INTRODUCTION
Ethylene is a gaseous phytohormone that plays crucial roles in various biological processes,
including fruit ripening, abscission, stress response, cell expansion inhibition and senescence
(Abeles et al., 1988; Bleecker and Kende, 2000). Ethylene signaling initiates with the
perception of ethylene by ER-located receptors, which interact with a Raf-like protein kinase,
CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE 1 (CTR1), to form a negative regulator complex
(Bleecker et al., 1988; Clark et al., 1998; Hua and Meyerowitz, 1998). This complex inhibits
the essential positive regulator of ethylene signaling, ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 2 (EIN2),
until ethylene is present. Once ethylene signaling is activated, EIN2 activates two master
transcription factors, ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 3 (EIN3) and its homologue EIN3-LIKE 1
(EIL1), in the nucleus, and these transcription factors regulate multiple ethylene responses
(Binder et al., 2004; Ju et al., 2012; Qiao et al., 2012; Chang et al., 2013; Wen et al., 2012; Li
et al., 2015).
Sexual reproduction in flowering plants requires the production of two gametophytes: the
pollen (male gametophyte) and embryo sac (female gametophyte). Pollen is produced by the
anthers, which are initiated from the stamen primordia (Sanders et al., 1999). Each pollen
grain contains one vegetative cell and two sperm cells. In contrast, the embryo sac is located
inside the ovule, which includes the outer integuments; the nucellus, which is controlled by
the sporophyte, and the inner embryo sac, which is controlled by the gametophyte. The
embryo sac is composed of seven cells in Arabidopsis. One egg cell and two synergid cells
are located at the micropylar end of the ovule. One central cell is in the middle of the embryo
sac, and three antipodal cells are at the chalazal end of the ovule (Drews and Yadegari, 2002;
Yang et al., 2010). Synergid cells are responsible for attracting the pollen tube, but only one
pollen tube is attracted into each ovule. The disappearance of the persistent synergid cell after
double fertilization ensures that the attraction of the second pollen tube is blocked. Ethylene
signaling activation triggered by egg cell fertilization has been demonstrated to be largely
responsible for the programmed cell death of the persistent synergid cell (Volz et al., 2013;
Maruyama et al., 2015). On the other hand, over-activation of ethylene signaling, such as that
in the ctr1 mutant, also leads to abnormal synergid degradation (Volz et al., 2013). These
observations collectively implicate ethylene signaling as an important regulator of synergid
cell lifespan and pollen tube attraction.
RESULTS
ebf1 ebf2 is defective in female gametophytic and embryonic development
Previous studies have reported that it is difficult to identify homozygous ebf1-/-ebf2-/- plants
and that the fertility of ebf1-1-/-ebf2-1+/- is reduced (Guo and Ecker, 2003). We obtained the
ebf1-1-/-ebf2-1+/- allele used in the previous study and observed the vegetative growth and
seed set of ebf1-/-ebf2+/-. The plant is slightly small and weak in vegetative growth and
displayed reduced fertility. A number of aborted seeds could be observed in its siliques
(Figure 1a). In the wild type, approximately 95.53% of seeds were normal, while only
42.38% of seeds were normal in ebf1-/-ebf2+/- siliques (Figure 1b). Seed abortion can result
from developmental defects of the male sporophyte and gametophyte, female sporophyte and
gametophyte or embryo. To understand the functions of EBF1 and EBF2 in plant
reproduction in detail, a genetic analysis was performed. In the selfed progeny of ebf1-/-
ebf2+/- plants, no ebf1-/-ebf2-/- was identified, and the segregation ratio of ebf1-/-ebf2+/+ to
ebf1-/-ebf2+/- was approximately 1:1.2 (n=462, Table 1). This result indicates that the
gametophytic or embryonic development of ebf1 ebf2 was defective. When wild-type plants
were pollinated with pollen grains from ebf1-/-ebf2+/- plants, the ratio of ebf1+/-ebf2+/+ and
ebf1+/-ebf2+/- in the progeny was 1:1 (n=92; Table 1). This result suggests that ebf1 ebf2
pollen grains (male gametophyte) are normal. When ebf1-/-ebf2+/- stigmas were pollinated
with wild-type pollen grains, the ratio of ebf1+/-ebf2+/+and ebf1+/-ebf2+/- in F1 progenies was
approximately 5:1 (n=108; Table 1), which deviated from the expected ratio of 1:1. This
result indicates that only 33.3% of ebf1 ebf2 female gametophytes could accept the male
gametophyte for double fertilization, while the majority of them (66.7%) were defective.
Although genetic analysis revealed that all ebf1 ebf2 pollen grains and about 33.3% of ebf1
ebf2 female gametophytes had transmission ability, no ebf1-/-ebf2-/- plant has been identified.
This result implies that ebf1-/-ebf2-/- embryonic development might also be defective.
Since the reproductive defect of ebf1-/-ebf2+/- plants is of female gametophytic origin, we next
used confocal laser scanning microscopy to examine whether ovule development is normal in
ebf1-/-ebf2+/- pistils (Christensen et al., 1998). The development of the female gametophyte in
ebf1-/-ebf2+/- and wild type was indistinguishable during the coenocytic and later
differentiation stages (Figure S3a-S3b), indicating that female gametophytic development in
ebf1 ebf2 is normal.
Pollen tube attraction is one of the most important functions of the female gametophyte. To
test whether the female gametophytic defects of ebf1 ebf2 are associated with impaired pollen
tube attraction, we pollinated the stigmas of both ebf1-/-ebf2+/- and wild type with wild-type
pollen and examined the pollen tube growth. Sixteen hours after pollination, 96.57% of the
ovules of wild-type plants had attracted one pollen tube (n=423; Figure 2a, b and f). In
contrast, only 45.97% of the ovules of ebf1-/-ebf2+/- plants attracted pollen tubes (n=442;
Figure 2c, d and f), indicating that ebf1 ebf2 ovules are defective in attracting pollen tubes.
In the canonical ethylene signaling pathway, EBF1 and EBF2 are responsible for the
degradation of EIN3 (Guo and Ecker, 2003). To test whether EIN3 accumulation in the ebf1
ebf2 female gametophyte is responsible for the defective pollen tube attraction, we pollinated
the stigma of the ebf1-/-ebf2-/-ein3-/- triple mutant with wild-type pollen. Sixteen hours after
pollination, more than 70% of pollen tubes have entered the ovule of the ebf1 ebf2 ein3 triple
The synergid cells, located at the micropylar end, are crucial for pollen tube attraction (Yang
et al., 2010; Higashiyama et al., 2002). To investigate whether synergid cell function was
abnormal in ebf1 ebf2, we introduced the synergid-specific marker PDD31::GFP (Steffen et al.,
2007) into ebf1-/-ebf2+/- plants to examine synergid cell identity, with ebf1 as a control. In the
transgenic ebf1 lines, GFP signals were detected in more than 80% of female gametophytes
(n=554; Figure 3b). However, in the ebf1-/-ebf2+/- transgenic lines, GFP signals were detected
in only 44.76% of female gametophytes (n=791; Figure 3b). The ebf1-/-ebf2+/- plant is
expected to produce female gametophytes of ebf1 ebf2 and ebf1 EBF2 at a ratio of 1:1. These
observations suggest that the identity of ebf1 ebf2 synergid cells was severely disrupted,
which may further affect their function. Therefore, the EIN3 over-accumulation at the
micropylar end of the ovule may affect synergid cell function.
Expression of SAG29 driven by the DD31 promoter disrupts pollen tube attraction
To further study whether SAG29/SWEET15 is involved in pollen tube attraction, we
overexpressed SAG29 in synergid cells by using the synergid-specific promoter proDD31.
We constructed PDD31::SAG29 and transformed it into wild-type plants (Figure 6a). Eight in
11 plants showed reduced seed set (Figure 6b). The siliques of these transgenic lines
contained a number of spot-like aborted ovules that failed to develop into seeds on the
placenta (Figure 6b). In transgenic line one, there were only 51.3% normal ovules per silique
(n=486, Figure 6c). Aniline blue staining showed that 46.29% of pollen tubes failed to enter
an ovule (Figure 6d and e). The ratio of abnormal ovules was consistent with that of aborted
seed number (Figure 6e). Therefore, overexpression of SAG29 in synergid cells affects pollen
tube attraction, suggesting that SAG29 regulated by the EIN3-dependent ethylene signaling
pathway plays a role in blocking pollen tube attraction.
To examine whether the disruption of SAG29 can rescue the defective pollen tube attraction
of ebf1 ebf2 ovules, we tried to generate an ebf1 ebf2 sag29 triple mutant. Unfortunately,
neither the heterozygous plants (ebf1-/-ebf2+/-sag29-/- and ebf1+/-ebf2-/-sag29-/-) nor the
homozygous plant (ebf1-/-ebf2-/-sag29-/-) was identified among the ebf1+/-ebf2+/-sag29+/-
progeny (n=385). One probable reason for this result might be the high linkage between the
gene loci of EBF2 and SAG29 (Figure S4). Additionally, SAG29 might require the expression
of other EIN3 target genes to commonly affect pollen tube attraction.
Previous studies showed that SAG29 transcripts are strongly expressed in ovules, and the

SAG29 protein is expressed in seed coat cells (Seo et al., 2011; Chen et al., 2015). To
determine the detailed expression pattern of SAG29 in ovules, we made a construct of SAG29
fused with eGFP and driven by its native promoter, and transformed it into wild type. A weak
SAG29-eGFP signal could initially be detected at the cells surrounding the micropylar end in
un-pollinated ovules (Figure 7a). At 2 hours after pollination (HAP), the SAG29-eGFP signal
was similar to that of an un-pollinated ovule (Figure 7b). However, the signal was
significantly elevated at 4 HAP, and it continuously increased at the micropylar end to reach a
peak at 8 HAP (Figure 7c and d), suggesting that the SAG29 expression level may be
significantly activated by ethylene signaling at 8 HAP. Next, the signal started to decrease at
16 HAP (Figure 7e) and gradually disappeared at approximately 22 HAP (Figure 7f). The
expression dynamics of SAG29 in synergid cells are consistent with its function in blocking
pollen tube attraction.
DISCUSSION
EBF1 and EBF2 play redundant roles to ensure female gametophytic and embryonic
development
Ethylene is widely involved in plant senescence and stress responses. EBF1 and EBF2 have
been reported to control the degradation of EIN3, the key transcription factor of the ethylene
signaling pathway (Guo and Ecker, 2003; Potuschak et al., 2003; Gagne et al., 2004).
Previous investigation indicates that ethylene signaling is also involved in plant reproduction,
as ebf1 ebf2 homozygous plants could not be identified (An et al., 2010). In this work, we
demonstrate that EBF1 and EBF2 affect female gametophytic and embryonic development,
while the ebf1 ebf2 male gametophyte is functionally normal.
The synergid cells of the female gametophyte play the role to attract the pollen tube. We
demonstrate that EIN3 over-accumulation in the synergid cells of ebf1 ebf2 blocks pollen
tube attraction (Figures 2d and f, 3a). However, genetic analysis reveals that about 33.3% of
ebf1 ebf2 female gametophytes (ovules) are still functional (Table 1). As ebf1 ebf2 pollen is
functional and ebf1-/-ebf2-/- plants could not be identified (Figure 1), this indicates that ebf1-/-
ebf2-/- is embryo lethal. Although we have no direct evidence of EIN3 accumulation in ebf1
Pollen tube attraction by the female gametophyte and embryonic development are two
indispensable processes of plant reproduction. Ethylene plays an important role in integrating
environmental cues during plant stress responses and organ senescence (Abeles et al., 1992).
The repression of over-activated ethylene signaling can prevent abnormal senescence of the
synergid cells and, therefore, ensure appropriate pollen tube attraction and guarantee
successful sexual reproduction. ebf1 and ebf2 single mutant have no reproductive defects,
suggesting that either EBF1 or EBF2 is sufficient to block ethylene signaling in the synergid
cells and embryo. Therefore, possessing both EBF1 and EBF2 guarantees that synergid cells
will attract pollen tubes under different environmental conditions before fertilization.
SAG29 activated by EIN3 plays a role in synergid function for pollen tube attraction
SAG29/SWEET15 belongs to the SWEET family of sugar transporters (Chen et al., 2010;
Chen et al., 2012). Previous research has shown that the expression level of SAG29 is
significantly elevated during leaf senescence (Quirino et al., 1999; Seo et al., 2011). SAG29
might function with SWEET11 and SWEET12 in providing nutrition between the seed coat
and endosperm during embryonic development (Chen et al., 2015). In this work, the
expression of SAG29 was evidently increased in ebf1 ebf2, and EIN3 can directly activate the
expression of SAG29 (Figure 5). Transgenic lines expressing SAG29 in synergid cells showed
disrupted pollen tube attraction (Figure 6). Cytological observations showed that SAG29-
eGFP was expressed at the micropylar end of the ovule (Figure 7). Therefore, SAG29 plays a
role in ethylene signaling to block pollen tube attraction. As a sucrose transporter, SAG29
can transport polysaccharides (Chen et al., 2010). Sugar is the fundamental material for cell
development. Overexpression of SAG29 might lead to the excess inflow or outflow of sugars,
which disrupts the sugar metabolism and affects the osmotic pressure of the cell. In addition,
a recent study reported that the arabino-galactan polysaccharide material (AMOR) was
crucial for the acquisition of ovule attraction competence by the pollen tube (Mizukami et al.,
2016). The SAG29-eGFP location is similar to that of AMOR (Figure 7). SAG29 may be
associated with the secretion of AMOR sugar chains or other attractants. Over-accumulation
of SAG29 might interfere with the normal transportation of these attractants. However, the
