Promoter-pervasive transcription causes RNA polymerase II pausing to boost DOG1 expression in response to salt

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed by RNA polymerase II. Yet, the molecular and biological implications of such a phenomenon are still largely puzzling. Here, we describe noncoding RNA transcription upstream of the Arabidopsis thaliana DOG1 gene, which governs salt stress responses and is a key regulator of seed dormancy. We find that expression of the DOG1 gene is induced by salt stress, thereby causing a delay in seed germination. We uncover extensive transcriptional activity on the promoter of the DOG1 gene, which produces a variety of lncRNAs. These lncRNAs, named PUPPIES, are co-directionally transcribed and extend into the DOG1 coding region. We show that PUPPIES RNAs respond to salt stress and boost DOG1 expression, resulting in delayed germination. This positive role of pervasive PUPPIES transcription on DOG1 gene expression is associated with augmented pausing of RNA polymerase II, slower transcription and higher transcriptional burst size. These findings highlight the positive role of upstream co-directional transcription in controlling transcriptional dynamics of downstream genes.

Control of seed dormancy and germination by DOG1-AHG1 PP2C Phosphatase complex via binding to heme

Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates abiotic stress and developmental responses including regulation of seed dormancy to prevent seeds from germinating under unfavorable environmental conditions. ABA HYPERSENSITIVE GERMINATION1 (AHG1) encoding a type 2C protein phosphatase (PP2C) is a central negative regulator of the ABA response in germination; however, the molecular function and regulation of AHG1 remain elusive. Here we report that AHG1 interacts with DELAY OF GERMINATION1 (DOG1), which is a pivotal positive regulator in seed dormancy. DOG1 acts upstream of AHG1 and impairs the PP2C activity of AHG1 in vitro. Furthermore, DOG1 has the ability to bind heme. Binding of DOG1 to AHG1 and heme are independent processes but both are essential for DOG1 function in vivo. Our study demonstrates that AHG1 and DOG1 constitute an important regulatory system for seed dormancy and germination by integrating multiple environmental signals, in parallel with the PYL/RCAR ABA receptor-mediated regulatory system.

Arabidopsis hy2 mutant LC-MS/MS

Project description:Salt stress is a critical factor of abiotic stress in agricultural production that significantly affects seed germination and early seedling development. In this study, we characterized the function of the Arabidopsis Long Hypocotyl 2(HY2) gene in NaCl signaling. The hy2 mutant was NaCl-insensitive, whereas HY2-overexpressing lines shows NaCl-hypersensitive phenotypes during seed germination. Induced by exogenous NaCl, the transcription and the protein level of HY2 were up regulated, and HY2 positively mediated the expression of downstream stress-related genes of RD29A, RD29B and DREB2A. With further quantitative proteomics, we got the patterns of 7,391 proteins under salt stress, and identified 215 differentially regulated proteins (DRPs) specifically regulated by HY2. According to GO enrichment analysis, these proteins are mainly involved in ion homeostasis, hormone response, reactive oxygen species(ROS) metabolic, photosynthesis and detoxification pathway to response salt stress . These results direct the pathway of HY2 participating salt stress, and provide new insights for the plant to resist salt stress.

Identification of candidate genes involved in salt stress response at germination and seedling stages by QTL mapping in upland cotton

Project description:Salinity is a major abiotic stress at critical stages of seed germination and seedling establishment. Germination rate (GR) and field emergence rate (FER) are the key traits that determine the basic number of plants stand under field conditions. To explore molecular mechanisms in upland cotton under salt stress, a population of 177 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and their parents were evaluated for seed germination traits (GP, germination potential; GR; FW, fresh weight; DW, dry weight; GL, germinal length) and seedling traits (FER; SH, seedling height; NL, Number of main stem leaves) in 2016-2018. Based on the linkage map contained 2,859 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers, traits under salt stress (E1) and normal condition, (E2) and the converted relative index (R-value) of three years’ trials were used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL). A total of three QTL and two clusters were detected as salt-tolerant QTL. Three QTL (qGR-Chr4-3, qFER-Chr12-3, qFER-Chr15-1) were detected under salt stress and R-value, which explained phenotypic variance of 9.62%-13.67%, and 4.2%-4.72%, 4.75%-8.96%, respectively. Two clusters (Loci-Chr4-2 and Loci-Chr5-4) harboring the QTL for four germination traits (GR, FER, GL, NL) and six seedling traits (GR, FER, DW, FW, SH, NL) were detected related under salt stress. A total of 691 genes were found in the candidate QTL or clusters. Among them, four genes (Gh_A04G1106, Gh_A05G3246, Gh_A05G3177, Gh_A05G3266) showed expression changes between sensitive and tolerant lines under salt stress, and were assigned as candidate genes in response to salt stress. The consistent salt-tolerance QTL identified in both germination and seedling stages will facilitate new information for cotton breeding.

Dormancy heterogeneity among Arabidopsis thaliana seeds is linked to individual seed size

Project description:Production of morphologically and physiologically variable seeds is an important strategy that helps plants to survive in unpredictable natural conditions. However, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and most agronomically essential crops yield visually homogenous seeds. Using automated phenotype analysis, we observed that in Arabidopsis small seeds tend to have higher primary and secondary dormancy levels when compared to large ones. Transcriptomic analysis revealed distinct gene expression profiles between large and small seeds. Large seeds had higher expression of translation-related genes implicated in germination competence. In contrast, small seeds showed elevated expression of many positive regulators of dormancy, including a key regulator of this process – the DOG1 gene. Differences in DOG1 expression were associated with differential production of its alternative cleavage and polyadenylation isoforms where in small seeds proximal poly(A) site is selected resulting in a short mRNA isoform. Furthermore, single-seed RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that large seeds resemble DOG1 knockout mutant seeds. Finally, on the single seed level, the expression of genes affected by seed size was correlated with the expression of genes positioning seeds on the path towards germination. Our results demonstrate an unexpected link between seed size and dormancy phenotypes in a species producing highly homogenous seed pools, suggesting that the correlation between seed morphology and physiology is more widespread than initially assumed.

DELAY OF GERMINATION 1 plays a role in Arabidopsis seed maturation

Project description:We analysed the transcriptome of dry seeds (the end product of seed maturation) of three genotypes with different DOG1 expression levels. These included the WT Ler (low DOG1 expression), the near isogenic line NILDOG1-Cvi (strong DOG1 expression) and the non-dormant dog1-1 mutant (absence of DOG1 expression). NILDOG1-Cvi is the Ler WT containing an introgression of the Cvi accession on chromosome 5, which includes the DOG1 gene (Bentsink et al., 2006). The dog1-1 mutant is in the NILDOG1-Cvi genetic background. The aim was to obtain a global overview of the effect of different levels of DOG1 expression during seed maturation on the dry seed transcriptome.

WRKY43 regulates polyunsaturated fatty acid content and abiotic stress tolerance of Arabidopsis seeds

Project description:Loss of the seed-specific WRKY transcription factor WRKY43 confers enhanced tolerance towards high salt, high osmolarity and low temperature with respect to seed germination. wrky43 loss of function lines display increased inhibition of seed germination in response to exogenous ABA, while WRKY43 overexpression lines are more tolerant towards exogenous ABA. The opposing effect of the wrky43 mutant on salt and ABA tolerance is reminiscent of fatty acid desaturase mutants. Loss of WRKY43 enhances polyunsaturated fatty acid content, particularly 18:2 and 18:3 in TAGs and Phospholipids. Gene chip arrays show that ABA-induced regulation of FUSCA3, ZAT10 and seed storage proteins are absent in the wrky43 mutant. Promoter-Luciferase studies confirm direct regulation of ZAT10 by WRKY43 and suggest indirect regulation of FUS3 and SSPs. In summary WRKY43 acts as a positive regulator of ABA-dependent gene regulation and of fatty acid desaturation that finally results in enhanced tolerance to abiotic stress.
