(Submitter supplied) In Arabidopsis seed development involves maternal small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that induce RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) through the NRPD1 pathway. To investigate their biological functions we characterized siRNAs in the endosperm and seed coat that were separated by laser capture microdissection (LCM) in reciprocal genetic crosses with an nrpd1 mutant. We also monitored the spatio-temporal activity of the NRPD1 pathway on seed development using AGO4:GFP::AGO4 (promoter:GFP::protein) reporter and promoter:GUS sensors of siRNA-mediated silencing. more...

(Submitter supplied) The parent-of-origin effect on seed size can result from imprinting or a combinational effect between cytoplasmic and nuclear genomes, but their relative contributions remain unknown. To discern these confounding effects, we generated cytoplasmic-nuclear substitution (CNS) lines using recurrent backcrossing in theArabidopsis thalianaecotypes Col-0 and C24. These CNS lines differ only in the nuclear genome (imprinting) or in the cytoplasm. more...

(Submitter supplied) Seed size is important to crop domestication and natural selection and is affected by the balance of maternal and paternal genomes in endosperm. Endosperm, like placenta in mammals, provides reserves to the developing embryo. Interploidy crosses disrupt the genome balance in endosperm and alter seed size. Specifically, paternal-excess crosses (2 × 4) delay endosperm cellularization (EC) and produce larger seeds, whereas maternal-excess crosses (4 × 2) promote precocious EC and produce smaller seeds. more...

(Submitter supplied) Seed development is sensitive to parental dosage, with excess maternal or paternal genomes creating reciprocal phenotypes. Paternal genomic excess results in extensive endosperm proliferation without cellularization and eventual seed abortion. We previously showed that loss of the RNA POL IV gene nrpd1 in tetraploid fathers represses seed abortion in paternal excess crosses. Here we show genetically that RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway activity in the paternal parent is sufficient to determine the viability of paternal excess seeds. more...

(Submitter supplied) Seed size is related to plant evolution and crop yield and is affected by genetic mutations, imprinting, and genome dosage. Imprinting is a widespread epigenetic phenomenon in mammals and flowering plants. ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE2 (EIN2) encodes a membrane protein that links the ethylene perception to transcriptional regulation. Interestingly, during seed development EIN2 is maternally-expressed in Arabidopsis and maize, but the role of EIN2 in seed development is unknown. more...

(Submitter supplied) Our aim was to identify which stand alone amplification protocol performed best in our lab when the starting amount of total RNA was limited to 50 ng (A typical amount of total RNA we obtained by laser capture microdissection of tissues from silique samples). Since the quality of extracted RNA is very often tissue dependent and will affect the amplification efficiency, we decided to use total RNA extracted from whole siliques; better representing tissues targeted by LCM. more...

(Submitter supplied) Laser capture microdissection (LCM) provides a useful method for isolating specific cells or tissues from biological samples. Here, we adapted microdissection protocols to allow high-resolution transcript analysis of different tissues from developing Arabidopsis seed. However, to obtain enough RNA for microarray analyses it was necessary to amplify the RNA. Microarray analyses, using endosperm derived RNA amplified by two-round IVT, reproducibly identified endosperm enriched marker genes. more...

(Submitter supplied) Parent-of-origin-specific (imprinted) gene expression is regulated in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm by cytosine demethylation of the maternal genome mediated by the DNA glycosylase DEMETER, but the extent of the methylation changes is not known.  Here we show that virtually the entire endosperm genome is demethylated, coupled with extensive local non-CG hypermethylation of siRNA-targeted sequences.  Mutation of DEMETER partially restores endosperm CG methylation to levels found in other tissues, indicating that CG demethylation is specific to maternal sequences.  Endosperm demethylation is accompanied by CHH hypermethylation of embryo transposable elements.  Our findings demonstrate extensive reconfiguration of the endosperm methylation landscape that likely reinforces transposon silencing in the embryo. more...

(Submitter supplied) Some flowering plant and vertebrate genes are expressed primarily or exclusively from either the maternal or paternal allele, a phenomenon called genomic imprinting. Flowering plant imprinted gene expression has been described primarily in endosperm, a terminal nutritive tissue consumed by the embryo during seed development or after germination. Imprinted expression in Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm is orchestrated by differences in cytosine DNA methylation between the paternal and maternal genomes, as well as by Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. more...

(Submitter supplied) We used a two-component transgene system to study the RNA-dependent DNA methylation (RdDM) and transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) in Arabidopsis. By profiling the small RNA population in  mutants defected in RdDM or RNA polymerase II-transcribed trigger for generating silencing siRNA, we investigated how repetitive loci such as tandem repeats were regulated transcriptionally through the action of RNA polymerase IV.

(Submitter supplied) In plants, RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription of inverted DNA repeats produces hairpin RNAs that are processed by several DICER-LIKE enzymes into siRNAs that are 21-24-nt in length. When targeted to transcriptional regulatory regions, the 24-nt size class can induce RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) and transcriptional gene silencing (TGS). In a forward genetic screen to identify mutants defective in RdDM of a target enhancer leading to TGS of a downstream GFP reporter gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, we recovered a structurally mutated silencer locus, named SΔ35S, in which the 35S promoter driving transcription of an inverted repeat of target enhancer sequences had been specifically deleted. more...

(Submitter supplied) MADS-box transcription factors (TFs) are ubiquitous in eukaryotic organisms and play major roles during plant development. Nevertheless, their function in seed development remains largely unknown.
