Project description:Production of morphologically and physiologically variable seeds is an important strategy that helps plants to survive in unpredictable natural conditions. However, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and most agronomically essential crops yield visually homogenous seeds. Using automated phenotype analysis, we observed that in Arabidopsis small seeds tend to have higher primary and secondary dormancy levels when compared to large ones. Transcriptomic analysis revealed distinct gene expression profiles between large and small seeds. Large seeds had higher expression of translation-related genes implicated in germination competence. In contrast, small seeds showed elevated expression of many positive regulators of dormancy, including a key regulator of this process – the DOG1 gene. Differences in DOG1 expression were associated with differential production of its alternative cleavage and polyadenylation isoforms where in small seeds proximal poly(A) site is selected resulting in a short mRNA isoform. Furthermore, single-seed RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that large seeds resemble DOG1 knockout mutant seeds. Finally, on the single seed level, the expression of genes affected by seed size was correlated with the expression of genes positioning seeds on the path towards germination. Our results demonstrate an unexpected link between seed size and dormancy phenotypes in a species producing highly homogenous seed pools, suggesting that the correlation between seed morphology and physiology is more widespread than initially assumed.

Project description:Seed size is related to plant evolution and crop yield and is affected by genetic mutations, imprinting, and genome dosage. Imprinting is a widespread epigenetic phenomenon in mammals and flowering plants. ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE2 (EIN2) encodes a membrane protein that links the ethylene perception to transcriptional regulation. Interestingly, during seed development EIN2 is maternally-expressed in Arabidopsis and maize, but the role of EIN2 in seed development is unknown. Here we show that EIN2 is expressed specifically in the endosperm, and the maternal-specific EIN2 expression affects temporal regulation of endosperm cellularization. As a result, seed size increases in the genetic cross using the ein2 mutant as the maternal parent or in the ein2 mutant. The maternal-specific expression of EIN2 in the endosperm is controlled by DNA methylation but not by H3K27me3 or by ethylene and several ethylene pathway genes tested. RNA-seq analysis in the endosperm isolated by laser-capture microdissection show upregulation of many endosperm-expressed genes such as AGAMOUS-LIKEs (AGLs) in the ein2 mutant or when the maternal EIN2 allele is not expressed. EIN2 does not interact with DNA and may act through ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE3 (EIN3), a DNA binding protein present in sporophytic tissues, to activate target genes like AGLs, which in turn mediate temporal regulation of endosperm cellularization and seed size. These results provide mechanistic insights into endosperm and maternal-specific expression of EIN2 on endosperm cellularization and seed development, which could help improve seed production in plants and crops.

Project description:The widespread agricultural problem of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) could potentially be overcome by improving seed dormancy. Here, we report that miR156, an important grain yield regulator, also controls seed dormancy in rice. We found that mutations in one MIR156 subfamily enhance seed dormancy and suppress PHS with negligible effects on shoot architecture and grain size, whereas mutations in another MIR156 subfamily modify shoot architecture and increase grain size but have minimal effects on seed dormancy. Mechanistically, mir156 mutations enhance seed dormancy by suppressing the gibberellin (GA) pathway through de-represssion of the miR156 target gene Ideal Plant Architecture 1 (IPA1), which directly regulates multiple genes in the GA pathway. These results provide an effective method to suppress PHS without compromising productivity, and will facilitate breeding elite crop varieties with ideal plant architectures.

Project description:Genetic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that describes unequal expression of paternal and maternal alleles of a gene in sexually reproducing organisms including mammals and flowering plants. The function of imprinted genes was rarely reported. We report genome-wide analysis of gene expression, DNA methylation, and small RNAs in the rice endosperm and functional tests of five imprinted genes in seed development using CRISPR/Cas9 editing technology. We identified 162 maternally expressed genes(MEGs) and 95 paternally expressed genes (PEGs) in the rice endosperm, which were associated with miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements, imprinted differentially methylated loci, and some 21-22-siRNAs and lncRNAs. Remarkably, one-third of MEGs and nearly half of PEGs were associated with grain-yield quantitative trait loci and enriched in the endosperm-expressed genes. Disrupting two MEGs increased the amount of small starch granules and reduced grain size, weight, and embryo size, while mutating three PEGs reduced starch content and seed fertility. Our data support both MEGs and PEGs in rice are required for starch and nutrient accumulation, mediating offspring fitness and optimal seed size. This imprinting strategy provides potential means for improving grain yield of rice and other cereal crops.

Project description:affy_rice_2012_01 - ivt - One of the key questions for future agriculture will be to save agronomical relevant biodiversity. To do so, it is important to select the best crop cultivars that will germinate efficiently (good seed vigor) and for a long period of time (good seed longevity). Surprisingly, while mankind rely heavily on cereals, very few studies have identified genes positively related to cereal seed vigor and longevity. To close this scientific gap, we aimed to identify genes positively involved in rice seed vigor and longevity. We thus used a “controlled deterioration treatment (Tesnier et al., 2002) to mimic natural seed ageing. Seeds are first equilibrated at 25°C and 85% relative hygrometry during three days. Then, during 15 days, three different batch of seeds are either (i) kept at 25°C and 85% RH (control seeds), (ii) placed at 40°C and 85% RH (loss of seed vigor) or (iii) placed at 45°C and 85% RH (loss of germination capacity). Finally, seeds are equilibrated at 25°C and 32% RH during three days. Using this CDT treatment, we obtained rice seeds with contrasted seed vigor or germination capacity. We extracted the total RNA from the embryos and we analysed their transcriptome using the Affymetrix Rice Genome Array.-We applied a Controlled Deterioration Treatment (CDT) to seeds from the reference rice cultivar Nipponbare. First, all seeds are equilibrated at 25°C and 85% relative hygrometry. Then, depending on the treatment, seeds are placed at 25, 40 or 45°C in 85% relative hygrometry before being finally equilibrated at 25°C and 32% relative hygrometry. The germination of the three seed batches was measured during five days with one measure every 8h. Seeds placed at 25°C during the whole experiment were similar to control seeds kept in the fridge and germinated at nearly 100% in 48h. Seeds placed at 40°C during 15 days germinate at 74% but show altered seedling phenotypes (loss of seed vigor). Finally, seeds placed at 45°C do not germinate.
