However, the causal relationships between epigenetic modifications and imprinted expression are not fully understood. In this study, we classified ‘persistent’ and ‘stage-specific’ imprinted genes on the basis of time-course transcriptome analysis in rice (Oryza sativa) endosperm and compared them to epigenetic modifications at a single time point. While the levels of epigenetic modifications are relatively low in stage-specific imprinted genes, they are considerably higher in persistent imprinted genes. Overall trends revealed that the maternal alleles of maternally expressed imprinted genes are activated by DNA demethylation, while the maternal alleles of paternally expressed imprinted genes with gene body methylation (gbM) are silenced by DNA demethylation and H3K27me3 deposition, and these regions are associated with an enriched motif related to Tc/Mar-Stowaway. Our findings provide insight into the stability of genomic imprinting and the potential variations associated with endosperm development, different cell types and parental genotypes. Time-course analysis of rice imprinted genes revealed persistent and stage-specific imprinted genes. These two classes showed differences in the degree of epigenetic status and biased expression in a temporal and spatial manner in the endosperm.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141794605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their prevalence and role in plants is largely unexplored. Here, we comprehensively captured all actively initiating (nascent) transcripts across diverse crops and other plants using capped small (cs)RNA sequencing. We discovered that unstable transcripts are rare in plants, unlike in vertebrates, and when present, often originate from promoters. In addition, many ‘distal’ elements in plants initiate tissue-specific stable transcripts and are likely bona fide promoters of as-yet-unannotated genes or non-coding RNAs, cautioning against using reference genome annotations to infer putative enhancer sites. To investigate enhancer function, we integrated data from self-transcribing active regulatory region (STARR) sequencing. We found that annotated promoters and other regions that initiate stable transcripts, but not those marked by unstable or bidirectional unstable transcripts, showed stronger enhancer activity in this assay. Our findings underscore the blurred line between promoters and enhancers and suggest that cis-regulatory elements can encompass diverse structures and mechanisms in eukaryotes, including humans. Unstable transcripts like enhancer RNAs are common in vertebrates. McDonald et al. show that such unstable transcripts are rare in plants and that promoters can function as potent enhancers, suggesting diverse cis-regulatory mechanisms in eukaryotes.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41477-024-01741-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141794606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How the floral bud becomes sealed is unknown. In Arabidopsis, we identified a small region at the sepal tip that is markedly curved inward early on and remains curved even after anthesis. Through modelling and quantitative growth analysis, we find that this hook emerges from growth arrest at the tip at a stage when cortical microtubules align with growth-derived tensile stress. Depolymerizing microtubules specifically at young sepal tips hindered hook formation and resulted in open floral buds. Mutants with defective growth pattern at the tip failed to curve inwards, whereas mutants with enhanced alignment of cortical microtubules at the tip exhibited a stronger hook. We propose that floral buds are locked due to a stress-derived growth arrest event curving the sepal tip and forming a rigid hook early on during flower development. Floral buds are closed structures that protect reproductive organs. Here the authors find that differential growth prescribes transverse tensile stress and growth arrest at the sepal tip, which in turn curve it and form a rigid hook to seal the floral bud.","PeriodicalId":18904,"journal":{"name":"Nature Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141764313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
