The chloroplast biogenesis occurs in cotyledon during alfalfa seed germination before true leaf formation, and is extremely important for the followed plant development and growth. In this study, we conducted a simulation of alfalfa seed germination in the soil by using tin foil and focused on 10 pivotal time points of chloroplast biogenesis in cotyledons before and after light exposure, which showed significant differences in multispectral images, and covered the whole process of chloroplast biogenesis from proplastid, etioplast to mature chloroplast. We revealed three phases that referred to the programmed involvements of photosynthesis promotion, ultrastructure maturity, transcriptomic expression, and protein complex construction, and observed distinct transcriptional expressions of genes from nuclear and chloroplast genomes. In phase I at dark germination before light exposure, chloroplast-encoded genes showed up-regulated expressions together with the importation of chloroplast proteins. In phase II for the first day after light exposure, nuclear-encoded genes' expressions were initiated at 2 h after light exposure (E2h), followed by swift assembly of chloroplast thylakoid membrane protein complexes, and roaring Fv/Fm and contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid. The initiation at E2h was pronounced by the observation of gradual accumulation of single lamella, and facilitated the formation of granum stacks (thylakoid) at E8h in phase II. In phase III from the second day after light exposure, chloroplast became gradually complete with the fully established photosynthetic capacity. Altogether, our results layed a theoretical foundation for enhancing potential photosynthetic efficiency in alfalfa and related species |
