Poveda J. Analysis of Marchantia polymorpha-microorganism interactions: basis for understanding plant-microbe and plant-pathogen interactions. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1301816. [PMID: 38384768 PMCID: PMC10879820 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1301816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
Marchantia polymorpha is a bryophyte gaining significance as a model plant in evolutionary studies in recent years. This is attributed to its small-sequenced genome, standardized transformation methodology, global distribution, and easy and rapid in vitro culturing. As an evolutionary model, M. polymorpha contributes to our understanding of the evolution of plant defensive responses and the associated hormonal signaling pathways. Through its interaction with microorganisms, M. polymorpha serves as a valuable source of knowledge, yielding insights into new microbial species and bioactive compounds. Bibliographic analysis involved collecting, reading, and categorizing documents obtained from the Scopus and Web of Science databases using different search terms. The review was based on 30 articles published between 1995 and 2023, with Japanese and Spanish authors emerging as the most prolific contributors in this field. These articles have been grouped into four main themes: antimicrobial metabolites produced by M. polymorpha; identification and characterization of epiphytic, endophytic, and pathogenic microorganisms; molecular studies of the direct interaction between M. polymorpha and microorganisms; and plant transformation using bacterial vectors. This review highlights the key findings from these articles and identifies potential future research directions.

Plant lineage-specific PIKMIN1 drives APC/CCCS52A2 E3-ligase activity-dependent cell division. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 191:1574-1595.

Abstract
The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) marks key cell cycle proteins for proteasomal breakdown, thereby ensuring unidirectional progression through the cell cycle. Its target recognition is temporally regulated by activating subunits, one of which is called CELL CYCLE SWITCH 52 A2 (CCS52A2). We sought to expand the knowledge on the APC/C by using the severe growth phenotypes of CCS52A2-deficient Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants as a readout in a suppressor mutagenesis screen, resulting in the identification of the previously undescribed gene called PIKMIN1 (PKN1). PKN1 deficiency rescues the disorganized root stem cell phenotype of the ccs52a2-1 mutant, whereas an excess of PKN1 inhibits the growth of ccs52a2-1 plants, indicating the need for control of PKN1 abundance for proper development. Accordingly, the lack of PKN1 in a wild-type background negatively impacts cell division, while its systemic overexpression promotes proliferation. PKN1 shows a cell cycle phase-dependent accumulation pattern, localizing to microtubular structures, including the preprophase band, the mitotic spindle, and the phragmoplast. PKN1 is conserved throughout the plant kingdom, with its function in cell division being evolutionarily conserved in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. Our data thus demonstrate that PKN1 represents a novel, plant-specific protein with a role in cell division that is likely proteolytically controlled by the CCS52A2-activated APC/C.

Abstract
BEige and Chediak-Higashi domain containing proteins (BDCPs) have been described to function in membrane-dependent processes in eukaryotes. This role was also observed for the BDCP SPIRRIG (SPI) in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana in the context of cell morphogenesis. Additionally, AtSPI was found to control salt stress resistance by mediating mRNA stability and salt stress-dependent processing body formation. In this work, we utilize an evolutionarily comparative approach to unravel conserved, basal BDCP functions in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. Our phenotypic and physiological analyses show that MpSPI is involved in cell morphogenesis and salt resistance regulation, indicating that both functions are evolutionarily conserved between the two species. Co-localization was found with endosomal and P-body markers, suggesting links to membrane-dependent processes and mRNA metabolism. Finally, we present transcriptomics data showing that AtSPI and MpSPI regulate orthologous genes in A. thaliana and M. polymorpha.

The wound-activated ERF15 transcription factor drives Marchantia polymorpha regeneration by activating an oxylipin biosynthesis feedback loop. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2022; 8:eabo7737. [PMID: 35960801 PMCID: PMC9374346 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abo7737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The regenerative potential in response to wounding varies widely among species. Within the plant lineage, the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha displays an extraordinary regeneration capacity. However, its molecular pathways controlling the initial regeneration response are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the MpERF15 transcription factor gene is instantly activated after wounding and is essential for gemmaling regeneration following tissue incision. MpERF15 operates both upstream and downstream of the MpCOI1 oxylipin receptor by controlling the expression of oxylipin biosynthesis genes. The resulting rise in the oxylipin dinor-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (dn-OPDA) levels results in an increase in gemma cell number and apical notch organogenesis, generating highly disorganized and compact thalli. Our data pinpoint MpERF15 as a key factor activating an oxylipin biosynthesis amplification loop after wounding, which eventually results in reactivation of cell division and regeneration. We suggest that the genetic networks controlling oxylipin biosynthesis in response to wounding might have been reshuffled over evolution.

Abstract
A NIMA-related protein kinase, MpNEK1, directs tip growth of rhizoids through microtubule depolymerization in a liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. The Mpnek1 knockouts were shown to develop curly and spiral rhizoids due to the fluctuated direction of growth. Still, physiological roles and mechanisms of MpNEK1-dependent rhizoid tip growth remain to be clarified. Here, we developed novel culture methods to further study rhizoid growth of M. polymorpha, in which plants were grown on vertical plates. We applied the established methods to investigate MpNEK1 function in rhizoid growth. Rhizoids of the wild-type and Mpnek1 plants grew toward the gravity. The aerial rhizoids were longer in Mpnek1 than in the wild type. When the rhizoids were grown on the surface of a cellophane sheet, rhizoid length was comparable between the wild type and Mpnek1, whereas Mpnek1 developed more rhizoids compared to the wild type. We also applied gellan gum, which is more transparent than agar, to analyze rhizoids grown in the medium. Rhizoids of Mpnek1 displayed defect on entering into the solid medium. These results suggest that Mpnek1 rhizoids have the deficiency in invasive tip growth. Thus, stable directional growth is important for rhizoids to get into the soil to anchor plant body and to adsorb water and nutrients. Collectively, our newly designed growth systems are valuable for analyzing rhizoid growth.

Functional Analyses of the Two Distinctive Types of Two-Pore Channels and the Slow Vacuolar Channel in Marchantia polymorpha. PLANT & CELL PHYSIOLOGY 2022; 63:163-175. [PMID: 34936705 DOI: 10.1093/pcp/pcab176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The two-pore channel (TPC) family is widely conserved in eukaryotes. Many vascular plants, including Arabidopsis and rice, possess a single TPC gene which functions as a slow vacuolar (SV) channel-voltage-dependent cation-permeable channel located in the vacuolar membrane (tonoplast). On the other hand, a liverwort Marchantia polymorpha genome encodes three TPC homologs: MpTPC1 is similar to TPCs in vascular plants (type 1 TPC), while MpTPC2 and MpTPC3 are classified into a distinctive group (type 2 TPC). Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the type 2 TPC emerged before the land colonization in plant evolution and was lost in vascular plants and hornworts. All of the three MpTPCs were shown to be localized at the tonoplast. We generated knockout mutants of tpc1, tpc2, tpc3 and tpc2 tpc3 double mutant by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9 genome editing and performed patch-clamp analyses of isolated vacuoles. The SV channel activity was abolished in the Mptpc1 loss-of-function mutant (Mptpc1-1KO), while Mptpc2-1KO, Mptpc3-1KO and Mptpc2-2/tpc3-2KO double mutant exhibited similar activity to the wild type, indicating that MpTPC1 (type 1) is solely responsible for the SV channel activity. Activators of mammalian TPCs, phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, did not affect the ion channel activity of any MpTPCs. These results indicate that the type 1 TPCs, which are well conserved in all land plant species, encode the SV channel, while the type 2 TPCs likely encode other tonoplast cation channel(s) distinct from the SV channel and animal TPCs.

Abstract
Agrobacterium-mediated transient gene expression is a rapid and useful approach for characterizing functions of gene products in planta. However, the practicability of the method in the model liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has not yet been thoroughly described. Here we report a simple and robust method for Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation of Marchantia thalli and its applicability. When thalli of M. polymorpha were co-cultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying β-glucuronidase (GUS) genes, GUS staining was observed primarily in assimilatory filaments and rhizoids. GUS activity was detected 2 days after infection and saturated 3 days after infection. We were able to transiently co-express fluorescently tagged proteins with proper localizations. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our method can be used as a novel pathosystem to study liverwort-bacteria interactions. We also provide evidence that air chambers support bacterial colonization.
