Project description:Crop reproductive success is significantly challenged by heatwaves, which are increasing in frequency globally. The main reason is reduced male fertility due to abnormal pollen development, but the mechanism behind the developmental deviation is not well understood. Here, long-term mild heat (LTMH) treatment, mimicking a heatwave, was applied to flowers or whole plants and followed up by cytological, transcriptomic and biochemical analyses. LTMH was shown to act directly on the flowers and not via a systemic effect on other plant tissue. The meiosis to early microspore stage was the most to LTMH and three to four days of LTMH exposure around this period was sufficient to significantly reduce pollen viability. Extensive cytological analysis showed that abnormalities in pollen development could first be observed after pollen mitosis I and tapetum development appeared unaffected. Transcriptomic and biochemical analyses suggested that pollen development suffers from tapetal ER stress, with a limited role for oxidative stress. These characteristics differentiate the response of developing anthers and pollen to LTMH from that to severe heat stress.

Project description:The male germline transcriptome changes dramatically during the mitosis-to-meiosis transition to activate late spermatogenesis genes and to transiently suppress genes commonly expressed in somatic lineages and spermatogenesis progenitor cells, termed somatic/progenitor genes. These changes reflect epigenetic regulation. Induction of late spermatogenesis genes during spermatogenesis is facilitated by poised chromatin established in the stem cell phases of spermatogonia, whereas silencing of somatic/progenitor genes during meiosis and postmeiosis is associated with formation of bivalent domains which also allows the recovery of the somatic/progenitor program after fertilization. Importantly, during spermatogenesis mechanisms of epigenetic regulation on sex chromosomes are different from autosomes: X-linked somatic/progenitor genes are suppressed by meiotic sex chromosome inactivation without deposition of H3K27me3. Our results suggest that bivalent H3K27me3 and H3K4me2/3 domains are not limited to developmental promoters (which maintain bivalent domains that are silent throughout the reproductive cycle), but also underlie reversible silencing of somatic/progenitor genes during the mitosis-to-meiosis transition in late spermatogenesis. 29 samples analyzed by ChIP-Seq

Project description:Purpose:The molecular mechanism of pollen abortion in interspecific hybrids of B.rapa and B.nigra was revealed by cytological and transcriptional analysis Methods:floral buds (contain two developmental progress,1.1-1.5 mm and 1.5-6.0 long floral buds) were collected, then Separated male organs were kept in liquid nitrogen immediately until use. Total RNA was extracted using the TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA). DNase (Promega, USA) was used to remove potential DNA contamination. For the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis Results:In this study, there were extensive variations in gene expression patterns of this hybrid, and down-regulated expression of key genes for pollen development, such as meiosis of pollen mother cells, DNA damage repair and pollen sperm cell differentiation, may lead to pollen abortion. Styrene-propyl synthesis and wax biosynthesis pathway were blocked, which affected pollen wall formation. Conclusions:The wide variation of genes showed that the expression of A and B genomes were affected differently. B genome tended to downregulate the expression of key genes during meiosis and mitosis, while A genome tended to downregulate the expression of genes related to stress and pollen wall formation. The results showed that the development of male gametophyte was seriously affected after synthesis.

Project description:Oocytes develop the competence for meiosis and early embryogenesis during their growth. Setdb1 is a histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase required for post-implantation development and has been implicated in the transcriptional silencing of genes and endogenous retroviral elements (ERVs). To address its role in oogenesis and pre-implantation development, we conditionally deleted Setdb1 in growing oocytes. Loss of Setdb1 expression greatly impaired meiosis. It delayed meiotic resumption, altered the dynamics of chromatin condensation, and impaired kinetochore-spindle interactions, bipolar spindle organization, and chromosome segregation in more mature oocytes. The observed phenotypes related to changes in abundance of specific transcripts in mutant oocytes. Setdb1 maternally deficient embryos arrested during pre-implantation development and showed comparable defects during cell cycle progression and in chromosome segregation. Finally, transcriptional profiling data indicate that Setdb1 down-regulates rather than silences expression of ERVK and ERVL-MaLR retrotransposons and associated chimearic transcripts during oogenesis. Our results identify Setdb1 as a novel meiotic and embryonic competence factor in meiosis and mitosis, safeguarding genome integrity at the onset of life.

We performed expression profiling on pools of 16 denuded GV-oocytes isolated per mouse. We used oocytes from 4 Setdb1 f/+; Zp3-cre mice and 2 Setdb1 f/- mice as controls and oocytes from 4 Setdb1 f/-; Zp3-cre mice as mutant.
