Project description:Plants experience a wide array of environmental stimuli to form a memory of adversity. Histone modification plays roles in plant stress memory, of which the mechanisms of H3K4me3 of low temperature memory in plants are poorly understood although H3K4me3 is a key histone modification. Combined with phenotypic analysis, chip-seq, and transcriptome analyses were performed to investigate the potential H3K4me3 contributions for different phases of recurring cold stresses Arabidopsis plants. Chromatin immunoprecipitation DNA-sequencing (ChIP-seq) for H3K4me3 in different low temperature stress.

Project description:Vernalization, the requirement of long-term exposure to low environmental temperature for flowering, is a typical epigenetic phenomenon in plants. Histone modifications have been analyzed for key vernalization genes, but genome-wide regulation remains unclear. Here, we performed global analysis of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) and 27 (H3K27me3) trimethylation with Chromatin Immunoprecipitation-Sequencing (ChIP-Seq) during and after vernalization to obtain complete view of histone modification fluctuation both on whole genome scale and for single genes, even different regions of genes. The critical role of H3K27me3 was revealed. During vernalization H3K27me3 regulation concentrated on a few biological processes, with two essential environmental responses, transcription regulation and anti-stress reactions, being main targets, as indicated by change pattern and GO analysis. The regulation of H3K4me3, however, showed no obvious focus. For gene expression, H3K27me3 is involved in multiple trends of control. H3K4me3, however, mainly focuses on unidirectional regulation. After vernalization most of H3K27me3 changes were kept, but relatively small proportion of H3K4me3 changes could be maintained, as shown by multiple-level analysis, suggesting the active role of H3K27me3 in epigenetic memory. Vernalization-induced histone modification changes were uncovered for VRN3, a gene integrating vernalization/photoperiod signals, suggesting its regulation role at epigenetic level. Memory-related genes were genome-widely identified and a high proportion of them showed quantitative response to vernalization-treatment, suggesting broad existence of this mechanism. Our studies shed new light on epigenetic role of H3K27me3 and VRN3 in vernalization, revealed mechanism underlying epigenetic memory, which helps us to further understand vernalization, a mechanism with great potential in agriculture.

Project description:As a species mostly planted in tropical and subtropical regions, rice is sensitive to chilling temperature, especially at reproductive stage. However, the effect of low temperature on seed development has not been well characterized. The transcriptome of two rice cultivars Zhonghua11 and Hanfeng were analyzed to characterize the gene regulatory networks of rice seed during low temperature treatment. Whole plants of two rice cultivars Zhonghua11 (low temperature sensitive) and Hanfeng (low temperature tolerance) were treated at 14°C for 2 days during seed development stage. The plants without treatment serve as controls. Rice seeds were harvested for RNA extraction.

Project description:Plants can be primed by a stress cue to mount a faster and stronger activation of defense mechanisms upon a subsequent stress. A crucial component of such stress priming is the modified reactivation of genes upon recurring stress, a phenomenon known as transcriptional memory. The transcriptional memory in response to heat stress is not clear at the genome scale. We used microarrays to identify genes that showed transcriptional memory in response to recurring heat stress.

Project description:Ambient temperature dependent flowering time is an important feature that is required for plants to reproduce in various environmental conditions. The rising global temperature poses a significant challenge to the growth and reproduction of plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, FLM-β, a major splicing isoform of the flowering repressor gene FLOWERING LOCUS M, is down-regulated in response to increasing temperature and represents a critical mechanism for plants to respond to temperature changes. However, it is unknown how the transcript level of FLM-β is down-regulated. Here we identify an RRM domain-containing protein, UBA2C, as a previously uncharacterized flowering repressor by forward genetic screening. We demonstrate that UBA2C directly binds to FLM chromatin and facilitates FLM transcription predominantly by inhibiting the histone H3K27 trimethylation, a histone mark related to transcriptional repression. At FLM chromatin, the histone H3K27 trimethylation is enhanced in response to increasing temperatures. Depletion of UBA2C weakens the response of FLM transcription and H3K27 trimethylation to temperature changes. UBA2C forms multiple puncta in the nucleus and the number of puncta increases with increasing temperatures. UBA2C contains a prion-like domain (PrLD) that is responsible for forming puncta in the nucleus in vivo. These results not only identify a previously unknown flowering-time regulator but also reveal the mechanism by which the regulator controls flowering time in response to temperature changes.

Project description:A role of chromatin in plant memory of environmental stress has been proposed. In this study ChIP-Seq was employed to investigate whether a transient mild salt treatment of Arabidopsis thaliana plant at seedling stage (M-^Qpriming treatmentM-^R: 50 mM NaCl for 24 hours) altered genome-wide profiles of four histone modifications; H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K9me2 and H3K27me3. Comparison of histone modification profiles between primed and non-primed plants harvested immediately after the priming treatment showed differences in all histone modifications but were strongest and most abundant for H3K27me3. We subsequently explored whether these changes were maintained over an extensive period of growth in control conditions. Additional ChIP-Seq analysis showed that differences in the H3K27me3 profiles between primed and non-primed plants were still apparent after a growth period of ten days in control conditions. The results provide first indication for a potential role of H3K27me3 in long-term somatic memory of abiotic stress events in plants. The obtained dataset was compared with RNA-seq data measured in the same plant material (see parallel submission of RNA-Seq data in ArrayExpress: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1668).

Project description:Plants often experience recurrent stressful events, for example during heat waves. They can adapt to such recurrent heat stress (HS), allowing subsequent survival of more severe HS conditions. At certain genes HS induces sustained expression for several days beyond the actual HS. This transcriptional memory is associated with hyper-methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3), however, how this is maintained for extended periods of time is unclear. Here, we determined histone turnover by measuring chromatin association of a HS-induced histone H3.3. Genome-wide Histone turnover was not homogenous, in particular, H3.3 was retained longer at HS memory genes compared to HS-induced non-memory genes during the memory phase. While low nucleosome turnover retained H3K4 methylation, its loss did not affect turnover, suggesting that low nucleosome turnover sustains H3K4 methylation (and not vice versa). Together, our results unveil the modulation of histone turnover as a mechanism to retain environmentally-mediated epigenetic modifications.
