Project description:Short periods of heat (>37°C) are extremely damaging to non-acclimated plants and their capacity to acclimate to and recover from heat stress is a key parameter for their survival and longevity. To acclimate, the Heat Shock transcription Factor A1 (HSFA1) subfamily activates a transcriptional response that resolves the heat stress-induced protein damage. Importantly, HSFA1 activity is also critical for Arabidopsis to withstand sustained warmer periods of 28°C, a non-detrimental condition that triggers a thermomorphogenesis response. We find that SUMO, a protein modification whose adduct levels increase as a result of acute heat stress in eukaryotes, is also critical for plant longevity during warmer periods, in particular for shoot meristem development. The known E3 and E4 SUMO ligases (SIZ1, HPY1/MMS21, PIAL1/2) were not essential to endure these warmer periods, alone or in combination. Thermo-lethality was also not seen when plants lacked certain SUMO proteases (ESD4, OTS1/OTS2, SPF1/SPF2 combined) or when SUMO chain formation was blocked. Furthermore, SUMO thermo-resilience is not connected to the autoimmune phenotype found in the corresponding SUMO knockdown and a SIZ1 loss-of-function mutant. As acquired thermotolerance was normal in the SUMO knockdown mutant, we thus conclude that the role of SUMO in heat acclimation differs from that of HSFA1 and SIZ1. Combined, this study reveals that SUMO appears to be critical for shoot meristem integrity during warmer periods. This experiment we have examined how gene expression is affected in two SUMO mutants (siz1-2; sumo1 amiR-SUMO1 [aka. sumo1/2KD] ), and a HsfA1a,b,d triple mutant, when the plants are placed at 28C constant ambient temperature, which is a condition normally used to induce thermomorphogenesis. We used as control the pad1-4 background, as the siz1-2 and sumo1/2KD mutants normally suffer from constitutive defence signalling due hyperaccumulation of SA, which is suppressed by introgression of pad4 in these backgrounds.

Project description:DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that specifies the basic state of pluripotent stem cells and regulates the developmental transition from stem cells to various cell types. In flowering plants, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) contains a pluripotent stem cell population which generates the aerial part of plants including the germ cells. Under appropriate conditions, the SAM undergoes a developmental transition from a leaf-forming vegetative SAM to an inflorescence- and flower-forming reproductive SAM. While SAM characteristics are largely altered in this transition, the complete picture of DNA methylation remains elusive. Here, by analyzing whole-genome DNA methylation of isolated rice SAMs in the vegetative and reproductive stages, we found that methylation at CHH sites is kept high, particularly at transposable elements (TEs), in the vegetative SAM relative to the differentiated leaf, and increases in the reproductive SAM via the RNA-dependent DNA methylation pathway. We also found that half of the TEs that were highly methylated in gametes had already undergone CHH hypermethylation in the SAM. Our results indicate that changes in DNA methylation begin in the SAM long before germ cell differentiation to protect the genome from harmful TEs.

Project description:Knowledge about an organism’s cell and tissue-specific transcriptional repertoire is essential for understanding the gene regulatory circuits that control key developmental events. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is responsible for development of all the above ground parts of plants. Our understanding of SAM at the molecular level is far from complete. The present work investigates the global gene expression repertoire of SAMs in the garden pea (Pisum sativum). To this end, 10,346 EST sequences representing 7611 unique genes were generated from pea SAM cDNA libraries. These sequences, together with previously reported ESTs, were used to construct a 12K oligonucleotide array used to identify genes exhibiting differential SAM expression, as compared to the axillary meristem, root apical meristem, and non-meristematic tissues. We identified a number of genes that are predominantly expressed in specific cell layers or domains of the SAM, and thus are likely components of the gene networks involved in stem cell maintenance and initiation of lateral organ primordial cells. In situ hybridization confirmed the spatial localisation of some of these key genes within the SAM. Our data also indicate the diversification of some gene expression patterns and functions in legume crop plants.

Project description:Background: It has been observed in some plant-virus interaction under certain circumstances that the plants show a sign of healing from virus-infection, a phenomenon called symptom recovery. The nature of molecular processes behind symptom recovery has been an enigma in plant virology for a long time. Discovery of RNA silencing provided a possible mechanism to explain some aspects of recovery but not all. Results: We provide evidence that silencing is not the reason for recovery in CymRSV-infected Nicotiana benthamiana plants. Transcriptome analysis followed by in situ hybridization experiments shed light on the expressional changes in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) region upon virus infection. We observed a severe loss of meristem function in the SAM which was accompanied by the downregulation of meristem-specific genes. Among the upregulated genes we found an enrichment of salicylate-metabolism and signalling, and autophagy-related functions (among many others) suggesting that these genes might play a role in shoot necrosis and symptom recovery. Conclusion: Our data suggest that the loss of meristem function is a result of salicylate-induced programmed cell death.

Project description:In this study, the proteins SumoE1 and Fat10 or Fat10-AV mutant were crosslinked using the crosslinking reagent H12/D12 BS3 in order to determine specific interaction sites of Fat10 and SumoE1. Furthermore, quantitative chemical crosslinking coupled to mass spectrometry (q-XL-MS) was used to compare crosslink abundances of SumoE1 in presence of Sumo as well as Sumo and Fat10 versus crosslink abundances of SumoE1 in absence of Sumo and Fat10 in order to determine the influence of Sumo and Fat10 on the structural dynamics of SumoE1.
