Project description:Wild tobacco flowers wave rhythmically to facilitate specific pollinator interactions. This movement behavior is controlled by a regulatory network that involves the circadian clock- and auxin-signaling pathways. The plant hormone auxin, similarly to its function in tropic movements, acts as growth regulator in the circadian regulation of floral movement. Dorsoventral asymmetry in auxin levels and auxin transcriptional responses mediate the growth responses in the floral peduncle that make flowers move. Multiple components of the auxin-signaling pathway and auxin responses are under the control of circadian clock. However, it is unclear where these two pathways intersect and how collectively contribute to regulate specific rhythmic outputs. Here we found that the blue light photoreceptor and circadian clock component ZEITLUPE (ZTL) controls auxin responses through the regulation of the auxin-signaling pathway in a time-of-day and blue light specific manner. Abrogation of ZTL expression abolishes flower movement and the temporal gating of auxin-induced growth responses in the floral peduncle. ZTL regulates transcription and directly interacts with indole-3-acetic acid inducible 19 (IAA19), a circadian controlled gene that regulates development of curvature in moving organs. Indicating that ZTL modulates auxin sensitivity in part through the regulation of AUX/IAA transcriptional repressors. At night, growth responses in the peduncle to the synthetic auxin 2,4-D revealed that ZTL additionally controls auxin responses regulating auxin homeostasis. These results indicate that ZTL conveys temporal and environmental information, at multiple levels, into the auxin signaling-pathway and in this way sculpts the temporal gating of auxin responses that allow flowers to move. To gain further insight into the molecular basis of the movement of flowers we used a whole genome microarray as a discovery platform to identify genes differentially expressed in adaxial and abaxial sides of the floral peduncle at different stages of the movement.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the roles of Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) in flower gene expression. Flowers from arf6 arf8 plants undergo a developmental arrest at approximately stage 12, just prior to flower opening. Wild-type, ARF6/arf6 arf8/arf8, and arf6 arf8 plants were treated with 10 uM indole-3-acetic acid for thirty minutes to identify genes that respond rapidly to auxin in an ARF6/ARF8-dependent manner. Keywords: auxin response; comparison of wild type and arf6 arf8 mutants

Project description:Transgenic expression of viral proteins in natural host plants is a useful simplified system with the potential to understand the individual effect of each viral component. Transgenic expression of movement (MP) and a variant from coat protein (CPT42W) in tobacco, a TMV natural host, produces severe morphological changes, altered miRNAs accumulation and poor fertility. We used microarrays to characterize the gene expression changes caused by the co-expression of TMV capsid and movement proteins in Nicotiana tabacum comparing two isogenic lines MPxCPT42W and mpxcpT42W* (a line with both transgenes spontaneously silenced and with normal phenotype).

Project description:The phytohormone auxin triggers transcriptional reprograming utilizing a well-characterized nuclear perception machinery. In contrast, mechanisms underlying other auxin effects, such as auxin feed-back on its transport, rapid regulation of ion fluxes or ultrafast global phospho-response, remain enigmatic. Auxin Binding Protein 1 (ABP1) has been contested as an auxin receptor candidate since decades. Here we show that a fraction of Arabidopsis thaliana ABP1 is secreted and binds auxin specifically at the acidic pH typical for the apoplast. ABP1 and its plasma membrane-localized partner, Transmembrane Kinase 1 (TMK1) are required for auxin-induced phosphorylation of about thousand proteins. Loss-of-function abp1 alleles but not complemented lines show defects in in vitro shoot regeneration and formation of auxin-transporting channels for vasculature formation and regeneration. These results support a role of ABP1-TMK1 in cell surface auxin perception mediating global auxin phospho-response and regenerative development.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the contribution of ARF6 and ARF8 to flower gene expression. Flowers from arf6 arf8 plants undergo a developmental arrest at approximately stage 12, just prior to flower opening. Flowers from wild-type, ARF6/arf6 arf8/arf8, and arf6 arf8 plants were separated into stage 1-10 flowers, stage 11+12 flowers, and stage 13-14 flowers to define the developmental stages at which ARF6 and ARF8 are required for gene expression.

Project description:The debate on the origin and evolution of flowers has recently entered the field of developmental genetics, with focus on the design of the ancestral floral regulatory program. Flowers can differ dramatically among angiosperm lineages, but in general, sterile perianth organs surrounding stamens (male reproductive organs) and carpels (female reproductive organs) constitute the basic floral structure. However, the basal angiosperm lineages exhibit spectacular diversity in the number, arrangement, and structure, of floral organs, while the evolutionarily derived monocot and eudicot lineages share a far more uniform floral ground plan. As such, regulatory mechanisms underlying the archetypal floral plan, for instance that of the eudicot genetic model Arabidopsis thaliana, are unlikely to apply to the original flowers. Here we show that broadly overlapping transcriptional programs characterise the floral transcriptome of the basal angiosperm Persea americana (avocado), while floral gene expression domains are typically organ-specific in Arabidopsis. Our findings extend the “fading borders” model for basal angiosperms from organ identity genes to the downstream floral transcriptome, and suggest that the combinatorial mechanism for organ identity may not operate in basal angiosperms as it does in Arabidopsis. Furthermore, fading expression of components of the stamen transcriptome in central and peripheral regions of Persea flowers resembles the developmental program of the hypothesized gymnosperm “floral progenitor”. Accordingly, in contrast to the canalized organ-specific regulatory apparatus of Arabidopsis, floral development may have been originally regulated by overlapping transcriptional cascades with fading gradients of influence from focal to bordering organs.
