Project description:Wood is formed by the differentiation of cells from the vascular cambium and it is an important source for pulp, paper and bioenergy production. However there is little information about the vascular cambium at the molecular level, particularly in response to seasonality in tropical regions. We used three different molecular approaches: transcripts, proteome and metabolome to characterize the seasonal alterations in the primary metabolism of the eucalyptus cambial zone. Based on 2-DE analysis, 71 proteins were differentially expressed.

Project description:(paper abstract) Wood is a renewable resource that serves as a sustainable raw material for energy, fuels and materials. A basic understanding of the cambial meristem and the origin of wood cells is critical for forest tree molecular breeding to increase the availability of woody raw materials. Gene expression per cell type in the cambium of poplar (Populus trichocarpa x P. deltoïdes cultivar Boelare) was investigated using poplar microarray. Cells were hand microdissected from lyophilized sections of vascular cambial zone sampled in growing poplar. Two cell types were isolated, fusiform cambial cells (FCCs) and ray cambial cells (RCCs). Results showed about one thousand genes differentially expressed per cell type. Microarray expression results were validated by a second cell sampling used for reverse northern dot blot and RT-PCR analysis. RCCs revealed specific photosynthetic competences involving at least 35 genes of the photosystems. RCCs revealed also a marked difference for intercellular transport involving notably aquaporin genes. Distinct classes of cell-wall related genes were detected in RCCs and FCCs. A candidate xyloglucan endotransglycosylase showed to be upregulated and highly expressed in FCCs and an extensin family gene was also very highly expressed in these cells. A candidate polygalacturonase was strikingly expressed specifically in RCCs. A marked expression of cytoskeleton genes was also reported for FCCs where profilin family genes were very highly expressed. Related to cell signaling and regulation, one of the most intriguing result was the observation of LAX1 gene specificity in FCCs whereas PIN genes were expressed in both cell types.

Project description:The douple mutant Arabidopsis thaliana soc1 ful, in contrast with WT, produces an interfascicular cambium and a large wood cylinder is the flowering stem. We present the RNAseq data for polyA mRNA of different developmental stages of cambium and wood formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. We sequenced 7 stages; 4 in the woody mutant soc1-6 ful-7 (herbaceous, cambium initiation, wood initiation and leaf) and 3 stages in the WT Col-0 (herbaceous, cambium and leaf). The corresponding stem anatomy is also presented in the manuscript indicating the stage of cambium development and the production of secondary xylem.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding regulatory RNAs that play key roles in the process of plant development. To date, extensive studies of miRNAs have been performed in a few model plants, but few efforts have focused on small RNAs in conifers because of the lack of reference sequences for these enormous genomes. In this study, Solexa sequencing of three small RNA libraries obtained from dormant, reactivating, and active vascular cambium in Chinese fir samples identified 76 known miRNAs from 27 miRNA families and 18 new potential miRNAs, of which 15 novel miRNA precursors were validated by RT-PCR and sequencing. More than half of these novel miRNAs displayed stage-specific expression patterns in the vascular cambium. Furthermore, analyzing the 103 miRNAs and their predicted targets indicated that 30% of miRNAs appeared to negatively regulate their targets, of which 4 target genes involved in the regulation of cambial cell division were validated via RNA ligase-mediated rapid amplification of 5’ cDNA ends (RLM 5’-RACE). Interestingly, miRNA156 and miRNA172 may regulate the phase transition in vascular cambium from dormancy to active growth. These results provide new insights into the important regulatory functions of miRNAs in vascular cambium development and wood formation in conifers.

These results provide new insights into the important regulatory functions of miRNAs in vascular cambium development and wood formation in conifers. The aim of this study is to investigate the small RNA transcriptome in different stages of vascular cambium development in Cunninghamia lanceolata. We herein conducted our comprehensive analysis of a plant sRNAome during development of the vascular cambium in Chinese fir using cryosectioning to isolate cambial meristem, which allowed a higher cellular resolution for defining small RNA profiles and overcomed the limitations resulting from the mixed samples in many previous investigations. Total RNAs of dormant, reactivating, and active cambial meristem, respectively were isolated using the Concert Plant RNA Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and were then treated with RNase-free DNase I (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). Twenty micrograms of total RNAs were used and 16 to 30-nt sRNAs were purified using Novex 15% TBE-¬Urea gel (Invitrogen). Two adaptors were sequentially ligated to the 5' and 3' ends of purified sRNAs. The ligation products were further purified from Novex 10% TBE-Urea gel. Reverse transcriptase SuperScript II (Invitrogen) and high-fidelity DNA polymerase Phusion (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) were used in the following RT-PCR reaction. The amplification products were cut from Novex 6% TBE-Urea gel. The purified DNA fragments were used for sequencing on an Illumina 2G Genome Analyzer at the Beijing Genomics Institute, Shenzhen, China.

Project description:Tangential sections of 30 µm thickness were taken across the secondary phloem and developing secondary xylem, sections were then pooled to represent the tissues from specific developmental stages. Phloem (P) comprises 3 sections, the cambium (C) - 2 sections, the radial expansion zone (E) - 4 sections, the first to third xylem development zones (X1-X3) - 3 sections each, and the forth to sixth xylem development zones (X4-X6) - 6 sections each.

Project description:Currently little is known about the genetic mechanisms regulating the vascular cambium or the secondary growth of stems. We show here that the Populus Class I KNOX homeobox gene ARBORKNOX2 (ARK2) regulates both cell division in the cambium region and the differentiation of daughter cells in secondary xylem and phloem. ARK2 is expressed in the shoot apical meristem, and the vascular cambium region, reflecting some overlap in the regulation of these meristems. ARK2 is expressed broadly in the cambium region and in differentiating lignified cells types before becoming progressively restricted to the cambium. Populus overexpressing ARK2 present stem phenotypes with precocious cambium formation, delayed differentiation of cambium daughter cells, a wider cambium region, and ultimately less phloem fibers and secondary xylem. In contrast, Populus expressing RNAi or amicroRNA that target ARK2 transcripts present precocious differentiation of secondary phloem fibers and xylem, and ultimately more secondary xylem tissue and thicker secondary cell walls in phloem fibers and secondary xylem cells. These phenotypes in turn correlate with changes in the expression of genes affecting cell division, auxin, and cell wall synthesis and lignification that indicate that ARK2 primarily affects woody tissue development by regulation of cell differentiation. Notably, wood properties associated with secondary cell wall synthesis are negatively associated with ARK2 expression, including lignin and cellulose content. Together, our results suggest that ARK2 functions primarily by negatively regulating cell differentiation during secondary growth. We propose that ARK2 may identify a co-evolved regulatory module that influences complex wood properties relevant to ecological, industrial, and biofuels applications.
