Project description:affy_rewatering_poplar - rewatering - Biological question (15 lines max): Xylogenesis is a complex process and is highly influenced by environmental factors. Numerous studies have shown xylem structural acclimation to moderate and long-lasting water deficits. A decrease in cell lumen size and an increase in vessel density are generally observed. Other preliminary experiments in our laboratory focusing on a short and progressive drought-rewatering cycle in poplar show a gradual decrease in fibre size with decreasing water availability and an important rise in vessel number with irrigation recovery. This suggests a reorientation during the early stages of cambial derivatives differentiation towards vessel formation. The aim of this study is to characterize global gene expression in young differentiating xylem of poplar in response to a drought-rewatering cycle. Results should provide a comprehensive genomic basis for the xylem structural modifications observed.-The experimental design consisted in a differential water supply. Experiments were done on tilted trees to induce tension wood formation. Trees were regularly irrigated at full capacitance until July 18, 2007, the beginning of the experiment. Two sets of plants were designed. For each set, irrigation was withheld until July 25, 2007. At this time, one of the two sets (treated-sample) was re-irrigated at full capacitance during 14hrs (WDR) while the other one was maintained under water deficit (WD). Samples were collected after the 14hrs for all trees. Keywords: treated vs untreated comparison 6 arrays - poplar

Project description:The plant xylem tissue is responsible for water transportation, mechanical support and lateral growth, and can be utilized as wood. The seed plant xylem has a radial system composed of ray parenchyma cells and an axial system of fusiform cells, including tracheids in gymnosperms and vessel elements and libriform fibers in angiosperms. Little is known about the developmental programs and evolutionary relationships of these xylem cell types. Here we show that the radial and axial systems of stem-differentiating xylem are differentially conserved across four divergent woody angiosperms. Through transcriptomic profiling of single cells and cell-type regions isolated by laser capture microdissection, we identified cell types corresponding to single-cell clusters in Populus trichocarpa. Cross-species analyses of single-cell trajectories demonstrated highly conserved development in ray lineages across angiosperms. While the core eudicots P. trichocarpa and Eucalyptus grandis share nearly identical fusiform cell lineages, the tracheids in the basal eudicot Trochodendron aralioides, an evolutionarily reversed character, exhibited an expression pattern highly similar to that of vessel elements. It suggests that water transportation, instead of mechanical support, is the dominant feature of tracheary elements. Furthermore, we found that the more basal angiosperm Liriodendron chinense has a distinct fusiform lineage. This evo-developmental framework of xylem cell lineages provides a comprehensive understanding of the formation of the most abundant tissue on Earth.

Project description:Secondary vascular system (SVS) development resulted from cambial growth is a currently not well understood process. Therefore, more studies are needed to shed more lights on the molecular mechanisms underpinning the cambial activity. The regeneration of SVS from debarked trunk that can mimic the vascular cambium-driven wood formation has developed and could be used to revealed a larger number of differentially expressed genes during the stages of cambium formation and xylem differentiation in Populus tomentosa. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in 6 time points during the regeneration of SVS.

Project description:<p>Wood, or secondary xylem, is the product of xylogenesis, a developmental process that begins with the proliferation of cambial derivatives and ends with mature xylem fibers and vessels with lignified secondary cell walls. Fully mature xylem has undergone a series of cellular processes, including cell division, cell expansion, secondary wall formation, lignification and programmed cell death. A complex network of interactions between transcriptional regulators and signal transduction pathways controls wood formation. However, the role of metabolites during this developmental process has not been comprehensively characterized. To evaluate the role of metabolites during wood formation, we performed a high spatial resolution metabolomics study of the wood-forming zone of Populus tremula, including laser dissected aspen ray and fiber cells. We show that metabolites show specific patterns within the wood-forming zone, following the differentiation process from cell division to cell death. The data from profiled laser dissected aspen ray and fiber cells suggests that these two cell types host distinctly different metabolic processes. Furthermore, by integrating previously published transcriptomic and proteomic profiles generated from the same trees, we provide an integrative picture of molecular processes, for example, deamination of phenylalanine during lignification is of critical importance for nitrogen metabolism during wood formation.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>UPLC-MS assay of Wood ring and extraxylary tissue</strong> is reported in the current study <strong>MTBLS1797</strong>.</p><p><strong>GC-MS assay of Wood ring and extraxylary tissue</strong> is reported in <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS1796' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'><strong>MTBLS1796</strong></a>.</p><p><strong>UPLC-MS assay of Wood fibre and ray cell tissue</strong> is reported in <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS1831' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'><strong>MTBLS1831</strong></a>.</p>

Project description:The within-tree variation in wood properties constitutes an exceptional model to study the mechanisms that adjust the different biosynthetic pathways providing substrates with the massive and variable demands of different biosynthetic reactions of cell wall polymers. Although a few genes have been reported as differentially expressed in differentiating compression wood compared to normal or opposite wood, the expression of a larger set of genes is expected to change due the broad range of features that distinguish this reaction wood. By combining the construction of different cDNA libraries with microarray analyses, using samples from different Pinus pinaster provenances collected in different years and geographic locations, we have identified a total of 496 genes that change their expression during differentiation of compression wood (331 up-regulated and 165 down-regulated compared to opposite wood). Consistent with the well-known structural and chemical characteristics of compression wood, a large number of genes involved in the biosynthesis of cell wall components were shown to be up-regulated during compression wood differentiation, including genes involved in synthesis of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and lignans. In particular, further analysis of a set of these genes involved in providing S-adenosylmethionine, ammonium recycling, lignin and lignans biosynthesis showed parallel expression profiles to levels of lignin accumulation in cells undergoing xylogenesis in vivo and in vitro. The comparative transcriptomic analysis of compression and opposite wood formation in this work have revealed a broad spectrum of coordinated transcriptional modulation of biosynthetic reactions for different cell wall polymers associated to within-tree variations in softwood structure and composition. In particular, it suggest the occurrence of a mechanism that modulates at transcriptional level genes encoding enzymes involved in S-adenosylmethionine synthesis and ammonium assimilation with coniferyl alcohol demand for lignin and lignan synthesis, as a key metabolic requirement in cells undergoing lignification. Two-condition experiment including dye-swap experiments, Compression Differentiating Xylem vs. Opposite Differentiating Xylem. Biological replicates: 4 compression xylem, 4 opposite xylew, harvested from four different individual pine trees. Two replicates per array.

Project description:rs04-03_myb - myb - Xylogenesis is a fundamental developmental process that is specific of vascular plants. It allows the formation of xylem, also called wood in trees, a complex tridimensional tissue composed of different cell types. This process occurs through the control of fundamental cell mechanisms like cell division and differentiation, secondary cell wall synthesis, lignin deposition and programmed cell death. Xylogenesis is controlled spatially and temporally by specific genetic programs that involve hundreds of genes. For instance, lignin biosynthetic genes, CAD and CCR, are specifically expressed during xylogenesis through MYB transcription factor binding sites, a process that seems to be common to all vascular plants. We have cloned two xylem specific MYB transcription factors, EgMYB1 et EgMYB2, in Eucalyptus. Interestingly, they are able to bind MYB consensus sequences of CAD and CCR promoters in vitro and to modulate CAD and CCR expression in vivo. When overexpressed in Arabidopsis or tobacco, they affect xylem structure by changing cell wall structure and quality. To follow expression changes of Arabidopsis genes in transgenic plants overexpressing Eg MYB1 and EgMYB2 should help us to find out which genes might be target of those transcription factors. This should help us to decipher the actual role of those two MYBs in xylogenesis, two new members of a large family of transcription factors in plants. - Xylogenesis is a fundamental developmental process that is specific of vascular plants.
