Single-cell RNA-sequencing profiles reveal the developmental landscape of hawthorn leaves.

ABSTRACT: Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) is a valuable genus of medicinal and edible plants in the Rosaceae family that are rich in bioactive compounds. We applied complementary protoplast‑based single‑cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‑seq) and nucleus‑based snRNA‑seq to construct the first single‑cell atlas of hawthorn leaves. We optimized isolation protocols for two Crataegus species (C. pinnatifida var. major and C. scabrifolia), generated four single‑cell transcriptomic libraries across platforms, and profiled 32,292 high‑quality cells to explore the developmental landscape of hawthorn leaves. The cells were clustered into sixteen groups that we annotated into nine major leaf cell types (mesophyll, pavement, guard, xylem, metaxylem, phloem parenchyma, companion, sieve element, and meristematic cells), revealing extensive cellular heterogeneity and candidate marker genes. Pseudotime reconstruction revealed branched developmental trajectories, and cell‑type‑resolved profiling revealed the cell‑specific expression of flavonoid biosynthetic genes. This single‑cell atlas lays a foundation for mechanistic investigations of tissue‑specific metabolite biosynthesis and offers a cellular framework to guide future functional studies and trait improvement breeding in hawthorn.

Single-cell transcriptome atlas reveals developmental trajectories and a novel metabolic pathway of catechin esters in tea leaves

Project description:The tea plant is an economically important woody beverage crop. The unique taste of tea is evoked by certain metabolites, especially catechin esters, whereas their precise formation mechanism in different cell types remains unclear. Here, a fast protoplast isolation method was established and the transcriptional profiles of 16,977 single cells from 1st and 3rd leaves were investigated. We first identified 78 marker genes based on six isolated tissues and constructed a transcriptome atlas, mapped developmental trajectories, and further delineated the distribution of different cell types during leaf differentiation, and genes associated with cell fate transformation. Interestingly, eight differently expressed genes were found to co-exist at four branch points. Genes involved in the biosynthesis of certain metabolites showed cell- and development-specific characteristics. An unexpected catechin ester glycosyltransferase was characterized for the first time in plants by a gene co-expression network in mesophyll cells. Thus, the first single-cell transcriptional landscape in woody crop leave was reported and a novel metabolism pathway of catechin esters in plants was discovered.

Proteomics of isolated sieve tubes from N.tabacum

Project description:Symplasmicly connected cells called sieve elements form a network of tubes in the phloem of vascular plants. Sieve elements have essential functions as they provide routes for photoassimilate distribution, the exchange of developmental signals, and the coordination of defense responses. Nonetheless, they are the least understood main type of plant cells. They are extremely sensitive, possess a reduced endomembrane system without Golgi apparatus, and lack nuclei and translation machineries, so that transcriptomics and similar techniques cannot be applied. Moreover, the analysis of phloem exudates as a proxy for sieve element composition is marred by methodological problems. We developed a simple protocol for the isolation of sieve elements from leaves and stems of Nicotiana tabacum at sufficient amounts for large-scale proteome analysis. By quantifying the enrichment of individual proteins in purified sieve element relative to bulk phloem preparations, proteins of increased likelyhood to function specifically in sieve elements were identified. To evaluate the validity of this approach, YFP-constructs of genes encoding three of the candidate proteins were expressed in plants. Tagged proteins occurred exclusively in sieve elements. Two of them, a putative cytochrome b561/ferric reductase and a reticulon-like protein, appeared restricted to ER segments that were inaccessible to the luminal ER marker, HDEL-GFP, suggesting a previously unknown differentiation of the endomembrane system in sieve elements. Evidently, our list of promising candidate proteins provides a valuable exploratory tool for sieve element biology.

Project description:We isolated Vascular specific root protoplast using the pWOL:GFP marker line (Birnbaum et al., 2003) and Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). FACS-treated root protoplast from wild type plants (Col0) were used as control.

Single-protoplast and single-nucleus sequencing of the leaves of two C4 species: Gynandropsis gynandra and Flaveria bidentis

Project description:In this study, we optimized protocols for single-nucleus and single-protoplast RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to generate high-resolution transcriptome atlases for two C4 plant species, Gynandropsis gynandra and Flaveria bidentis. Using Chromium (10X Genomics) technology, we generated single-nucleus and single-protoplast RNA-seq libraries for both species and mapped raw reads to their respective genomes. After quality control, doublet removal, and batch correction, we produced gene expression matrices and performed clustering analysis. We identified major leaf cell types, confirmed the known patterns of C4 gene compartmentalization, and identified conserved and species-specific transcription factors that may contribute to C4 evolution. Our dataset provides a valuable resource for studying the regulatory dynamics of C4 photosynthesis at cellular resolution and offers insights into the evolution of C4 traits.

Control of plasma membrane-associated actin polymerization specifies the pattern of the cell wall in xylem vessels.

Project description:Cell wall patterning is central to determining the shape and function of plant cells. Protoxylem and metaxylem vessel cells deposit banded and pitted cell walls, respectively, which enable their distinctive water transport capabilities, but the mechanisms that specify which cell wall pattern is laid down remain unknown. Here, we show that the pitted cell wall pattern in metaxylem vessels is specified by transcriptional control of actin polymerization. A newly isolated allele of KNOTTED-like homeobox transcription factor 7 (KNAT7) was associated with the formation of banded cell walls in metaxylem vessels. To identify the genes responsible for altering the cell wall pattern in knat7 xylem vessels, we performed an RNA-seq analysis of knat7. We used in vitro cultures of hypocotyls and cotyledons because the population of differentiating xylem cells in intact roots is tiny and these methods efficiently induce ectopic differentiation of xylem vessel elements. Formin Homology Domain-Containing Protein 11 (FH11) was upregulated in knat7 metaxylem, but expressed only in protoxylem vessels in wild-type plants. Loss of FH11 suppressed the knat7 phenotype. Conversely, ectopic overexpression of FH11 in metaxylems mimicked the knat7 phenotype. FH11 function required its plasma membrane anchoring and the actin polymerization activity. Actin polymerization by FH11 at the plasma membrane caused the dispersion of activated ROP GTPases, the determinant of pit formation. These results suggest that decontrol of actin polymerization at the plasma membrane abolishes the pitted cell wall formation and promotes the formation of banded cell walls in metaxylem vessels. This study unveils the importance of the proper control of actin polymerization on cell wall pattern specification.
