| Résumé: | Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. Somatic embryogenesis represents an alternative developmental process used to achieve genetic transformation and to approach key questions in maize development. It is known that embryogenic callus induction and plant regeneration are accompanied by microRNA expression changes. However, small RNA (sRNA) populations have not been explored during the proliferative callus subculture establishment and their impact on maintaining the dedifferentiated status and embryogenic potential is far from being completely understood. Here we globally tested the sRNA populations in explants (immature embryos), induced and established maize embryogenic callus from the Mexican cultivar VS-535, Tuxpeño landrace. We detected readjustments in 24 nt and 21-22 nt sRNAs during the embryogenic callus (EC) establishment and maintenance. A follow up on specific microRNAs (miRNAs) indicated that miRNAs related to stress response substantially increase upon the callus proliferation establishment, correlating with a reduction in some of their target levels. On the other hand, while 24 nt-long heterochromatic small interfering RNAs (hc-siRNAs) derived from transposable retroelements transiently decreased in abundance during the EC establishment, a population of 22 nt-hc-siRNAs increased. This was accompanied by reduction in transposon expression in the established callus subcultures. We conclude that stress- and development-related miRNAs are highly expressed upon maize EC callus induction and during maintenance of the subcultures, while miRNAs involved in hormone response only transiently increase during induction. In addition, the establishment of a proliferative status in embryogenic callus is accompanied by important readjustments in hc-siRNAs mapping to long tandem repeat (LTR) retrotransposons, and their expression regulation |
