Project description:In flowering plants, the male gametophyte, the pollen, develops in the anther. Complex patterns of gene expression in both the gametophytic and sporophytic tissues of the anther regulate this process. The gene expression profiles of the microspore/pollen and the sporophytic tapetum are of particular interest. In this study, a microarray technique combined with laser microdissection (44K LM-microarray) was developed and used to characterize separately the transcriptomes of the microspore/pollen and tapetum in rice. Expression profiles of 11 known tapetum specific-genes were consistent with previous reports. Based on the spatiotemporal expression patterns and gene ontology (GO) categories of anther-expressed genes, some noteworthy expression patterns are discussed in connection with various important biological events of anther development. The separated transcriptomes of rice microspore/pollen and tapetum were measured at the premeiosis, meiosis, tetrad, uninuclear, bicellular, and tricelluar stages by using laser microdissection (LM)-mediated microarray.

Project description:N-terminal acetylation of proteins is a key modification in eukaryotes; however, our understanding of its biological function in plants is limited. Naa50 is the catalytic subunit of the protein N-terminal acetyltransferase NatE complex. We previously showed that the absence of Naa50 led to sterility in Arabidopsis thaliana. In the present study, we show that a lack of Naa50 in Arabidopsis resulted in collapsed and sterile pollen grains. Further study revealed that the mutation of Naa50 accelerated programmed cell death in the tapetum. Expression pattern analysis showed that Naa50 was specifically expressed in tapetal cells from anthers at stages 9–11 of pollen development, when tapetal programmed cell death occurs. Reciprocal cross analyses indicated that the male sterility of naa50 plants was due to sporophytic effects. Transcriptome sequencing of closed buds showed that the deletion of Naa50 resulted in up-regulation of the cysteine protease-coding gene CEP1 and impaired the expression of several genes that function in pollen wall deposition and pollen mitosis. Our findings suggest that Naa50 regulates cell degradation in the tapetum during anther development and plays an important role in pollen development by affecting several pathways.

Project description:Pollen is the male gametophyte of land plants. Proper development and maturation of pollen is necessary for the successful reproduction of seed plants. This process involves sophisticated coordination between sporophytic and gametophytic tissues in anthers. To advance the mechanistic studies of anther development, additional players need to be discovered for a comprehensive understanding of the underlying regulatory network. Here we show that the Arabidopsis dual specificity tyrosine phophorylated and regulated kinase (DRYK), AtYAK1, is essential for development of rosette leaves and the male but not female gametophyte in Arabidopsis. Arabidopsis mutant plants carrying a mutation in AtYAK1 produce developmentally stalled microspores, likely because of the defects in the two consecutive mitosis steps in the post-meiotic maturation process of pollen. The mutation of AtYAK1 has a significant effect on gene expression programs in developing pollen. Transcritpome analysis of atyak1 revealed downstream genes in families of protein kinases, transporters and transcription factors, which potentially contribute to pollen development. This study represents the first molecular characterization of DYRK in the plant kingdom. Our results also imply that the regulation of cytokinesis by DYRKs is evolutionally conserved in fungus, fruit fly, animals and plants.

Project description:Using microarray, the anther transcript profiles of the three indica rice CMS lines revealed 622 differentially expression genes (DEGs) in each of the three CMS lines. GO and Mapman analysis indicated that these DEGs were mainly involved in lipid metabolic and cell wall organization. Comprised with the gene expression of sporophytic and gametophytic CMS lines, 303 DEGs were differentially expressed and 56 of them were down-regulated in all the CMS lines. Co-expression network analysis suggested that many genes were significantly differentially expressed in the CMS lines. These down-regulated DEGs in the CMS lines were found to be involved in tapetum or cell wall formation and their suppressed expression might be related to male sterility. The present study will give some information for the nuclear gene regulation by different cytoplasmic genotypes and provide some candidate genes for pollen development in rice.

Project description:Highly coordinated pollen wall patterning is essential for male reproductive development. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in these processes remain poorly understood. Here, we report the identification of Defective Microspore Development1 (DMD1), which encodes a nuclear-localized protein possessing transactivation activity. DMD1 is preferentially expressed in the tapetum and microspores during postmeiotic anther development. Mutations in DMD1 cause a male sterile phenotype with impaired microspore cell integrity. The mutants display abnormal callose degradation, and primexine thickening is inhibited in the newly released microspores. The expression levels of several genes associated with callose degradation and primexine formation are down-regulated in dmd1 anthers. Moreover, irregular Ubisch body morphology and discontinuous endexine is observed in dmd1, and the baculum is completely absent. DMD1 interacts with Tapetum Degeneration Retardation (TDR), a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor required for exine formation. Taken together, our results suggest that DMD1 is responsible for microspore cell integrity, primexine formation, and exine pattern formation during rice microspore development, and is a potential approach for manipulating male fertility in hybrid rice breeding.

Project description:Pollen grains are coated with a pollen wall which protects the microspore from various biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as facilitates male-female interaction. During pollen wall development, many compounds are transported from the tapetum to the developing pollen wall via tapetum-specific membrane transporters, and male sterility is often observed when membrane transporter’s function or localization is altered. Here, we show that mutating AP1/2β1 and AP1/2β2, two homologous genes of AP1/2β which encodes a large subunit shared by adaptor protein 1 (AP-1) and adaptor protein 2 (AP-2) complexes in Arabidopsis, impair pollen exine formation and cause reduced pollen germination rate and slowed pollen tube growth. However, the shared theory of AP1/2β is not proved in Arabidopsis.

Project description:To investigate the potential function of miRNAs during male gametogenesis in rice, we first obtained gene expression profiles by using Affymetrix microarray technologies. In genome-scale, we found a common characteristic shared by rice and Arabidopsis, which vast of genes are down regulated from Pb to Pc stage. next, a total of 13363 genes were detected during the gametophyte development in rice, which contains 2925 pollen-enriched/-specific genes including 107 transcription factors. We also analyzed the microarray-based expression patterns of genes in miRNA pathways, and found 3 pollen-specific AGO genes (AGO12, AGO13 and AGO17). This subseries contains three datasets of gene expression in pollen development stages: uninucleate microspore (UNM/Pa), bicellular pollen (BCP/Pb) and tricellular pollen (TCP/Pc)

Project description:Sperm cells represent the male partner that fuses with the egg cell during fertilization in all multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms, and, in flowering plants, is a founder of both embryo and nutritive endosperm. We examined the transcriptome of Oryza sativa ssp. japonica using the Affymetrix 57K rice genome GeneChip to provide an overview of genes activated in the paternal gamete. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in mature pollen and sperm cells at anthesis, which constitutes the stage immediately preceding pollen germination and gamete deposition leading up to fertilization. This documents the condition of the male gametophytic cells prior to fertilization. Keywords: tissue expression profile, male gametophyte, sperm, pollen, seedling Male gametophytic cells consisting of isolated pollen and isolated sperm cells collected at anthesis were compared with seedlings containing leaf, stem, root and apical meristems as a vegetative sporophytic control; three separate biological replicates were used.

Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of single, double and triple mutant anthers of bhlh010, bhlh089 and bhlh091. We examine here three recently duplicated Arabidopsis bHLH genes, bHLH010, bHLH089 and bHLH091, using evolutionary, genetic, morphological and transcriptomic approaches, and uncover their redundant functions in anther development. These three genes are relatively highly expressed in the tapetum of the Arabidopsis anther; single mutants at each of the bHLH010, bHLH089 and bHLH091 loci are developmentally normal, but the various double and triple combinations progressively exhibit increasingly defective anther phenotypes (abnormal tapetum morphology, delayed callose degeneration, and aborted pollen development), indicating their redundant functions in male fertility. Note: Samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession. This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence “Source Name” was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
