Identification of the zinc finger transcription factor SlZFP2 as a new regulator of locular tissue morphogenesis

ABSTRACT: In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit, locular tissue (LT) is a unique jelly-like structure that differentiates from the central axis of the fruit following ovule fertilization. LT is essential for seed development and dispersal, preventing early germination and initiating fruit ripening. In this work, we studied a “gel-less” mutant and identified the underlying mutation in the coding sequence of the C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor (TF) SlZFP2. Histological, cytological and molecular characterization of zfp2-CRISPR/Cas9 knockout lines revealed an early and significant impact of zfp2 disruption on cell division and endoreduplication in LT. Further, model-based analysis of cellular data revealed that the cell division was the main altered process explaining the zfp2 mutant phenotype. RNA-seq analysis of young LT further highlighted global transcriptional changes of cell cycle-related genes between WT and zfp2 mutants, providing new insights into the molecular players involved in locular tissue differentiation. This multi-faceted approach uncovers SlZFP2 as a novel regulator of LT morphogenesis and reveals its main action in regulating cell division. While LT developmental processes are poorly investigated and only rare regulators have been described yet, this work on SlZFP2 establishes groundwork for future studies aimed at deciphering the complex regulatory networks governing fruit tissue development.

Ploidy-specific transcriptomes shed light on the heterogeneous identity and metabolism of developing pericarp cells

Project description:Endoreduplication, during which cells increase their DNA content through successive rounds of full genome replication without cell division, is the major source of endopolyploidy in higher plants. Endoreduplication plays pivotal roles in plant growth and development and is associated with the activation of specific transcriptional programs that are characteristic to each cell type, thereby defining their identity. In plants, endoreduplication is found in numerous organs and cell types and especially in agronomically valuable ones, such as the fleshy fruit (pericarp) of tomato presenting high ploidy levels. We used the tomato pericarp tissue as a model system to explore the transcriptomes associated with endoreduplication progression during fruit growth. We confirmed that expression globally scales with ploidy level and identified sets of genes differentially expressed when comparing ploidy levels at a specific developmental stage. We found that non-endoreduplicated cells are defined by cell division state and cuticle synthesis while endoreduplicated cells are mainly defined by their metabolic activity changing rapidly over time. By combining this dataset with publicly available spatiotemporal pericarp expression data, we proposed a map describing the distribution of ploidy levels within the pericarp. These transcriptome-based predictions were validated by quantifying ploidy levels within the pericarp tissue. This in situ ploidy quantification revealed the dynamic progression of endoreduplication and its cell layer specificity during early fruit development. In summary, the study sheds light on the complex relationship between endoreduplication, cell differentiation, and gene expression patterns in the tomato pericarp.

Spatial-temporal order of regulation in tomato early fruit development

Project description:Early fruit development is crucial for crop production in tomato. After fertilization, the ovary undergoes a cell division and a cell expansion stages before maturation. Although the roles of regulatory signals such as hormone and carbohydrate during early fruit development have been studied, the spatial distribution and the sequential initiation of these regulatory signals is still poorly understood. Using the cultivated tomato “Moneymaker” as materials, we analyzed the transcriptome of the ovule and the ovary wall dissected from the different stages of the early developing fruits. These datasets provide us the whole picture about the spatial and temporal signal distribution of fruit formation which has not been studied in such a detailed manner. Our results suggest that the hormone signal was initiated in both ovule and ovary wall after fertilization. After that, the different signals were activated in ovule and ovary wall due to their distinct developmental processes. By analyzing the global expression profiling of hormone related genes, we found that the auxin might be synthesized in both ovule and ovary wall after fertilization. The expression pattern of sugar related genes revealed the different carbohydrate metabolism events occurred in ovule and ovary wall. At last, we identified a gene showed tissue and stage specific expression pattern and localized in previously reported fruit weight locus which might be selected during tomato breeding.

Transcription profiling of tomato - organ specificity of wax biosynthesis

Project description:Fruits and leaves of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar MicroTom were investigated. MicroTom wild type and lecer6 mutant with a deficiency in a fatty acid beta-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (LeCER6) were used. The samples were composed of mature green, whole fruits with seeds being removed (fruit developmental category II). The locular tissue (gel) that surrounded the seeds and fills the locular cavity were detached. Otherwise, the samples contained fully developed leaves. After sampling point the plant material was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C until use.

Gene regulation in parthenocarpic tomato fruit

2009-08-31 | GSE14358 | GEO

Transcription profiling of parthenocarpic tomato fruit

Project description:To evaluate the role of seeds in fruit quality, we induced parthenocarpy in tomato by regulating ovule-specific auxin synthesis or responsiveness using the INO promoter from A. thaliana, which is expressed in the outer layer of the integuments during early stages of ovule development. We compared these to fruit where the same coding regions were expressed from the DeFH9 promoter which is expressed in carpel tissues during early stages of ovule development. Expression of auxin synthesis or responsiveness genes by both of these promoters produced seedless parthenocarpic tomato fruit. We compared fruit samples using the Affymetrix tomato GeneChip (GPL4741) to determine how gene regulation and expression differed between wild-type and transgenic fruit. Experiment Overall Design: Wild-type fruit with seeds was compared with transgenic lines INO-IaaM, DefH9-IaaM, INO-RolB, and DefH9-RolB. To find genes with seed-specific expression, we also compared the control with wild-type fruit from which seeds had been manually removed. We had three biological replicates for each treatment and control except DefH9-RolB, for which only two replicates were available. Each CEL file from the microarray represents one plant from each line.

Combining QTL mapping and gene expression analysis to elucidate the genetic control of ‘crumbly’ fruit in red raspberry

Project description:‘Crumbly’ fruit is a developmental disorder in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) that results in malformed fruit with poor adherence of drupelets to one another. In terms of quality and yield, crumbly fruit has become a serious problem in the raspberry industry resulting in unsaleable fruit and waste. A microarray experiment, using pools of progeny from a segregating mapping population (Glen Moy x Latham) with either 'normal' or 'crumbly' fruit at three different fruit developmental stages ('closed'; 'open'; 'green'), identified several genes that were differentially expressed between the crumbly and non-crumbly phenotypes within three quantitative trait loci (QTL) identified. Analysis of gene function highlighted the importance of processes that compromise ovule fertilization as triggers of the crumbly fruit phenotype.

MicroRNAs Associated with AGL6 and IAA9 function in tomato fruit set

Project description:Fruit set is triggered after ovule fertilization, as a consequence of the downregulation of ovary growth repressors, such as the tomato transcription factors Auxin/indole-3-acetic acid 9 (IAA9) and Agamous-like 6 (AGL6). We produced small RNA libraries from IAA9- and AGL6-silenced ovaries to identify miRNAs differentially expressed in IAA9- and AGL6-silenced ovaries as compared with unpollinated control ovaries. The identified miRNAs represent a pool of regulatory sRNAs potentially involved in tomato fruit initiation.

Transcriptome profiling reveals roles of meristem regulators and polarity genes during multicellular fruit trichome development in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).

Project description:Trichomes are the hair-like structures that are widely present on the surface of aerial organs and function in plant defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. Previous studies focus on the single cell trichomes in Arabidopsis and cotton, or multicellular glandular trichomes in tomato, but the developmental process and molecular mechanisms controlling multicellular non-glandular trichome development are largely neglected. Here, we extensively characterized the fruit trichome (spine) development in wild type cucumber and in a tiny branched hair (tbh) mutant that contains a spontaneous mutation and has hairless foliage and smooth fruit surface. Our data indicated that cucumber trichome was multicellular and non-glandular, with no branches or endoreduplication. Further, the major feature of cucumber trichome development was spine base expansion. Transcriptome profiling through Digital Gene Expression indicated that meristem-related genes and transcription factors were implicated in the fruit spine development, and polarity regulators were upregulated during spine base expansion. qRT-PCR verified the reliability of our RNA-SEQ data, and in situ hybridization confirmed the enriched expression of meristem regulators CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON3 (CUC3) and STM (SHOOT MERISTEMLESS) , as well as the abaxial identity gene KANADI (KAN) in cucumber fruit spine. Together, our results suggest a distinct regulatory pathway involving meristem genes and polarity regulators in multicellular trichome development in cucumber. Using Digital Gene Expression technology to compare the genome-wide gene expression profiles in the fruit spines of wild type cucumber and the tbh mutant, as well as the fruit spines on fruits of 0.5cm and 1.6cm long, repectively. Two biological repelicates were generated for each tissue.

Senescence time course of unfertilized Arabidopsis thaliana ovules

Project description:Flowers have a species-specific fertile period during which pollination and fertilization have to occur to initiate seed and fruit development. Within the flower, the functional life span of the ovule containing the female gametophyte is decisive for fertilization and the initiation of seed development. Here we performed an RNA-sequencing based transcriptome analysis of senescing unfertilized ovules during in a time series. We isolated ovules from Arabidopsis thaliana flowers emasculated at stage 12c at three different time points: 2 days after emasculation (DAE), 3 DAE, and 4 DAE. These time points correspond to intact mature ovules (2DAE), early ovule senescence (3 DAE), and late ovule senescence (4 DAE). We extracted total RNA from the ovules in 3 independent biological replicates, thus generating 9 RNA samples in total, for RNA-sequencing by Illumina HiSeq.
