Project description:During the reproductive stage, tomatoes require nighttime temperatures below 21°C and daytime temperatures below 32°C for healthy flower development and fruit set. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above the optimal range can cause abnormalities in pollen development, leading to reduced fertility or sterility. This project aims to identify alterations in proteome expression and elucidate heat tolerance mechanisms affecting pollen development under elevated temperature conditions. Two tomato varieties—the heat-tolerant ‘Black Vernissage’ and the heat-sensitive ‘Micro-Tom’—were exposed to three temperature treatments: 26 °C (control), 32 °C, and 37 °C (heat-treated). Flower buds containing meiotic pollen mother cells prior to the tetrad stage and free microspores were harvested, and single cell type samples were collected using laser microdissection. Tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics was employed to identify differential proteomic responses in pollen mother cells and free microspores between stress-treated and non-treated plants.

Project description:The hybrid seed production was performed using the male sterility line, which is an important way of heterosis utilization in Chinese cabbage. A stably inherited male sterile mutant msm was obtained from a Chinese cabbage DH line ‘FT’ using the isolated microspore culture combined with 60Co γ-rays mutagenesis. Compared to the wild type ‘FT’, the msm exhibited completely degenerated stamens and no pollen phenotype, and other characters had no significant difference except for stamen. The genetic analysis indicated that the msm mutant phenotype was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. Cytological observation showed that the stamen abortion of msm began at the tetrad period, and tapetum cells were abnormally expanded and highly vacuolated, leading to microspore abortion. Comparative transcriptome analysis on the flower buds of ‘FT’ and msm using RNA-Seq technology revealed a total of 1,653 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Among which, a large number of genes associated with male sterility were found, including 64 pollen development and pollen tube growth-related genes, 94 pollen wall development-related genes, 11 phytohormone-related genes and 16 transcription factor-related genes, and the overwhelming majority of these genes were down-regulated in the msm vs. ‘FT’ comparison. Furthermore, KEGG pathway analysis indicated that a variety of carbohydrate metabolic and lipid metabolic pathways were significantly enriched, which may be related to pollen abortion. The expression patterns of 24 male sterility-related genes were analyzed using qRT-PCR. In addition, a total of 24,476 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 413,073 insertion-deletion events were specifically detected in msm. These results facilitate to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of male sterility in Chinese cabbage.

Project description:Pollen development is central for plant reproduction and is assisted by changes of the transcriptome and the proteome. At the same time, pollen is largely heat sensitive, particularly at early developmental stages. To define the changes during development and the response of different stages to elevated temperatures we investigated the transcriptome and proteome of pollen at tetrad, post-meiotic and mature stage before and after application of elevated temperatures. We used Solanum lycopersicum as an economically important crop. We demonstrate that the number of transcripts declines from tetrad to mature stage, while the protein content shows the opposite trend. Comparison of the transcriptome and proteome led to the discovery of two translational modes assigned as direct translation – transcripts increased in a specific pollen stage lead to increased translation in the same stage – and delayed translation – transcripts are produced for translation in later stages. The response to elevated temperatures is with ~5% of all genes being upregulated comparable to general plant behavior. The alteration at proteome level marked the mature pollen as least responsive and the post-meiotic stages as most responsive with altered levels of 40% of the identified proteins. For a subset of the genes with direct translation we observed a downregulation of protein levels after heat stress, whereas some of the genes with delayed translation showed a shift from delayed to direct translation when heat stress is applied. Further, Hsps, proteasome subunits, ribosomal proteins as well as eukaryotic initiation factors are the most drastically affected groups. On the example of Hsps we document that the response at transcriptome and proteome levels in e.g. the post-meiotic and mature stage does not correlate. Moreover, while all stages respond to heat stress with regulation of transcript abundance of Hsps in a comparable manner, changes at proteome level are distinct. Thus, we demonstrate that the difference in heat stress response in different stages of pollen development is rather manifested by significant changes of protein than transcript abundance. ------------------------------------------------------- Solanaceae Pollen Thermotolerance Initial Training Network (SPOT-ITN) Consortium

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:Heatwaves resulting from global warming are a leading threat to plants because they specifically impair reproductive (gametophytic) development. We investigated pollen development using proteomics after exposure to heat (38/28 °C; day/night). Sampling enabled the identification of the impact of heat on gene products in tetrads (immediately post-meiosis), uninucleate and binucleate microspores (early mitosis), and mature pollen. A library consisting of 5257 G. hirsutum proteins was constructed using SWATH-MS, which led to quantification of 4501 proteins at the four distinct stages. Data analysis revealed that 880, 360, 307 and 166 proteins were differentially expressed when the tetrad, uninucleate, binucleate and mature pollen stages, respectively, were subjected to heat. Surprisingly, most of these DEPs were identified only at a single developmental stage, indicating translation of stage-specific proteins in response to heat. Especially, high numbers of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in tetrads compared with the late developmental stages; these were mainly associated with protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, oxidative phosphorylation, spliceosome, cytoskeletal response, chaperones and folding catalysts, carbon metabolism and membrane trafficking. We conclude that protein synthesis in tetrad cells responded acutely to heat by supplying cellular components that enable subsequent mitosis and structural changes in the haploid germ cells leading the mature pollen. We hypothesise that fewer DEPs at the later stages might reflect a lower sensitivity to high temperatures. Identifying the stage-specific proteins will lead to the identity of key heat-responsive genes and new genetic tools for improved resilience of all seed and fruit-based crops as climates keep warming.

Project description:Meiotic drivers subvert Mendelian expectations by manipulating reproductive development to bias their own transmission. Chromosomal drive typically functions in asymmetric female meiosis, while gene drive is normally postmeiotic and typically found in males. Cryptic drive is thought to be pervasive and can be unleashed following hybridization with a naïve genome, resulting in sterility and hybrid incompatibility. Using single molecule and single pollen genome sequencing, we describe an instance of gene drive in hybrids between maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) and teosinte mexicana (Zea mays ssp. mexicana), that depends on RNA interference (RNAi) in the male germline. Multiple hairpin-derived small RNA from mexicana target a novel domestication gene, Teosinte Drive Responder, that is required for pollen fertility and has undergone selection for immunity to RNAi. Introgression of mexicana into early cultivated maize is thought to have been critical to its geographical dispersal throughout the Americas. A survey of maize landraces and sympatric populations of teosinte mexicana reveals allelic bias at genes required for RNAi on at least 4 chromosomes that are also subject to gene drive in pollen from synthetic hybrids. Teosinte Pollen Drive likely played a major role in maize domestication, and offers an explanation for the widespread abundance of hairpin-encoded and other endogenous small RNA in the germlines of plants and animals.
