Project description:Nitrogen is the most important mineral nutrient of plant. As a worldwide and economically important vegetable, cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) has a strong nitrogen-dependence. We took whole transcriptome sequencing approach to compare the gene expression profiles of cucumber leaves and roots grown under sufficient or insufficient nitrate supply. Analysis of the transcriptome data revealed that the root and leaf adapt different response mechanisms to long-term nitrogen deficiency. Photosynthesis and carbohydrate biosynthetic process were pronouncedly and specifically reduced in leaf, while the ion transport function, cell wall and phosphorus-deficiency response function seem systematically down-regulated in root. Genes in nitrogen uptake and assimilation are decreased in root, but some are increased in leaf under nitrogen deficiency. Several lines of evidence suggest that the altered gene expression networks support the basic cucumber growth and development likely through successful nitrogen remobilization involving in the induced expression of genes in ABA and ethylene pathways.

Project description:Maize is a globally important food and feed crop, and a low-phosphate (Pi) supply in the soil frequently limits maize yield in many areas. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the development and adaptation of plants to the environment. In this study, the spatio-temporal miRNA transcript profiling of the maize inbred line Q319 root and leaf in response to low Pi was analyzed with high-throughput sequencing technologies, and the expression patterns of certain target genes were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Complex small RNA populations were detected after low-Pi culture and displayed different patterns in the root and leaf. miRNAs identified as responding to Pi deficiency can be grouped into ‘early’ miRNAs that respond rapidly, and often non-specifically, to Pi deficiency, and ‘late’ miRNAs that alter the morphology, physiology or metabolism of plants upon prolonged Pi deficiency. The miR827-Nitrogen limitation adaptation (NLA)-mediated post-transcriptional pathway was conserved in response to Pi availability of maize, but the miR399-mediated post-transcriptional pathway was different from Arabidopsis. Abiotic stress-related miRNAs engaged in interactions of different signaling and/or metabolic pathways. Auxin-related miRNAs (zma-miR393, zma-miR160a/b/c, zma-miR160d/e/g, zma-miR167a/b/c/d and zma-miR164a/b/c/d/g) and their targets play important roles in promoting primary root growth, inhibiting lateral root development and retarding upland growth of maize when subjected to low Pi. The changes in expression of miRNAs and their target genes suggest that the miRNA regulation/alterations compose an important mechanism in the adaptation of maize to a low-Pi environment; certain miRNAs participate in root architecture modification via the regulation of auxin signaling. A complex regulatory mechanism of miRNAs in response to a low-Pi environment exists in maize, revealing obvious differences from that in Arabidopsis. Maize (Zea mays L.) inbred line Q319 was used in this study. Seeds of the maize inbred line Q319 were surface sterilized and held at 28°C in darkness. Seedlings (4 days old) were transferred to a sufficient phosphate (SP, 1,000 μM KH2PO4) solution (Ca(NO3)2.4H2O 2 mM, NH4NO3 1.25 mM, KCl 0.1 mM, K2SO4 0.65 mM, MgSO4 0.65 mM, H3BO3 10.0 mM, (NH4)6Mo7O24 0.5 mM, MnSO4 1.0 mM, CuSO4.5H2O 0.1 mM, ZnSO4.7H2O 1.0 mM, Fe-EDTA 0.1 mM), allowed to grow for 4 days (plants with 2–3 leaves). After 2-3 days of re-culturing in SP nutrient solutions, half of the seedlings were transplanted into a low phosphate (LP, same composition as the SP solution, except that 5 μM KH2PO4 and 1 mM KH2PO4 were replaced with 1 mM KCl) nutrient solution. The plants were grown under a 32°C/25°C (day/night) temperature regime at a photon flux density (PFD) of 700 μmol m-2 s-1 with a 14 h/10 h light/dark cycle in a greenhouse with approximately 65% relative humidity. The roots and leaves were then harvested at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 days and 8 days and cultured in SP solution (as a normal growth control) for small RNA analysis. The samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately and stored at -80℃ for further analysis. Each biological repeat contains segments from 15~20 plants. Total RNA was extracted as previously described in Molecular Cloning (Sambrook and Russell David, 1989) and was then subjected to two additional chloroform washes prior to nucleic acid precipitation. The small RNA digitalization analysis based on HiSeq high-throughput sequencing takes the SBS-sequencing by synthesis. Then the 50nt sequence tags from HiSeq sequencing will go through the data cleaning first, which includes getting rid of the low quality tags and several kinds of contaminants from the 50nt tags. Length distribution of clean tags are then summarized. Afterwards, the standard bioinformatics analysis will annotate the clean tags into different categories and take those which can not be annotated to any category to predict the novel miRNA and base edit of potential known miRNA. Compare the known miRNA expression between two samples to find out the differentially expressed miRNA. The procedures are shown as below: (1)Normalize the expression of miRNA in two samples (control and treatment) to get the expression of transcript per million (TPM). Normalization formula: Normalized expression = Actual miRNA count/Total count of clean reads*1000000 (2)Calculate fold-change and P-value from the normalized expression. Then generate the log2ratio plot and scatter plot.

Project description:Leaf senescence, the last step of leaf development, is a highly regulated process, modulated by a number of internal and external factors. During the senescence process resources like nitrogen (N) are remobilized from senescent tissues to sink tissues. This intrinsically depends on the accurate dispersion of resources according to sink strength of various organs competing with each other. Consequently, N deficiency accelerates barley leaf senescence and its resupply can delay the senescence progression. In order to identify genetic and metabolic factors that regulate leaf senescence in response to N supply, transcriptomic and global metabolic rearrangements were analyzed in barley primary at early and later stages of N deprivation, and after N resupply to N-deficient plants.

Project description:We study the effect of nitrogen limitation on the growth and development of poplar roots. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying morphological and developmental changes driven by low nitrogen in the growth media. We report the effect of nitrogen limitation on the growth and development of poplar roots. Low nitrogen concentration led to increased root elongation followed by lateral root proliferation and finally increased root biomass. These morphological responses correlated with high and specific activation of genes encoding regulators of cell cycle and enzymes involved in cell wall biogenesis, growth and remodeling. Comparative analysis of poplar and Arabidopsis root transcriptomes under nitrogen deficiency indicated many similarities and diversification in the response in the two species. A reconstruction of genetic regulatory network (GRN) analysis revealed a sub-network centered on a PtaNAC1-like transcription factor. Consistent with the GRN predictions, root-specific upregulation of PtaNAC1 in transgenic poplar plants increased root biomass and led to significant changes in the expression of the connected genes specifically under low nitrogen. PtaNAC1 and its regulatory miR164 showed inverse expression profiles during response to LN, suggesting of a micro RNA mediated attenuation of PtaNAC1 transcript abundance in response to nitrogen deprivation. Poplar roots from low nitrogen treated and untreated from in vitro condition was selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Roots were sampled at 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 504h after transfer to control and low nitrogen media and RNA was extacted.

Project description:To understand the effect of sulfur deficiency on developmental stages in the root, we dissected the root into four developmental zones after exposure to sulfur deficiency and expression profiled each zone. Stress responses in plants are tightly coordinated with developmental processes, but the interaction between these pathways is poorly understood. Here we use genome-wide assays at high spatial and temporal resolution to understand the processes that lnk development and stress in the Arabidopsis root. Our meta-analysis finds little evidence for a universal stress response. Common stress responses appear to exists and, analagous to animal systems, many of them show cell-type specificity, suggesting a convergent evolutionary theme in multicellular organisms. Common stress responses may be mediated by cell identity regulators, as mutations in these genes resulted in altered responses to stress. Our results reveal surprising linkages between stress and development at cellular resolution, and show the power of multiple genome-wide datasets to elucidate biological processes. 2 replicates each of 4 developmental stages exposed to sulfur deficient media

Project description:Deep sequencing of Arabidopsis thaliana small RNAs was conducted to reveal microRNAs (miRNAs) and other small RNAs that were differentially expressed in response to phosphate (Pi) deficiency. About 3.5 million sequence reads corresponding to 0.6-1.2 million unique sequence tags from each Pi-sufficient or -deficient root or shoot sample were mapped to the Arabidopsis genome. We showed that upon Pi deprivation, the expression of miR156, miR399, miR778 and miR827 was induced, whereas the expression of miR169, miR395 and miR398 was repressed. We found crosstalks coordinated by these miRNAs under different nutrient deficiencies. Moreover, we found a new miRNA family upregulated specifically by Pi deficiency. In addition to miRNAs, we identified one Pi starvation-induced DCL1-dependent small RNA derived from the long terminal repeat of a retrotransposon and a group of 19-nucleotide small RNAs corresponding to the 5' end of tRNA and expressed at a high level in Pi-starved roots. Interestingly, we observed an increased abundance of TAS4-derived trans-acting siRNAs (ta-siRNAs) in Pi-deficient shoots and uncovered an autoregulatory mechanism of PAP1/MYB75 via miR828 and TAS4-siR81(-) that regulates the biosynthesis of anthocyanin. This finding sheds light on the regulatory network between miRNA/ta-siRNA and its target gene. Of note, a substantial amount of miR399* accumulated under Pi deficiency. Like miR399, miR399* can move across the graft junction, implying a potential biological role for miR399*. This study represents a comprehensive expression profiling of Pi-responsive small RNAs and advances our understanding of the regulation of Pi homeostasis mediated by small RNAs.

Project description:Global gene expression was compared between roots of cotton plants (variety Sicot 71) flooded for 4 hours and roots of unflooded cotton plants. Global gene expression was also compared between leaves of cotton plants (variety Sicot 71) flooded for 24 hours and leaves of unflooded cotton plants. Waterlogging stress causes yield reductions in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). A major component of waterlogging stress is the lack of oxygen available to submerged tissues. While changes in expressed protein, gene transcription and metabolite levels have been studied in response to low oxygen stress, little research has been done on molecular responses to waterlogging in cotton. We assessed cotton growth responses to waterlogging and assayed global gene transcription responses in root and leaf cotton tissues of partially submerged plants. Waterlogging causes significant reductions in stem elongation, shoot mass, root mass, and leaf number. At the global gene expression level waterlogging significantly alters the expression of 1012 genes (4.2% of genes assayed) in root tissue as early as 4h after flooding. Many of these genes are associated with cell wall modification and growth pathways, glycolysis, fermentation, mitochondrial electron transport and nitrogen metabolism. Waterlogging of plant roots also altered global leaf gene expression, significantly changing the expression of 1305 genes (5.4% of genes assayed) after 24h of flooding. Genes associated with cell wall growth and modification, tetrapyrrole synthesis, hormone response, starch metabolism and nitrogen metabolism were affected in leaf tissues of waterlogged plants. Implications of these results for the development of waterlogging tolerant cotton are discussed. Keywords: Stress Response Plants of cotton cultivar Sicot 71 were grown to the two-leaf stage in tubs. For stress treatments plants were either watered as normal or flooded with water to completely submerge the root system. At four and twenty-four hours post-flooding samples of root or leaf tissue were taken from control and flooded plants. Total RNA was extracted from each tissue sample and assayed on cotton Affymetrix chips. Two biological replications were used for each comparison.

Project description:To optimize access to nitrogen under limiting conditions, root systems must continuously sense and respond to local or temporal fluctuations in nitrogen availability. In Arabidopsis thaliana and several other species, external N levels that induce only mild deficiency stimulate the emergence of lateral roots and especially the elongation of primary and lateral roots. However, the identity of the genes involved in this coordination remains still largely elusive. In order to identify novel genes and mechanisms underlying nitrogen-dependent root morphological changes, we investigated time-dependent changes in the root transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana plants grown under sufficient nitrogen or under conditions that induced mild nitrogen deficiency.

Project description:Two-week old bread wheat seedlings hydroponically grown Hoagland solution were transferred to potassium (K+)-free conditions for 8 d, their root and leaf proteome profiles were assessed using iTRAQ proteome method, and NCBInr database combined with the recently published bread wheat genome information were used to analyze the identified protein species. Over 4,000 unique proteins were identified, 818 K+-responsive protein species showed significant abundance regulation. The most majority of the identified K+-responsive protein species had exact gene loci, and showed no global but tissue- and chromosome- dependent genome distributions. The identified protein species were associated with diverse functions and exhibited organ-specific differences. Most of identified protein species associated with hormone synthesis were the enzymes involved in the synthesis of jasmonic acid (JA). Allene oxide synthase (AOS), a key JA synthesis-related enzyme, was significantly induced in both root and leaf organs of K+-deficient wheat seedlings, and its overexpression in rice enhanced the tolerance to low K+ or K+ deficiency, increased contents of K+ and JA and transcription levels of some K+-responsive genes. However, rice AOS T-DNA inserted mutant (osaos) exhibited more sensitivity to K+ deficiency. K+ deficiency significantly increased abundance of a high affinity K+ transporter (TaAHAK1), TaAHAK1 transgenic rice seedlings markedly alleviated sensitivity to K+ deficiency, and K+ deficiency also upregulated expression of homologous OsHAK1 gene in TaAOS transgenic rice plants. These results suggested an essential role of JA in K+ deficiency and gave molecular insight into the responses of plant to K+ deficiency.
