Sperm Environmental Epigenetics and Development Study (SEEDS)

ABSTRACT: Infertility is one of the most common reproductive health disorders affecting 16% of couples in the U.S. Most concerning are the new meta-analysis data showing that sperm counts among men in developed countries have declined over 50% in the past four decades. With no sign of reversing this downward trajectory, we may not only be facing a fertility crisis, but low sperm count also has wider public health implications, including increased risks in morbidity and mortality. Given this dramatic decrease in sperm quality over a short period, genetic influences are likely not attributable, but rather, environmental factors encountered over the life-course. The objective of this pilot project is to determine the feasibility of generating metabolomic data from human seminal plasma collected as part of the ongoing SEEDS cohort.

Genetic Dissection of Photosynthetic Organs Contribution to Seed Oil Accumulation in Arabidopsis seeds

Project description:We report the application of RNA-seq technology for highthroughput profiling of photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic seeds of Arabidopsis chlorophyll synthase mutant seeds. By generating over 21 GB of sequence data from these seeds, we showed that genes involved in oil accumulation in non-photosynthetic seeds were significantly induced compared to photosynthtic seeds. Additionally we found that genes involved in the plastidal oxidative pentos phosphate pathway were significantly upregulated in the non-photosynthetic seed opposite to photosynthetic seeds. Overall our RNA-seq analysis revealled the genes and pathway interaction underpinining oil accumulation in non-photosynthetic seeds.

Gene Expression Changes in the Development of the Soybean Seed-Early Maturation Stage

Project description:We investigated soybean seed development because (1) soybean seeds are a major source of food and fuel, (2) soybean seeds have been an excellent system for studying the basic processes controlling seed development for over three decades, and (3) new soybean genomic resources, including the sequence of the soybean genome and the gene expression profiles for all seed compartments, tissues, and cell types, can be used to gain new insights into the regulatory processes required for seed differentiation. We sequenced messenger RNA populations of specific soybean seed compartments, which will provide new insights into gene expression that are important for â??making a soybean seed.â?? Seventeen compartments of the Early Maturation stage of the soybean seeds were analyzed. Three to four biological replicates were collected for each compartment.

Correlative Controls of Seeds over Maternal Growth and Senescence in Arabidopsis

Project description:Correlative controls (influences of one organ over another organ) of seeds over maternal growth are one of the most obvious phenotypic expressions of the trade-off between growth and reproduction. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we characterize the physiological and molecular effects of correlative inhibition by seeds on Arabidopsis thaliana inflorescences, i.e. global proliferative arrest (GPA) during which all maternal growth ceases upon the production of a given number of seeds. We use laser-assisted microdissection and RNA-seq or Affymetrix GeneChip hybridizations to compare sterile growing, fertile growing and fertile arrested meristems or whole inflorescences. In shoot tissues, we detected the induction of stress- and senescence-related gene expression upon fruit production and GPA, and a drop in chlorophyll levels - suggestive of altered source-sink relationships between vegetative shoot and reproductive tissues. Levels of shoot reactive oxygen species, however, strongly decreased upon GPA - a phenomenon that is associated with bud dormancy in some perennials. Indeed, gene expression changes in arrested apical inflorescences after fruit removal resembled changes observed in axillary buds following release from apical dominance. This suggests that GPA represents a form of bud dormancy, and that dominance is gradually transferred from growing inflorescences to maturing seeds - allowing offspring control over maternal resources, simultaneously restricting offspring number. Examination of transcriptomes of four reproductive stages: i) sterile growing plants, ii) fertile growing plants, iii) fertile arrested plants, iv) arrested plants after removal of all fruits from the plant
