    MFT is an important regulator of seed dormancy in flowering plants. A natural mutation in the A-box motif in the promoter of wheat (Triticum aestivum) MFT2 on chromosome 3A (TaMFT2-3A) has been used to prevent pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in wheat cultivars in East Asia. Previous research using in situ hybridization showed that TaMFT2-3A is primarily expressed in the seed scutellum. In this study, we analyzed the localization of transcripts and encoded proteins for the TaMFT2 homologs from barley (Hordeum vulgare) and rice (Oryza sativa), HvMFT2 and OsMFT2, respectively. RNA in situ hybridization showed that, like the wheat genes, the rice and barley homologs are primarily expressed in the scutellum, indicating that these three MFT2 genes have a common expression pattern during seed development. Analysis of the cis-acting regulatory elements of their promoter sequences showed that the three MFT2 promoters share eight seed-specific cis-acting RY motifs, which are binding sites for B3-domain transcription factors of the AFL-B3 and VIVIPAROUS1/ABI3-LIKE (VAL) families. In addition, we detected tandemly repeated and partially overlapping A-box motifs in the promoters of HvMFT2, TaMFT2-3B, and TaMFT2-3D, possibly explaining why the natural allele of TaMFT2-3A has been employed in breeding. We generated transgenic rice plants expressing nuclear-localized green fluorescent protein (NLS-2xGFP) and OsMFT2-GFP under the control of a 3-kb fragment of the OsMFT2 promoter. Immunohistochemical staining using anti-GFP antibodies mainly detected GFP in the scutellum and scutellar epithelium, which is an important tissue for initiating germination upon seed hydration. We confirmed these results by confocal microscopy of GFP fluorescence in seeds. Our results suggest that MFT2 expression in rice, barley, and wheat might be regulated by a similar network of transcription factors through multi-RY motifs in the MFT2 promoters, with possible roles in scutellar epithelium development.

    Abscisic acid (ABA) response element (ABRE)-binding factors (ABFs) are basic region/leucine zipper motif (bZIP) transcription factors that regulate the expression of ABA-induced genes containing ABRE in their promoters. The amino acid sequence of the wheat bZIP protein, TaABI5, showed high homology to that of Arabidopsis ABA insensitive 5 (ABI5). TaABI5 was classified into the clade of ABI5s in Arabidopsis and rice, unlike TRAB1 of rice, Wabi5 of wheat, and HvABI5 of barley in the bZIP Group A family, by a phylogenetic analysis. TaABI5 was strongly expressed in seeds during the late ripening and maturing stages; however, its expression level markedly decreased after germination. An in situ hybridization analysis showed that TaABI5 mRNA accumulated in seed embryos, particularly the scutellum. In a transient assay using wheat aleurone cells, TaABI5 activated the promoter of Em containing ABRE, which is an embryogenesis abundant protein gene, indicating that TaABI5 acts as a transcription factor in wheat seeds. Furthermore, the seeds of transgenic Arabidopsis lines introduced with 35S:TaABI5 exhibited high sensitivity to ABA and the inhibition of germination. The seed dormancy of the transgenic Arabidopsis lines was stronger than that of Col. These results support TaABI5 playing an important role in mature seeds, particularly before seed germination, and acting as a functional ortholog to Arabidopsis ABI5.

    Tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs) are involved in the transport and storage of water, and control intracellular osmotic pressure by transporting material related to the water potential of cells. In the present study, we focused on HvTIP3;1 during the periods of seed development and desiccation in barley. HvTIP3;1 was specifically expressed in seeds. An immunochemical analysis showed that HvTIP3;1 strongly accumulated in the aleurone layers and outer layers of barley seeds. The water transport activities of HvTIP3;1 and HvTIP1;2, which also accumulated in seeds, were measured in the heterologous expression system of Xenopus oocytes. When they were expressed individually, HvTIP1;2 transported water, whereas HvTIP3;1 did not. However, HvTIP3;1 exhibited water transport activity when co-expressed with HvTIP1;2 in oocytes, and this activity was higher than when HvTIP1;2 was expressed alone. This is the first report to demonstrate that the water permeability of a TIP aquaporin was activated when co-expressed with another TIP. The split-yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) system in onion cells revealed that HvTIP3;1 interacted with HvTIP1;2 to form a heterotetramer in plants. These results suggest that HvTIP3;1 functions as an active water channel to regulate water movement through tissues during the periods of seed development and desiccation.

    Water homeostasis is crucial to the growth and survival of plants. Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) have been shown to be primary channels mediating water uptake in plant cells. We characterized a novel PIP2 gene, HvPIP2
    8 in barley (Hordeum vulgare). HvPIP2
    8 shared 72-76% identity with other HvPIP2s and 74% identity with rice OsPIP2
    8. The gene was expressed in all organs including the shoots, roots and pistil at a similar level. When HvPIP2
    8 was transiently expressed in onion epidermal cells, it was localized to the plasma membrane. HvPIP2
    8 showed transport activity for water in Xenopus oocytes, however its interaction with HvPIP1
    2 was not observed. These results suggest that HvPIP2
    8 plays a role in water homeostasis although further functional analysis is required in future. © 2012 Landes Bioscience.

    Seed dormancy is an adaptive mechanism and an important agronomic trait. Temperature during seed development strongly affects seed dormancy in wheat (Triticum aestivum) with lower temperatures producing higher levels of seed dormancy. To identify genes important for seed dormancy, we used a wheat microarray to analyze gene expression in embryos from mature seeds grown at lower and higher temperatures. We found that a wheat homolog of MOTHER OF FT AND TFL1 (MFT) was upregulated after physiological maturity in dormant seeds grown at the lower temperature. In situ hybridization analysis indicated that MFT was exclusively expressed in the scutellum and coleorhiza. Mapping analysis showed that MFT on chromosome 3A (MFT-3A) colocalized with the seed dormancy quantitative trait locus (QTL) QPhs. ocs-3A.1. MFT-3A expression levels in a dormant cultivar used for the detection of the QTL were higher after physiological maturity; this increased expression correlated with a single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter region. In a complementation analysis, high levels of MFT expression were correlated with a low germination index in T1 seeds. Furthermore, precocious germination of isolated immature embryos was suppressed by transient introduction of MFT driven by the maize (Zea mays) ubiquitin promoter. Taken together, these results suggest that MFT plays an important role in the regulation of germination in wheat.

    Viviparous 1 (Vp1) of maize is known to encode a transcription factor VP1 that controls seed germination. Hexaploid wheat possesses three Vp1 homoeologues (TaVp1): TaVp-A1, TaVp-B1 and TaVp-D1. In this study, we attempted to characterize the molecular properties of TaVp1 in a highly dormant wheat cultivar, Minamino-komugi (Minamino). The seeds of Minamino showed much higher sensitivity to the inhibitory effect of ABA on germination than those of non-dormant cultivars, Sanin-1 and Tozan-18. The sequence analyses of cDNAs also revealed that some of TaVp-A1 transcripts and TaVp-D1 transcripts were spliced incorrectly, presumably resulting in production of truncated or deleted proteins. Most TaVp-B1 transcripts were spliced correctly, but some had an additional 3-bp (AAG) insertion in the B3 domain, which may not affect their function. RT-PCR analyses showed that TaVp1 was highly expressed in Minamino embryos in maturing seeds but much less in roots and leaves of seedlings. The level of TaVp1 mRNA was high when the embryos were treated with ABA but markedly decreased in water-imbibed mature embryos whose dormancy had been broken. Expression analyses of the individual homoeologues showed that the level of TaVp-A1 transcripts was highest in embryos of DAP 20 but much lower in the matured embryos. TaVp-B1 was highly expressed in developing and maturing seed embryos, while TaVp-D1 mRNA existed at lower levels in developing embryos but increased as the seeds were matured. These results suggest that the majority of TaVp1, especially TaVp-B1, are properly spliced and may function as a transcription factor playing an important role on dormancy in Minamino. By employing an efficient transient expression system using diploid wheat seeds, we confirmed the dual function of TaVP-B1: the activation of Em expression and the repression of alpha-amylase expression.

    Genes that regulate anthocyanin pigmentation in wheat coleoptiles were investigated in three lines of wheat. When grown in the light, the wheat line Hope developed red coleoptiles, while another line, Chinese Spring (CS), expressed green coleoptiles. Another line CS(Hope7A), a chromosome substitution line that carries chromosome 7A of Hope in a CS background, also developed a red coleoptile. In the dark, none of the three lines developed colored coleoptiles. Anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway genes have been grouped into two subsets: early biosynthesis genes (EBGs), which include CHS, CHI and F3H, and late biosynthesis genes (LBGs), which include DFR, ANS and UFGT. None of these six genes was upregulated in coleoptiles grown in the dark, whereas all were activated by light in coleoptiles of Hope and CS(Hope7A). In coleoptiles of CS grown in the light, the EBGs were expressed, but the three LBGs were not. The Rc gene located on chromosome 7 appears to encode a transcription activator of LBGs involved in light-regulation of anthocyanin synthesis. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    To establish a transient gene expression system for investigating the molecular function of genes in mature wheat seeds, we bombarded embryos or aleurones of three hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties Chinese Spring, RL4137 and OS21-5, two diploid wheat (T. monococcum L.) varieties KT3-1 and KT3-5 and a barley (Hordeum vulgare, L.) variety Himalaya with fusion constructs containing the GUS reporter gene driven by the Actin1 promoter or α-amylase promoter using a particle gun, and compared the efficiency of gene expression for the transient assay. The efficiency of transient expression was high in aleurone tissues of OS21-5, KT3-1, KT3-5 and Himalaya. In the aleurone tissues of KT3-5, the a-amylase promoter was especially markedly activated by gibberellic acid (GA) and by a GA-inducible MYB transcription activator of T. monococcum, TmGAMYB. This assay system using the aleurone tissues of KT3-5 may be especially useful for investigating which genes are expressed and how they are regulated in germinating wheat seeds.

    Maize transcription factors for the genes of anthocyanin synthesis pathway, C1/B-peru, were delivered into developing wheat coleoptiles by a particle bombardment method. Anthocyanin pigments were induced as discrete red spots and their number reached about 60 spots per coleoptile, compared to about 20 diffused blue GUS spots, which were induced by the GusA gene transferred concomitantly. Coleoptiles of seedlings collected 36 h after germination were most suitable tissue for the expression of delivered foreign genes. One to five mug of plasmid DNA for coating gold particles was sufficient for induction of anthocyanin and GUS, indicating that the transferred gene was expressed efficiently in coleoptile cells. Helium gas pressure (900, 1100, 1300 or 1500 pounds per square inch) and distances (10, 15, or 20 cm) between the stopping screen and coleoptile did not affect significantly the efficiency of gene transfer. Seedlings arranged in a circle with a 1-cm radius on a MS medium plate were targeted well by gold particles. The results showed that the wheat coleoptile was a good target tissue for transient assay of wheat genes and that C1/B-peru can be used as a reporter gene.

    Structural features of the wheat plastome were clarified by comparison of the complete sequence of wheat chloroplast DNA with those of rice and maize chloroplast genomes. The wheat plastome consists or a 134,545-bp circular molecule with 20,703-bp inverted repeats and the same gene content as the rice and maize plastomes. However, some structural divergence was found even in the coding regions of genes. These alterations are due to illegitimate recombination between two short direct repeats and/or replication slippage. Overall comparison of chloroplast DNAs among the three cereals indicated the presence of some hot-spot regions for length mutations. Whereas the region with clustered tRNA genes and that downstream of rbcL showed divergence in a species-specific manner, the deletion patterns of ORFs in the inverted-repeat regions and the borders between the inverted repeats and the small single-copy region support the notion that wheat and rice are related more closely to cacti other than to maize.

    A cDNA clone, 4B-1, previously isolated by differential screening is preferentially expressed in floral organs of Arabidopsis thaliana. Characterization of the full length cDNA and the genetic locus corresponding to 4B-1 cDNA revealed that it potentially encodes a myrosinase binding protein (MBP) which is presumably present in a large myrosinase complex. The deduced amino acid sequence of the polypeptide encoded by cDNA clone (designated f-AtMBP) appeared to consist of two parts: one region at the C-terminal half representing overall homology with AtMBP, an MBP homologue in A. thaliana, and the other at an extended N-terminal region of about 150 amino acids showing significant identity with the N-terminal region of the MBP-related protein reported in Brassica. Expression analysis by RNA blot and in situ hybridization showed that f-AtMBP was specifically expressed in floral meristems, pistils, stamens, petals, and ovules of immature flowers, but no expression was observed in the specialized cells called the myrosin cells in the hypocotyl and cotyledons of developing seeds where myrosinase enzymes are normally found. Although MBPs and MBP-related proteins are considered to be inducible by exogenous application of signal molecules and physical wounding, we found that f-AtMBP expression was not activated by such treatment, suggesting that f-AtMBP is a novel type of MBP specific to floral organs.

    We have previously identified two cDNAs encoding vegetative storage proteins (VSPs) in Arabidopsis thaliana. Unlike soybean in which VSPs accumulate at high levels in leaves, A. thaliana VSP mRNAs are abundant in flowers. To understand tissue-specific expression and possible roles of VSPs on reproductive organ development, genes corresponding to VSPs (Vsp1 and Vsp2) and their putative promoters were characterized in this study. Genomic sequence analysis revealed that Vsp1 and Vsp2 resemble each other except in their introns, and that these two genes were organized in a tandem array with an interval of 6 kb in a region. The expression patterns of Vsp1 and Vsp2 were examined using transgenic A. thaliana plants carrying a promoter from Vsp1 or Vsp2 fused to a bacterial B-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene. The promoter from Vsp1 expressed its effect in gynoecia, especially in styles, the basal and distal ends of ovaries and in siliques, whereas the promoter from Vsp2 showed its activity in vegetative shoots, petioles, peduncles and receptacles of floral organs. These results suggest that expression of Vsp1 and Vsp2 may be developmentally regulated in A. thaliana. In the transgenic plants, the GUS activity was induced by wounding in an area around the mid-rib of leaves. Therefore, Vsp1 and Vsp2 promoters appear to have elements required for both tissue specificity and wounding.

    Seventeen cDNA clones of genes corresponding to mRNAs expressed preferentially in floral organs of Arabidopsis thaliana were obtained by differential screening of a flower bud cDNA library, and classified into five groups (1A, 17A, 1B, 4B and 5B) by cross-hybridization and restriction analysis. Sequence analysis revealed that the 1A-1 and 17A-1 clones encode vegetative storage proteins (VSPs). The VSP mRNAs were detected in a small amount in leaves and increased to a limited level by wounding. Both 1B-1 and 5B-1 clones were homologous to transmembrane protein cDNAs. The protein encoded by 4B-1 clone contained a proline-rich region, but no homologous proteins were found in databases.

    Various combinations of temperature and time for soaking seed were tested to establish a system for transient assay of transcriptional factors controlling anthocyanin biosynthesis to prove that the isolated gene is an inducible gene for anthocyanin expression at the aleurone layer of mature rice seed. The aleurone of mature seed of RIB-Pl with purple pericarp was sufficiently exposed under five combinations. Both Cl and B-Peru, transcriptional factors controlling anthocyanin biosynthesis of maize, were introduced by particle bombardment into the aleurone exposed under these five conditions. The highest expression of anthocyanin was obtained at the aleurone of the seeds soaked at 28°C for 4 hours. The effect of concentration of plasmids with Cl and B-Peru for introduction into the aleurone of A-58 mature seed with white pericarp soaked at 28°C for 4 hours was examined. Both Cl and B-Peru were found to give high expression of anthocyanin at the same concentration. Especially, 5 μg of Cl with 5 μg of B-Peru and 5 lig of Cl with 10 μg of B-Peru showed the highest expression. In conclusion, soaking of mature rice seed at 28°C for 4 hours and introduction of 5 lig of Cl with 51μg of B-Peru into the exposed aleurone was found to be a highly efficient system for transient assay of transcriptional factors controlling anthocyanin biosynthesis.

    本研究では、穂発芽が育種上の問題となっているコムギにおける種子休眠調節機構を明らかにすることを目的としている。特にコムギの倍数性に注目し、遺伝子の発現や機能調節について解析した。
    (1)コムギの種子休眠に関わる遺伝子の探索と解析
    コムギのABAシグナル伝達に関わるいくつかの遺伝子をクローニングして発現を解析した結果、TaVp1,TaABI5,TaPKABA1,Em遺伝子が種子特異的に発現し、その発現と種子休眠との間の関連性が示唆された。コムギ糊粉層におけるトランジェントアッセイにより、TaVp1とTaABI5はABA応答Em伝子プロモーターの転写を促進し、澱粉分解酵素α-アミラーゼ遺伝子プロモーターの転写を抑制する効果を示した。
    (2)コムギ非休眠突然変異体EH47-1におけるABAシグナル伝達
    開花後35日目のEH47-1の種子は、その親系統である北系1354と比較してABA感受性が著しく低下する。この種子胚では、TaVp1発現量が低下し、TaABI5発現量が増加傾向にあることから、TaVp1とTaABI5発現は異なって制御されており、その変異体の形質がTaABI5よりもTaVP1の影響を受けることが推定された。
    (3)六倍性コムギにおける遺伝子発現の調節
    TaVp1は、他の植物のオーソログと同様に種子発達から登熟期で主に発現するが、それぞれの同祖遺伝子の発現パターンは全く異なっており、機能が分化していることが推測された。また、TaVp1は、転写後のスプライシングにより少なくとも6タイプの転写産物を生じ、そのうち4タイプは機能ドメインの欠失やフレームシフトによる終止コドン出現のため、正常な機能を失っていると推測された。このミススプライシングのほとんどは、同祖遺伝子間のいくつかの塩基配列の違いにより、TaVp1-A1から由来するものであった。TaABI5もまた、転写後に3'領域で選択的にスプライシングされ、少なくとも2種類の転写産物(TaABI5-IとTaABI5-II)を生じ、TaABI5-IIはTaABI5-Iと比較して転写活性化能力が低いことが示された。休眠/発芽調節との関連は未だ未解明であるが、少なくとも六倍性コムギの種子におけるABA関連遺伝子の発現調節には、転写レベルの調節に加えて転写後の調節が大きく関与しているものと推測される。
