The aim of my research is to understand the mechanisms of metabolic control of shoot elongation and wood formation in the model plant Populus. We want to understand how plant hormones and other metabolites are involved in the control of plant development, and how different environmental cues, such as photoperiod, affect the metabolic control of growth and development. The metabolic control of growth and development are studied by using both targeted and untargeted metabolomics approaches.
Gibberellins (GAs) are a group of tetracyclic diterpenes, some of which are essential endogenous regulators that influence growth and development events throughout the life cycle of a plant, e.g. shoot elongation, expansion and shape of leaves, flowering and seed germination. Our project is concerned with the role of GAs in plant development, and daylength responses, focusing on the tree hybrid aspen (Populus tremula x P. tremuloides) as a model system. Our approach for studying the role of GAs in trees is to study endogenous expression of GA biosynthetic and signalling genes and to transform Populus with genes encoding those genes.
Populus transformed with the AtGA20ox1 under the control of the 35S promoter shows elongated internodes, longer petioles and larger leaves, reduced root formation and increased shoot biomass.We have also char- acterized the GA receptor, GID1 in Populus. Four orthologs of GID1 have been identified in Populus tremula x P. tremuloides (PttGID1.1 to 1.4). When PttGID1.1 and PttGID1.3 were overexpressed in Populus with a 35S promoter, overexpressors shared several similar phenotypic traits with previously described 35S:AtGA20ox1 overexpressors, including rapid growth and increased elongation.
We are also studying the role of GAs and other signaling compounds in wood formation. The role of GAs is done by both using transgenic Populus with increased levels of GAs and signalling and by predicting where GAs are formed and perceived during wood formation. For example, we have quantified GAs and analyzed the expression of GA biosynthesis genes and genes with predicted roles in GA signalling in tangential sections across the cambial region of aspen trees (Populus tremula). The results show, for example inter alia, that the bioactive GA and GA 14 predominantly occur in the zone of expansion of xylem cells.
Studies with transgenic Populus overexpressing AtGA20ox1 or PttGID1 with 35S or a xylem-specific promoter, suggest that GAs are required for two distinct processes in wood formation with tissue-specific signalling pathways: xylogenesis, mediated by GA signalling in the cambium, and fibre elongation in developing xylem.
By using a metabolomics approach we are also studying how specific patterns of metabolites, including signalling compounds, are vary in different regions of the wood-forming zone in Populus. From the data we can conclude that cambial activity, cell expansion and secondary cell wall thickening are tightly coupled processes, Many of these patterns can be explained on the basis of the developmental processes taking place within these regions, e.g. in the cambium.
Many woody species with indeterminate growth show complete cessation of elongation growth after only a few weeks in short photoperiods. In hybrid aspen transformed with the oat PHYA gene, the dwarf phenotype is correlated with a reduction in GA levels, but in short photoperiods there is no further reduction in GA contents, in marked contrast to the pattern in wild-type plants. These observations imply that GAs have an important role as signals in the photoperiodic regulation of shoot elongation. We have also been studying transgenic GA plants to elucidate how changes in GA levels and signalling affect photoperiodic growth. Studies in PHYA and GA biosynthesis/signalling overexpressors are used with transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches to elucidate the early signalling pathways in short-day induced growth cessation, including identification of new putative signalling compounds.

In human white adipocytes, reductions in glutaminase activity promote aerobic glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative capacity via increases in hypoxia-inducible factor 1α abundance, lactate levels and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling. Systemic glutaminase inhibition in male and female mice, or genetically in adipocytes of male mice, triggers the activation of thermogenic gene programs in inguinal adipocytes.

We have targeted the expression of a fungal α-glucuronidase to the wood cell wall of aspen (Populus tremula L. × tremuloides Michx.) and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh), to decrease contents of the 4-O-methyl glucuronopyranose acid (mGlcA) substituent of xylan, to elucidate mGlcA's functions. The enzyme affected the content of aliphatic insoluble cell wall components having composition similar to suberin, which required mGlcA for binding to cell walls. Such suberin-like compounds have been previously identified in decayed wood, but here, we show their presence in healthy wood of both hardwood and softwood species. By contrast, γ-ester bonds between mGlcA and lignin were insensitive to cell wall-localized α-glucuronidase, supporting the intracellular formation of these bonds. These findings challenge the current view of the wood cell wall composition and reveal a novel function of mGlcA substituent of xylan in fastening of suberin-like compounds to cell wall.

Less defended, non-resinous shrubs could be more influenced by herbivores than more defended, resinous shrubs. However, sparse field measurements limit our current understanding of how much of the circum-Arctic variation in defence compounds is explained by taxa or defence functional groups (resinous/non-resinous). We measured circum-Arctic chemical defence and leaf digestibility in resinous (Betula glandulosa, B. nana ssp. exilis) and non-resinous (B. nana ssp. nana, B. pumila) shrub birches to see how they vary among and within taxa and functional groups. Using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) metabolomic analyses and in vitro leaf digestibility via incubation in cattle rumen fluid, we analysed defence composition and leaf digestibility in 128 samples from 44 tundra locations. We found biogeographical patterns in anti-herbivore defence where mean leaf triterpene concentrations and twig resin gland density were greater in resinous taxa and mean concentrations of condensing tannins were greater in non-resinous taxa. This indicates a biome-wide trade-off between triterpene- or tannin-dominated defences. However, we also found variations in chemical defence composition and resin gland density both within and among functional groups (resinous/non-resinous) and taxa, suggesting these categorisations only partly predict chemical herbivore defence. Complex tannins were the only defence compounds negatively related to in vitro digestibility, identifying this previously neglected tannin group as having a potential key role in birch anti-herbivore defence. We conclude that circum-Arctic variation in birch anti-herbivore defence can be partly derived from biogeographical distributions of birch taxa, although our detailed mapping of plant defence provides more information on this variation and can be used for better predictions of herbivore effects on Arctic vegetation.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2022-09-08}, journal = {Ecography}, author = {Lindén, Elin and te Beest, Mariska and Aubreu, Ilka and Moritz, Thomas and Sundqvist, Maja K. and Barrio, Isabel C. and Boike, Julia and Bryant, John P. and Bråthen, Kari Anne and Buchwal, Agata and Bueno, C.

In human in vitro and murine in vivo models, we demonstrate that decreased phosphocreatine metabolism in white adipocytes alters adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase activity via effects on adenosine triphosphate/adenosine diphosphate levels, independently of WAT beigeing. This disturbance promotes a pro-inflammatory profile characterized, in part, by increased chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) production.

It is generally acknowledged that the ability to withstand senescence-inducing conditions can provide plants with stress resilience. Although the signaling and transcriptional networks responsible for a delayed senescence phenotype, often referred to as a functional stay-green trait, have been actively investigated, very little is known about the subsequent metabolic adjustments conferring this aptitude to survival. First, using the individually darkened leaf (IDL) experimental setup, we compared IDLs of wild-type (WT) Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) to several stay-green contexts, that is IDLs of two functional stay-green mutant lines, oresara1-2 (ore1-2) and an allele of phytochrome-interacting factor 5 (pif5), as well as to leaves from a WT plant entirely darkened (DP). We provide compelling evidence that arginine and ornithine, which accumulate in all stay-green contexts—likely due to the lack of induction of amino acids (AAs) transport—can delay the progression of senescence by fueling the Krebs cycle or the production of polyamines (PAs). Secondly, we show that the conversion of putrescine to spermidine (SPD) is controlled in an age-dependent manner. Thirdly, we demonstrate that SPD represses senescence via interference with ethylene signaling by stabilizing the ETHYLENE BINDING FACTOR1 and 2 (EBF1/2) complex. Taken together, our results identify arginine and ornithine as central metabolites influencing the stress- and age-dependent progression of leaf senescence. We propose that the regulatory loop between the pace of the AA export and the progression of leaf senescence provides the plant with a mechanism to fine-tune the induction of cell death in leaves, which, if triggered unnecessarily, can impede nutrient remobilization and thus plant growth and survival.}, number = {4}, urldate = {2022-08-08}, journal = {Plant Physiology}, author = {Liebsch, Daniela and Juvany, Marta and Li, Zhonghai and Wang, Hou-Ling and Ziolkowska, Agnieszka and Chrobok, Daria and Boussardon, Clément and Wen, Xing and Law, Simon R and Janečková, Helena and Brouwer, Bastiaan and Lindén, Pernilla and Delhomme, Nicolas and Stenlund, Hans and Moritz, Thomas and Gardeström, Per and Guo, Hongwei and Keech, Olivier}, month = aug, year = {2022}, pages = {1943--1960}, }

Despite that EPDR1 is expressed in human pancreatic β-cells and that glucose-stimulated mitochondrial metabolism is critical for stimulus-secretion coupling in β-cells, the role of EPDR1 in β-cell metabolism and function has not been investigated. Methods EPDR1 mRNA levels in human pancreatic islets from non-diabetic (ND) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects were assessed. Human islets, EndoC-βH1 and INS1 832/13 cells were transfected with scramble (control) and EPDR1 siRNAs (EPDR1-KD) or treated with human EPDR1 protein, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) assessed by ELISA. Mitochondrial metabolism was investigated by extracellular flux analyzer, confocal microscopy and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics analysis. Results EPDR1 mRNA expression was upregulated in human islets from T2D and obese donors and positively correlated to BMI of donors. In T2D donors, EPDR1 mRNA levels negatively correlated with HbA1c and positively correlated with GSIS. EPDR1 silencing in human islets and β-cell lines reduced GSIS whereas treatment with human EPDR1 protein increased GSIS. Epdr1 silencing in INS1 832/13 cells reduced glucose- and pyruvate- but not K+-stimulated insulin secretion. Metabolomics analysis in Epdr1-KD INS1 832/13 cells suggests diversion of glucose-derived pyruvate to lactate production and decreased malate-aspartate shuttle and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity. The glucose-stimulated rise in mitochondrial respiration and ATP/ADP-ratio was impaired in Epdr1-deficient cells.

In the Brazilian Cerrado, the vegetation is adapted to a seasonal climate with long- and short-term periods of drought. To analyze the metabolic strategies under such conditions, a metabolomic approach was used to characterize Gomphrena agrestis Mart. (Amaranthaceae) a native species that grows under natural conditions, in a rock-field area. Roots and leaves material from native specimens were sampled along different seasons of the year and LC–MS and GC–MS analyzed for multiple chemical constituents. The datasets derived from the different measurements were combined and evaluated using multivariate analysis. Principal component analysis was used to obtain an overview of the samples and identify outliers. Later, the data was analyzed with orthogonal projection to latent structures discriminant analysis to obtain valid models that could explain the metabolite variations in the different seasons. Two hundred and eighty metabolites were annotated, generating a unique database to characterize metabolic strategies used to cope with the effects of drought. The accumulation of fructans in the thickened roots is consistent with the storage of carbons during the rainy season to support the energy demand during a long period of drought. The accumulation of Abscisic acid, sugars and sugar alcohols, phenolics, and pigment in the leaves suggests physiological adaptations. To cope with long-term drought, the data suggests that tissue water status and storage of reserves are important to support plant survival and regrowth. However, during short-term drought, osmoregulation and oxidative protection seems to be essential, probably to support the maintenance of active photosynthesis.}, language = {en}, number = {1}, urldate = {2021-11-04}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, author = {Melo, Geraldo Aclécio and Abreu, Ilka Nacif and de Oliveira, Maíra Baista and Budzinski, Ilara Gabriela Frasson and Silva, Lucinélia Vieira and Pimenta, Marcio Antônio Silva and Moritz, Thomas}, month = jun, year = {2021}, keywords = {Plant physiology, Plant sciences, Plant stress responses}, pages = {12933}, }

Targeted modification of the chemical composition of the feedstock can improve saccharification but this gain is often abrogated by concomitant reduction in tree growth. Results In this study, we report on transgenic hybrid aspen ( Populus tremula × tremuloides ) lines that showed potential to increase biomass production both in the greenhouse and after 5 years of growth in the field. The transgenic lines carried an overexpression construct for Populus tremula × tremuloides vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)-associated protein PttVAP27-17 that was selected from a gene-mining program for novel regulators of wood formation. Analytical-scale enzymatic saccharification without any pretreatment revealed for all greenhouse-grown transgenic lines, compared to the wild type, a 20–44\% increase in the glucose yield per dry weight after enzymatic saccharification, even though it was statistically significant only for one line. The glucose yield after enzymatic saccharification with a prior hydrothermal pretreatment step with sulfuric acid was not increased in the greenhouse-grown transgenic trees on a dry-weight basis, but increased by 26–50\% when calculated on a whole biomass basis in comparison to the wild-type control. Tendencies to increased glucose yields by up to 24\% were present on a whole tree biomass basis after acidic pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification also in the transgenic trees grown for 5 years on the field when compared to the wild-type control. Conclusions The results demonstrate the usefulness of gene-mining programs to identify novel genes with the potential to improve biofuel production in tree biotechnology programs.

Overall, our results show high variation between individuals across different molecular readouts, while the intra-individual baseline variation is low. The analyses show that each individual has a unique and stable plasma protein profile throughout the study period and that many individuals also show distinct profiles with regards to the other omics datasets, with strong underlying connections between the blood proteome and the clinical chemistry parameters.

Although MeJA is applied experimentally to mimic herbivory and induce plant defences, its downstream effects on the plant metabolome are largely uncharacterized, especially in the context of primary growth and tissue-specificity of the response. Objectives We investigated the effects of MeJA-simulated and real caterpillar herbivory on the foliar metabolome of the wild plant Brassica nigra and monitored the herbivore-induced responses in relation to leaf ontogeny. Methods As single or multiple herbivory treatments, MeJA- and mock-sprayed plants were consecutively exposed to caterpillars or left untreated. Gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) time-of-flight mass-spectrometry (TOF-MS) were combined to analyse foliar compounds, including central primary and specialized defensive plant metabolites. Results Plant responses were stronger in young leaves, which simultaneously induced higher chlorophyll levels. Both MeJA and caterpillar herbivory induced similar, but not identical, accumulation of tricarboxylic acids (TCAs), glucosinolates (GSLs) and phenylpropanoids (PPs), but only caterpillar feeding led to depletion of amino acids. MeJA followed by caterpillars caused higher induction of defence compounds, including a three-fold increase in the major defence compound allyl-GSL (sinigrin). When feeding on MeJA-treated plants, caterpillars gained less weight indicative of the reduced host-plant quality and enhanced resistance. Conclusions The metabolomics approach showed that plant responses induced by herbivory extend beyond the regulation of defence metabolism and are tightly modulated throughout leaf development. This leads to a new understanding of the plant metabolic potential that can be exploited for future plant protection strategies.}, language = {en}, number = {10}, urldate = {2021-06-07}, journal = {Metabolomics}, author = {Papazian, Stefano and Girdwood, Tristan and Wessels, Bernard A. and Poelman, Erik H. and Dicke, Marcel and Moritz, Thomas and Albrectsen, Benedicte R.}, month = oct, year = {2019}, pages = {130}, }

While insoluble protein aggregates are the defining pathological confirmation of diagnosis, patient stratification based on early molecular etiologies may identify distinct subgroups within a clinical diagnosis that would respond differently in therapeutic development programs. We are developing targeted multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry methods to rigorously quantify CSF proteins from known disease genes involved in lysosomal, ubiquitin-proteasomal, and autophagy pathways. Analysis of CSF from 21 PD, 21 ALS, and 25 control patients, rigorously matched for gender, age, and age of sample, revealed significant changes in peptide levels between PD, ALS, and control. In patients with PD, levels of two peptides for chromogranin B (CHGB, secretogranin 1) were significantly reduced. In CSF of patients with ALS, levels of two peptides from ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase like protein 1 (UCHL1) and one peptide each for glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) and cathepsin D (CTSD) were all increased. Analysis of patients with ALS separated into two groups based on length of survival after CSF sampling revealed that the increases in GPNMB and UCHL1 were specific for short-lived ALS patients.

The concentration of the peptides recovered with the probes was 25–39\% (relative recovery) of the concentration in the external solution, and followed the same trend as previously observed for amino acids, with smaller peptides (e.g. Gly-Gly) recovered at a higher rate than larger ones (e.g. Tyr-Phe). After derivatisation with AccQ-Tag™, a standard method for amino acids, peptides were analysed by ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry was used to quantify specific peptides with a short run time of 15 min and a detection limit of 0.01–0.02 pmol injected (0.005–0.01 pmol µL–1) for the different peptides.

We sought to characterize shared and unique metabolite perturbations between ALS and PD and matched controls selected from patients with other diagnoses, including differential diagnoses to ALS or PD that visited our clinic for a lumbar puncture. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma from rigorously age-, sex- and sampling-date matched patients were analyzed on multiple platforms using gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC)–mass spectrometry (MS). We applied constrained randomization of run orders and orthogonal partial least squares projection to latent structure-effect projections (OPLS-EP) to capitalize upon the study design. The combined platforms identified 144 CSF and 196 plasma metabolites with diverse molecular properties. Creatine was found to be increased and creatinine decreased in CSF of ALS patients compared to matched controls. Glucose was increased in CSF of ALS patients and α-hydroxybutyrate was increased in CSF and plasma of ALS patients compared to matched controls. Leucine, isoleucine and ketoleucine were increased in CSF of both ALS and PD. Together, these studies, in conjunction with earlier studies, suggest alterations in energy utilization pathways and have identified and further validated perturbed metabolites to be used in panels of biomarkers for the diagnosis of ALS and PD.}, language = {en}, number = {4}, urldate = {2021-06-07}, journal = {Molecular BioSystems}, author = {Wuolikainen, Anna and Jonsson, Pär and Ahnlund, Maria and Antti, Henrik and Marklund, Stefan L. and Moritz, Thomas and Forsgren, Lars and Andersen, Peter M. and Trupp, Miles}, year = {2016}, pages = {1287--1298}, }

Tracking of (13)C incorporation to wood over a time course using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed diurnal patterns in wood cell wall biosynthesis. The dark period had a differential effect on (13)C incorporation to lignin and cell wall carbohydrates. No (13)C was incorporated into aromatic amino acids of cell wall proteins in the dark, suggesting that cell wall protein biosynthesis ceased during the night.

Of the metabolites identified, several showed significant differences in concentration between cell types. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to compare metabolite patterns between cell and tissue types, showing that the patterns differed substantially.

Levels of active GAs are regulated by biosynthetic and catabolic enzymes like the GA 2-oxidases (GA2oxs). In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) C19 GA2oxs are encoded by a small multigenic family of five members with some degree of redundancy. In order to investigate their roles in tomato, the silencing of all five genes in transgenic plants was induced. A significant increase in active GA4 content was found in the ovaries of transgenic plants. In addition, the transgenic unfertilized ovaries were much bigger than wild-type ovaries (about 30 times) and a certain proportion (5-37\%) were able to develop parthenocarpically. Among the GA2ox family, genes GA2ox1 and -2 seem to be the most relevant for this phenotype since their expression was induced in unfertilized ovaries and repressed in developing fruits, inversely correlating with ovary growth. Interestingly, transgenic lines exhibited a significant inhibition of branching and a higher content of active GA4 in axillary buds. This phenotype was reverted, in transgenic plants, by the application of paclobutrazol, a GA biosynthesis inhibitor, suggesting a role for GAs as repressors of branching. In summary, this work demonstrates that GA 2-oxidases regulate gibberellin levels in ovaries and axillary buds of tomato plants and their silencing is responsible for parthenocarpic fruit growth and branching inhibition.}, language = {en}, number = {19}, urldate = {2021-06-07}, journal = {J Exp Bot}, author = {Martinez-Bello, L. and Moritz, T. and Lopez-Diaz, I.}, month = sep, year = {2015}, note = {Edition: 2015/06/21}, keywords = {*Gene Expression Regulation, Plant, Branching, Fruit/genetics/growth \& development/metabolism, GA 2-oxidases, Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental, Gene Silencing, Gibberellins/metabolism, Lycopersicon esculentum/*genetics/*growth \& development/metabolism, Mixed Function Oxygenases/*genetics/metabolism, Plant Proteins/*genetics/metabolism, Plant Stems/genetics/growth \& development/metabolism, Plants, Genetically Modified/genetics/growth \& development/metabolism, Sequence Analysis, DNA, gibberellins, parthenocarpy, silencing, tomato.}, pages = {5897--910}, }

However, this effect diminishes with time, suggesting that plants may cease growth following exposure to SDs due to a reduction in sensitivity to GAs. In order to validate and further explore the role of GAs in growth cessation, we perturbed GA biosynthesis or signalling in hybrid aspen plants by overexpressing AtGA20ox1, AtGA2ox2 and PttGID1.3 (encoding GA biosynthesis enzymes and a GA receptor). We found trees with elevated concentrations of bioactive GA, due to overexpression of AtGA20ox1, continued to grow in SD conditions and were insensitive to the level of FLOWERING LOCUS T2 (FT2) expression. As transgenic plants overexpressing the PttGID1.3 GA receptor responded in a wild-type (WT) manner to SD conditions, this insensitivity did not result from limited receptor availability. As high concentrations of bioactive GA during SD conditions were sufficient to sustain shoot elongation growth in hybrid aspen trees, independent of FT2 expression levels, we conclude elongation growth in trees is regulated by both GA- and long day-responsive pathways, similar to the regulation of flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana.}, language = {en}, number = {3}, urldate = {2021-08-31}, journal = {New Phytologist}, author = {Eriksson, Maria E. and Hoffman, Daniel and Kaduk, Mateusz and Mauriat, Mélanie and Moritz, Thomas}, year = {2015}, note = {\_eprint: https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/nph.13144}, keywords = {Flowering Locus T2 (FT2), Populus, gibberellins (GA), growth cessation, photoperiod}, pages = {1288--1295}, }

The metabolomic methodology is suitable for screening large cohorts of samples. Global metabolomics can be used for detecting changes of metabolite concentrations in samples of fluids such as CSF. Methodology Using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/TOFMS) and multivariate statistical modeling, we simultaneously studied the metabolome signature of ∼120 small metabolites in the CSF of patients with ALS, stratified according to hereditary disposition and clinical subtypes of ALS in relation to controls. Principal Findings The study is the first to report data validated over two sub-sets of ALS vs. control patients for a large set of metabolites analyzed by GC/TOFMS. We find that patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS) have a heterogeneous metabolite signature in the cerebrospinal fluid, in some patients being almost identical to controls. However, familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) without superoxide dismutase-1 gene (SOD1) mutation is less heterogeneous than SALS. The metabolome of the cerebrospinal fluid of 17 ALS patients with a SOD1 gene mutation was found to form a separate homogeneous group. Analysis of metabolites revealed that glutamate and glutamine were reduced, in particular in patients with a familial predisposition. There are significant differences in the metabolite profile and composition among patients with FALS, SALS and patients carrying a mutation in the SOD1 gene suggesting that the neurodegenerative process in different subtypes of ALS may be partially dissimilar. Conclusions/Significance Patients with a genetic predisposition to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have a more distinct and homogeneous signature than patients with a sporadic disease.}, language = {en}, number = {4}, urldate = {2021-06-08}, journal = {PLOS ONE}, author = {Wuolikainen, Anna and Moritz, Thomas and Marklund, Stefan L. and Antti, Henrik and Andersen, Peter Munch}, month = apr, year = {2011}, note = {Publisher: Public Library of Science}, keywords = {Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Cerebrospinal fluid, Drug metabolism, Glutamic acid, Metabolic analysis, Metabolites, Metabolomics, Mutation}, pages = {e17947}, }

By considering the full diversity of PGs, we may improve our ability to recognize genotypes or chemotype groups and enhance our understanding of their ecological function. Here, we present a fast and efficient general method for salicylate determination in leaves of Eurasian aspen that uses ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI/TOFMS). The time required for the liquid chromatography separations was 13.5 min per sample, compared to around 60 min per sample for most HPLC protocols. In leaf samples from identical P. tremula genotypes with diverse propagation and treatment histories, we identified nine PGs. We found the compound-specific mass chromatograms to be more informative than the UV-visible chromatograms for compound identification and when quantitating samples with large variability in PG content. Signature compounds previously reported for P. tremoloides (tremulacin, tremuloidin, salicin, and salicortin) always were present, and five PGs (2'-O-cinnamoyl-salicortin, 2'-O-acetyl-salicortin, 2'-O-acetyl-salicin, acetyl-tremulacin, and salicyloyl-salicin) were detected for the first time in P. tremula. By using information about the formic acid adduct that appeared for PGs in the LTQ-Orbitrap MS environment, novel compounds like acetyl-tremulacin could be tentatively identified without the use of standards. The novel PGs were consistently either present in genotypes regardless of propagation and damage treatment or were not detectable. In some genotypes, concentrations of 2'-O-acetyl-salicortin and 2'-O-cinnamoyl-salicortin were similar to levels of biologically active PGs in other Salicaceous trees. Our study suggests that we may expect a wide variation in PG content in aspen populations which is of interest both for studies of interactions with herbivores and for mapping population structure.

In total, 128 metabolites with significant differences between high- and low-CO2-grown cells were detected, of which 82 were wholly or partially identified, including amino acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. In a 24-h time course experiment, we show that the amino acids serine and phenylalanine increase transiently while aspartate and glutamate decrease after transfer to low CO2. The biggest differences were typically observed 3 h after transfer to low-CO2 conditions. Therefore, we made a careful metabolomic examination at the 3-h time point, comparing low-CO2 treatment to high-CO2 control. Five metabolites involved in photorespiration, 11 amino acids, and one lipid were increased, while six amino acids and, interestingly, 21 lipids were significantly lower. Our conclusion is that the metabolic pattern during early induction of the carbon-concentrating mechanism fit a model where photorespiration is increasing.}, language = {en}, number = {1}, urldate = {2021-06-08}, journal = {Plant Physiology}, author = {Renberg, Linda and Johansson, Annika I. and Shutova, Tatiana and Stenlund, Hans and Aksmann, Anna and Raven, John A. and Gardeström, Per and Moritz, Thomas and Samuelsson, Göran}, month = sep, year = {2010}, pages = {187--196}, }

In this species, growth cessation, cold acclimation and dormancy are induced in the autumn by the detection of day-length shortening that occurs at a given critical day length. Important components in the detection of such day-length changes are photoreceptors and the circadian clock, and many plant responses at both the gene regulation and metabolite levels are expected to be diurnal. To directly examine this expectation and study components in these events, here we report transcriptomic and metabolomic responses to a change in photoperiod from long to short days in hybrid aspen. We found about 16\% of genes represented on the arrays to be diurnally regulated, as assessed by our pre-defined criteria. Furthermore, several of these genes were involved in circadian-associated processes, including photosynthesis and primary and secondary metabolism. Metabolites affected by the change in photoperiod were mostly involved in carbon metabolism.

In the present study we examined the regulatory contribution of PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase) kinase 1, a negative regulator of PDH, to metabolic coupling in 832/13 clonal β-cells. Knockdown of PDH kinase 1 with siRNA (small interfering RNA) reduced its mRNA ({\textgreater}80\%) and protein level ({\textgreater}40\%) after 72 h. PDH activity, glucose-stimulated cellular oxygen consumption and pyruvate-stimulated mitochondrial oxygen consumption increased 1.7- (P{\textless}0.05), 1.6- (P{\textless}0.05) and 1.6-fold (P{\textless}0.05) respectively. Gas chromatography/MS revealed an altered metabolite profile upon silencing of PDH kinase 1, determined by increased levels of the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates malate, fumarate and α-ketoglutarate. These metabolic alterations were associated with exaggerated GSIS (5-fold compared with 3.1-fold in control cells; P{\textless}0.01). Insulin secretion, provoked by leucine and dimethylsuccinate, which feed into the tricarboxylic acid cycle bypassing PDH, was unaffected. The oxygen consumption and metabolic data strongly suggest that knockdown of PDH kinase 1 in β-cells permits increased metabolic flux of glucose-derived carbons into the tricarboxylic acid cycle via PDH. Enhanced insulin secretion is probably caused by increased generation of tricarboxylic acid cycle-derived reducing equivalents for mitochondrial electron transport to generate ATP and/or stimulatory metabolic intermediates. On the basis of these findings, we suggest that PDH kinase 1 is an important regulator of PDH in clonal β-cells and that PDH kinase 1 and PDH are important for efficient metabolic coupling. Maintaining low PDH kinase 1 expression/activity, keeping PDH in a dephosphorylated and active state, may be important for β-cells to achieve the metabolic flux rates necessary for maximal GSIS.}, language = {en}, number = {1}, urldate = {2021-06-08}, journal = {Biochemical Journal}, author = {Krus, Ulrika and Kotova, Olga and Spégel, Peter and Hallgard, Elna and Sharoyko, Vladimir V. and Vedin, Anna and Moritz, Thomas and Sugden, Mary C. and Koeck, Thomas and Mulder, Hindrik}, month = jul, year = {2010}, pages = {205--213}, }

High-resolution measurements of endogenous IAA concentrations in support of the gradient hypothesis are required to substantiate this hypothesis. Here, we introduce fluorescence-activated cell sorting of green fluorescent protein–marked cell types combined with highly sensitive mass spectrometry methods as a novel means for analyses of IAA distribution and metabolism at cellular resolution. Our results reveal the presence of IAA concentration gradients within the Arabidopsis thaliana root tip with a distinct maximum in the organizing quiescent center of the root apex. We also demonstrate that the root apex provides an important source of IAA and that cells of all types display a high synthesis capacity, suggesting a substantial contribution of local biosynthesis to auxin homeostasis in the root tip. Our results indicate that local biosynthesis and polar transport combine to produce auxin gradients and maxima in the root tip.}, language = {en}, number = {6}, urldate = {2021-06-08}, journal = {The Plant Cell}, author = {Petersson, Sara V. and Johansson, Annika I. and Kowalczyk, Mariusz and Makoveychuk, Alexander and Wang, Jean Y. and Moritz, Thomas and Grebe, Markus and Benfey, Philip N. and Sandberg, Göran and Ljung, Karin}, month = aug, year = {2009}, pages = {1659--1668}, }

Increased levels of bioactive GAs are known to induce xylogenesis and xylem fiber elongation in aspen. However, there is currently little information on the response pathway(s) that mediate GA effects on wood formation. Here we characterize an important element of the GA pathway in hybrid aspen: the GA receptor, GID1. Four orthologs of GID1 were identified in Populus tremula x P. tremuloides (PttGID1.1-1.4). These were functional when expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana, and appear to present a degree of sub-functionalization in hybrid aspen. PttGID1.1 and PttGID1.3 were over-expressed in independent lines of hybrid aspen using either the 35S promoter or a xylem-specific promoter (LMX5). The 35S:PttGID1 over-expressors shared several phenotypic traits previously described in 35S:AtGA20ox1 over-expressors, including rapid growth, increased elongation, and increased xylogenesis. However, their xylem fibers were not elongated, unlike those of 35S:AtGA20ox1 plants. Similar differences in the xylem fiber phenotype were observed when PttGID1.1, PttGID1.3 or AtGA20ox1 were expressed under the control of the LMX5 promoter, suggesting either that PttGID1.1 and PttGID1.3 play no role in fiber elongation or that GA homeostasis is strongly controlled when GA signaling is altered. Our data suggest that GAs are required in two distinct wood-formation processes that have tissue-specific signaling pathways: xylogenesis, as mediated by GA signaling in the cambium, and fiber elongation in the developing xylem.}, language = {eng}, number = {6}, journal = {The Plant Journal: For Cell and Molecular Biology}, author = {Mauriat, Mélanie and Moritz, Thomas}, month = jun, year = {2009}, pmid = {19228336}, keywords = {Amino Acid Sequence, Arabidopsis, Cloning, Molecular, Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic, Gene Expression Regulation, Plant, Gibberellins, Mixed Function Oxygenases, Molecular Sequence Data, Plant Proteins, Plants, Genetically Modified, Populus, Promoter Regions, Genetic, RNA, Plant, Receptors, Cell Surface, Sequence Alignment, Wood}, pages = {989--1003}, }

Here, we demonstrate that these manipulations also resulted in differences in root growth, with both transgenics being characterized by a dramatic reduction of root dry matter deposition and respiratory activity but opposite changes with respect to root area. A range of physiological, molecular, and biochemical experiments were carried out in order to determine whether changes in root morphology were due to altered metabolism within the root itself, alterations in the nature of the transformants' root exudation, consequences of alteration in the efficiency of photoassimilate delivery to the root, or a combination of these factors. Grafting experiments in which the transformants were reciprocally grafted to wild-type controls suggested that root length and area were determined by the aerial part of the plant but that biomass was not. Despite the transgenic roots displaying alteration in the expression of phytohormone-associated genes, evaluation of the levels of the hormones themselves revealed that, with the exception of gibberellins, they were largely unaltered. When taken together, these combined experiments suggest that root biomass and growth are retarded by root-specific alterations in metabolism and gibberellin contents.

In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the serrated leaf margins formed upon infection resemble the leaf phenotype of transgenic plants with ectopic expression of KNOTTED-like homeobox (KNOX) genes. Through transcript profiling, we demonstrate that class-I KNOX genes are transcribed in symptomatic leaves. Functional analysis revealed that BREVIPEDICELLUS/KNOTTED-LIKE1 and mainly SHOOT MERISTEMLESS were essential for the observed leaf dissection. However, these results also positioned the KNOX genes downstream in the signaling cascade triggered by R. fascians infection. The much faster activation of ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATOR5 and the establishment of homeostatic and feedback mechanisms to control cytokinin (CK) levels support the overrepresentation of this hormone in infected plants due to the secretion by the pathogen, thereby placing the CK response high up in the cascade. Hormone measurements show a net decrease of tested CKs, indicating either that secretion by the bacterium and degradation by the plant are in balance, or, as suggested by the strong reaction of 35S:CKX plants, that other CKs are at play. At early time points of the interaction, activation of gibberellin 2-oxidase presumably installs a local hormonal setting favorable for meristematic activity that provokes leaf serrations. The results are discussed in the context of symptom development, evasion of plant defense, and the establishment of a specific niche by R. fascians.}, language = {en}, number = {3}, urldate = {2021-06-10}, journal = {Plant Physiology}, author = {Depuydt, Stephen and Doležal, Karel and Van Lijsebettens, Mieke and Moritz, Thomas and Holsters, Marcelle and Vereecke, Danny}, month = mar, year = {2008}, pages = {1267--1281}, }

We identified gain- and loss-of-function alleles at the Arabidopsis thaliana REGULATOR OF AXILLARY MERISTEMS1 (RAX1) locus. RAX1 is encoded by the Myb-like transcription factor MYB37 and is an Arabidopsis homolog of the tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum) Blind gene. RAX1 is transiently expressed in a small central domain within the boundary zone separating shoot apical meristem and leaf primordia early in leaf primordium development. RAX1 genetically interacts with CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON (CUC) genes and is required for the expression of CUC2 in the RAX1 expression domain, suggesting that RAX1 acts through CUC2.

One of the main characteristics of TW, which distinguishes it from normal wood, is the formation of fibers with a thick inner gelatinous cell wall layer mainly composed of crystalline cellulose. Hence TW is enriched in cellulose, and deficient in lignin and hemicelluloses. An expressed sequence tag library made from TW-forming tissues in Populus tremula (L.) × tremuloides (Michx.) and data from transcript profiling using microarray and metabolite analysis were obtained during TW formation in Populus tremula (L.) in two growing seasons. The data were examined with the aim of identifying the genes responsible for the change in carbon (C) flow into various cell wall components, and the mechanisms important for the formation of the gelatinous cell wall layer (G-layer). A specific effort was made to identify carbohydrate-active enzymes with a putative function in cell wall biosynthesis. An increased C flux to cellulose was suggested by a higher abundance of sucrose synthase transcripts. However, genes related to the cellulose biosynthetic machinery were not generally affected, although the expression of secondary wall-specific CesA genes was modified in both directions. Other pathways for which the data suggested increased activity included lipid and glucosamine biosynthesis and the pectin degradation machinery. In addition, transcripts encoding fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins were particularly increased and found to lack true Arabidopsis orthologs. Major pathways for which the transcriptome and metabolome analysis suggested decreased activity were the pathway for C flux through guanosine 5���-diphosphate (GDP) sugars to mannans, the pentose phosphate pathway, lignin biosynthesis, and biosynthesis of cell wall matrix carbohydrates.

This dependency can be explained, at least partly, by GA regulation of the flower meristem identity gene LEAFY (LFY) and the flowering time gene SUPPRESSOR OF CONSTANS1. Although it is well established that GA4 is the active GA in the regulation of Arabidopsis shoot elongation, the identity of the GA responsible for the regulation of Arabidopsis flowering has not been established. Through a combination of GA quantifications and sensitivity assays, we show that GA4 is the active GA in the regulation of LFY transcription and Arabidopsis flowering time under short-day conditions. The levels of GA4 and sucrose increase dramatically in the shoot apex shortly before floral initiation, and the regulation of genes involved in GA metabolism suggests that this increase is possibly due to transport of GAs and sucrose from outside sources to the shoot apex. Our results demonstrate that in the dicot Arabidopsis, in contrast with the monocot Lolium temulentum, GA4 is the active GA in the regulation of both shoot elongation and flower initiation.}, number = {9}, urldate = {2024-10-07}, journal = {The Plant Cell}, author = {Eriksson, Sven and Böhlenius, Henrik and Moritz, Thomas and Nilsson, Ove}, month = sep, year = {2006}, pages = {2172--2181}, }

We have examined how GA biosynthesis was regulated in submerged plants. Therefore, cDNAs encoding GA-biosynthetic enzymes GA20-oxidase and GA3-oxidase, and the GA-deactivating enzyme GA2-oxidase were cloned from R. palustris and the kinetics of transcription of the corresponding genes was determined during a 24 h submergence period. The submergence-induced elongation response could be separated into several phases: (1) during the first phase of 4 h, petiole elongation was insensitive to GA; (2) from 4 to 6 h onward growth was limited by GA; and (3) from 15 h onward underwater elongation was dependent, but not limited by GA. Submergence induced an increase of GA 1 concentration, as well as enhanced transcript levels of RpGA3ox1. Exogenous abscisic acid repressed the transcript levels of RpGA20ox1 and RpGA3ox1 and thus inhibited the submergence-induced increase in GA(1).

Hierarchical multivariate curve resolution (H-MCR) was used to simultaneously resolve the GC-MS data into pure profiles, describing the relative metabolite concentrations between samples, for multivariate analysis. Here, we present an extension of the H-MCR method allowing treatment of independent samples according to processing parameters estimated from a set of training samples. Predictions or inclusion of the new samples, based on their metabolite profiles, into an existing model could then be carried out, which is a requirement for a working application within, e. g., clinical diagnosis. Apart from allowing treatment and prediction of independent samples the proposed method also reduces the time for the curve resolution process since only a subset of representative samples have to be processed while the remaining samples can be treated according to the obtained processing parameters. The time required for resolving the 30 training samples in the rat urine example was approximately 13 h, while the treatment of the 30 test samples according to the training parameters required only approximately 30 s per sample ( similar to 15 min in total). In addition, the presented results show that the suggested approach works for describing metabolic changes in different biofluids, indicating that this is a general approach for high-throughput predictive metabolite profiling, which could have important applications in areas such as plant functional genomics, drug toxicity, treatment efficacy and early disease diagnosis.}, language = {English}, number = {6}, journal = {Journal of Proteome Research}, author = {Jonsson, Par and Johansson, Elin Sjovik and Wuolikainen, Anna and Lindberg, Johan and Schuppe-Koistinen, Ina and Kusano, Miyako and Sjostrom, Michael and Trygg, Johan and Moritz, Thomas and Antti, Henrik}, month = jun, year = {2006}, note = {Place: Washington Publisher: Amer Chemical Soc WOS:000237973400012}, keywords = {chemometrics, chromatography, clinical diagnosis, components, curve resolution, design, gc-ms, genomics, h-mcr, high-throughput, identifying differences, metabolic profiling, metabolomics, metabonomics, o-pls, projections, samples, strategy}, pages = {1407--1414}, }

We show that transmitted signals in the grass Lolium temulentum may include gibberellins ( GAs) and the FLOWERING LOCUS T ( FT) gene. Within 2 h of starting a florally inductive long day ( LD), expression of a 20-oxidase GA biosynthetic gene increases in the leaf; its product, GA 20, then increases 5.7-fold versus short day; its substrate, GA 19, decreases equivalently; and a bioactive product, GA 5, increases 4-fold. A link between flowering, LD, GAs, and GA biosynthesis is shown in three ways: ( 1) applied GA 19 became florigenic on exposure to LD; ( 2) expression of LtGA20ox1, an important GA biosynthetic gene, increased in a florally effective LD involving incandescent lamps, but not with noninductive fluorescent lamps; and ( 3) paclobutrazol, an inhibitor of an early step of GA biosynthesis, blocked flowering, but only if applied before the LD. Expression studies of a 2-oxidase catabolic gene showed no changes favoring a GA increase. Thus, the early LD increase in leaf GA 5 biosynthesis, coupled with subsequent doubling in GA 5 content at the shoot apex, provides a substantial trail of evidence for GA 5 as a LD florigen. LD signaling may also involve transport of FT mRNA or protein because expression of LtFT and LtCONSTANS increased rapidly, substantially ({\textgreater} 80-fold for FT), and independently of GA. However, because a LD from fluorescent lamps induced LtFT expression but not flowering, the nature of the light response of FT requires clarification.}, language = {English}, number = {2}, journal = {Plant Physiology}, author = {King, Rod W. and Moritz, Thomas and Evans, Lloyd T. and Martin, Jerome and Andersen, Claus H. and Blundell, Cheryl and Kardailsky, Igor and Chandler, Peter M.}, month = jun, year = {2006}, note = {Place: Rockville Publisher: Amer Soc Plant Biologists WOS:000238168800025}, keywords = {20-oxidase, biosynthesis, expression, in-vitro, inflorescence initiation, metabolism, molecular-cloning, photoperiod, shoot apices, stem elongation}, pages = {498--507}, }

The suggested approach addresses two cases commonly occurring within metabonomic toxicology studies, namely; 1) A pre-defined hypothesis about the biological mechanism exists and 2) No such hypothesis exists. GC/MS data from a liver toxicity study consisting of rat urine from control rats and rats exposed to a proprietary AstraZeneca compound were resolved by means of hierarchical multivariate curve resolution (H-MCR) generating 287 resolved chromatographic profiles with corresponding mass spectra. Filtering according to significance in relation to drug exposure rendered in 210 compound profiles, which were subjected to further statistical analysis following correction to account for the control variation over time. These dose related metabolite traces were then used as new observations in the subsequent analyses. For case 1, a multivariate approach, named Target Batch Analysis, based on OPLS regression was applied to correlate all metabolite traces to one or more key metabolites involved in the pre-defined hypothesis. For case 2, principal component analysis (PCA) was combined with hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) to create a robust and interpretable framework for unbiased mechanistic screening. Both the Target Batch Analysis and the unbiased approach were cross-verified using the other method to ensure that the results did match in terms of detected metabolite traces. This was also the case, implying that this is a working concept for clustering of metabolites in relation to their toxicity induced dynamic profiles regardless if there is a pre-existing hypothesis or not. For each of the methods the detected metabolites were subjected to identification by means of data base comparison as well as verification in the raw data.

We have used transgenic ethylene-insensitive birches (Betula pendula), which express the Arabidopsis ethylene receptor gene ETR1 carrying the dominant mutation etr1-1, to investigate the role of ethylene in SD-induced responses in the shoot apical meristem (SAM). Under SD, the ethylene-insensitive trees ceased elongation growth comparably to the wild-type. In contrast, the formation of terminal buds, which in trees is typically induced by SD, was abolished. However, although delayed, endo-dormancy did eventually develop in the ethylene-insensitive trees. This, together with the rapid resumption of growth in the ethylene-insensitive trees after transfer from non-permissive to permissive conditions suggests that ethylene facilitates the SD-induced terminal bud formation, as well as growth arrest. In addition, apical buds of the ethylene-insensitive birch did not accumulate abscisic acid (ABA) under SD, suggesting interaction between ethylene and ABA signalling in the bud. Alterations in SAM functioning were further exemplified by reduced apical dominance and early flowering in ethylene-insensitive birches. Gene expression analysis of shoot apices revealed that the ethylene-insensitive birch lacked the marked increase in expression of a beta-xylosidase gene typical to the SD-exposed wild-type. The ethylene-dependent beta-xylosidase gene expression is hypothesized to relate to modification of cell walls in terminal buds during SD-induced growth cessation.

However, to be able to create robust and interpretable (transparent) multivariate models for the comparison of many samples, the data must fulfil certain specific criteria: (i) that each sample is characterized by the same number of variables, (ii) that each of these variables is represented across all observations, and (iii) that a variable in one sample has the same biological meaning or represents the same metabolite in all other samples. In addition, the obtained models must have the ability to make predictions of, e.g. related and independent samples characterized accordingly to the model samples. This method involves the construction of a representative data set, including automatic peak detection, alignment, setting of retention time windows, summing in the chromatographic dimension and data compression by means of alternating regression, where the relevant metabolic variation is retained for further modelling using multivariate analysis. This approach has the advantage of allowing the comparison of large numbers of samples based on their LC/MS metabolic profiles, but also of creating a means for the interpretation of the investigated biological system. This includes finding relevant systematic patterns among samples, identifying influential variables, verifying the findings in the raw data, and finally using the models for predictions.

A widely used tool in metabolomics investigations is gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC/MS). More than 400 compounds can be detected in a single analysis, if overlapping GC/MS peaks are deconvoluted. However, the deconvolution process is time-consuming and difficult to automate, and additional processing is needed in order to compare samples. Therefore, there is a need to improve and automate the data processing strategy for data generated in GC/MS-based metabolomics; if not, the processing step will be a major bottleneck for high-throughput analyses. Here we describe a new semiautomated strategy using a hierarchical multivariate curve resolution approach that processes all samples simultaneously. The presented strategy generates (after appropriate treatment, e.g., multivariate analysis) tables of all the detected metabolites that differ in relative concentrations between samples. The processing of 70 samples took similar time to that of the GC/TOFMS analyses of the samples. The strategy has been validated using two different sets of samples: a complex mixture of standard compounds and Arabidopsis samples.}, number = {17}, urldate = {2021-06-11}, journal = {Analytical Chemistry}, author = {Jonsson, Pär and Johansson, Annika I. and Gullberg, Jonas and Trygg, Johan and A, Jiye and Grung, Bjørn and Marklund, Stefan and Sjöström, Michael and Antti, Henrik and Moritz, Thomas}, month = sep, year = {2005}, note = {Publisher: American Chemical Society}, pages = {5635--5642}, }

In an attempt to identify where GAs are formed, we have analyzed the expression patterns of six GA biosynthesis genes and two genes with predicted roles in GA signaling and responses in relation to measured levels of GAs. The analysis was based on tangential sections, giving tissue-specific resolution across the cambial region of aspen trees (Populus tremula). Gibberellin quantification by GC/MS-SRM showed that the bioactive GA1 and GA4 were predominantly located in the zone of expansion of xylem cells. Based on co-localization of the expression of the late GA biosynthesis gene GA 20-oxidase 1 and bioactive GAs, we suggest that de novo GA biosynthesis occurs in the expanding xylem. However, expression levels of the first committed GA biosynthesis enzyme, ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase, were high in the phloem, suggesting that a GA precursor(s) may be transported to the xylem. The expression of the GA signaling and response genes DELLA-like1 and GIP-like1 coincided well with sites of high bioactive GA levels. We therefore suggest that the main role of GA during wood formation is to regulate early stages of xylem differentiation, including cell elongation.}, language = {en}, number = {3}, urldate = {2021-06-11}, journal = {The Plant Journal}, author = {Israelsson, Maria and Sundberg, Björn and Moritz, Thomas}, year = {2005}, note = {\_eprint: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1365-313X.2005.02547.x}, keywords = {DELLA, Populus, fiber, gibberellin-biosynthetic genes, gibberellins, wood formation}, pages = {494--504}, }

To avoid having to deconvolute all analyzed samples prior to multivariate analysis of the data, we have developed a strategy for rapid comparison of nonprocessed MS data files. The method includes baseline correction, alignment, time window determinations, alternating regression, PLS-DA, and identification of retention time windows in the chromatograms that explain the differences between the samples. Use of alternating regression also gives interpretable loadings, which retain the information provided by m/z values that vary between the samples in each retention time window. The method has been applied to plant extracts derived from leaves of different developmental stages and plants subjected to small changes in day length. The data show that the new method can detect differences between the samples and that it gives results comparable to those obtained when deconvolution is applied prior to the multivariate analysis.

The level of bioactive GAs is increased in immature seeds of lec2 and fus3 mutants relative to wild-type level. In addition, we show that the formation of ectopic trichome cells on lec2 and fus3 embryos is a GA-dependent process as in true leaves, suggesting that the GA pathway is misactivated in embryonic mutants. We next demonstrate that the GA-biosynthesis gene AtGA3ox2, which encodes the key enzyme AtGA3ox2 that catalyzes the conversion of inactive to bioactive GAs, is ectopically activated in embryos of the two mutants. Interestingly, both β-glucuronidase reporter gene expression and in situ hybridization indicate that FUS3 represses AtGA3ox2 expression mainly in epidermal cells of embryo axis, which is distinct from AtGA3ox2 pattern at germination. Finally, we show that the FUS3 protein physically interacts with two RY elements (CATGCATG) present in the AtGA3ox2 promoter.

We describe the cloning of a hybrid aspen GA3ox and its functional characterization, which confirmed that it has 3β-hydroxylation activity and more efficiently converts GA9 to GA4 than GA20 to GA1. To complement previous studies, in which transgenic GA 20-oxidase (GA20ox) overexpressers were found to produce 20-fold higher bioactive GA levels and subsequently grew faster than wild-type plants, we overexpressed an Arabidopsis GA3ox in hybrid aspen. The generated GA3ox overexpresser lines had increased 3β-hydroxylation activity but exhibited no major changes in morphology. The nearly unaltered growth pattern was associated with relatively small changes in GA1 and GA4 levels, although tissue-dependent differences were observed. The absence of increases in bioactive GA levels did not appear to be due to feedback or feed-forward regulation of dioxygenase transcripts, according to semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis of PttGA20ox1, PttGA3ox1, and two putative PttGA2ox genes. We conclude that 20-oxidation is the limiting step, rather than 3β-hydroxylation, in the formation of GA1 and GA4 in elongating shoots of hybrid aspen, and that ectopic GA3ox expression alone cannot increase the flux toward bioactive GAs.

The method was applied to members of the plant hormone group cytokinins, which includes adenine bases, ribosides/glycosides, and nucleotides substituted at N-6 with an isoprenoid side chain, spanning a wide range of polarity. It was also used to analyze other compounds of biological importance, e.g., the nucleotides AMP, ADP, and ATP. The formation of more hydrophobic derivatives had a significant impact on two aspects of the analysis. The retention on a reversed-phase material was greatly increased without the use of any acetate/formate buffer or ion pairing reagent, and the ESI response was enhanced, due to the higher surface activities of the derivatives. Detection limits of propionylated cytokinins were in the high-attomole to low-femtomole range, an improvement by factors of 10−100 compared to previously reported figures. Using an automated SPE-based purification method, 12 endogenous cytokinins were quantified in extracts from 20- to 100-mg samples of leaves (from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana) with high accuracy and precision. Furthermore, the chromatographic properties of the benzoylated AMP, ADP, and ATP in the reversed-phase LC−MS system were much better in terms of retention, separation, and sensitivity than those of their underivatized counterparts, even without the use of any ion pairing reagent.

We made a detailed study of this differential growth process, encompassing the complete range of the known signal transduction pathway: from the cellular localization of differential growth, to the hormonal regulation, and the possible involvement of a cell wall loosening protein (expansin) as a downstream target. We show that hyponastic growth is caused by differential cell elongation across the petiole base, with cells on the abaxial (lower) surface elongating faster than cells on the adaxial (upper) surface. Pharmacological studies and endogenous hormone measurements revealed that ethylene, auxin, abscisic acid (ABA), and gibberellin regulate different and sometimes overlapping stages of hyponastic growth. Initiation of hyponastic growth and (maintenance of) the maximum petiole angle are regulated by ethylene, ABA, and auxin, whereas the speed of the response is influenced by ethylene, ABA, and gibberellin. We found that a submergence-induced differential redistribution of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid in the petiole base could play a role in maintenance of the response, but not in the onset of hyponastic growth. Since submergence does not induce a differential expression of expansins across the petiole base, it is unlikely that this cell wall loosening protein is the downstream target for the hormones that regulate the differential cell elongation leading to submergence-induced hyponastic growth in R. palustris.}, number = {2}, urldate = {2021-06-15}, journal = {Plant Physiology}, author = {Cox, Marjolein C.H. and Benschop, Joris J. and Vreeburg, Robert A.M. and Wagemaker, Cornelis A.M. and Moritz, Thomas and Peeters, Anton J.M. and Voesenek, Laurentius A.C.J.}, month = oct, year = {2004}, pages = {2948--2960}, }

Clones were isolated from leaf and cambium cDNA libraries using probes generated by polymerase chain reaction, based on conserved domains of GA 20-oxidases.

Recessive, presumed loss-of-function alleles of GAI confer normal height and resistance to the GA biosynthesis inhibitor paclobutrazol.

This takes place at the later part of the growing season when cambial cell division declines. To gain new insight into the regulation of this process, micro-analytical techniques were used to visualize the distribution of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), soluble carbohydrates, and activities of sucrose (Suc)-metabolizing enzymes across the cambial region tissues in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). The total amount of IAA in the cambial region did not change with latewood initiation. But its radial distribution pattern was altered, resulting in an increased concentration in the cambial meristem and its recent derivatives. Thus, initiation of latewood formation and cessation of cambial cell division is not a consequence of decreased IAA concentrations in dividing and expanding cells. Rather, IAA most likely has a role in defining the altered developmental pattern associated with latewood formation. Carbohydrates and enzyme activities showed distinctive radial distribution patterns. Suc peaked in the phloem and decreased sharply to low levels across the cambial zone, whereas fructose and glucose reached their highest levels in the maturing tracheids. Suc synthase was the dominating Suc cleaving enzyme with a peak in the secondary wall-forming tracheids and in the phloem. Soluble acid invertase peaked in dividing and expanding cells. Suc-phosphate synthase had its highest activities in the phloem. Activities of cell wall bound invertase were low. The absence of major seasonal variations indicates that carbohydrate availability is not a trigger for latewood initiation.

We have investigated the relationships between gibberellins (GAs), these GAMYB-like genes, and petiole elongation and flowering of Arabidopsis. Within 1 to 2 d of transferring plants from short- to long-day photoperiods, growth rate and erectness of petioles increased, and there were morphological changes at the shoot apex associated with the transition to flowering. These responses were accompanied by accumulation of GAs in the petioles (GA1 by 11-fold and GA4 by 3-fold), and an increase in expression of AtMYB33 at the shoot apex. Inhibition of GA biosynthesis using paclobutrazol blocked the petiole elongation induced by long days. Causality was suggested by the finding that, with GA treatment, plants flowered in short days, AtMYB33 expression increased at the shoot apex, and the petioles elongated and grew erect. That AtMYB33 may mediate a GA signaling role in flowering was supported by its ability to bind to a specific 8-bp sequence in the promoter of the floral meristem-identity gene, LEAFY, this same sequence being important in the GA response of the LEAFY promoter. One or more of these AtMYB genes may also play a role in the root tip during germination and, later, in stem tissue. These findings extend our earlier studies of GA signaling in the Gramineae to include a dicot species, Arabidopsis, and indicate that GAMYB-like genes may mediate GA signaling in growth and flowering responses.}, number = {4}, urldate = {2021-11-02}, journal = {Plant Physiology}, author = {Gocal, Gregory F.W. and Sheldon, Candice C. and Gubler, Frank and Moritz, Thomas and Bagnall, David J. and MacMillan, Colleen P. and Li, Song F. and Parish, Roger W. and Dennis, Elizabeth S. and Weigel, Detlef and King, Rod W.}, month = dec, year = {2001}, pmid = {11743113}, pmcid = {PMC133573}, pages = {1682--1693}, }

Here we test the hypothesis that GAI and RGA function as “GA-derepressible repressors” of plant growth. One prediction of this hypothesis is that plants lacking GAI and RGA do not require GA for normal stem growth. Analysis of GA-deficient mutants lacking GAI and RGA confirms this prediction and suggests that in the absence of GAI and RGA, “growth” rather than “no growth” is the default state of plant stems. The function of the GA-signaling system is thus to act as a control system regulating the amount of this growth. We also demonstrate that the GA dose dependency of hypocotyl elongation is altered in mutants lacking GAI and RGA and propose that increments in GAI/RGA repressor function can explain the quantitative nature of GA responses.}, number = {2}, urldate = {2021-11-02}, journal = {Genetics}, author = {King, Kathryn E and Moritz, Thomas and Harberd, Nicholas P}, month = oct, year = {2001}, pages = {767--776}, }

Using sensitive and specific gas chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques, we have followed changes in gibberellins (GAs) at the shoot apex during long day (LD)-regulated induction of flowering in the grass Lolium temulentum. Two separate roles of GAs in flowering are indicated. First, within 8 h of an inductive LD, i.e. at the time of floral evocation, the GA5 content of the shoot apex doubled to about 120 ng g−1 dry weight. The concentration of applied GA5 required for floral induction of excised apices (R.W. King, C. Blundell, L.T. Evans [1993] Aust J Plant Physiol 20: 337–348) was similar to that in the shoot apex. Leaf-applied [2H4] GA5 was transported intact from the leaf to the shoot apex, flowering being proportional to the amount of GA5 imported. Thus, GA5 could be part of the LD stimulus for floral evocation of L. temulentum or, alternatively, its increase at the shoot apex could follow import of a primary floral stimulus. Later, during inflorescence differentiation and especially after exposure to additional LD, a second GA action was apparent. The content of GA1 and GA4 in the apex increased greatly, whereas GA5 decreased by up to 75\%. GA4 applied during inflorescence differentiation strongly promoted flowering and stem elongation, whereas it was ineffective for earlier floral evocation although it caused stem growth at all times of application. Thus, we conclude that GA1 and GA4 are secondary, late-acting LD stimuli for inflorescence differentiation in L. temulentum.}, number = {2}, urldate = {2021-11-02}, journal = {Plant Physiology}, author = {King, Rod W. and Moritz, Thomas and Evans, Lloyd T. and Junttila, Olavi and Herlt, Anthony J.}, month = oct, year = {2001}, pmid = {11598236}, pmcid = {PMC125097}, pages = {624--632}, }

Transgenic, cytokinin-overproducing Arabidopsis thaliana plants were incubated in liquid culture media enriched with 30\% deuterium oxide, and incorporation into the different parts of the cytokinin molecule was analysed by capillary liquid chromatography/frit-fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry after precolumn propionylation. The sugar moieties of the cytokinins generally showed a high and independent incorporation, so the analysis in this study focused on the cytokinin base moieties. It was observed that during a 24 h incubation period almost all labelling was incorporated into the side-chain, rather than the adenine moiety. The incorporation dynamics of isopentenyladenosine-5′-monophosphate, zeatinriboside-5′-monophosphate (ZRMP) and zeatin-9-glucoside were investigated through analysis of the cytokinin base fragments in high-resolution selective ion monitoring mode. Using a fractional synthetic rate approach, the biosynthetic rate of ZRMP was determined to be 18 ng h−1 g−1 fresh weight, giving a turnover time of 25 h. A method for the mass isotopomer abundance analysis of the cytokinins in the zeatin family, based on selective reaction monitoring, was also developed to gain further sensitivity. Use of this technique showed that there was a higher level of enrichment in zeatin nucleotide than in the corresponding nucleoside, in agreement with the hypothesis that cytokinin nucleotides are primary products in this pathway.

Thus IAA levels in the cross were much lower throughout vegetative development than in the parental IAA overproducing line, although expression of the bacterial IAA biosynthesis genes was not reduced. The results suggest that effects on apical dominance, adventitious root formation, leaf morphology and other traits commonly ± associated with IAA and cytokinin overproduction, and observed in the iaaËipt cross, cannot be explained solely by analysis of auxin and cytokinin contents in individual organs.

In agreement with this observation, the level of active GAs was elevated in shi plants, which is the result expected when feedback control of GA biosynthesis is reduced. Cloning of the SHI gene revealed that in shi, the transposon is inserted into the untranslated leader so that a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter in the transposon reads out toward the SHI open reading frame. This result, together with mRNA analysis, suggests that the phenotype of the shi mutant is a result of overexpression of the SHI open reading frame.

This timing is primarily based on the perception of daylength, and through evolution many tree species have developed photoperiodic ecotypes which are closely adapted to the local light conditions. The longest photoperiod inducing growth cessation, the critical photoperiod, is inherited as a quantitative character. The phytochrome pigment family is the probable receptor of daylength, but the exact role of phytochrome and the physiological basis for the different responses between photoperiodic ecotypes are not known. This report shows for the first time that over-expression of the oat phytochrome A gene (PHYA) in a tree significantly changes the critical daylength and effectively prevents cold acclimatization. While the critical daylength for elongation growth in the wild-type of hybrid aspen (Populus tremula × tremuloides) was approximately 15 h, transgenic lines with a strong expression of the oat PHYA gene did not stop growing even under a photoperiod of 6 h. Quantitative analysis of gibberellins (GA) as well as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) revealed that levels of these were not down-regulated under short days in the transgenic plants expressing high levels of oat PHYA, as in the wild-type.

In woody plants cessation of apical growth is a prerequisite for cold acclimation (Weiser, 1970) and photoperiod, as a factor controlling growth cessation, is therefore an important environmental signal for initiation of cold acclimation. In many cases a proper timing of acclimation and deacclimation, in respect to annual variation of temperature conditions, is more critical for winter survival than the maximum level of frost hardiness. Also in such coniferous species where cessation of apical growth is not controlled by photoperiod, short photoperiod is necessary for good cold acclimation, low temperature causes no or only a limited level of hardiness if combined with long day conditions (Schwarz, 1970; Aronsson, 1975; Christersson, 1978; Jonsson et al., 1981).

Min grupp studerar hur växthormoner och andra metaboliter reglerar tillväxt och utveckling i träd. Vi studerar framförallt hormonet gibberellin och dess roll i skottsträckning och vedbildning.
Vi har visat att genom att öka mängden gibberelliner i hybridasp så får man träd som i växthus uppvisar ökad höjd- och diametertillväxt. En upptäckt som kan få betydelse även ur ett prakiskt perspektiv.
I ett flertal projekt använder vi även metodik som kallas metabolomik för att kunna identifiera ämnen som är kopplade till trädets olika utvecklingsfaser. Fokus är framförallt mot hur olika metaboliter varierar i vedbildningszonen och deras function under vedbildningens olika faser.
