In perennial Arabis alpina CONSTANS and FLOWERING LOCUS T have common and distinct effects on flowering and inflorescence architecture

ABSTRACT: Flowering of perennial Arabis alpina, is differentially regulated on primary and axillary shoots. Although contributions of vernalization and aging pathways have been analyzed, those of photoperiodic flowering genes CONSTANS (CO), FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), and TWIN-SISTER OF FT (TSF) remain unexplored. CRISPR-Cas9 mutations in AaCO and AaFT/TWIN SISTER OF FT-LIKE (TSFL) were recovered. Aaco and Aaft/tsfl mutants in pep1 background were scored for flowering time, inflorescence branching and floral phenotypes under long (LD) or short days (SD) and after vernalization. RNAseq data on primary and axillary branches were compared. AaCO activates AaFT/TSFL transcription in leaves, and Aaco and Aaft tsfl mutations delay flowering under LDs. Axillary branches flowered in Aaco mutants but not in Aaft tsfl mutants. Both lacked inflorescence branches and flowers on the primary shoot under LDs. However, Aaft tsfl mutants produced some flowers after vernalization, and Aaco a few in SDs. RNAseq identified genes responsive to AaFT, TSFL and AaCO on the primary shoot and in axillary branches. Therefore, AaCO-AaFT promote flowering of A. alpina under LDs, but with distinct roles in axillary branch flowering. Both genes are required for inflorescence branching and flower formation on the primary shoot. The complex role of the CO-FT module in inflorescence architecture may underlie the polycarpic, perennial life history of A. alpina.

RNAseq analysis of Arabis alpina buds in the dormant zone (V2) and buds in the growing zone (V3) at the end of vernalization (+0) and 5 days later (+5d)

Project description:Arabis alpina, similar to woody perennials, has a complex architecture with a zone of axillary vegetative branches and a zone of dormant buds that serve as perennating organs. We show that floral development during vernalization is the key for shaping the dormant bud zone by facilitating a synchronized and rapid growth after vernalization and thereby causing an increase in auxin transport, response and endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) levels in the stem. Floral development during vernalization is associated with the development of axillary buds in subapical nodes. Our transcriptome analysis indicated that these buds are not dormant during vernalization but only reach sustained growth after the return to warm temperatures. Floral and subapical vegetative branches grow after vernalization and inhibit the development of the buds below. Dormancy in these buds is regulated across the A. alpina life cycle by low temperatures and by apical dominance in a BRANCHED 1 dependent mechanism.

Beyond flowering time: diverse roles of an APETALA2‐like transcription factor in shoot architecture and perennial traits

Project description:Polycarpic perennials maintain vegetative growth after ﬂowering. PERPETUAL FLOWERING 1 (PEP1), the orthologue of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) inArabis alpina regulates ﬂowering and contributes to polycarpy in a vernalisation-dependent pathway. pep1 mutants do not require vernalisation to ﬂower and have reduced return to vegetative growth as all of their axillary branches become reproductive. To identify additional genes that regulate ﬂowering and contribute to perennial traits we performed an enhancer screen of pep1. Using mapping-by-sequencing, we cloned a mutant (enhancer of pep1-055, eop055), performed transcriptome analysis and physiologically characterised the role it plays on perennial traits in an introgression line carrying the eop055 mutation and a functional PEP1 wild-type allele. eop055 ﬂowers earlier than pep1 and carries a lesion in the A. alpina orthologue of the APETALA2 (AP2)-like gene, TARGET OF EAT2 (AaTOE2). AaTOE2 is a ﬂoral repressor and acts upstream of SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE 5 (AaSPL5). In the wild-type background, which requires cold treatment to ﬂower, AaTOE2 regulates the age-dependent response to vernalisation. In addition, AaTOE2 ensures the maintenance of vegetative growth by delaying axillary meristem initiation and repressing ﬂowering of axillary buds before and during cold exposure. We conclude that AaTOE2 is instrumental in ﬁne tuning different developmental traits in the perennial life cycle of A. alpina.

Global transcriptome analysis identifies genes regulated by FDP

Project description:Flowering of Arabidopsis is induced at the shoot meristem by environmental and endogenous signals. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein is a systemic signal that induces rapid flowering in response to long summer days (LDs) whereas gibberellin (GA) growth regulators trigger flowering by default in short days (SDs). Mutations in the bZIP transcription factor FDP, which physically interacts to FT, cause late flowering and dwarfism. In order to study the genetic pathways affected by FDP, we compared the global transcriptome changes of Col-0 plants carrying a fusion of the strong ubiquitously expressed CaMV35S promoter to an FDP DsRNAi construct (35S::FDP dsRNA).

Identification of flowering time genes associated with vernalization in Chinese cabbage and their differential expression in radish

Project description:We conducted genome-wide transcriptome analysis using the inbred Chinese cabbage line, ‘4004’, which displayed early flowering in response to vernalization. A total of 1,677 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) were identified with and without vernalization. Transcriptome analysis identified 223 homologs of Arabidopsis Ft genes in Chinese cabbage, and 50 of these genes responded to vernalization. RT-qPCR analysis of major Ft genes showed that the majority of flowering enhancers were up-regulated in response to vernalization, whereas most flowering repressors were down-regulated in response to vernalization. Among the major Ft genes, the expression of BrCOL1-2, BrFT1/2, BrSOC1/2/3, BrFLC1/2/3/5, and BrMAF was strongly affected by vernalization.

Abscisic acid and GIGANTEA signalling converge to regulate the recruitment of CONSTANS to the FT promoter and activate floral transition

Project description:Plants align flowering with optimal seasonal conditions to increase reproductive success. This process depends on modulating signalling pathways that respond to diverse environmental and hormonal inputs, thereby regulating the transition to flowering at the shoot apical meristem. In Arabidopsis, long-day photoperiods (LDs) stimulate the transcription of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), encoding the main florigenic signal. FT activation is mediated by the transcriptional regulator CONSTANS (CO), which binds to the CO responsive elements (COREs) located in the proximal FT promoter region. The phytohormone abscisic acid also (ABA) contributes to FT activation together with GIGANTEA (GI) to regulate drought escape (DE). Whether CO is a target of ABA and GI actions for the regulation of FT is, however, unknown. Here we report that ABA and its signalling components promote CO recruitment to the COREs, without causing clear effects on the diel pattern of CO protein accumulation. We also found that GI promotes CO recruitment to the COREs region, and that CO recruitment is required for the accumulation of RNAPol II at the TRANSCRIPTION START SITE of FT. Finally, we show that GI and ABA signalling pathways are largely epistatic in the control of flowering time, suggesting their involvement in the same molecular process. Taken together, these observations suggest that varying water deficit conditions modulate CO recruitment and FT expression, thus dictating DE strategies in Arabidopsis.

Cytokinin-promoted secondary growth and nutrient storage in the perennial stem zone of Arabis alpina

Project description:Perennial plants maintain their life span through several growth seasons. Arabis alpina serves as model Brassicaceae species to study perennial traits. A. alpina lateral stems have a proximal vegetative zone with a dormant bud zone, and a distal senescing seed-producing inflorescence zone. We addressed the questions of how this zonation is distinguished at the anatomical level, whether it is related to nutrient storage, and which signals affect the zonation. We found that the vegetative zone ehxibits secondary growth, which we termed the perennial growth zone (PZ). High-molecular weight carbon compounds accumulate there in cambium and cambium derivatives. Neither vernalization nor flowering were requirements for secondary growth and sequestration of storage compounds. The inflorescence zone with only primary growth, termed annual growth zone (AZ), or roots exhibited different storage characteristics. Following cytokinin application, cambium activity was enhanced and secondary phloem parenchyma was formed in the PZ and also in the AZ. In transcriptome analysis cytokinin-related genes represented enriched gene ontology terms and were expressed at higher level in PZ than AZ. Thus, A. alpina uses primarily the vegetative PZ for nutrient storage, coupled to cytokinin-promoted secondary growth. This finding lays a foundation for future studies addressing signals for perennial growth.

Identifications of vernalization regulatory elements by epigenomic approaches in winter wheat (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Epigenetic modification plays a key role in the vernalization process and maintains gene expression states after low temperature. In this study, the Chinese main cultivar Aikang58 was used to construct the chromatin accessibility maps, expression profile and histone modification (including H3K27me3, H3K27ac, H3K36me3 and H3K4me3) maps of winter wheat before and after vernalization. We provided a crucial data resource for deep understanding of epigenome in vernalization. What’s more, important core regulatory elements and corresponding transcription factors were discovered, and the complex regulatory network of wheat vernalization was analyzed.

HB21 induction in Arabidopsis inflorescence apexes

Project description:HB21 is a homeodomain leucine zipper transcription factor involved in the establishment of bud axillary dormancy. In this work we have characterized the role of HB21 in the control of the inflorescence arrest at the end of flowering. HB21, together with HB40 and HB53, are upregulated in the inflorescence apex at the end of the flowering phase promoting the floral bud arrest associated with the process. We also show that ABA accumulation occurs in the inflorescence apex at the end of flowering in physiological conditions, and that this accumulation depends on HB genes. Our work has allowed us to propose a physiological role of ABA in the control of floral bud arrest at the end of flowering
