Gene expression ATLAS of Arabidopsis thaliana (accession Columbia) across its lifecycle
<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Arabidopsis thaliana (accession- Columbia) is an important model plant. RNA-Seq based study of 36 gene expression libraries was carried out to explore transcriptional programs operating in different plant parts (seedling, rosette, root, inflorescence, flower, fruit silique, and seed) and developmental stages (2-leaf stage, 6-leaf stage, 12-leaf stage, senescence stage, dry mature and imbibed seed stage). For each tissue type and developmental stage, three individual plants were used as biological replicates.</p> <div><strong><span>Organism part: </span></strong><span>inflorescence, whole plant, seed, root, silique fruit, flower, rosette</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span><strong>Developmental stage:</strong> </span><span>LP.02 two leaves visible stage, IL.00 inflorescence just visible stage, fruit size 30 to 50% stage, LP.12 twelve leaves visible stage, root development stage, fruit size 70% to final stage, LP.06 six leaves visible stage, dry seed stage, flowering stage, seed imbibition stage, sporophyte senescent stage, inflorescence development stage</span></div> <div> </div> <div> <div><strong><span>Organism: </span></strong><span>Arabidopsis thaliana</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span><strong>Ecotype:</strong> </span><span>Col-0</span></div> <div> </div> <div><strong><span>Genotype: </span></strong><span>wild type genotype</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span><strong>Age:</strong> Samples are from </span><span>20-day, 49-day, 39-day, 15-day, 21-day, 9-day, 22-day, 55-day, 26-day, 45-day</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span><strong><span>Experimental Designs: </span></strong><span>growth chamber study<a title="" href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/efo/terms?iri=http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/EO_0007269" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> EFO</a></span>, <span>development or differentiation design<a title="" href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/efo/terms?iri=http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/EFO_0001746" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> EFO</a></span>, <span>organism part comparison design<a title="" href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/efo/terms?iri=http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/EFO_0001750" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> EFO</a></span></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span>For more description of the data and sample types see the file <a href="../api/records/11133989/draft/files/PRJEB24664_Sample_descriptors.xlsx/content" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PRJEB24664_Sample_descriptors.xlsx or visit </a> or visit <a href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/arrayexpress/studies/E-MTAB-6422/sdrf">https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/arrayexpress/studies/E-MTAB-6422/sdrf</a></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span>Original data was submitted from </span></div> <div> <ul> <li><span>EMBL-EBI ArraExpress: <a href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/arrayexpress/studies/E-MTAB-6422">https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/arrayexpress/studies/E-MTAB-6422</a></span></li> <li><span>NCBI SRA: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJEB24664">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJEB24664</a></span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span>Protocol description:</span></strong></p> <table> <tbody><tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Type</th> <th>Description</th> <th>Hardware</th> </tr> </tbody><tbody> <tr> <td>P-MTAB-71349</td> <td><span>growth protocol<a title="" href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols4/ontologies/efo/terms?iri=http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/EFO_0003789" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> EFO</a></span></td> <td>Seeds were planted in pots containing commercial potting mix with fertilizers.

The proximity interactome of the peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae) cathepsin B in Arabidopsis thaliana
<p><strong>Introduction</strong></p> <p>In agriculture, the peach-potato aphid <em>Myzus persicae</em> (Sulzer) has one of the broadest host ranges among insects and cause devastating crop losses worldwide (CABI, 2022). They are highly adaptable, displaying a wide range of plastic responses to environmental cues, including the ability to develop as either winged or wingless forms and to reproduce through either asexual or sexual means (Brisson, 2010; Ogawa and Miura, 2014; Grantham and Brisson, 2018). Remarkably, <em>M. persicae </em>differentially regulate the transcription of certain gene clusters to facilitate colonization of diverse plant species (Mathers et al., 2017; Chen et al., 2020). Among these gene clusters are members of the cysteine protease family, cathepsin B (CathB).</p> <p>Host responsive CathB genes are organized in tandemly repeated clusters in the <em>M. persicae</em> genome and belong to a recently expanded clade in phylogeny (Mathers et al., 2017). They are upregulated when aphids feed on <em>Arabidopsis thaliana </em>and <em>Brassica rapa</em> and knock down of their expression using RNA interference reduces aphid reproduction on <em>A. thaliana </em>(Chen et al., 2020). Intriguingly, peptides corresponding to CathB proteins are detected in <em>M. persicae</em> oral secretion (OS), indicating that at least some CathB proteins are directly delivered into plant cells during aphid feeding (Guo et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2024).</p> <p>Among <em>M. persicae</em> CathB proteins, CathB6 is most highly expressed in aphids on <em>A. thaliana</em> (Chen et al., 2020) and most abundant in <em>M. persicae</em> OS (Liu et al., 2024). To identify the potential plant targets of <em>M. persicae</em> CathB, we optimized the TurboID-based proximity labelling and MS (PL-MS) protocol (Fig. 1).</p> <p>As a first step, we generated stable transgenic <em>A. thaliana</em> lines producing GFP or CathB6 as C-terminal TurboID-3×FLAG fusions (GFP-TurboID or CathB6-TurboID). Seedlings of these plants were treated with biotin followed by affinity capture with streptavidin beads (Fig. 2A). Enrichment of biotinylated proteins was confirmed by western blotting (Fig. 2B), followed by nanoLC-MS/MS analyses.</p> <p>Principal component analysis (PCA) of the MS data showed that the three CathB6-TurboID samples were grouped together, separately from three GFP-TurboID samples (Fig. 2C). Furthermore, MA plot confirmed that the CathB6-TurboID and GFP-TurboID samples are distinct (Fig. 2D). From the complete dataset, 267 <em>A. thaliana</em> proteins exhibited statistically significant enrichment (<em>p</em>-value < 0.05) of more than 2-fold and were consistently identified in at least two replicates of the CathB6-TurboID samples compared to the GFP-TurboID controls (Fig. 2E, Table 1). This compares to 223 proteins in the GFP-TurboID samples versus CathB6-TurboID samples (Fig. 2E, Table 1). Additionally, we identified 20 unique peptides corresponding to CathB6 in the CathB6-TurboID samples and 19 unique peptides corresponding to GFP in the GFP-TurboID samples (Table 1). These data suggest that this PL-MS protocol worked dnd identified genuine interactors of CathB6.</p> <p>Together, this dataset identifies 267 potential plant interactors of aphid CathB6, which may contribute to CathB6 modulation of <em>A. thaliana</em> plant for colonization. Further mechanistic studies should be done to characterize if these potential interactors are involved and how the relevant pathways are affected after CathB delivery through aphid feeding.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods</strong></p> <p><em>Plasmid construction</em></p> <p>For the construction of plasmids producing CathB6-TurboID-3×FLAG, the coding sequences corresponding to the catalytic domain (without signal peptide and prodomain regions) of CathB6 (Arg61-Asn338) and TurboID-3×FLAG were separately amplified. Then, the two fragments were connected using overlap PCR (Nelson and Fitch, 2011). After cloning of the sequence corresponding to the CathB6-TurboID-3×FLAG fragment into the pJET vector and sequencing, CathB6-TurboID-3×FLAG was amplified with primers containing <em>attB</em> extensions and cloned into the pDONOR207 vector, followed by the ligation to Gateway destination vector pB7WG2 containing a 35S promoter. Similar cloning methods were used for construction of GFP-TurboID-3×FLAG.</p> <p><em>Plant transformation</em></p> <p>The constructed plasmids were introduced into <em>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</em> strain GV3101, and the cultures were grown on plates at 28 °C for 24–48 hrs. Then, positive colonies were identified via PCR using plasmids extracted from overnight liquid cultures and gene-specific primers. Positive colonies were grown at 28 °C in liquid cultures and transformed into <em>A. thaliana</em> Col-0 plants using the floral dipping method (Bechtold, 1993). Transgenic seeds were harvested and selected on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 20 μg/mL phosphinothricin (BASTA) and screened for ratio of 3:1 alive/dead segregation. After screening for two or three generations, transgenic plants were deemed to harbor single homozygous transgenes and were used for proximity labeling once germinated seeds achieved a 100% survival rate.</p> <p><em>Proximity labelling</em></p> <p>Seeds of <em>A. thaliana</em> plants stably expressing GFP-TurboID-3×FLAG or CathB6-TurboID-3×FLAG were sowed on ½ MS plates containing 1.0% sucrose and 0.3% phytagel and placed under long-day condition (16 h light/8 h dark) at 22 °C. After 10 days, 2.5 g seedlings were collected and submerged in 50 µM biotin solution for 4 hrs at RT. Afterwards, seedlings were rinsed with ice-cold MilliQ water for 5 times. After removing excess liquid with paper towel, seedings were ground with pestle, mortar and nitrogen to a fine powder. Protein extraction was performed in 5 mL of extraction buffer [150 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 10% Glycerol, 10 mM DTT, 0.4% Nonidet-40, 0.1% (w/v) Deoxycholic acid, 2% (w/v) PVPP, 1 tablet of cOmplete protease Inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Catalog number 10697498001)] and incubation on a rotor wheel at 4 °C for 30 min, followed by centrifugation of the tubes at 5000 g for 15 min to remove the cell debris. The upper soluble fraction was then run through the Zeba Spin Desalting Column (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Catalog number 89893) to remove excess biotin from the lysates. Fifty (50) µL of desalted lystate was used as input for western blot analysis, while the rest of the desalted lysate was incubated with High Capacity Streptavidin Agarose Resin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Catalog number 20361) on a rotor wheel at 4 °C overnight. The next day, Streptavidin beads were sequentially washed once in 1 mL Buffer 1 (2% SDS in water), once in 1 mL Buffer 2 [150 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 10% Glycerol, 0.1% (w/v) Deoxycholic acid (w/v), 1% Triton X-100], once in buffer 3 [10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 250 mM LiCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% (w/v) Deoxycholic acid, 1% (v/v) NP40], twice in Buffer 4 [50mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5)], and six times in Buffer 5 (50mM ammonium bicarbonate, pH 8.0). Finally, the streptavidin beads were resuspended in 200 µL of 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate. For quality control of the TurboID immunoprecipitation, 10% (20 µL) of the suspension was taken out for Western blot analysis, and the remaining bead suspension was flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C and submitted to nano LC-MS/MS analysis.</p> <p>For western blot analysis, 20 µL of suspended streptavidin beads in washing buffer 5 were added to 10 µL of 4× LDS Sample Loading Buffer, 10 mM DTT and 2 mM biotin, and boiled for 10 min. Samples were loaded onto 12% SDS-PAGE gels (Invitrogen) and transferred to 0.22 μm PVDF membranes using the Bio-Rad mini-PROTEAN Electrophoresis system. Membranes were hybridized with Streptavidin-HRP.</p> <p><em>NanoLC-MS/MS</em></p> <p><em> </em>Biotinylated proteins enriched with streptavidin beads were processed with trypsin via on bead digestion. The beads were washed in water and resuspended in of 1.5% sodium deoxycholate (SDC; Merck) in 0.2 M EPPS-buffer (Merck) to 50% bead slurry vol/vol, pH 8.5 and vortexed under heating. Cysteine residues were reduced with dithiothreitol, alkylated with iodoacetamide, and the proteins digested with trypsin in the SDC buffer according to standard procedures for 8 hrs. The beads were then pelleted by centrifugation and the supernatant was collected for SDC precipitation by adding trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to a final concentration of 0.2%. The clear supernatant was subjected to C18 SPE using home-made stage tips with C18 Reprosil_pur 120, 5 µm (Dr. Maisch GmbH, Germany). Aliquots were analyzed by nano LC-MS/MS on an Orbitrap Eclipse™ Tribrid™ mass spectrometer equipped with a FAIMS Pro Duo interface coupled to an UltiMate® 3000 RSLC nano LC system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Hemel Hempstead, UK). The samples were loaded onto a trap cartridge (PepMap™ Neo Trap Cartridge, C18, 5um, 0.3x5mm, Thermo) with 0.1% TFA at 15 µl min-1 for 3 min. The trap column was then switched in-line with the analytical column (Aurora Frontier TS, 60 cm nanoflow UHPLC column, ID 75 µm, reversed phase C18, 1.7 µm, 120 Å; IonOpticks, Fitzroy, Australia) for separation at 55°C using the following gradient of solvents: A (water, 0.1% formic acid) and B (80% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 0.26 µl min-1 : 0-3 min 1% B (parallel to trapping); 3-10 min increase B (curve 4) to 8%; 10-102 min linear increase B to 48; followed by a ramp to 99% B and re-equilibration to 0% B. Total runtime was 140 min.</p> <p>Mass spectrometry data were acquired between 10 and 110 min with the FAIMS device set to three compensation voltages (-35V, -50V, -65V) at standard resolution for 1.0 s each with the following MS settings in positive ion mode: OT resolution 120K, profile mode, mass range m/z 300-1600, normalized AGC target 100%, max inject time 50 ms; MS2 in IT Turbo mode: quadrupole isolation window 1 Da, charge states 2-5, threshold 1e4, HCD CE = 30, AGC target standard, max. injection time dynamic, dynamic exclusion 1 count for 15 s with mass tolerance of ±10 ppm, one charge state per precursor only.</p> <p>The mass spectrometry raw data were processed and quantified in Proteome Discoverer 3.1 (PD3.1) (Thermo) using the search engine CHIMERYS (MSAID, Munich, Germany); all mentioned tools of the following workflow are nodes of the proprietary Proteome Discoverer (PD) software. The <em>A. thaliana</em> protein sequence database (TAIR10, 35,386 entries, from 14/12/2010), the two sequences of the used TurboID constructs, and the MaxQuant contaminants database (240812, 246 entries) were imported into PD adding a reversed sequence database for decoy searches.</p> <p>The database search was performed using the search engine CHIMERYS (MSAID, Munich, Germany). The processing workflow started with spectrum recalibration, Minora Feature Detection with min. trace length 5, S/N 2.5, PSM confidence high, and Top N Peak Filter with 20 peaks per 100 Da. For CHIMERYS, the inferys_3.0.0_fragmentation prediction model with FDR targets 0.01 (strict) and 0.05 (relaxed), a fragment tolerance of 0.3 Da, enzyme trypsin with 2 missed cleavages, variable modification oxidation (M), fixed modification carbamidomethyl (C) were used.</p> <p>The consensus workflow in the PD3.1 software was used to evaluate the peptide identifications and to measure the abundances of the peptides based on the LC-peak intensities. For chromatographic alignment and feature mapping, a retention time tolerance of 2 min, a mass tolerance of 1 ppm, and an S/N threshold of 5 were used. For quantification, three replicates per condition were measured. In PD3.1, the following parameters were used for ratio calculation: normalization on total peptide abundances, protein abundance-based ratio calculation using the Top3 most abundant peptides, missing values imputation by low abundance resampling, hypothesis testing by t-test (background based), adjusted <em>p</em>-value calculation by BH-method. The results were exported into a Microsoft Excel table including data for protein abundances, ratios, <em>p</em>-values, number of peptides, protein coverage, the CHIMERYS identification score and other important values.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Data availability statement</strong></p> <p>The mass spectrometry proteomics data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the PRIDE partner repository with the dataset identifier with the dataset identifier PXD057789 and 10.6019/PXD057789.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Acknowledgements</strong></p> <p><strong> </strong>This research was funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) grants to SAH (BB/V008544/1 and BB/R009481/1).

Data 1) of <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> described in the 1001 genomes project <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/UDgV3V/DUBI">(1001 Genomes Consortium 2016)</a> were sown on sieved (6 mm) substrate (Einheitserde ED63). Pots were filled with 71.5 g ±1.5 g of soil to assure homogenous packing. The prepared pots were all covered with blue mats <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/UDgV3V/1WUv">(Junker et al. 2014)</a> to enable a robust performance of the high-throughput image analysis algorithm. Seeds were stratified (4 days at 4ºC in darkness) after which they germinated and left to grow for 2 weeks at 21ºC (relative humidity: 55 %; light intensity: 160 µmol m-2 s-1; 14 h light). The temperature treatments were started by transferring the seedlings to either 6 °C or 16 °C. To simulate natural conditions temperatures fluctuated diurnally between 16-21 °C, 0.5-6 °C and 8-16 °C for the 21 °C initial growth conditions and the 6 °C and 16 °C treatments, respectively (<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bmr7p24ZMh4yPFVV5oPeH2-T5S41TOFDS3au8JhtwsU/edit#fig_design">Fig.2</a>). Light intensity was kept constant at 160 µmol m-2 s-1 throughout the experiment. Relative humidity was set at 55% but in colder temperatures it rose uncontrollably to maximum 95%. Daylength was 9h during the 16°C and 6°C treatments.</p> <p>Each temperature treatment was repeated in three independent experiments. Five replicate plants were grown for every genotype per experiment. Plants were randomly distributed across the growth chamber with an independent randomisation pattern for each experiment. During the temperature treatments (14 DAS – 35 DAS), plants were photographed twice a day (1 hour. after/before lights switched on/off), using an RGB camera (IDS uEye UI-548xRE-C; 5MP) mounted to a robotic arm. At 35 DAS, whole rosettes were harvested, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C until further analysis. Rosette areas were extracted from the plant images using Lemnatec OS (LemnaTec GmbH, Aachen, Germany) software.</p> <p><em><strong>Seed size</strong></em></p> <p>We used the seeds produced by <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/UDgV3V/Jqsd">(Kerdaffrec et al. 2016)</a> and limited our measurements to the set of 123 Swedish accessions that overlapped with our growth dataset. After seed stratification for four days at 4ºC in darkness, mother plants were grown for 8 weeks at 4ºC under long-day conditions (16h light; 8h dark) to ensure proper vernalization. Temperature was raised to 21ºC (light) and 16ºC (dark) for flowering and seed ripening. Seeds were kept in darkness at 16ºC and 30% relative humidity, from the harvest until seed size measurements. For each genotype three replicates were pooled and about 200-300 seeds were sprinkled on 12 x 12 cm square, transparent Petri dishes. Image acquisition was performed as described in <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/UDgV3V/WH1e">(Exposito-Alonso et al. 2018)</a> by scanning dishes on a cluster of eight Epson V600 scanners. The resulting 1200 dpi .tiff images were analyzed in the Fiji software. Images were converted to 8-bit binary images and thresholded with the <em>setAutoThreshold("Defaultdark”) </em>command, and seed area was measured in squared mm by running the <em>Analyse Particles</em> command (inclusion parameters: size=0.04-0.25 circularity=0.70-1.00).</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Microclimate predicts frost-hardiness of alpine Arabidopsis thaliana populations better than elevation
<p>In mountain regions, topological differences on the micro-scale can strongly affect microclimate and may counteract the average effects of elevation, such as decreasing temperatures. While these interactions are well understood, their effect on plant adaptation is understudied.</p> <p> </p> <p>We investigated winter frost hardiness of Arabidopsis thaliana accessions originating from 13 sites along altitudinal gradients in the Southern Alps during three winters on an experimental field station on the Swabian Jura and compared levels of frost damage with the observed number of frost days and the lowest temperature in eight collection sites.</p> <p> </p> <p>We found that frost-hardiness increased with elevation in a log-linear fashion. This is consistent with adaptation to a higher frequency of frost conditions, but also indicates a decreasing rate of change in frost hardiness with increasing elevation. Moreover, the number of frost days measured with temperature loggers at the collection sites correlated much better with frost-hardiness than the elevation of collection sites, suggesting that populations were adapted to their local microclimate. Notably, the variance in frost days across sites increased exponentially with elevation. Together, our results suggest that strong microclimate heterogeneity of high alpine environments can preserve functional genetic diversity among small populations.</p> <p> </p> <p>Synthesis. Here we tested how plant populations differed in their adaptation to frost exposure along an elevation gradient and whether microsite temperatures improve the prediction of frost hardiness. We found that local temperatures, particularly the number of frost days, is a better predictor of the frost hardiness of plants than elevation. This reflects a substantial variance in frost frequency between sites at similar high elevations. We conclude that high mountain regions harbor microsites that differ in their local microclimate and thereby can preserve a high functional genetic diversity among them. Therefore, high mountain regions have the potential to function as a refugium in times of global change.</p>
Unraveling the secrets of plant roots: Simplified method for large scale root exudate sampling and analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana
<p>Plants exude a plethora of compounds, both above- and below ground, to communicate with their environment. Although much is known about this communication above ground, we are only beginning to fathom the identity, level of variation, and role of below-ground chemical signals in a plant’s life. There have been many challenges associated with establishing a standardized methodology for studying root-exuded compounds, thus their role in plant-environment communication is still not well described.</p> <p>Here, we develop an interdisciplinary workflow to explore the natural variation in root exudate chemical composition of the model plant <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>. We highlight key challenges associated with sampling strategies and develop a framework for analyzing narrow and broad-scale patterns in root exudate composition of a large sample set of natural <em>A. thaliana</em> accessions.</p> <p>Our method consists of <em>in vitro</em> cultivation of individual seedlings inside a plastic mesh followed by a short hydroponic sampling period in micro quantities of ultrapure water. The mesh eases handling individual plants of varying sizes, thus making this setup advantageous for large-scale characterization of root exudates of individual plants in axenic conditions, and can be easily extended for prolonged temporal exudate collection experiments. Furthermore, a short sampling duration minimizes the experiment duration from days to mere hours, and is validated by yielding sufficient signal even with the small volume of sampling solution. An untargeted metabolic profiling analytical approach using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS), followed by compound identification using open access software MZMine3 and SIRIUS 5, was used to capture a broad picture of the root exudate composition of <em>A. thaliana</em> accessions. This methodology can be broadly applied for investigating the role of root exudates as signals involved in plant belowground interactions. We report the first findings from the analysis here with results from Columbia genotype.</p> <p>We include here</p> <p> </p> <p>In <strong>Raw datafiles</strong>: The raw datasets obtained from MZmine 3 analysis, which contains aligned features of Columbia genotypes (Sheet1) as well as control samples (Sheet2). The dataset consists of <em>feature (row)ID, average (mass-to-charge ratios) m/z</em> and <em>retention times (RT)</em> across samples for individual features.

Volumetric imaging of Arabidopsis thaliana root cells
<p><em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> seeds were surface sterilized, germinated and grown in Murashigue and Skoog medium at pH 5.7 and supplemented with vitamins (0.1 mg l-1 pyridoxine, 0.1 mg l-1 nicotinic acid), 0.8% agar, and 1% sucrose. Plants were grown at 21°C, 16/8-hour light/dark periods at 105 µmol/m<sup>2</sup>s<sup>2</sup> light intensity.</p> <p>Using a Zeiss Axiovert 200M microscope and a C-APO 63X, 1.2NA objective (Oberkochen, Germany), confocal volumetric imaging of the plant material was performed, with a pixel size of 404 nm and Z step size of 500 nm. Excitation of the sample was provided by a 488 nm laser, and a filter cube with 525/45 nm and 630/92 nm bandpass filters was used for yellow and red emission light collection, respectively.</p> <p>An inverted Olympus FV1000-IX81 confocal microscope equipped with a LUMFLN×60, 1.3NA S objective was used for root cell nuclear imaging. Sample excitation was achieved with a 543 nm laser and a BA560-660 filter was used for emission light collection. Pixel size was 41 nm, with a Z step size of 100 nm.</p> <p>A custom-built selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) system was used for imaging of primary root cells expressing p35s:H2B-R-RF. Sample excitation was achieved with a 561 nm laser using stroboscopic illumination. Emission was filtered via a multi-bandpass emission filter (Semrock, FF01-446/523/600/677-25 BrightLine). Volumetric imaging was done by mounting the sample on a four dimensional (XYZ, and Y rotation) motorized stage (Picard Industries). A sCMOS sensor (Hamamatsu, ORCA-Flash4.0 V2) was used for signal recording. The OpenSPIM plugin of µmanager (v.1.4 for windows) was used for control of acquisition parameters, sample translation and stroboscopic illumination. Collected images had a pixel size of 0.325µm, Z step size of 100 nm and a Y rotation step of 1.8°.</p> <p>Experimental procedures were approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Biotechnology Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.</p>
