PLANT CELL REPORTS 2012; 31:2261-9. [PMID: 22926032 DOI: 10.1007/s00299-012-1335-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2012] [Revised: 08/07/2012] [Accepted: 08/09/2012] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
A standard method has been developed with which we are able to fully regenerate protoplasts of different Cichorium species. For the first time, endive protoplasts have been regenerated into plantlets. Protoplast regeneration is essential for somatic hybridizations. In this study, a standard method for plantlet regeneration from Cichorium protoplasts was developed. We evaluated the effect of the low melting point agarose (LMPA) bead technique on the regeneration capacity of protoplasts of seven C. intybus and four C. endivia genotypes. The LMPA bead technique was more efficient than culture in liquid or solid medium and allowed us to obtain plating efficiencies up to 4.9 % in C. intybus genotypes and efficiencies of up to 0.7 % in C. endivia genotypes. Moreover, the LMPA bead technique offers great advantages over liquid and solid culture systems: the media can be readily refreshed, protoplasts can be monitored separately, and microcalli can easily be removed from the beads. This increased efficiency was observed for all of the 11 Cichorium genotypes tested. Shoot formation was induced more efficiently when using 0.5 mg l(-1) indole-3-acetic acid-enriched medium (up to 87.5 % of the protoplast-derived calli started shoot development) compared to 1-naphthaleneacetic acid-enriched medium. The LMPA bead technique optimized in this study enabled for the first time the full plantlet regeneration from protoplasts of C. endivia genotypes and increased the protoplast regenerating ability in other Cichorium species. This fine-tuned LMPA bead technique can therefore be applied for protoplast regeneration after protoplast fusions of the genus Cichorium.

A novel role for Arabidopsis mitochondrial ABC transporter ATM3 in molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis. THE PLANT CELL 2010; 22:468-80. [PMID: 20164445 PMCID: PMC2845412 DOI: 10.1105/tpc.109.068478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 96] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2009] [Revised: 12/29/2009] [Accepted: 02/03/2010] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is a prosthetic group required by a number of enzymes, such as nitrate reductase, sulfite oxidase, xanthine dehydrogenase, and aldehyde oxidase. Its biosynthesis in eukaryotes can be divided into four steps, of which the last three are proposed to occur in the cytosol. Here, we report that the mitochondrial ABC transporter ATM3, previously implicated in the maturation of extramitochondrial iron-sulfur proteins, has a crucial role also in Moco biosynthesis. In ATM3 insertion mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana, the activities of nitrate reductase and sulfite oxidase were decreased to approximately 50%, whereas the activities of xanthine dehydrogenase and aldehyde oxidase, whose activities also depend on iron-sulfur clusters, were virtually undetectable. Moreover, atm3 mutants accumulated cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate, the first intermediate of Moco biosynthesis, but showed decreased amounts of Moco. Specific antibodies against the Moco biosynthesis proteins CNX2 and CNX3 showed that the first step of Moco biosynthesis is localized in the mitochondrial matrix. Together with the observation that cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate accumulated in purified mitochondria, particularly in atm3 mutants, our data suggest that mitochondria and the ABC transporter ATM3 have a novel role in the biosynthesis of Moco.

Abstract
Using a transgenic line that overexpresses a fusion of the KNAT2 (KNOTTED-like Arabidopsis) homeodomain protein and the hormone-binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), we have investigated the possible relations between KNAT2 and various hormones. Upon activation of the KNAT2-GR fusion, we observed a delayed senescence of the leaves and a higher rate of shoot initiation, two processes that are also induced by cytokinins and inhibited by ethylene. Furthermore, the activation of the KNAT2-GR fusion induced lobing of the leaves. This feature was partially suppressed by treatment with the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, or by the constitutive ethylene response ctr1 mutation. Conversely, some phenotypic traits of the ctr1 mutant were suppressed by the activation of the KNAT2-GR fusion. These data suggest that KNAT2 acts synergistically with cytokinins and antagonistically with ethylene. In the shoot apical meristem, the KNAT2 gene is expressed in the L3 layer and the rib zone. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid treatment restricted the KNAT2 expression domain in the shoot apical meristem and reduced the number of cells in the L3. The latter effect was suppressed by the activation of the KNAT2-GR construct. Conversely, the KNAT2 gene expression domain was enlarged in the ethylene-resistant etr1-1 mutant or in response to cytokinin treatment. These data suggest that ethylene and cytokinins act antagonistically in the meristem via KNAT2 to regulate the meristem activity.

Abstract
The molybdenum cofactor (Moco), a highly conserved pterin compound complexing molybdenum, is required for the enzymatic activities of all molybdenum enzymes except nitrogenase. Moco is synthesized by a unique and evolutionarily old pathway that requires the activities of at least six gene products. Some of the proteins involved in bacterial, plant, and invertebrate Moco biosynthesis show striking homologies to the primary structure of gephyrin, a polypeptide required for the clustering of inhibitory glycine receptors in postsynaptic membranes in the rat central nervous system. Here, we show that gephyrin binds with high affinity to molybdopterin, the metabolic precursor of Moco. Furthermore, gephyrin expression can reconstitute Moco biosynthesis in Moco-deficient bacteria, a molybdenum-dependent mouse cell line, and a Moco-deficient plant mutant. Conversely, inhibition of gephyrin expression by antisense RNA expression in cultured murine cells reduces their Moco content significantly. These data indicate that in addition to clustering glycine receptors, gephyrin also is involved in Moco biosynthesis and illustrate the remarkable conservation of its function in Moco biosynthesis throughout phylogeny.

Abstract
Plant regeneration has been obtained from Chrysanthemum mesophyll protoplasts. Of the twenty-nine clones studied, division was observed for eighteen clones, and coupled with colony formation for sixteen of them. Elimination of NH4NO3 from the culture medium greatly improved colony survival in culture. Calli were obtained from colonies of five clones, and for clone n(o) 42 buds were produced. Regeneration ability, for such protoplast-derived calli of clone n(o) 42, was retained over a prolonged culture period. The regenerated plants were successfully transferred to the glasshouse (4 to 5 months from protoplast isolation).

Abstract
Plasma-membrane dynamics in live protoplasts from maize (Zea mays L.) roots were characterized and examined for relationships as to the ability of the protoplasts to synthesize new cell walls and develop to cells capable of division. The lateral diffusion-coefficients and mobile fractions of fluorescence-labeled plasma-membrane proteins and lipids were measured by fluorescence photobleaching recovery. Small but significant effects on the diffusion of membrane proteins were observed after treatments with oryzalin or amiprophosmethyl, microtubule-disrupting drugs that increased the mobile fraction, and after treatments with cytochalasins B or D, microfilament-disrupting drugs that decreased the diffusion coefficient. A number of parameters were tested for correlative effects on membrane dynamics and protoplast performance in culture. Protoplasts isolated with a cellulase preparation from Trichoderma viride showed faster membrane-protein diffusion and a lower frequency of development to cells capable of division than did protoplasts isolated with a cellulase preparation from T. reesei. Membrane proteins in maize A632, a line less capable of plant regeneration from callus, diffused with a smaller diffusion coefficient but a greater mobile fraction than did membrane proteins in maize A634, a line with greater regeneration capacity. The plasma membranes of A632 and A634 protoplasts also differed with regard to lateral-diffusion characteristics of phospholipid and sterol probes, although the presence of both rapidly and slowly diffusing lipid components indicated the apparent existence of lipid domains in both A632 and A634. The protoplasts of the two lines did not differ significantly, however, in either wall regeneration or frequency of development to cells capable of division.

Abstract
Protoplasts were isolated from leaves, shoots, cotyledons, ray florets and callus cultures of Dimorphotheca aurantiaca (syn. D. sinuata) (Cape Marigold, Star of the Veldt) and Rudbeckia hirta, R. laciniata and R. purpurea; species of ornamental value. For Dimorphotheca, plants were regenerated from protoplasts of all sources apart from the ray floret, whilst for the Rudbeckia species, although protoplast division was induced in most cases, only leaf mesophyll protoplasts of R. hirta c.v. Marmalade gave plants. The establishment of plant regeneration for these ornamental species, from protoplasts, now provides a basis for their somatic hybridisation.

Abstract
High yields of viable protoplasts were obtained by enzymatic treatment from cotyledonary leaves of various greenhouse grown Phaseolus vulgaris L. cultivars. The protoplasts divided and formed cell clusters in a liquid medium. Early transfer before 10 days in the same medium was necessary for the development of cell colonies. When transferred to solid medium, the colonies gave rise to proliferating green calli. Deep green patches developed on these calli but failed to form shoots.

Abstract
Callus derived protoplasts of Brachycome dichromosomatica (2n=2x=4) and Crepis capillaris (2n=2x=6) have been regenerated into karyologically normal plants, i.e. plants without visible alterations of the diploid chromosome set. However, metaphase analysis of protoplast cultures derived from both callus as well as mesophyll cells showed karyological changes in the overwhelming majority of cells in both species leading to multinucleated, polyploid and aneuploid cells. Furthermore, callus derived protoplasts sometimes exhibited changes at the chromosome level as indicated by translocations. The vast majority of aberrant karyotypes arose from failures during mitosis and cytokinesis, pointing to inadequate microtubules as a possible underlying cause. Karyological events of the kind described herein greatly affect the plating efficiency of isolated protoplasts and the viability of protoplast derived calli. Plant regeneration, although demonstrated in this study for the first time in both species, seems to be limited to rarely occurring, protoplast-derived colonies with a relatively stable genome. Our experiments, performed with chromosomal model species, emphasize the need for controlled, non-mutagenic culture conditions.
