of this study was to increase understanding about the mechanism by which polyamines (PAs) promote the conversion of embryogenic calli (EC) into somatic embryos in cotton (<italic>Gossypium hirsutum</italic> L.). We measured the levels of endogenous PAs and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, quantified the expression levels of genes involved in the PAs pathway at various stages of cotton somatic embryogenesis (SE), and investigated the effects of exogenous PAs and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> on differentiation and development of EC. Putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), and spermine (Spm) significantly increased from the EC stage to the early phase of embryo differentiation. The levels of Put then decreased until the somatic embryo stage whereas Spd and Spm remained nearly the same. The expression profiles of <italic>GhADC</italic> genes were consistent with changes in Put during cotton SE. The H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> concentrations began to increase significantly at the EC stage, during which time both <italic>GhPAO1</italic> and <italic>GhPAO4</italic> expressions were highest and PAO activity was significantly increased. Exogenous Put, Spd, Spm, and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> not only enhanced embryogenic callus growth and embryo formation, but also alleviated the effects of <sc>D</sc>-arginine and 1, 8-diamino-octane, which are inhibitors of PA synthesis and PAO activity. Overall, the results suggest that both PAs and their metabolic product H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> are essential for the conversion of EC into somatic embryos in cotton.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Alcazar, R" uniqKey="Alcazar R">R.

We measured the levels of endogenous PAs and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, quantified the expression levels of genes involved in the PAs pathway at various stages of cotton somatic embryogenesis (SE), and investigated the effects of exogenous PAs and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> on differentiation and development of EC. Putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), and spermine (Spm) significantly increased from the EC stage to the early phase of embryo differentiation. The levels of Put then decreased until the somatic embryo stage whereas Spd and Spm remained nearly the same. The expression profiles of <italic>GhADC</italic> genes were consistent with changes in Put during cotton SE.

The developmental stages involved in SE are analogous to those involved in zygotic embryogenesis (<xref rid="B62" ref-type="bibr">Silveira et al., 2013</xref>); however, somatic embryos have no endosperm and do not undergo some of the early divisions which are characteristic in zygotic embryos (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">Costa et al., 2014</xref>; <xref rid="B66" ref-type="bibr">Soriano et al., 2014</xref>). In cotton, plantlets have been regenerated via SE using various combinations of plant growth-regulators, such as 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in combination with kinetin (KT) (<xref rid="B71" ref-type="bibr">Surgun et al., 2014</xref>). However, SE in cotton is often hampered by recalcitrance, long culture time, and high frequency of abnormal embryos. Low efficiency of regeneration is another major issue that limits the utilization of <italic>Agrobacterium</italic>-mediated transformation in cotton. Transcriptomic and proteomic studies have shown that genes and proteins involved in stress response, hormone metabolism, respiration, and photosynthesis play a role in increasing plantlet regeneration via SE in cotton (<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">Ge et al., 2014</xref>). In addition, the effects of several genes on SE have been analyzed. For example, auxin-induced expression of <italic>WUSCHEL</italic> (<italic>WUS</italic>), a specifier of stem cell fate, was found to be essential for renewal of embryonic stem cells during SE in <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> (<xref rid="B69" ref-type="bibr">Su et al., 2009</xref>). <italic>LEC2</italic> plays critical roles during embryo development and is essential for induction of SE in <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> (<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">Gaj et al., 2005</xref>). Understanding the molecular mechanisms of genes involved in SE and their interactions with other factors, such as hormones, can help with the initiation of embryogenic cultures and the enhancement of embryo yield and quality.</p><p>Polyamines (PAs), mainly putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), spermine (Spm), and the recently discovered thermospermine (T-Spm), are small, aliphatic amines that are widely present in all plant cells (<xref rid="B78" ref-type="bibr">Wojtasik et al., 2015</xref>). PAs are involved in many physiological processes, including cell division, rhizogenesis, senescence, floral development, fruit ripening, and the response to biotic and abiotic stress (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">Alcázar and Tiburcio, 2014</xref>). In plants, Put is synthesized by two pathways. One pathway begins with decarboxylation of arginine by arginine decarboxylase (ADC). PA concentrations are enhanced by exogenous arginine (<xref rid="B49" ref-type="bibr">Nieves et al., 2008</xref>). Another pathway begins with ornithine, which is converted into Put in a single-step reaction catalyzed by ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Spermidine is synthesized by spermidine synthase (SPDS) through the addition of an aminopropyl moiety to Put. The aminopropyl moiety is donated by decarboxylated <italic>S</italic>-adenosylmethionine (dcSAM) which is converted from <italic>S</italic>-methylmethionine by <italic>S</italic>-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC). Spermidine then functions as a substrate to synthesize Spm by spermine synthase (SPMS). Thermospermine is an isomer of spermine and assumed to be synthesized by a mechanism analogous to that of Spd biosynthesis (<xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">Knott et al., 2007</xref>). <sc>L</sc>-arginine is an important substrate for the biosynthesis of PAs. However, <sc>L</sc>-arginine can also be used to generate nitric oxide (NO) by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) (<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">Galea et al., 1996</xref>). Both H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and NO are important signaling molecules involved in many developmental and physiological processes in plants. The H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is involved in the regulation of root development, seed germination, programmed cell death, and defense responses to pathogen and abiotic stresses (<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">Berna and Bernier, 1999</xref>). Studies indicate that H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> can be produced either by the NADPH-dependent pathway (<xref rid="B46" ref-type="bibr">Neill et al., 2002a</xref>), the antioxidant enzyme system (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">Alscher et al., 1997</xref>), or from PAs (mainly Put, Spd, and Spm) catalyzed by polyamine oxidase (PAO) or diamine oxidase (DAO). NO is a highly diffusible free radical that acts as an intra- and/or inter-cellular messenger to regulate various developmental and biological processes, including root development, seed germination, senescence, respiration, cell death, disease resistance, hormone responses, and abiotic stress responses.</p><p>Polyamines have previously been linked to both zygotic embryogenesis and SE. PA concentrations increase during the early stages of SE in conifers but decrease during the late stages (<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">Gemperlová et al., 2009</xref>; <xref rid="B54" ref-type="bibr">Paul et al., 2009</xref>; <xref rid="B77" ref-type="bibr">Vuosku et al., 2012</xref>). Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine have also been shown to significantly improve SE of <italic>Theobroma cacao</italic> L, <italic>Citrus sinensis</italic> and <italic>Hurst Ecotype</italic> (<xref rid="B61" ref-type="bibr">Silva et al., 2009</xref>; <xref rid="B79" ref-type="bibr">Wu et al., 2009</xref>; <xref rid="B39" ref-type="bibr">Malá, 2012</xref>). Elevated levels of Put, Spd, and Spm in embryogenic cells, a result of enhanced expression of enzymes such as SAMDC, ADC and SPDS, suggest that PAs have a role in cellular differentiation during SE (<xref rid="B43" ref-type="bibr">Montague et al., 1978</xref>, <xref rid="B42" ref-type="bibr">1979</xref>; <xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">Gemperlová et al., 2009</xref>; <xref rid="B48" ref-type="bibr">Niemenak et al., 2012</xref>). Both ADC mRNA and ADC protein were localized in dividing cells of embryo meristems, suggesting an association between ADC and mitosis (<xref rid="B76" ref-type="bibr">Vuosku et al., 2006</xref>). Exogenous Put and Spm enhanced the growth of embryogenic cultures of <italic>Araucaria angustifolia</italic> and significantly affected endogenous concentrations of PA, IAA and ABA in embryogenic tissues (<xref rid="B67" ref-type="bibr">Steiner et al., 2007</xref>). Nevertheless, an inverse correlation was observed between total free PA concentration and embryogenic potential in <italic>Pinus nigra</italic> Am. Sp. (<xref rid="B50" ref-type="bibr">Noceda et al., 2009</xref>). Biosynthesis of PAs is regulated by light in the presence of the plant growth regulators benzylaminopurine and cytokinin during SE in <italic>C. canephora</italic> (<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">De-la-Peña et al., 2008</xref>). The dynamics of protein, sugar, starch, and amino acid were closely related to the accumulation of PAs during SE of <italic>A. sellowiana</italic> (<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">Cangahuala-Inocente et al., 2014</xref>). In addition, genomic DNA of embryogenic tissues of <italic>Pinus nigra</italic> Am. Sp., i.e., those that are able to produce regenerated plantlets, was found to be lowly methylated (<xref rid="B50" ref-type="bibr">Noceda et al., 2009</xref>). These studies have investigated the effects of endogenous or exogenous PAs on SE in different species under different conditions; however, the physiological mechanisms by which PAs promote SE are still largely unclear.</p><p><italic>Gossypium hirsutum</italic> L. cv.

To investigate temporal changes of free and conjugated PAs during cotton SE, the concentrations of three common PAs (Put, Spd, and Spm) were analyzed in hypocotyl-derived explants and in samples collected at different stages of cotton SE (Supplementary Figure <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SM1">S3</xref>). Compared to non-embryogenic callus, embryogenic callus showed a significant decrease in Put, a significant increase in Spd, and no changed in Spm (<bold>Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1A–C</xref></bold>). Compared to embryogenic callus, a significant increase in all three PAs (Put: 4.2-fold; Spd: 3.1-fold; Spm: 8.1-fold) was observed in the early phase of embryo differentiation (<bold>Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1A–C</xref></bold>). The total concentration of PAs increased 3.6-fold from the embryogenic callus stage to the early phase of embryo differentiation (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1D</xref></bold>).

The concentrations of Put and Spd declined significantly in the regenerated plantlets whereas the concentration of Spm increased significantly in the regenerated plantlets (<bold>Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1A–C</xref></bold>). Compared to Put and Spd, Spm concentrations remained relatively low throughout most of the SE stages except in the regenerated plantlets. As expected, supplementation of exogenous Put, Spm or Spd significantly increased endogenous Put, Spm and Spd in embryogenic callus.

A wide range of possible roles of PAs in SE have been suggested. For example, it has been proposed that PAs (i) increase SE by regulating 2, 4-D synthesis and transport (<xref rid="B68" ref-type="bibr">Stuart and Strickland, 1984</xref>), (ii) enhance development of the cell cytoskeleton and (iii) generate energy required for cell division and differentiation during SE by interacting with Ca<sup>2+</sup> transport (<xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">Kauss, 1987</xref>; <xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">Jansen et al., 1990</xref>). PAs have also been considered as hormone-like regulators that influence plant growth and development (<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">Iqbal and Koenig, 1985</xref>). Experiments in which either PAs or auxin were exogenously applied demonstrated that PAs may have a synergistic role as auxin (<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">Galston and Sawhney, 1990</xref>) to enhance the formation of somatic embryos (<xref rid="B74" ref-type="bibr">Trolinder and Goodin, 1988</xref>). It is important to note that PAs can be free, bound to macromolecules (DNA and protein), or attached (i.e., conjugated) to membranes (<xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">Kotzabasis et al., 1993</xref>). Different forms of PAs may have different functions during SE. Thermospermine is a structural isomer of Spm and it is assumed to be converted from spermidine by ACAULIS5 (ACL5). Genetic and molecular evidence indicates that thermospermine is produced through the action of <italic>AtACL5</italic> and required for stem elongation, xylem differentiation and vascular formation in <italic>Arabidopsis thaliana</italic> (<xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">Knott et al., 2007</xref>; <xref rid="B73" ref-type="bibr">Tong et al., 2014</xref>). In this study we analyzed for thermospermine but did not detect its presence during cotton SE.</p><p>Endogenous concentrations of Put, Spd, and Spm increased significantly from the embryogenic callus stage to the early stage of embryo differentiation (<bold>Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1A–C</xref></bold>). Furthermore, H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> began increasing before the PAs increased (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref></bold>). The increases in Put can be explained by dramatically increased expression levels of <italic>GhADC1</italic> and <italic>GhADC2</italic>, which are responsible for Put synthesis at the embryogenic callus stage and the early embryo differentiation stage (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref></bold>). Although <italic>ODC</italic> seems to be active in cotton (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">Altman et al., 1982</xref>), the <italic>GhODC</italic> gene has yet to be identified; therefore its expression pattern was not analyzed in this study.

These results not only confirmed observations reported in previous studies, but also revealed new findings about the roles of Put and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> in the formation of cotton somatic embryos. Specifically, Put seemed to promote embryo formation whereas H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> seemed to promote cotyledonary embryos development.</p><p>In plants, H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is considered to be one of the most important signaling molecules of abiotic stresses (<xref rid="B47" ref-type="bibr">Neill et al., 2002b</xref>).

More importantly, we observed that active PAO was essential for healthy development of somatic embryos (<bold>Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">7</xref></bold> and <bold><xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">8</xref></bold>). <italic>GhPAO1</italic> and <italic>GhPAO4</italic> were highly expressed in the embryogenic callus (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">9</xref></bold>), suggesting that H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> produced by the PAO metabolic pathway could be indispensable for the conversion of non-embryogenic callus to embryogenic callus during cotton SE.</p><p>Polyamine metabolism is one of the main sources of reactive oxygen species in plants under stress (<xref rid="B64" ref-type="bibr">Skopelitis et al., 2006</xref>). Many reactions in the PA metabolic pathway produce H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, especially the pathways metabolized by copper amine oxidase (CuAO) and flavin-containing PAO. Recent studies have cloned the gene(s) encoding PAO, purified the PAO enzyme, and investigated the spectral characteristics, subcellular localization and substrate specificity of PAO (<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">Fincato et al., 2011</xref>; <xref rid="B51" ref-type="bibr">Ono et al., 2012</xref>; <xref rid="B37" ref-type="bibr">Liu et al., 2014</xref>). In plants, PAOs are preferentially associated with the primary and secondary cell walls of tissues undergoing lignification, suberization, and wall stiffening. Biochemical, histochemical, and immunocytochemical studies have confirmed the localization of PAO in primary and secondary cell walls of xylem parenchyma, the endodermis, and the epidermis of maize seedlings (<xref rid="B65" ref-type="bibr">Slocum, 1991</xref>). PA Oxidase5 (<italic>AtPAO5</italic>) regulates <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> growth and development through thermospermine oxidase activity (<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">Kim et al., 2014</xref>). <italic>OsPAO7</italic> has been implicated in the biosynthesis of lignin, a major component of secondary wall thickening in anthers (<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">Boerjan et al., 2003</xref>). It has been suggested that H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> generated by extracellular PAOs could underlie tissue differentiation due to the coordinated processes of cell wall maturation and programmed cell death (<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">Desikan et al., 1998</xref>; <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">Del Duca et al., 2014</xref>). Studies involving overexpression or down-regulation of apoplastic PAO indicate that H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> derived from PA catabolism is important in the induction of either salinity-induced tolerance or programmed cell death in tobacco (<xref rid="B44" ref-type="bibr">Moschou et al., 2008</xref>). In addition, a recent study showed that PAO activity could be modulated by interaction between PAs and a regulatory element, such as uORF, located in the 5′-untranslated region of the <italic>AtPAO2</italic> gene (<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">Guerrero-González et al., 2014</xref>). Hence, it can be stated that a complex interplay of events modulates the levels of both AO and PAs. The rate of their secretion in the cell wall governs the spatio-temporal features of the AO-dependent biosynthesis of extracellular H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, which has been shown to play the dual role of (i) triggering peroxidase-mediated wall stiffening events and (ii) signaling the modulation of defense and hypersensitive response (HR)-cell death gene expression (<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">Cona et al., 2006</xref>; <xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">Kärkönen and Kuchitsu, 2015</xref>; <xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">Mastracci et al., 2015</xref>). In this study, PAO activities significantly increased after the non-embryogenic callus stage (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">7</xref></bold>). Repressing PAO activity by 1, 8-DO resulted in brown and necrotic cultures (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">8B</xref></bold>) and a significant decrease in both FW and somatic embryo number (<bold>Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">8D,I</xref></bold>). Importantly, the negative effects of 1, 8-DO were reversed by application of exogenous H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">8C</xref></bold>). Consistent with our observation, cell wall-localized <italic>Arabidopsis AtAO1</italic> has been reported to be expressed in root cap cells and protoxylem precursors at early stages of vascular tissue differentiation (<xref rid="B59" ref-type="bibr">Sandip et al., 2015</xref>). In cell walls, CuAOs and PAOs share overlapping roles as H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> sources in developmentally- or light-regulated cell wall maturation events (<xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">Cona et al., 2005</xref>), as well as in oxidative bursts occurring during defense responses against biotic and abiotic stresses (<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">Cona et al., 2006</xref>; <xref rid="B60" ref-type="bibr">Savatin et al., 2014</xref>) such as pathogen attack, salt stress and wound healing (<xref rid="B72" ref-type="bibr">Tisi et al., 2008</xref>; <xref rid="B41" ref-type="bibr">Mitsuya et al., 2009</xref>; <xref rid="B57" ref-type="bibr">Rodríguez et al., 2009</xref>; <xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">Mastracci et al., 2015</xref>). Our results indicate that active PAO and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> are both essential in cotton SE, which is a severe biotic stress. To our knowledge this is the first report about the role of PAO in the conversion of EC into somatic embryos.</p><p>Nitric oxide is another signal molecule involved in the PA metabolic pathway; however, it is not known if NO has a role in SE. One previous study indicated that endogenous NO emission decreased significantly during the early stages of SE of <italic>Araucaria angustifolia</italic> treated with glutathione (<xref rid="B75" ref-type="bibr">Vieira et al., 2012</xref>). In contrast, Put increased NO emission in embryogenic suspension cultures of <italic>A. angustifolia (</italic><xref rid="B63" ref-type="bibr">Silveira et al., 2006</xref><italic>)</italic>. The addition of SNP, a donor of NO, increased cell elongation and the expression of the receptor kinase (SERK) protein during SE of <italic>Medicago sativa</italic> L (<xref rid="B52" ref-type="bibr">Ötvös et al., 2005</xref>). In our study, NO concentrations tended to decrease during cotton SE; however, the declines were not very large (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4A</xref></bold>). Furthermore, cotton SE was completely inhibited when 1 mM SNP was added to the somatic embryo induction medium (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4C</xref></bold>). The function of NO-related chemicals and genes involved in NO-PA metabolism should be studied in the future.</p><p>Based on previous knowledge and the results of this study, we developed a working model showing the relationship between SE and chemicals involved in PA biosynthesis (<bold>Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F11">11</xref></bold>). PAs and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> are the key components of this model and are essential for normal SE. The differentiation and the development of embryonic callus are both inhibited when the synthesis of PAs is suppressed or PAO activity is blocked. The H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> detected during SE could have been generated from multiple pathways; however, the PA metabolic pathway and PAO seem to be critical factors affecting cotton SE.</p><fig id="F11" position="float"><label>FIGURE 11</label><caption><p><bold>A proposed model of PA metabolism and possible involvement of PA-related chemicals during SE in cotton</bold>.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="fpls-06-01063-g011"></graphic></fig></sec><sec><title>Author Contributions</title><p>Conceived and designed the experiments: W-HC, H-GZ, and JS Performed the experiments: W-HC, F-LW, and X-QC.
