Hypoxia triggers meiotic fate acquisition in maize

ABSTRACT: Evidence from confocal microscopic reconstruction of maize anther development in fertile, mac1 (excess germ cells) and msca1 (no germ cells) flowers indicates that the male germ line is multiclonal and uses the MAC1 protein to organize the somatic niche. Furthermore, we identified redox status as a determinant of germ cell fate, defining a mechanism distinct from the animal germ cell lineage. Decreasing oxygen or H2O2 increases germ cell numbers, stimulates superficial germ cell formation, and rescues germinal differentiation in msca1 flowers. Conversly, oxidizing environments inhibit germ cell specification and cause ectopic differentiation in deeper tissues. We propose that hypoxia, arising naturally within growing anther tissue, acts as a positional cue to set germ cell fate. key words: anther development, maize, male-sterile

In another experiment, laser microdissected pre-meiotic cells from wild type (mac1-heterozygous) anthers were compared to laser microdissected pre-meiotic cells from mac1 (mutant) anthers.

Transcriptome profiling of maize anthers using genetic ablation to analyze pre-meiotic and tapetal cell types

Project description:Agilent oligonucleotide arrays were used to profile gene expression in dissected maize anthers of 3 types of male-sterile plants and their fertile siblings at four stages of development: after anther initiation, at the rapid mitotic proliferation stage, pre-meiosis, and meiotic prophase I. The male-sterile mutants (ms23, msca, and mac1) lack a range of normal cell types resulting from a temporal progression of anther failure. By combining the data sets from the comparisons between individual sterile and fertile anthers, candidate genes predicted to play important roles during maize anther development were assigned to stages and to likely cell types.

Transcriptome analysis of multiple pre-meiotic anther stages and laser microdissected cell types in maize

Project description:Transcriptomes from multiple pre-meiotic stages of wild type, mac1, and msca1 maize anthers were characterized by microarray hybridization. The goal was to characterize the developmental progression as the anther specifies five cell types and grows rapidly precedeing meiotic entry. The stages characterized were immature anther primordia (0.15 mm long in maize) containing just stem cells, through somatic and germinal cell fate specification (0.20 and 0.25 mm), mitotic proliferation (0.4 mm), and finally the birth of the middle layer and tapetum (0.7 mm). To obtain cell-type specific markers, at 0.7 mm we also compared whole anthers to collections of laser-microdissected anther cell types including the archesporial cells (pre-meiotic germinal cells), nutritive layers (middle layer and tapetum) and structural layers (endothecium and epidemis) of the anther lobe. keyword: anther development, maize, male-sterile Three loop designs covered the early stages (up to 0.7 mm) with two replicates for each comparison. The first loop had 0.2 mm long anthers and compared wild type versus mac1 mutant versus msca1 mutant in a three vertex loop design. The second loop had four vertices and compared 0.15 mm WT anther primordia, 0.25 mm WT anthers, 0.4 mm WT anthers and finally 0.4 mm mac1 mutant anthers. The third had 0.7 mm anthers in a three vertex loop with the nutritive layers (middle layer and tapetum) at one vertex, the germinal pre-meiotic cells at another vertex, and whole anthers at a third vertex. The whole anther samples were also, separately and outside of the loop, compared in four replicates to the structural layers (endothecium and epidermis).

Spatiotemporal and cell-type dependent phasiRNA biogenesis in maize male reproduction (PARE)

Project description:Maize anthers, the male reproductive floral organs, express two classes of phased, small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs). RNA profiling from ten sequential cohorts of staged maize anthers plus mature pollen revealed that 21-nt phased siRNAs (21-phasiRNAs) from 463 loci appear abruptly after germinal and initial somatic cell fate specification and then diminish, while 24-nt phased siRNAs (24-phasiRNAs) from 176 loci coordinately accumulate during meiosis and persist as haploid gametophytes differentiate into pollen. RNA sequencing of anther developmental mutants, together with in situ RNA hybridization detection of phasiRNA biogenesis factors, demonstrated that 21-phasiRNAs and 24-phasiRNAs are independently regulated. Furthermore, 21-phasiRNAs require epidermal cells while 24-phasiRNAs require functional tapetal cells. Maize phasiRNAs and mammalian PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) illustrate convergent evolution of small RNAs to support male reproduction.
