Compartmentation of photosynthesis gene expression in C(4) maize depends on time of day
Compared with the ancestral C(3) state, C(4) photosynthesis occurs at higher rates with improved water and nitrogen use efficiencies. In both C(3) and C(4) plants, rates of photosynthesis increase with light intensity and are maximal around midday. We determined that in the absence of light or tempe...

description | Compared with the ancestral C(3) state, C(4) photosynthesis occurs at higher rates with improved water and nitrogen use efficiencies. In both C(3) and C(4) plants, rates of photosynthesis increase with light intensity and are maximal around midday. We determined that in the absence of light or temperature fluctuations, photosynthesis in maize (Zea mays) peaks in the middle of the subjective photoperiod. To investigate the molecular processes associated with these temporal changes, we performed RNA sequencing of maize mesophyll and bundle sheath strands over a 24-h time course. Preferential expression of C(4) cycle genes in these cell types was strongest between 6 and 10 h after dawn when rates of photosynthesis were highest. For the bundle sheath, DNA motif enrichment and gene coexpression analyses suggested members of the DNA binding with one finger (DOF) and MADS (MINICHROMOSOME MAINTENANCE FACTOR 1/AGAMOUS/DEFICIENS/Serum Response Factor)-domain transcription factor families mediate diurnal fluctuations in C(4) gene expression, while trans-activation assays in planta confirmed their ability to activate promoter fragments from bundle sheath expressed genes. The work thus identifies transcriptional regulators and peaks in cell-specific C(4) gene expression coincident with maximum rates of photosynthesis in the maize leaf at midday. |
