Multi-dimensional leaf phenotypes reflect root system genotype in grafted grapevine over the growing season

ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND: Modern biological approaches generate volumes of multi-dimensional data, offering unprecedented opportunities to address biological questions previously beyond reach owing to small or subtle effects. A fundamental question in plant biology is the extent to which below-ground activity in the root system influences above-ground phenotypes expressed in the shoot system. Grafting, an ancient horticultural practice that fuses the root system of one individual (the rootstock) with the shoot system of a second, genetically distinct individual (the scion), is a powerful experimental system to understand below-ground effects on above-ground phenotypes. Previous studies on grafted grapevines have detected rootstock influence on scion phenotypes including physiology and berry chemistry. However, the extent of the rootstock's influence on leaves, the photosynthetic engines of the vine, and how those effects change over the course of a growing season, are still largely unknown.

RESULTS: Here, we investigate associations between rootstock genotype and shoot system phenotypes using 5 multi-dimensional leaf phenotyping modalities measured in a common grafted scion: ionomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, morphometrics, and physiology. Rootstock influence is ubiquitous but subtle across modalities, with the strongest signature of rootstock observed in the leaf ionome. Moreover, we find that the extent of rootstock influence on scion phenotypes and patterns of phenomic covariation are highly dynamic across the season.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings substantially expand previously identified patterns to demonstrate that rootstock influence on scion phenotypes is complex and dynamic and underscore that broad understanding necessitates volumes of multi-dimensional data previously unmet.

Project description:This model is from the article: The auxin signalling network translates dynamic input into robust patterning at the shoot apex.

Mol Syst Biol. 2011 Jul 5;7:508. 21734647 , Abstract: The plant hormone auxin is thought to provide positional information for patterning during development. It is still unclear, however, precisely how auxin is distributed across tissues and how the hormone is sensed in space and time. The control of gene expression in response to auxin involves a complex network of over 50 potentially interacting transcriptional activators and repressors, the auxin response factors (ARFs) and Aux/IAAs. Here, we perform a large-scale analysis of the Aux/IAA-ARF pathway in the shoot apex of Arabidopsis, where dynamic auxin-based patterning controls organogenesis. A comprehensive expression map and full interactome uncovered an unexpectedly simple distribution and structure of this pathway in the shoot apex. A mathematical model of the Aux/IAA-ARF network predicted a strong buffering capacity along with spatial differences in auxin sensitivity. We then tested and confirmed these predictions using a novel auxin signalling sensor that reports input into the signalling pathway, in conjunction with the published DR5 transcriptional output reporter. Our results provide evidence that the auxin signalling network is essential to create robust patterns at the shoot apex. Note: Figure 4 of the supplementary material of the reference article has been reproduced here. In this model, the fluctuations of auxin level is represented using sinux function. Time evolution of the variables AUX/IAA (I) and mRNA (R) are plotted, under the influence of fluctuations of auxin level. pi_A is varied between 0 and 2 by steps of 0.1.

Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an invaluable tool for profiling cells in complex tissues and dissecting activation states that lack well-defined surface protein expression. For immune cells, the transcriptomic profile captured by scRNA- seq cannot always identify cell states and subsets defined by conventional flow cytometry. Emerging technologies have enabled multimodal sequencing of single cells, such as paired sequencing of the transcriptome and surface proteome by CITE-seq, but integrating these high dimensional modalities for accurate cell type annotation remains a challenge in the field. Here, we describe a machine learning tool called MultiModal Classifier Hierarchy (MMoCHi) for the cell-type annotation of CITE-seq data. Our classifier involves several steps: 1) we use landmark registration to remove batch-related staining artifacts in CITE-Seq protein expression, 2) the user defines a hierarchy of classifications based on cell type similarity and ontology and provides markers (protein or gene expression) for the identification of ground truth populations within the dataset by threshold gating, 3) progressing through this user-defined hierarchy, we train a random forest classifier using all available modalities (surface proteome and transcriptome data), and 4) we use these forests to predict cell types across the entire dataset. Applying MMoCHi to CITE-seq data of immune cells isolated from eight distinct tissue sites of two human organ donors yields high-purity cell type annotations encompassing the broad array of immune cell states in the dataset. This includes T and B cell memory subsets, macrophages and monocytes, and natural killer cells, as well as rare populations of plasmacytoid dendritic cells, innate T cells, and innate lymphoid cell subsets. We validate the use of feature importances extracted from the classifier hierarchy to select robust genes for improved identification of T cell memory subsets by scRNA-seq. Together, MMoCHi provides a comprehensive system of tools for the batch-correction and cell- type annotation of CITE-seq data. Moreover, this tool provides flexibility in classification hierarchy design allowing for cell type annotations to reflect a researcher’s specific experimental design. This flexibility also renders MMoCHi readily extendable beyond immune cell annotation, and potentially adaptable to other sequencing modalities.
