LEC1,LEC2,FUS3andABI3(collectively abbreviatedLEC/ABI3here) are required for embryo maturation and have apparent roles in repressing post-germinative development.lecmutant embryos exhibit some heterochronic characteristics, as exemplified by the development of true leaf-like cotyledons during embryogenesis. Although the roles of LEC/ABI3 as positive regulators of embryo maturation have been extensively studied, their roles in the negative regulation of post-germinative development have not been explored in detail. Based on microarray analyses, we chosePYK10, which encodes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-body-localized protein, as a molecular marker of post-germinative development.lec/abi3embryos exhibitedPYK10misexpression and the formation of ‘constitutive’ ER-bodies, which develop specifically during the seedling stage, confirming the heterochronic nature of these mutants at both the gene expression and cellular levels. ThePYK10reporter expression inlec1embryos started as early as the globular–heart transition stage. The onset ofPYK10promoter–enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) reporter expression occurred in a stochastic, cell-by-cell manner in both developinglec/abi3embryos and germinating wild-type seedlings. Additionally, clustered EGFP-positive cells were frequently found along cell files, probably representing the transmission of the expression state via cell division. These observations, together with the results of the experiments usingPYK10-EGFP/PYK10-CFPdouble reporter transgenic lines and the analyses of H3K27me3 levels in thePYK10chromatin, suggested the involvement of epigenetic mechanisms in repressing post-germinative genes during embryogenesis and derepressing these genes upon the transition to post-germinative development.
