MicroRNA396 is a coordinative regulator that can be modulated to reconcile the reverse relationship between fruit size and quality in tomato

ABSTRACT: The microRNA396 (miR396) family is a group of small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulates expression of growth-regulating factors (GRFs) in plants. In this study, the researchers used short tandem target mimic (STTM) and artificial miRNA (amiRNA) techniques to either decrease or increase the expression of miR396 in tomatoes to investigate its role in regulating organ size and nutrition accumulation. Decreasing the expression of miR396 increased organ size, total soluble solids (TSS), and secondary metabolites in the fruits. The researchers also observed that increased miR396 expression reduced fruit size and weight but promoted the growth of axillary buds. These results suggest that modulating the expression of miR396 may be a way to improve the productivity and quality of tomatoes by reconciling fruit size and nutrition. Analysis of mRNA profiling in tomato fruits from mature-green and red-ripe stages in the three genotypes, STTM396, amiR396, and the wild-type, demonstrated an accountable altered expression of genes involved in photosynthetic capacity, sugar synthesis and unloading, and starch synthesis. The researchers tentatively concluded that modulating miR396 expression in tomatoes could be a useful approach for improving both productivity and quality through genetic modifications.

44K Agilent microarray analysis of SlBIM1a overexpressing tomato fruits

Project description:The steroid hormone brassinosteroids (BRs) play considerable roles in plant development and defence. Harnessing the extensive knowledge on Arabidopsis BR signalling network for improving productivity in crop species requires first to identify the conserved network components and their function in the target species. To investigate the function of SlBIM1a, the tomato closest homolog of AtBIM1, which is highly expressed in the developing fruit, we generated transgenic tomatoes, which overexpress or down-regulate SlBIM1a gene. Main alterations were observed in SlBIM1a overexpressing lines, which displayed a severe plant and fruit dwarfism. To unravel the molecular basis of phenotypical modifications in SlBIM1a overexpressing fruits, a microarray (Agilent) analysis was performed on Pro35S:SlBIM1aOX and WT fruits harvested at 15 DPA.

RdDM is involved in epigenetic regulation of strawberry fruit ripening

Project description:DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark that influences diverse biological processes in many eukaryotes. Recently, DNA methylation was proposed to regulate fleshy fruit ripening. Fleshy fruits can be distinguished by their ripening process as climacteric fruits, such as tomatoes, or non-climacteric fruits, such as strawberries. Tomatoes undergo a global decrease in DNA methylation during ripening, due to increased expression of a DNA demethylase gene. The dynamics and biological relevance of DNA methylation during ripening of non-climacteric fruits, or other climacteric fruits, are unknown. Here, we generated and characterized single-base resolution maps of the DNA methylome in strawberry fruit, from immature to ripe stages. We observed an overall loss of DNA methylation during strawberry fruit ripening. Thus, ripening-induced DNA hypomethylation occurs not only in climacteric fruit, but also in non-climacteric fruit. However, we discovered that the mechanisms underlying DNA hypomethylation during ripening of tomato and strawberry are distinct. Unlike in tomatoes, DNA demethylase genes were not up-regulated during ripening of strawberries. Instead, genes involved in RNA-directed DNA methylation were down-regulated during strawberry ripening. Further, ripening-induced DNA hypomethylation was associated with decreased siRNA levels, consistent with reduced RdDM activity. Therefore, we propose that DNA hypomethylation during strawberry ripening is caused by diminished RdDM activity. Finally, hundreds of ripening-related genes displayed altered expression that was associated with, and thus potentially regulated by, DNA hypomethylation during ripening. Our findings provide new insight into the DNA methylation dynamics during the ripening of non-climateric fruit and reveal a novel function of RdDM in regulating an important process in plant development.

Transcript profiling of tomato mutants producing anthocyanins in the fruit

Project description:Anthocyanins are high value plant antioxidants which are not present in the fruits of cultivated tomato. However, both the dominant gene Anthocyanin fruit (Aft) and the recessive gene atroviolacea (atv), introgressed into domesticated tomato from two different wild Solanum species, stimulate a limited anthocyanin pigmentation. Surprisingly, double mutant Aft/Aft atv/atv tomatoes are characterised by the presence of anthocyanins in the fruit peel, resulting in intensely purple pigmented fruit. We carried out a transcript profiling analysis using GeneChip® Tomato Genome Arrays, in order to identify differentially expressed genes when comparing wild type, Aft/Aft, atv/atv, and Aft/Aft atv/atv fruits. The expression pattern of several genes involved in the anthocyanin pathway was analyzed in detail. Among the fruit peel-associated differentially expressed transcripts, genes involved in phenylpropanoid pathway, cell wall composition, biotic and abiotic stress responses, sugar and hormone metabolism were overrepresented in Aft/Aft atv/atv. Transcriptomic analysis thus revealed that the activation of anthocyanin synthesis in tomato fruit was accompanied by a complex remodulation of gene expression, likely affecting important agronomic and merceological traits.

Tomato nuclear proteome reveals the involvement of specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes in fruit ripening

Project description:Fruits are unique to flowering plants and play a central role in seed maturation and dispersal. Molecular dissection of fruit ripening has received considerable interest because of the biological and dietary significance of fruit. To better understand the regulatory mechanisms underlying fruit ripening, we report here the first comprehensive analysis of the nuclear proteome in tomato fruits. Nuclear proteins were isolated from tomatoes in different stages of ripening, and subjected to iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification) analysis. The proteins that changed abundance across ripening stages are involved in various cellular processes. We additionally evaluated the changes in the nuclear proteome in the ripening-deficient mutant ripening inhibitor (rin) carrying a mutation in the transcription factor RIN. A set of proteins were identified and particular attention was paid to SlUBC32 and PSMD2, the components of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Through chromatin immunoprecipitation and gel mobility shift assay, we provide evidence that RIN directly bound to the promoters of SlUBC32 and PSMD2. Moreover, loss of RIN function affected protein ubiquitination in nuclei. SlUBC32 encodes an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and genome-wide survey of the E2 gene family in tomatoes identified five more E2s as the direct targets of RIN. Two E2s were demonstrated to be involved in the regulation of fruit ripening based on virus-induced gene silencing assays. Our results uncover the novel function of protein ubiquitination, identifying specific E2s as regulator in fruit ripening. These findings contribute to the unraveling of the gene regulatory networks that control fruit ripening.

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhiza on transcriptome of fruits from a commercially used tomato cultivar grown in hydroponics

Project description:Industrialized tomato production faced a decrease in flavours and nutritional values due to conventional breeding and growth conditions. We addressed the question, whether commercially used tomato cultivars grown in a hydroponic system can be mycorrhizal leading to improved fruit quality. Comparing green and red fruits from non-mycorrhizal and mycorrhizal plants, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) should be found possibly being involved in processes regulating fruit maturation and nutrition.

Specific combinatorial mutations in MIR396 genes enlarge the grain size and modulate the plant architecture in rice

Project description:miR396 is a key growth regulator in plants, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying its functions remained to be revealed. Here, through systematically gene-editing, we found that among the MIR396 family genes, MIR396e and -f were the main regulators of rice growth. mir396ef mutations could increase the grain yield through significantly enlarging the grain size. In addition, mir396ef mutations promoted the seedling growth and modulated the plant architecture by promoting the elongations of leaves (including leaf blades and sheaths) and panicles but suppressing the elongation of internodes, especially the uppermost internode. Our research reveals that mir396ef mutations promote the growth and organ elongation by significantly increasing the level of the gibberellin (GA) precursor, mevalonic acid (MVA), which subsequently activates the GA pathway. Our results also indicate that miR396 regulates the internode elongation through a different mechanism (probably through controlling SD37 expression) from the GA pathway. These results reveal two pathways by which miR396 regulates rice growth and provide valuable gene-editing targets to increase rice productivity.

Global gene expression analysis of normal and ripening inhibitor (rin) mutant tomatoes during ripening

Project description:Ripening is an important stage of fruit development to determine its quality as a diet. A tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) MADS-box transcription factor, RIPENING INHIBITOR (RIN), has been believed to serve as a regulator of ripening lying upstream of ethylene-dependent and ethylene-independent pathways. Here, we have conducted global gene expression analysis to comprehensively identify tomato genes whose expressions are affected by the rin mutation using microarray with RNA samples from the normal and rin mutant tomato fruits at the pre-ripening (mature green) and ripening (pink coloring) stages. By analysing this microarray data, we identified 342 of positively regulated and 473 negatively regulated genes by RIN, which showed >5 and <0.2 of the fold change ratio (FC) of normal fruits at the ripening stage relative to those at the pre-ripening stage, respectively, in a RIN-dependent manner. A chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis of the normal ripening tomatoes with the anti-RIN antibody revealed that the positively regulated gene set contained at least 13 direct RIN targets. We monitored global gene expression in normal (PK331 cultivar) and rin mutant (PK353 cultivar) tomatoes at the pre-ripening (mature green, G) and ripening (pink coloring, P) stages using microarray with three biological replicates for each sample.

Cucumber ovaries inhibited by dominant fruits still respond to pollination but display distinct metabolome and transcriptome profiles

Project description:Cucurbits represent an attractive model to explore the dynamics of fruit set. Here we set out to characterize first fruit inhibition (FFI), i.e. the inhibitory effect of the first fruits on subsequent development of younger ovaries during pollination induced fruit set. After the first fertilized ovaries set fruit, younger ovaries fertilized above them on the main stem remained in a temporary state of inhibition. During this stage, the ovaries preserved their size and green color, and if the older fruits were removed within a one-week reversibility window, the inhibited ones set fruit. We compared the gene expression profiles of pollinated ovaries (committed to set fruits) with respect both to those affected by FFI and to non-pollinated ovaries (comitted to senescence). The three fates of the ovaries were characterized at 1 day post anthesis, compare to anthesis, by wide changes in gene expression, with several specific transcripts being up- or down-regulated in response to the presence (or absence) of pollination. Metabolic profiling was undertaken and integrated with the transcriptomic data in order to characterize early physiological changes that occur in post-anthesis ovaries in parthenocarpic and non-parthenocarpic genotypes.

Microarray analysis of gene expression under different light conditions

Project description:The size of tomato fruits are largely dependent on growth conditions. To obtain insights on how light intensity contributes to translocation from a leaf and a fruit, we developed a plant irradiation system based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to a leaf. By using this system, we investigated the changes of transcript profiles of tomato leaves and fruits grown under different light conditions.
