Endoreplication and its consequences in the suspensor of Pisum sativum.
Plant Cell Reports 2018 December
KEY MESSAGE: DNA replication and continuous process of transcription during ongoing amitotic division accelerate the development of four-celled pea suspensor containing nuclei which create transient gradient of polyploidy necessary for correct embryo development. A suspensor, the link between embryo proper and surrounding tissues, differs significantly in size, morphology, and degree of polyploidy among the species. The suspensor of Pisum sativum consists of four polynuclear cells (two hemispherical and two elongated) formed in two layers. Their nuclei undergo endoreplication reaching, respectively, up to 256C and 128-256C DNA levels in its hemispherical and elongated parts. Our study shows that endoreplication first appears in the spherical part of the suspensor, and, subsequently, in the elongated one. At the next stages of suspensor development, the increase in DNA content takes place also in a similar order. Thus, despite simple construction of the suspensor, its development, supported by endoreplication, creates a certain gradient of polyploidy, which occurs in more extensive suspensors. Moreover, the rapid development of suspensor is supported both by the initiation of DNA replication prior to the completion of amitotic division of its polyploidal nuclei and by a continuous process of transcription, which is silenced by chromatin condensation throughout mitosis. Furthermore, the increase in DNA content correlates with the greater amount of transcripts; however, the multiplication of DNA copies does not entail an increase (but fluctuation) in the mean transcriptional activity of a particular nucleus during the next stages of suspensor development.
