Project description:Plastids contain multiple copies of the plastid chromosome, folded together with proteins and RNA into nucleoids. The degree to which components of the plastid gene expression and protein biogenesis machineries are nucleoid associated, and the factors involved in plastid DNA organization, repair, and replication, are poorly understood. To provide a conceptual framework for nucleoid function, we characterized the proteomes of highly enriched nucleoid fractions of proplastids and mature chloroplasts isolated from the maize (Zea mays) leaf base and tip, respectively, using mass spectrometry. Quantitative comparisons with proteomes of unfractionated proplastids and chloroplasts facilitated the determination of nucleoid-enriched proteins. This nucleoid-enriched proteome included proteins involved in DNA replication, organization, and repair as well as transcription, mRNA processing, splicing, and editing. Many proteins of unknown function, including pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR), tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR), DnaJ, and mitochondrial transcription factor (mTERF) domain proteins, were identified. Strikingly, 70S ribosome and ribosome assembly factors were strongly overrepresented in nucleoid fractions, but protein chaperones were not. Our analysis strongly suggests that mRNA processing, splicing, and editing, as well as ribosome assembly, take place in association with the nucleoid, suggesting that these processes occur cotranscriptionally. The plastid developmental state did not dramatically change the nucleoid-enriched proteome but did quantitatively shift the predominating function from RNA metabolism in undeveloped plastids to translation and homeostasis in chloroplasts. This study extends the known maize plastid proteome by hundreds of proteins, including more than 40 PPR and mTERF domain proteins, and provides a resource for targeted studies on plastid gene expression. Details of protein identification and annotation are provided in the Plant Proteome Database.

Project description:C4 grasses, such as maize (Zea mays), have high photosynthetic efficiency through combined biochemical and structural adaptations.C4 photosynthesis is established along the developmental axis of the leafblade, leading from an undifferentiated leaf base just above the ligule into highly specialized mesophyll cells (MCs) and bundle sheath cells (BSCs) at the tip. To resolve the kinetics of maize leaf development and C4 differentiation and to obtain a systems-level understanding of maize leaf formation, the accumulation profiles of proteomes of the leaf and the isolated BSCs with their vascular bundle along the developmental gradient were determined using large-scale mass spectrometry. This was complemented by extensive qualitative and quantitative microscopy analysis of structural features (e.g., Kranz anatomy, plasmodesmata, cell wall, and organelles). More than 4300 proteins were identified and functionally annotated. Developmental protein accumulation profiles and hierarchical cluster analysis then determined the kinetics of organelle biogenesis, formation of cellular structures, metabolism, and coexpression patterns. Two main expression clusters were observed, each divided in subclusters, suggesting that a limited number of developmental regulatory networks organize concerted protein accumulation along the leaf gradient. The coexpression with BSC and MC markers provided strong candidates for further analysis of C4 specialization, in particular transporters and biogenesis factors. Based on the integrated information, we describe five developmental transitions that provide a conceptual and practical template for further analysis. An online protein expression viewer is provided through the PlantProteomeDatabase.

Project description:Upon germination, pollen forms a tube that elongates dramatically through female tissues in order to reach and fertilize ovules. While essential for the life cycle of higher plants, the genetic basis underlying most of the process is not well understood. We used Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Arrays covering more than 80% of the Arabidopsis genome to compare transcriptomes of cell-sorted, hydrated pollen grains with those of flowers, leaves, seedlings and siliques (all samples with duplicates). This comparison revealed that pollen expresses a reduced set of genes with increased proportions of enriched and selectively-expressed transcripts. Relative gene ontology (GO) category representations in pollen and vegetative tissues revealed a functional skew of the pollen transcriptome towards signaling, vesicle transport and cytoskeleton, suggestive of a commitment towards germination and tube growth. Relative gene ontology (GO) category representations in pollen and vegetative tissues reveal a functional skew of the pollen transcriptome towards signaling, vesicle transport and cytoskeleton, suggestive of a commitment towards germination and tube growth. Relative gene ontology (GO) category representations in pollen and vegetative tissues reveal a functional skew of the pollen transcriptome towards signaling, vesicle transport and cytoskeleton, suggestive of a commitment towards germination and tube growth. Gene family and pathway analysis allowed formulation of novel hypotheses for the role of non-classical MADS-box genes, small RNA pathways and cell cycle components in pollen.

Project description:We used tomato pollen in order to identify pollen stage-specific small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) and their target mRNAs. We further deployed elevated temperatures to discern stress responsive sncRNAs. For this purpose high throughput sncRNA-sequencing was performed for three-replicated sncRNAs libraries derived from tomato tetrad, post-meiotic, and mature pollen under control and heat stress conditions.

Project description:Pollen tubes extend through pistil tissues and are guided to ovules where they release sperm for fertilization. Although pollen tubes can germinate and elongate in a synthetic medium, their trajectory is random and their growth rates are slower compared to growth in pistil tissues. Furthermore, interaction with the pistil renders pollen tubes competent to respond to guidance cues secreted by specialized cells within the ovule. The molecular basis for this potentiation of the pollen tube by the pistil remains uncharacterized. We used a surgical procedure to obtain large quantities of uncontaminated pollen tubes that grew through the pistil and defined their transcriptome by microarray analysis. We also characterized the transcriptome of in vitro-grown pollen tubes (for 0.5hours or 4hours) and dessicated mature pollen in Arabidopsis. Experiment Overall Design: Pollen and pollen tubes were collected as described in the protocols section for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix ATH1 Genechip microarrays.

Project description:As in animals, cell-cell communication plays pivotal role in male-female recognition during plant sexual reproduction. Prelaid peptides secreted from the female reproductive tissues guide pollen tubes towards ovules for fertilization. However, the elaborate mechanisms for this dialogue have remained elusive, particularly from the male perspective. We perform genome-wide quantitative liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry of a pistil-stimulated pollen tube secretome and identify 801 pollen tube-secreted proteins. Interestingly, in silico analysis reveals that the pollen tube-secretome is dominated by unconventional-type secreted proteins representing 57% of the total secretome. In support, we show that unconventional-type protein, translationally controlled tumor protein, is secreted to the apoplast. Remarkably, we discover that this protein could be secreted by infiltrating through the initial phases of the conventional secretory pathway and could reach the apoplast via exosomes as demonstrated by co-localization with Oleisin1 exosome marker. We demonstrate that Arabidopsis thaliana translationally controlled tumor protein-knockdown plants have pollen tubes that poorly navigate to the target ovule, and the knocked down allele is poorly transmitted through the male. We show that regulators of the endoplasmic reticulum-trans-golgi network protein secretory pathway control secretion of pollen tube-secreted cysteine-rich proteins, including pollen tube attractants, and are essential for pollen tube growth and guidance, as well as ovule-targeting competence. This work, the first pollen tube secretome study, identifies novel genome-wide pollen tube-secreted proteins with potential function in pollen tube-ovule guidance for sexual reproduction. Functional analysis highlights a potential mechanism for pollen tube unconventional protein secretion and reveals likely regulators of pollen tube protein secretion. The association of pollen tube-secreted proteins with marker proteins shown to be secreted via exosomes in other species suggest secretion via exosomes as a possible mechanism for cell-cell communication between the pollen tube and female reproductive cells.

Project description:Illumina sequencing was employed to examine the expression profiles of rice anther miRNAs from the a non-pollen male sterile line Wuxiang S (WXS), one of photo-thermo sensitive genical male sterile (PTGMS) line rice, during in the fertility transition stage. A total of 493 known miRNAs and 273 novel miRNAs were identified during rice anther development. Based on the number of sequencing reads, a total of 26 miRNAs were discovered to be significant difference expression between WXS(S, Sterility) and WXS(F, Fertility), and the results were partially validated by qRT-PCR. Among these, 11 miRNAs were decreased and 15 miRNAs were increased in WXS(S) compared with WXS(F). The expression patterns for targets of osa-miR156a-j, osa-miR3879, osa-miR159c/d/e, osa-miR171a/c/e/i, osa-miR398b, osa-miR164d, osa-miR528 and osa-miR408 were selectively examined, and the results showed that there was a negative correlation on the expression patterns between miRNAs and their targets. These targets have previously been reported to be related with pollen development and male sterility, suggesting that miRNAs might act as regulators of rice anthers. Furthermore, miRNA editing events were observed. The U-to-C and U-to-A editing phenomenon was validated by molecular cloning and sequencing. Examine small RNA profiles change of four tissues of the rice non-pollen male sterile line Wuxiang S under two different environments.

Project description:The expression analysis had two goals: (1) look at relative transcription within mature pollen grains (2) compare expression in the stigma during pollination with either compatible or in-compatible pollen. Two pairwise comparisons, (i) unpollinated stigma vs. stigma pollinated with compatible pollen, and (ii) unpollinated stigma vs stigma pollinated with incompatible pollen. The genotype where stigma samples were harvested from is F1-30, and this is also the pollen source during an incompatible pollination reaction. The compatible pollen source is the variety Foxtrot (heterogeneous populations).
