Nutrient dynamics in storage organs is a complex developmental process that requires coordinated interactions of environmental, biochemical, and genetic factors. Although sink organ developmental events have been identified, understanding of translational and post‐translational regulation of reserve synthesis, accumulation, and utilization in legumes is limited. To understand nutrient dynamics during embryonic and cotyledonary photoheterotrophic transition to mature and germinating autotrophic seeds, an integrated proteomics and phosphoproteomics study in six sequential seed developmental stages in chickpea is performed. MS/MS analyses identify 109 unique nutrient‐associated proteins (NAPs) involved in metabolism, storage and biogenesis, and protein turnover. Differences and similarities in 60 nutrient‐associated phosphoproteins (NAPPs) containing 93 phosphosites are compared with NAPs. Data reveal accumulation of carbon–nitrogen metabolic and photosynthetic proteoforms during seed filling. Furthermore, enrichment of storage proteoforms and protease inhibitors is associated with cell expansion and seed maturation. Finally, combined proteoforms network analysis identifies three significant modules, centered around malate dehydrogenase, HSP70, triose phosphate isomerase, and vicilin. Novel clues suggest that ubiquitin–proteasome pathway regulates nutrient reallocation. Second, increased abundance of NAPs/NAPPs related to oxidative and serine/threonine signaling indicates direct interface between redox sensing and signaling during seed development. Taken together, nutrient signals act as metabolic and differentiation determinant governing storage organ reprogramming. 相似文献

Seed dormancy is considered as an aspect of growth cessation. It is characterized by partial metabolic arrest with its inception and termination under endogenous hormonal control. Although several distinct types of seed dormancy have been recognized traditionally, an examination of the experimental literature suggests that a common regulatory mechanism exists. Dormancy onset, control, and termination are apparently regulated by a balance of growth inhibitors and promotors. At the onset of dormancy this balance is shifted in favor of the inhibitor component; at its termination it is shifted back in favor of the promotor component. The experimental evidence indicates that the levels of growth-promoting hormones decrease markedly during seed maturation, imposing dormancy. A trigger mechanism stimulates hormone activation and/or synthesis, thus terminating dormancy and culminating in resumption of embryo growth (germination). A model is proposed that embodies a hormonal regulation of four phases of dormancy: an inductive mechanism, a maintenance mechanism, a trigger mechanism, and a germination mechanism. This hormonal regulation, in conjunction with specific metabolic inhibitors, is considered to mediate the activation and/or synthesis of hydrolytic enzymes. From this model the dormant seed is viewed as a cybernetic system. Particular emphasis is given to the regulatory role of gibberellins in seed dormancy and germination. 相似文献

A short-term water deficit (WD) imposed during the pre-storage phase of lupin seed development [15-22 d after anthesis (DAA)] accelerated seed maturation and led to smaller and lighter seeds. During seed development, neutral invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) and sucrose synthase (EC 2.4.1.13) have a central role in carbohydrate metabolism. Neutral invertase is predominant during early seed development (up to 40 DAA) and sucrose synthase during the growing and storage phase (40-70 DAA). The contribution of acid invertase is marginal. WD decreased sucrose synthase activity by 2-fold and neutral invertase activity by 5-6-fold. These changes were linked to a large decrease in sucrose ( approximately 60%) and an increase of the hexose:sucrose ratio. Rewatering restored sucrose synthase activity to control levels while neutral invertase activity remained depressed (30-60%). A transient accumulation of starch observed in control seeds was abolished by WD. Despite the several metabolic changes the final seed composition was largely unaltered by WD except for approximately 60% increase in stachyose and raffinose (raffinose family oligosaccharides). This increase in raffinose family oligosaccharides appears as the WD imprinting on mature seeds. 相似文献

LECs go crazy in embryo development 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
We have reviewed studies in which LEC TFs have been used to explore totipotency via SE and regulation of the maturation phase during zygotic embryogenesis. LEC TFs are master regulators of the maturation phase, activating genes encoding seed proteins that define this phase of embryo development. Regulation of the maturation phase seems to involve a feedback loop between the LEC TFs and hormones. LEC TFs stimulate ABA levels and activate genes that repress GA levels, contributing to the high ABA to GA ratio characteristic of the maturation phase. High ABA levels in turn stimulate LEC TFs to activate seed protein genes, and the reduction in GA levels might facilitate LEC TF activity. Although the LEC TFs are master regulators of the maturation phase, LEC genes are initially expressed before the onset of the maturation phase. The cellular process that initiates the maturation phase is not known. Nor is it known how LEC TFs interact with ABA and GA at the molecular level.SE is an outstanding example of totipotency in plants. Ectopic expression of LEC genes causes vegetative or reproductive cells to change their fate and undergo somatic embryo development. LEC TFs, via LEC2, activate auxin biosynthetic enzymes, and we propose that an increase in endogenous auxin levels serves to induce SE (Figure 3). How exogenous or endogenous auxin acts as the induction signal remains to be determined. We suggest that LEC TFs enable cells to become competent to respond to the induction signal by inactivating GA and, perhaps, by increasing ABA levels (Figure 3). Thus, a potential thread between the roles of LEC TFs in the maturation phase and SE might be their involvement in controlling the ABA to GA balance. It remains to be determined whether and how ABA and GA influence embryogenic competence. Although many questions remain, substantial progress has been made in determining how the LEC TFs ‘go crazy’ during embryo development. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In angiosperms the seed is the outcome of double fertilization, a process leading to the formation of the embryo and the endosperm. The development of the two seed compartments goes through three main phases: polarization, differentiation of the main tissues and organs and maturation. SCOPE: This review focuses on the maize kernel as a model system for developmental and genetic studies of seed development in angiosperms. An overview of what is known about the genetic and molecular aspects underlying embryo and endosperm formation and maturation is presented. The role played by embryonic meristems in laying down the plant architecture is discussed. The acquisition of the different endosperm domains are presented together with the use of molecular markers available for the detection of these domains. Finally the role of programmed cell death in embryo and endosperm development is considered. CONCLUSIONS: The sequence of events occurring in the developing maize seed appears to be strictly regulated. Proper seed development requires the co-ordinated expression of embryo and endosperm genes and relies on the interaction between the two seed components and between the seed and the maternal tissues. Mutant analysis is instrumental in unravelling the genetic control underlying the formation of each compartment as well as the molecular signals interplaying between the two compartments. 相似文献

This work is part of a research program aiming at identifying and studying genes involved in Arabidopsis thaliana seed maturation. We focused here on the Wassilewskija ecotype seed development and linked physiological and biochemical data, including protein, oil, soluble sugars, starch and free amino acid measurements, to embryo development, to obtain a complete and thorough reference data set. A. thaliana seed development can be divided into three stages. During early embryogenesis (i.e. morphogenesis), seed weight and lipid content were low whereas important amounts of starch were transiently accumulated. In the second stage, or maturation phase, a rapid increase in seed dry weight was observed and storage oils and proteins were accumulated in large quantities, accounting for approximately 40% of dry matter each at the end of this stage. During the third and last stage (late maturation including acquisition of desiccation tolerance), seed dry weight remained constant while an acute loss of water took place in the seed. Storage compound synthesis ended concomitantly with sucrose, stachyose and raffinose accumulation. This study revealed the occurrence of metabolic activities such as protein synthesis, in the final phase of embryo desiccation. A striking correlation between peaks in hexose to sucrose ratio and transition phases during embryogenesis was observed. 相似文献

Protein synthesis was studied during precocious and natural soybean seed (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) maturation. Developing seeds harvested 35 days after flowering were precociously matured through controlled dehydration. Total soluble proteins and proteins labeled with [35S]methionine were extracted from control, developing seeds and from precociously and naturally matured seeds and were analyzed by one-dimensional PAGE and fluorography. The results demonstrated that several polypeptides which were designated “mature polypeptides,” were synthesized de novo during precocious and natural seed maturation. Two of these polypeptides, 31 and 128 kilodalton in mass, also stained intensely with Coomassie blue, suggesting their abundant accumulation during seed maturation. Results from in vitro translation experiments showed that the mRNAs corresponding to these “maturation polypeptides” accumulated during precocious maturation and in naturally matured seeds, but not in seeds freshly harvested 35 days after flowering (control). The role of the “maturation polypeptides” is currently unknown; however, their presence and that of their corresponding mRNAs was coincident with the ability of matured seeds to establish seedling growth. This study has demonstrated that precocious seed maturation treatments may be extremely useful for investigations of metabolic events and molecular control mechanisms affecting soybean seed maturation. 相似文献

Maize (Zea mays) seeds are a good source of protein, despite being deficient in several essential amino acids. However, eliminating the highly abundant but poorly balanced seed storage proteins has revealed that the regulation of seed amino acids is complex and does not rely on only a handful of proteins. In this study, we used two complementary omics-based approaches to shed light on the genes and biological processes that underlie the regulation of seed amino acid composition. We first conducted a genome-wide association study to identify candidate genes involved in the natural variation of seed protein-bound amino acids. We then used weighted gene correlation network analysis to associate protein expression with seed amino acid composition dynamics during kernel development and maturation. We found that almost half of the proteome was significantly reduced during kernel development and maturation, including several translational machinery components such as ribosomal proteins, which strongly suggests translational reprogramming. The reduction was significantly associated with a decrease in several amino acids, including lysine and methionine, pointing to their role in shaping the seed amino acid composition. When we compared the candidate gene lists generated from both approaches, we found a nonrandom overlap of 80 genes. A functional analysis of these genes showed a tight interconnected cluster dominated by translational machinery genes, especially ribosomal proteins, further supporting the role of translation dynamics in shaping seed amino acid composition. These findings strongly suggest that seed biofortification strategies that target the translation machinery dynamics should be considered and explored further.An integrated approach reveals the key role of translational machinery in maize kernel amino acid natural variation and homeostasis, highlighting targets for seed amino acid biofortification. 相似文献

Inga vera, native to South America, is an important leguminous species used for ecological restoration of riparian forests and its seeds are among the most recalcitrant ones described up to date. In this work, we analysed the metabolic profile, cell ultrastructure as well as cell wall polysaccharides of I. vera seeds in order to better understand its maturation, which allows embryo germination without a quiescent phase. Increased amounts of citric, glutamic, pyroglutamic, and aspartic acids from stages I to II (120 and 129 days after flowering (DAF)) corroborate the hypothesis of high metabolism, shifting from fermentative to aerobic respiration at seed maturity. This phase was characterized by an extensive vacuolization of embryonic cells, which also indicate high metabolic activity. The proportion of arabinose in the cell walls of embryonic axis (approx. 20%) was lower than those found in some orthodox seeds (nearly 40%), suggesting that arabinose-containing polysaccharides, which are thought to provide more flexibility to the cell wall during natural drying, are less abundant in I. vera seeds. Taken together, our results provide evidence that the major changes occurred during early stages of seed maturation of I. vera, indicating that the rapid temporary metabolic shift observed between stages I and II may be related to the lack of desiccation phase, moving directly to germination. 相似文献

Functional characterization of genes involved in the flavonoid metabolism and its regulation requires in-depth analysis of flavonoid structure and composition of seed from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we report an analysis of the diverse and specific flavonoids that accumulate during seed development and maturation in wild types and mutants. Wild type seed contained more than 26 different flavonoids belonging to flavonols (mono and diglycosylated quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin derivatives) and flavan-3-ols (epicatechin monomers and soluble procyanidin polymers with degrees of polymerization up to 9). Most of them are described for the first time in Arabidopsis. Interestingly, a novel group of four biflavonols that are dimers of quercetin-rhamnoside was also detected. Quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside (the major flavonoid), biflavonols, epicatechin and procyanidins accumulated in the seed coat in contrast to diglycosylated flavonols that were essentially observed in the embryo. Epicatechin, procyanidins and an additional quercetin-rhamnoside-hexoside derivative were synthesized in large quantities during seed development, whereas quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside displayed two peaks of accumulation. Finally, 11 mutants affected in known structural or regulatory functions of the pathway and their three corresponding wild types were also studied. Flavonoid profiles of the mutants were consistent with previous predictions based on genetic and molecular data. In addition, they also revealed the presence of new products in seed and underlined the plasticity of this metabolic pathway in the mutants. 相似文献
