Project description:The cambium is the meristem responsible for production of plant vascular tissues, the xylem and phloem, during plant radial growth. The tomato hws mutant exhibits miRNA accumulation and produces a markedly enlarged phloem, suggesting a role for miRNAs in regulating vascular development. This study aims to identify the accumulated miRNAs associated with the vascular phenotype in hws mutants Key miRNAs, including miR319 and miR164, were identified as highly accumulated in the mutant pedicels, with predicted targets linked to meristematic activity.

Project description:Sweet sorghum has emerged as a promising source of bioenergy mainly due to its high biomass and high soluble sugar yield in stems. Studies have shown that loss-of-function Dry locus alleles have been selected during sweet sorghum domestication, and decapitation can further boost sugar accumulation in sweet sorghum, indicating that the potential for improving sugar yields is yet to be fully realized. To maximize sugar accumulation, it is essential to gain a better understanding of the mechanism underlying the massive accumulation of soluble sugars in sweet sorghum stems in addition to the Dry locus. We performed a transcriptomic analysis upon decapitation of near-isogenic lines for mutant (d, juicy stems, and green leaf midrib) and functional (D, dry stems and white leaf midrib) alleles at the Dry locus. Our analysis revealed that decapitation suppressed photosynthesis in leaves, but accelerated starch metabolic processes in stems. SbbHLH093 negatively correlates with sugar levels supported by genotypes (DD vs. dd), treatments (control vs. decapitation), and developmental stage post anthesis (3d vs.10d). D locus gene SbNAC074A and other programmed cell death-related genes were downregulated by decapitation, while sugar transporter-encoding gene SbSWEET1A was induced. Both SbSWEET1A and Invertase 5 were detected in phloem companion cells by RNA in situ assay. Loss of the SbbHLH093 homolog, AtbHLH093, in Arabidopsis led to a sugar accumulation increase. This study provides new insights into sugar accumulation enhancement in bioenergy crops, which can be potentially achieved by reducing reproductive sink strength and enhancing phloem unloading.

Project description:Phloem is the primary conduit through which photosynthates, hormones, and other biologically important molecules are distributed from aerial plant organs downward and throughout the plant. Increasing evidence suggests that phloem contents are diverse and play a critical role in biotic and abiotic stress adaptation. Drought causes the greatest decreases in agricultural crop productivity among all biotic and abiotic stresses, and the link between water deficiency and phloem protein contents is relatively unexplored. Here we employed the EDTA-facilitated phloem exudate collection method from Solanum lycopersicum leaves during a period of drought stress and recovery. Our analysis resulted in the confident identification and quantification of 2,558 proteins. Comparing our data with previous findings confirms that our exudate collection strategy enriched for known phloem proteins. Independent of drought, enrichment analysis of the total phloem exudate protein profiles from all samples suggest that the exchange of proteins into the phloem is more complex than previously thought, including additional protein chaperone systems, branched-chain amino acid synthesis proteins, trehalose metabolism, and RNA silencing proteins. During the experiment we observed 169 proteins whose abundance changed significantly within the phloem sap, the majority of which were impacted specifically in response to drought. Among these were proteins involved in lipid metabolism, chaperone-mediated protein folding, carboxylic acid metabolism, abscisic acid signaling, cytokinin biosynthesis, and amino acid metabolism are significantly upregulated during drought. Conversely, proteins involved in lipid signaling, sphingolipid metabolism, cell wall organization, carbohydrate metabolism, and a mitogen-activated protein kinase are downregulated in response to drought. Many of these observations are consistent with previous literature findings at the whole plant level but have not been localized to the vasculature in tomato, suggesting phloem plays a critical role in adaptation to drought stress in tomato .

Project description:This sudy focuses on the identification of transcripts in the shoot phloem of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Transcripts expressed in the phloem tissue (parenchyma cell, companion cell, sieve element) were excised by laser microdissection pressure catapulting (LMPC). These were compared with transcripts isolated from leaf phloem exudates by EDTA-chelation technique. Optimization of sample harvest resulted in RNA of high quality from both sources. Modifications of the RNA amplification procedure obtained RNA of sufficient yield and quality for microarray experiments. Microarrays (Affymetrix, ATH1) hybridized with RNA derived from phloem tissue by LMPC or phloem sap allowed us to differentiate between phloem located and mobile transcript species. The datasets provide a search criterion for phloem-based signals and will facilitate reverse genetic studies and forward genetic screens for phloem and long distance RNA signaling mutants.

Experiment Overall Design: Arabidopsis plants were cultivated under short day conditions (8 h light) until flowering. Phloem tissue was isolated by Lasermicrodissection and Pressure Catapulting (LMPC) and phloem exudate by EDTA-chelation technique. In both experiments poly-A-RNA was extracted and amplified before hybridization of microarrays (Affymetrix, ATH1). For both experiments three LMPC-derived phloem tissue (LMPC-derived phloem_1-3) and three phloem exudate samples (Phloem exudate_1-3) were analysed. Precise protocols of plant growth, sample harvest, RNA extraction and amplification are provided in Deeken et al., 2008.

Project description:The vascular system of plants consists of xylem, phloem and procambium in a specific pattern. The phloem consists of sieve elements, the apparatus for bulk flow of photo-assimilates, and companion cells, which mediate transport of photo-assimilates between the sieve elements and surrounding cells and support the biological activities of the sieve element cells. The regulatory mechanisms of vascular development are being uncovered. Here we show that PHLOEM EARLY DOFs (PEARs) and related genes (collectively phloem-Dofs) not only regulate the number of procambium cell files, but also positively regulate phloem differentiation. Overexpression of phloem-Dofs induced cells that expressed either sieve element or companion cell marker genes, which are mutually exclusive. Conversely, disruption of phloem-Dofs caused loss of phloem. Phloem-Dofs induce CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED25 (CLE25) and CLE26 peptides, which in turn inhibit expression of phloem-Dofs and phloem formation, forming a negative feedback loop. Disruption of multiple genes for either phloem-expressed CLEs, BARELY ANY MERISTEM (BAM)-class receptors, or their coreceptors, CLAVATA3 INSENSITIVE RECEPTOR KINASEs (CIKs), caused excess formation of phloem cell files. We further show that phloem-Dofs are under positive self and mutual regulation. These positive and negative feedback loops create the proper phloem pattern.

Project description:Phloem is essential for higher plant development and survival by transporting photosynthetic products and systemic signals from source to sink organs. To date, most phloem studies were performed with the phloem exudate for physiological, transcriptomic or proteomic analyses. However, as yet, no transcriptomic profiling was performed to the phloem tissue itself, probably due to the technique difficulties to access the phloem tissue inside the plant body. In this study, laser microdissection combined with RNA-Seq technology was used to gain phloem-specific transcript profiling in three different organs (pedicle, stalk and fruit) of cucumber, a model plant species for phloem research. We found that transcription factors and biotic/abiotic stress related genes are highly enriched in the sink organs, while cell growth via calcium ion, hormone actions and cell cycle control was largely restricted in the pedicle and stalk, and genes implicated in transporting amino acids and sugars are mostly up-regulated in the pedicle. Further, we found excellent corroboration between phloem-specific gene expression, and physiological characterization with phloem function. In addition, we identified 432 cucumber-unique genes and several phloem-specific markers for future functional studies. This study provides new insights into the molecular genetics of the function of phloem tissue in cucumber, rather than the conventional phloem sap analyses.
