Abstract
Bud dormancy release in woody plants is crucial for survival, regrowth, flowering, and fruiting. Tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa), an important ornamental and economic plant, undergoes bud endodormancy in winter, and sufficient chilling duration and exogenous gibberellins (GAs) can effectively break the dormancy. However, the epigenetic regulation mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, immunoblotting revealed that H3K4me3, but not H3K4me1 or H3K4me2, was associated with chilling- and GA3-induced dormancy release. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) combined with RNA-seq results revealed that H3K4me3 enriched near transcription start sites (TSS). H3K4me3 enrichment genes (HEGs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were commonly enriched in KEGG pathways, such as plant hormone signal transduction and MAPK signaling. The expression patterns of these marker genes, such as EARLY BUD-BREAK 3 (PsEBB3), CYCLIND3.1 (PsCYCD3.1), CYCLIND3.3 (PsCYCD3.3), and β-1,3-glucanase 6 (PsBG6), were correlated with their H3K4me3 enrichment and were validated by chromatin immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR). Four COMPASS-like component homologs and one histone methyltransferase were screened; among them, PsWDR5a, PsRBL, PsASH2R, and PsATX1 were up-regulated by prolonged chilling and GA3 treatments. Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H), yeast three-hybrid (Y3H), luciferase complementation (LCA), and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) analyses revealed that PsRBL interacts with PsWDR5a and PsASH2R as a bridge. PsATX1 was confirmed as an H3K4me3 methyltransferase and interacted with PsWDR5a and PsRBL to form the PsATX1-COMPASS-like complex using Y2H, LCA, and Co-IP assays. Functional analyses showed that PsWDR5a, PsRBL, PsASH2R, and PsATX1 significantly promoted budburst by elevating genomic H3K4me3 levels. Our findings provide insights into the epigenetic regulation of dormancy transitions in woody perennials.
