A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. In Arabidopsis, loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to destabilised phyllotaxis, but whether these factors have similar functions in more distantly related species, is not known. Here, we investigated the role of PLTs in shaping cucumber shoot architecture. Through transcriptional analysis, we determined that two of the four homologs - CsPLT3/7 and CsPLT5 - are expressed in complementary domains in the shoot apex. In situ hybridisation showed that whereas CsPLT3/7 was expressed in the shoot apical meristem summit and leaf axils, CsPLT5 transcripts localised beneath the CsPLT3/7 domain and to the adaxial side of leaf primordia. Both transcription factors recognised an ANT-like consensus motif and bound to SAM organising genes in vitro. Using a panel of TILLING mutants of each of the four CsPLT homologs, we only identified strong phenotypic defects for Csplt3/7 mutants. The combination of Csplt1/2 and Csplt3/7 proved embryonic lethal. In young seedlings, loss of CsPLT3/7 caused absence of a shoot apical meristem, which regenerated de novo shoot from a flat shoot apex during subsequent seedling development. Mature Csplt3/7 shoots exhibited defects in internode length stabilisation, revealing both extremely short and long internodes, stem architecture, flower morphology, and axillary organ initiation. Moreover, phyllotactic patterns were slightly shifted from a spiral towards a distichous orientation. We thus provide the first evidence of a role for PLTs in shoot development outside of Arabidopsis.

Leaf margins of indeterminate Arabidopsis leaves

Project description:Leaves are flat determinate organs derived from indeterminate shoot apical meristems. The presence of a specific leaf meristem is debated, as anatomical features typical of meristems are not present in leaves. Here we demonstrate that multiple NGATHA (NGA) and CINCINNATA-class-TCP (CIN-TCP) transcription factors act redundantly to suppress activity of a leaf margin meristem in Arabidopsis thaliana, and that their absence confers persistent marginal growth of leaves, cotyledons and floral organs. The marginal meristem is activated by the juxtaposition of adaxial and abaxial domains and maintained by WOX homeobox transcription factors, but other margin elaboration genes are dispensable for its maintenance. This genetic framework parallels the morphogenetic program of shoot apical meristems and may represent a relic from an ancestral shoot system from which seed plant leaves evolved.

Genetic networks regulating structure and function of the maize shoot apical meristem

Project description:The shoot apical meristem (SAM) of plants, a specialized stem cell niche at the growing shoot tip, integrates developmental and environmental signals to direct the initiation and patterning of new organs such as leaves. Its activity throughout the plant's lifetime is tightly controlled. To gain insight into gene regulatory networks behind stem cell maintenance and organogenesis, we generated a high-resolution gene expression atlas of distinct domains and cell types within the vegetative shoot apex of 14 day-old maize B73 seedlings using laser microdissection and RNA deep sequencing. Data for 9 domains was previously released under SRA: SRP101301. This release adds data for biological duplicate samples collected for the SAM central zone, and the adaxial and abaxial sides of leaf primordia.

Expression data from BIG LEAF

Project description:We study differences in gene expression between Populus P35S::BL (BL-oe) lines and control, affecting plant growth and differentiation, and dormancy. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying morphological and developmental changes droved by overexpression of BL gene. We identified an activation tagging mutant with increased leaf size and correspondingly name it BIG LEAF (BL). We positioned the tag, localized a putative candidate gene and verified transcription activation. The activated gene encodes a WD40 putative transcription regulator similar to the Arabidopsis thaliana STERILE APETALA (SAP). We recapitulated the phenotype by overexpression of the gene into the same genotype under strong constitutive promoter (P35S::BL, BL-oe). Transgenic up-regulation of the BL gene caused enhanced leaf size, early bud-break, and suppression of secondary growth. BL transcript abundance in wild type plants is in apical tissues, mostly in shoot meristem, leaf primordia and axillary meristem. Our data indicates that BL plays an important role in the process of tree growth. Poplar apex, secondary stem (30th internode), and leaves (at 30 node) was selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain expression of affected genes in P35S::BL lines and control wild type (WT-717), in order to increase the resolution of expression profiles inducing the developmental changes in P35S::BL. To do that, we selected apex, stem and leaf tissue from greenhouse healthy plants.

Identification of microRNA394 target genes in A. thaliana

Project description:Expression of the F-Box protein Leaf Curling Responsiveness (LCR) is regulated by microRNA, miR394, and alterations to this interplay in Arabidopsis thaliana produce defects in leaf polarity and shoot apical meristem (SAM) organisation. Although the miR394-LCR node has been documented in Arabidopsis, the identification of proteins targeted by LCR F-box itself has proven problematic. Here, a proteomic analysis of shoot apices from plants with altered LCR levels identified a member of the Major Latex Protein (MLP) family gene as a potential LCR F-box target. Bioinformatic and molecular analyses also suggested that other MLP family members are likely to be targets for this post-translational regulation. Direct interaction between LCR F-Box and MLP423 was validated. Additional MLP members had reduction in protein accumulation, in varying degrees, mediated by LCR F-Box. Transgenic Arabidopsis lines, in which MLP28 expression was reduced through an artificial miRNA technology, displayed severe developmental defects, including changes in leaf patterning and morphology, shoot apex defects, and eventual premature death. These phenotypic characteristics resemble those of Arabidopsis plants modified to over-express LCR. Taken together, the results demonstrate that MLPs are driven to degradation by LCR, and indicate that MLP gene family is target of miR394-LCR regulatory node, representing potential targets for directly post-translational regulation mediated by LCR F-Box. In addition, MLP28 family member is associated with the LCR regulation that is critical for normal Arabidopsis development.
