The paternally derived genome opposes seed dormancy induction by the mother plant in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: Seed dormancy in Arabidopsis is known to be mediated by the interaction of maternal and zygotic genomes during seed maturation. While studies have revealed the extensive influence of maternal processes on dormancy and germination, less is known about the influence of the father. Here we exploit differences in ploidy to explore the role of the paternal genome on progeny seed dormancy. We show that paternal genome acts to reduce seed dormancy regardless of maternal genome dose, resulting in lower dormancy in tetraploid Arabidopsis versus genetically identical diploids. We show that this paternal effect requires synthesis of RNA Polymerase IV-dependent RNAs in the male gametophyte which oppose the dormancy- inducing effects of maternal siRNAs on seed coat and endosperm development. We conclude that the paternal genome has evolved to subvert the dormancy-inducing role of the mother plant in progeny seeds.

A VEL3 histone deacetylase complex establishes a maternal epigenetic state controlling progeny seed dormancy

Project description:Mother plants play an important role in the control of dormancy and dispersal characters of their progeny. In Arabidopsis seed dormancy is imposed by the embryo-surrounding tissues of the endosperm and seed coat. Here we show that VERNALIZATION5/VIN3-LIKE 3 (VEL3) maintains maternal control over progeny seed dormancy by establishing an epigenetic state in the central cell that primes the depth of primary seed dormancy later established during seed maturation. VEL3 colocalizes with MSI1 in the nucleolus and associates with a histone deacetylase complex. Furthermore, VEL3 preferentially associates with pericentromeric chromatin and is required for deacetylation and H3K27me3 deposition established in the central cell. The epigenetic state established by maternal VEL3 is retained in mature seeds, and controls seed dormancy in part through repression of programmed cell death-associated gene ORE1. Our data demonstrates a novel mechanism by which maternal control of progeny seed physiology persists post-shedding, maintaining parental control of seed behaviour.

A VEL3 histone deacetylase complex establishes a maternal epigenetic state controlling progeny seed dormancy

Project description:Mother plants play an important role in the control of dormancy and dispersal characters of their progeny. In Arabidopsis seed dormancy is imposed by the embryo-surrounding tissues of the endosperm and seed coat. Here we show that the VERNALIZATION5/VIN3-LIKE 3 (VEL3) gene maintains maternal control over progeny seed dormancy by establishing an epigenetic state early in endosperm development that primes the depth of primary seed dormancy later established during seed maturation. VEL3 relocates MSI1 to the nucleolus and associates with other components of the histone deacetylase complex (HDAC). Furthermore VEL3 preferentially associates with pericentromeric chromatin and is required for deacetylation and H3K27me3 deposition and is required for gene repression via PRC2 and HDAC at pericentromeric regions established in the central cell. Interestingly, the epigenetic state established by the maternal VEL3 is retained trans-generationally in mature seeds, and controls seed dormancy in part through the repression of programmed cell death-associated gene ORE1. Our data demonstrates a novel mechanism by which maternal control of progeny seed physiology persists post-shedding, maintaining parental control of seed behaviour.

RNA-Seq of Arabidopsis thaliana developing siliques and seeds with temperature shifts

Project description:We investigated RNA involved in the maternal control of progeny seed dormancy. Basically, we grew Ler wild type plants at 22 and 16 degree Celsius before fertilization which were moved to 22 degree for seed maturation along with ft-1 plants at 22 degree through lifetime (which show decreased seed germinability). Various RNA fractions were prepared from developing siluqes (seeds removed) and seeds, and sequenced to identify genes involved in transducing maternal memory of temperature to progeny seeds.

Trans-generational adaptation to maternal climate through hormone transport in plants [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Whether and how organisms can inherit environmental information from their parents is a major question in evolutionary theory. Plants have evolved to link reproductive development to seasonal environmental cues and seed dormancy is highly contingent on the environmental temperature during seed set, although the mechanism by which seeds acquire seasonal timing information is unclear. Here we show that loss of maternal like heterochromatin protein 1 (LHP1) causes an inability of progeny seeds to sense temperature and that this is linked mechanistically to reduced ABA levels in seeds and hyperaccumulation of free nitrate. Remarkably, single cell transcriptomics reveals that in both maternal fruit and seed tissues, the effect of small changes in temperature closely phenocopies the lhp1 mutant phenotype and ABA biosensor imaging reveal large fluxes of maternal ABA into seeds is modulated by temperature cues. We show that temperature activates ABA production in leaves and that maternal ABA is necessary and sufficient for progeny seeds to acquire seed dormancy. Thus, we reveal that the climate experience of mother plants causes adaptation of progeny behaviour via hormone transport during seed set.

Deep-sequencing of total RNA from manually dissected wild-type and kyp-2m/KYPp Arabidopsis embryos

Project description:This dataset provide deep-profiling of the embryonic transcriptome of total RNA at an early developmental stage (2-to-4 cells stage) and at the globular stage in Arabidopsis. Embryos were derived from either a cross between a Landsberg erecta (Ler) maternal parent and a Columbia (Col0) paternal parent or a cross between a kyp-2 Ler maternal parent and a Columbia paternal parent. Embryos were manually dissected ensuring no contamination with maternal seed coat or endosperm. 6 samples: crosses between Ler and Col, or kyp-2 (Ler) and Col; Ler seed coat at 2-4cells embryo stage # SC_2.

Extensive imprinted gene expression in Arabidopsis endosperm

Project description:Some flowering plant and vertebrate genes are expressed primarily or exclusively from either the maternal or paternal allele, a phenomenon called genomic imprinting. Flowering plant imprinted gene expression has been described primarily in endosperm, a terminal nutritive tissue consumed by the embryo during seed development or after germination. Imprinted expression in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm is orchestrated by differences in cytosine DNA methylation between the paternal and maternal genomes, as well as by Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. Currently only eleven imprinted Arabidopsis genes are known. Here we use extensive sequencing of cDNA libraries to identify many new paternally and maternally imprinted genes in A. thaliana endosperm, including transcription factors, proteins involved in hormone signaling, and epigenetic regulators. The imprinted status of many maternally-expressed genes is not altered by mutations in the DNA-demethylating glycosylase DEMETER, the DNA methyltransferase MET1 or the core PcG protein FIE, indicating that these genes are regulated by novel mechanisms or deposited from maternal tissues. We did not find any imprinted genes in the embryo. Our results demonstrate that imprinted gene expression, particularly from the maternal genome, is an extensive, mechanistically complex phenomenon that likely affects multiple aspects of seed development.

Effect of myb107 mutation and temperature on seedcoat and endosperm gene expressions during mature green stage

Project description:Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait whereby germination is blocked under favourable conditions to avoid germination out of season. Over time mature dry seeds lose dormancy and gradually acquire the capacity to germinate. Dormancy levels, i.e. the time required to release dormancy of the newly produced dry seed, are influenced by the environment of the mother plant and particularly by cold temperatures, which increase dormancy levels. It is also known that the seed coat, a maternal dead tissue, is important to keep seeds dormant over time, probably by shielding the seed living tissues from atmospheric oxygen. Biochemical and genetical evidence previously established that cold promotes polyester accumulation in the seed coat and mutant seeds deficient in polyester biosynthesis have low dormancy and viability. However, it is unclear which seed coat structures, such as apoplastic barriers, are remodeled or created de novo in response to cold during seed development. Combining histological and genetical approaches, a previously uncharacterized apoplastic barrier located in the outer integument 1 (oi1) cell layer was discovered. This barrier is strongly reinforced by cold and this process requires a MYB107 transcription factor , specifically expressed in oi1 cells. myb107 mutants is lacking the MYB107 TF, lacking the barrier and are less dormant, thus providing direct evidence that this barrier promotes dormancy in Arabidopsis.
