Arabidopsis seeds translation regulation

ABSTRACT: This study explores translational regulation during germination by comparing two Arabidopsis thaliana accessions with contrasting dormancy phenotypes: Columbia (Col), which germinates readily, and Cape Verde Islands (Cvi), which exhibits deep dormancy. Using sucrose gradient centrifugation, we isolated monosomal and polysomal fractions from freshly harvested (FH), after-ripened (AR), and imbibed (IM) seeds. In this study, we have compared the mRNAs and associated proteins stored in monosomes or polysomes at the stages of seed maturity, post-ripening and early germination using two Arabidopsis genotypes differing in dormancy level

Project description:Seed dormancy is the inability for seeds to germinate even under favorable conditions. In the Arabidopsis Landsberg erecta (Ler) ecotype, 2 weeks of dry storage, called after-ripening, is sufficient to relieve seed dormancy. Such seed is referred to as after-ripened (AR) and has a high rate of germination when imbibed. While widespread transcriptome changes have been previously observed with seed dormancy loss, this experiment was designed to characterize transcriptional changes associated with the increased seed dormancy and dormancy loss of the gibberellin (GA) hormone-insensitive sleepy1-2 (sly1-2) mutant. The SLY1 gene encodes the F-box subunit of an SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase needed for GA-triggered proteolysis of DELLA repressors of seed germination. In the sly1-2 mutant, GA-directed DELLA proteolysis cannot occur leading to DELLA protein accumulation and increased dormancy. sly1-2 mutant seeds are fully dormant at 2 weeks of dry storage (0% germination), but germinate well with very long after-ripening (51% germination after 19 months). sly1-2 seed germination can also be rescued by overexpression of the GA receptor, GA-INSENSITIVE DWARF1b (GID1b-OE), which resulted in 74% germination at 2 weeks of dry storage. In this experiment, we compared seeds of wild-type Ler at 2 weeks of dry storage (non-dormant), dormant sly1-2 (2 weeks of dry storage; sly1-2(D)), long after-ripened sly1-2 (non-dormant, 19 months of dry storage; sly1-2(AR)), and sly1-2 GID1b-OE (non-dormant, 2 weeks of dry storage). Samples were collected at two imbibition timepoints: 1) a 0h timepoint after 4 days at 4°C, and 2) a 12h timepoint after 4 days at 4°C followed by 12 hours in the light at 22°C. These timepoints were selected to capture the transcriptomes at an early and late time in Phase II of imbibition. Using this experimental design we were able to determine transcriptome differences associated with seed dormancy in the sly1-2 mutation (Ler wt vs sly1-2(D)), and changes associated with sly1-2 dormancy loss through dry after-ripening (sly1-2(AR) vs sly1-2(D)) or through GID1b-overexpression (sly1-2 GID1b-OE vs sly1-2(D)). Seeds for Ler wt, sly1-2(D), and sly1-2 GID1b-OE were grown alongside each other under the same conditions and after-ripened for 2 weeks. Seeds from sly1-2(AR) were grown under the same conditions in advance of the other lines to allow for the long after-ripening requirement. RNA was extracted using a phenol-chloroform-based extraction from three biological replicates per treatment.

Project description:Plant embryos can survive years in a desiccated, quiescent state within seeds. In many species, seeds are dormant and unable to germinate at maturity. They acquire the capacity to germinate through a period of dry storage called after-ripening (AR), a biological process that occurs at 5-15% moisture when most metabolic processes cease. Because stored transcripts will be among the first proteins translated upon water uptake, they likely impact germination potential. Transcriptome changes associated with the increased seed dormancy of the GA-insensitive sly1-2 mutant, and with dormancy loss through sly1-2 after-ripening or constitutive overexpression of the GA receptor (GID1b) were characterized in dry seeds. This experiment used the same seed batches as a previous experiment (E-MTAB-4782) to characterize transcriptional changes associated with the increased seed dormancy and dormancy loss in imbibing seeds. The SLY1 gene encodes the F-box subunit of an SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase needed for GA-triggered proteolysis of DELLA repressors of seed germination. In the sly1-2 mutant, GA-directed DELLA proteolysis cannot occur leading to DELLA protein accumulation and increased dormancy. sly1-2 mutant seeds are fully dormant at 2 weeks of dry storage (0% germination), but germinate well with very long after-ripening (51% germination after 19 months). sly1-2 seed germination can also be rescued by overexpression of the GA receptor, GA-INSENSITIVE DWARF1b (GID1b-OE), which resulted in 74% germination at 2 weeks of dry storage. In this experiment, we sampled dry seeds of wild-type Ler at 2 weeks of dry storage (non-dormant), dormant sly1-2 (2 weeks of dry storage; sly1-2(D)), long after-ripened sly1-2 (non-dormant, 19 months of dry storage; sly1-2(AR)), and sly1-2 GID1b-OE (non-dormant, 2 weeks of dry storage). This experimental design allowed comparison between these transcriptomes in dry seeds to determine if dry seed stored mRNA differences contribute to the dormancy phenotypes observed once seeds are imbibed. Seeds for Ler wt, sly1-2(D), and sly1-2 GID1b-OE were grown alongside each other under the same conditions and after-ripened for 2 weeks. Seeds from sly1-2(AR) were grown under the same conditions in advance of the other lines to allow for the long after-ripening requirement. RNA was extracted using a phenol-chloroform-based extraction from three biological replicates per treatment.

Project description:Coal-fired power plant is a major method of electricity generation worldwide with serious concerns relating to air pollution. In recent years, fly ash from coal-fired power plants has become a major target of pollution control by worldwide regulatory agencies. In this present study, fly ash particulate matter (PM) obtained from the electrostatic precipitator of Mae Moh Coal-fired Power Plant (Lampang, Thailand) was selected as a model for determination of physicochemical characteristics and toxicological profiles in mice. The average size of the fly ash PM was 4.29 ± 1.85 µm as determined by electron microscopy. Major heavy metal was iron at 101,067.31 ± 8,246.12 mg/kg as detected by ICPMS. Acenaphthene was the most abundant polyaromatic hydrocarbon at 40.77 ± 0.003 mg/kg as analyzed by GCMS. The toxicological profiles of the characterized fly ash PM were conducted in Balb/c mice by intratracheal instillation at 1 and 10 mg/kg/day for 7 days, compared to vehicle as negative control and standard PM 2.5 as positive control. The fly ash PM and the standard PM induced significant pulmonary inflammation in mice lungs compared to vehicle control. In addition, molecular toxicology of mice lungs investigated by proteomics demonstrated 3 inflammation associated pathways, which include leukocyte transendothelial migration, phagosome, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation. Furthermore, only high dose (10 mg/kg/day) standard PM and high dose fly ash PM showed high expression of NCF2, which potentially promotes cancer in the long run. This study is the first to report on the physicochemical characterization, histopathology, and proteomic-associated toxicological profiles of the fly ash PM obtained from the largest coal-fired power plant in Thailand. Information obtained from this study is useful for academic researchers, electricity enterprises, and policymakers to develop appropriate strategies to manage air pollution from coal-fired power plants worldwide.
