Serious seed abortion of dove tree (Davidia involucrate Baill.) is one of the critical factors leading to the low fecundity of this species. Seed abortion is a complicated process and various factors have been verified to synergistically determine the fate of seeds. To reveal the mechanism of seed abortion in D. involucrata, we performed transcriptome analysis in normal and abortive seeds of D. involucrata. According to the transcriptome data, we noticed that most of the genes encoding a MYB transcription factor were predominantly expressed in abortive seeds. Among these, a gene named DiMYB1 was selected and its function was validated in this study. Overexpression of DiMYB1 resulted in obviously reduced viability of transgenic seeds and seedlings, and caused a significantly higher seed abortion rate. The vegetative growth of transgenic plants was hindered, resulting in an earlier flowering time. In addition, colour changes occurred in transgenic plants. Some transgenic sprouts, stems and pods appeared purple instead of green in colour. Our finding demonstrated that DiMYB1 participates in multiple plant developmental processes, especially in seed development in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., which indicated the similar role of this gene in D. involucrata.

The Stability

Abstract tRNA molecules, which contain the most abundant post-transcriptional modifications, are crucial for proper gene expression and protein biosynthesis. Methylation at N1 of adenosine 58 (A58) is critical for maintaining the stability of initiator methionyl-tRNA (tRNAiMet) in bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic tRNAs. However, although research has been conducted in yeast and mammals, it remains unclear how A58 in plant tRNAs is modified and involved in development. In this study, we identify the nucleus-localized complex AtTRM61/AtTRM6 in Arabidopsis as tRNA m1A58 methyltransferase. Deficiency or a lack of either AtTRM61 or AtTRM6 leads to embryo arrest and seed abortion. The tRNA m1A level decreases in conditionally complemented Attrm61/LEC1pro::AtTRM61 plants and this is accompanied by reduced levels of tRNAiMet, indicating the importance of the tRNA m1A modification for tRNAiMet stability. Taken together, our results demonstrate that tRNA m1A58 modification is necessary for tRNAiMet stability and is required for embryo development in Arabidopsis.
