Two LEAFY homologues regulate floral patterning and development without affecting flowering time in kiwifruit

ABSTRACT: Actinidia chinensis (kiwifruit) are economically important fruit-bearing woody perennial vines, but with a long juvenile phase which slows plant breeding efforts. LEAFY (LFY) encodes a plant specific transcription factor central to the reproductive pathway in many plants, and its overexpression can accelerate flowering including in some trees. We identified two kiwifruit LFY (AcLFY) genes, expressed in actively-growing apical buds. Overexpression of AcLFY1 or AcLFY2 promoted flowering in Arabidopsis, but did not accelerate flowering in kiwifruit. Instead, branching at the lower nodes and changes in leaf morphology were observed. CRISPR-Cas9 targeted mutagenesis of AcLFY1 and/or AcLFY2 in a fast-flowering hermaphrodite kiwifruit background generated single and double mutants. The mutants flowered at the same time as control lines. Single mutants developed normal flowers, but double knockout mutations had severe effects on floral patterning and floral organ development. Petals and stamens were strongly affected, impacting on self-pollination, fruit size and shape. RNA-seq showed the two AcLFY genes were differentially regulated by the expression of a floral repressor CENTRORADIALIS gene AcCEN4. These results suggest that the AcLFY genes control plant architecture and contribute together to floral organ development and floral patterning which has implications for successful pollination and fruit set in kiwifruit.

LEAFY target genes reveal a link between flower development and biotic stimulus response (III)

Project description:The transition from vegetative growth to flower formation is critical for the survival of flowering plants. The plant-specific transcription factor LEAFY (LFY) has central, evolutionarily conserved roles in this process, both in the formation of the first flower and later in floral patterning. We performed genome-wide binding and expression studies to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which LFY executes these roles. Our study reveals that LFY directs an intricate regulatory network in control of floral homeotic gene expression and, unexpectedly, controls the expression of genes regulating the response to external stimuli in Arabidopsis. We further show that LFY dampens responses to a bacterial MAMP (microbe-associated molecular pattern) and to pathogen challenge. Our findings suggest a molecular mechanism for the coordination of reproductive stage development and disease response programs in plants. Regulation of these distinct survival programs by a single transcription factor may ensure optimal allocation of plant resources for reproductive fitness. Expression array analysis used to identify genes differentially expressed upon LFY induction in 9-day-old shoot apices. Expression array analysis of 9-day-old 35S::LFY-GR dexamethasone-treated seedlings compared to 9-day-old WT dexamethasone-treated seedlings. Four biological replicate samples.

High-throughput Illumina sequencing of bisulfite transformed genomic DNA from Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type, msh1 mutant and MSH1-epiF3 lines

Project description:Arabidopsis msh1 mutants display developmental reprogramming (dr) phenotypes, include reduction in growth, enhanced branching, and delayed maturation and flowering time. MSH1-epi lines were derived by crossing MSH-dr lines with Col-0 wild type, followed by selection for homozygous MSH1/MSH1 F2 plants and serial self-pollination. MSH1-epiF3 plants displayed phenotypic variation in plant growth, showing enhanced growth, larger rosette diameter, thicker floral stems and earlier flowering time. We carried bisulfite sequencing and uncover the methylome changes accompany the heritable MSH1-epi phenotypes that condition dramatic variation in plant growth.

The F-box cofactor UFO redirects the LEAFY floral regulator to novel cis-elements

Project description:In angiosperms, flower patterning requires the localized expression of the APETALA3 (AP3) floral homeotic gene involved in petal and stamen development. AP3 is synergistically induced by the master transcription factor LEAFY (LFY) and the F-box protein UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS (UFO), but the molecular mechanism underlying this synergy has remained unknown. Here we show that the connection to ubiquitination pathways suggested by the F-box domain of UFO is mostly dispensable and that UFO instead acts by forming a transcriptional complex with LFY on newly discovered regulatory elements. The cryo-electron microscopy structure of the UFO-LFY-DNA complex shows that UFO-DNA contacts allows relocating LFY to novel DNA sites. Finally, we show that this complex has a deep evolutionary origin, largely predating flowering plants. This work unravels an unsuspected role for a member of one of the largest protein families in plants as a modulator of the DNA binding specificity of a master TF.

Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis micro-dissected apical tissue harvested 0, 3, 5, and 7 days after the shift to LD from SD

Project description:Floral transition and flower development are regulated by numerous environmental and endogenous signals, which are integrated at a relatively small number of floral integrators, such as FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and SUPPRESSOR OF CONSTANS OVEREXPRESSION 1 (SOC1). Of the environmental factors, photoperiod is regarded the most important one in promoting floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana and most labstrains will flower earlier under long day (LD) conditions than under short day (SD) conditions. Arabidopsis is therefore considered a facultative LD plant. To monitor gene expression changes during floral transition and early flower development plants were grown under SD (9 hr light, 15 hr dark) for 30 days. Plants were then shifted to LD (16 hr light, 8 hr dark) conditions to induce flowering. RNA was isolated from micro-dissected apical tissue harvested 0, 3, 5, and 7 days after the shift to LD and double-stranded cDNA was synthesized. Biotinylated cRNA probes were prepared and hybridized to the Affymetrix ATH1 array in duplicate (biological replicates). To study floral transition, we not only analyzed response of wildtype Landsberg erecta (Ler) plants, but also the effect of mutants in the flowering time genes CONSTANS (CO; co-2) and FT (ft-2). Early flower development was analyzed by comparing Col-0 wildtype plants with the meristem identity mutant lfy-12 (Col-0).
