of-function mutants. Related, thermomorphogenesis is also compromised in the SUMO mutants. This role of SIZ1 in growth regulation does not depend on PAD4 or SNC1. In corroboration, SUMO mutants show a global delay in their transcriptional profile for thermosensitive growth regulators and these differentially expressed genes show an overrepresentation for PIF4 genomic targets. This transcription factor (TF) PIF4 is the central regulator of thermomorphogenesis, while also inhibiting plant immunity at 28ºC. Our findings thus reveal that SUMO conjugation has a central role in PIF4 regulation prioritizing growth over immunity at elevated temperatures. Such molecular understanding of how temperature affects growth over immunity is important to mitigate the effects of climate change on agriculture This experiment we have examined how gene expression is affected in two SUMO mutants (siz1-2; sumo1 amiR-SUMO1 [aka. sumo1/2KD] ) when the plants are placed at 28C constant ambient temperature, which is a condition normally used to induce thermomorphogenesis. We used as control the pad1-4 background, as the siz1-2 and sumo1/2KD mutants normailly suffer from constitutive defence signalling due hyperaccumulation of SA, which is suppressed by introgression of pad4 in these backgrounds.

The INO80 chromatin remodeling complex promotes thermomorphogenesis by connecting H2A.Z eviction and active transcription in Arabidopsis[ChIP-seq]

Project description:Global warming imposes a major threat to plant growth and crop production. In some plants including Arabidopsis thaliana, elevated temperatures induce a series of morphological and developmental adjustments, termed thermomorphogenesis to facilitate plant cooling under high-temperature conditions. Plant thermal response is suppressed by histone variant H2A.Z. At warm temperatures, H2A.Z is evicted from nucleosomes at thermo-responsive genes, resulting in their activation. However, the mechanisms that regulate H2A.Z eviction and subsequent transcription activation are largely unknown. Here, we show that the ino80 chromatin-remodeling complex (ino80-C) promotes thermomorphogenesis and activates the expression of thermo-responsive and auxin-related genes. ino80-C associates with PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4), a potent regulator in thermomorphogenesis, and mediates temperature-induced H2A.Z eviction at PIF4 targets. Moreover, ino80-C directly interacts with COMPASS-like and transcription elongation factors to promote active histone modification Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and RNA Polymerase II (RNA Pol II) elongation, leading to the thermal induction of transcription. Notably, transcription elongation factors are required for the eviction of H2A.Z at PIF4 targets, suggesting the cooperation of ino80-C and transcription elongation in H2A.Z removal. Our results demonstrate that the (PIF4)-(ino80-C)-(COMPASS-like)-(transcription elongator) module controls plant thermal response, and establish a link between H2A.Z eviction and active transcription.
