Project description:In multicellular systems changes to the patterning of gene expression drive modifications in cell function and trait evolution. One striking example is found in more than sixty plant lineages where compartmentation of photosynthesis between cell types allowed evolution of the efficient C4 pathway from the ancestral C3 state. The molecular events enabling this transition are unclear. We used single nuclei sequencing to generate a cell level expression atlas for C3 rice and C4 sorghum during photomorphogenesis. In both species a conserved cistrome was identified for each cell type and initiation of photosynthesis gene expression was conditioned by cell identity. Photosynthesis genes switching expression from mesophyll in rice to bundle sheath in sorghum acquire hallmarks of bundle sheath identity. The sorghum bundle sheath has also acquired gene networks associated with C3 guard cells. We conclude C4 photosynthesis is based on rewiring in cis that exapts cell identity networks of C3 plants.

Project description:PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION 5 (PGR5) plays a critical role in generating proton motive force across thylakoid membranes and supporting photoprotection under fluctuating light in C3 plants. It is proposed that this function is achieved by regulating cyclic electron flow around Photosystem I. During the evolutionary transition from C3 to C4 photosynthesis, PGR5 abundance in leaves has increased, coinciding with an enhancement in cyclic electron flow rate. To investigate the role of PGR5 in C4 photosynthesis and photoprotection, we generated Setaria viridis (a model C4 monocot) lines with null PGR5 alleles. We demonstrate that loss of PGR5 severely impairs the establishment of proton motive force, photosynthetic control, and energy-dependent non-photochemical quenching at high irradiances, leading to a loss of Photosystem I activity under light stress. Furthermore, plants lacking PGR5 exhibit drastically reduced growth and photosynthesis when grown under fluctuating daylight; however, they are less severely affected than C3 pgr5 mutants. This relative tolerance arises from the ability of S. viridis lacking PGR5 to maintain significant levels of photosynthetic control, in contrast to C3 mutants. Additionally, in the absence of PGR5 and qE, a slower-relaxing, zeaxanthin-dependent form of non-photochemical quenching supports survival under fluctuating light, albeit at the cost of reduced photochemical efficiency and assimilation. Our findings highlight the essential role of PGR5 in enabling efficient C4 photosynthesis under fluctuating light by regulating photosynthetic control and energy-dependent non-photochemical quenching. This study also uncovers the interplay between multiple photoprotective mechanisms safeguarding C4 photosynthesis under light stress.

Project description:C4 photosynthesis was evolved from ancestral C3 photosynthesis by recruited pre-existed genes to perform new functions. Enzymes and transporters required for C4 metabolic pathway has been well documented, however, transcriptional factors (TFs) that regulate those C4 metabolic genes is poorly understood, in particular, how the TF regulatory network of C4 metabolic genes was re-wired, and the involved metabolic functions of those TFs along the evolution of C4 photosynthesis remained unknown. Here, by using RNA-Seq data from growth condition that reported to have effect on C4 photosynthesis, we constructed the TF regulatory network for four evolutionarily closely related species in the genus Flaveria, which represent different stages of the evolution of C4 photosynthesis, namely, C3, type I C3-C4, type II C3-C4 and C4. Our results show that four TFs are conserved along the evolution whose function either relate to stress response or light response. TFs regulating C4 core genes in C3 species involved in functions belong to RNA regulation and nitrogen metabolism, and that in both intermediate species and C4 species involved in photosynthesis and light responsiveness. Moreover, the TF-network of C4 core metabolic genes has the highest network density in type I C3-C4 species and C4 species when consider the fragment of TF-regulatory network that up-regulated under low CO2, suggesting that TFs regulating C4 genes were recruited to photosynthesis at type I C3-C4 both in involved functions and network density. Our results provide a valuable resource for studying molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying C4 metabolic process.

Project description:Physiological and molecular evidences have shown earlier that low CO2 might have been a major driving force during the evolution of C4 photosynthesis, not only being a selection pressure but also as a signaling agent. However, a mechanistic linkage between low CO2 and C4 emergence is missing. In this study, using transcriptomics study in model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, we demonstrated that under long-term low CO2 treatments, the up-regulation of C4 related genes were linked to the up-regulation of genes involved in photorespiration, nitrogen assimilation and glycolysis. Plants under low CO2 also showed altered d13C. The carbonic anhydrase (CA), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), glutamine oxoglutarate aminotransferase (GS-GOGAT), which are required to reassimilate ammonia, were up-regulated under low CO2. Furthermore, under low CO2, genes involved in PEP regeneration from glycolysis were up-regulated while pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) was down-regulated, suggesting a route of PEP regeneration from glycolysis. All these results suggested that under long-term low CO2 treatment, the selection pressure to recapture the released ammonia from the increased photorespiration might have promoted the evolution of mechanisms for generation PEP from glycolysis and enhancement of enzymes catalyzing formation of oxaloacetate, one intermediate which can accept ammonia residue. These adjustments in metabolism provide a mechanistic linkage between low CO2 and evolution of C4 photosynthesis.
