Whole WRKY gene family transcription analysis in rice during biotic and abiotic stress.

ABSTRACT: The WRKY gene family has a very ancient origin but has faced extensive duplication only in the plant kingdom so much that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) has 74 copies of WRKY genes encoding transcription factors while 109 can be found in Rice (Oryza sativa L.). Several studies in the last decade has pointed their involvement in an heterogeneous number of biological processes, from development to hormone signalling, dormancy and senescence, but a wide number of WRKY genes are transcriptionally regulated during biotic or abiotic stresses. To investigate involvement of WRKY genes upon host and non-host infection (different strain of Magnaporthe grisea) and osmotic stress in Rice, we performed a gene family transcription analysis using custom microarray. Results indicate that a relevant part of WRKY genes are involved during at least one of these stresses, that there is little difference in transcriptional regulation between host and non-host infection or between different tissues upon the same osmotic stress. Moreover, are evident groups of genes that, often with opposite behaviour, are co-regulated in all or most of the studied conditions. We thus formulated the hypothesis that WRKY genes might be part of co-regulatory networks with other WRKY genes. Keywords: stress response We analyzed 40 arrays and tested 6 conditions: BR29 (Non-host Pathogen), BR32 (Non-host Pathogen), FR13 (Host pathogen), Osmotic leaves 5 hours, Osmotic roots 1 hour and Osmotic roots 5 hours. 2 biological replicated were analyzed and between 2 to 4 technical replicates applied for each biological sample.

<h4>Background</h4>The WRKY transcription factor gene family has a very ancient origin and has undergone extensive duplications in the plant kingdom. Several studies have pointed out their involvement in a range of biological processes, revealing that a large number of WRKY genes are transcriptionally regulated under conditions of biotic and/or abiotic stress. To investigate the existence of WRKY co-regulatory networks in plants, a whole gene family WRKYs expression study was carried out in rice ...[more]

Project description:Internal aeration is crucial for root growth in waterlogged soil. A barrier to radial oxygen loss (ROL) can enhance long- distance oxygen transport via the aerenchyma to the root tip; a higher oxygen concentration at the apex enables root growth into anoxic soil. The ROL barrier is formed within the outer part of roots (OPR). Suberin and/or lignin depos- ited in cell walls are thought to contribute to the barrier, but it is unclear which compound is the main constituent. This study describes gene expression profiles during ROL barrier formation in rice roots to determine the relative responses of suberin and/or lignin biosyntheses for the barrier. OPR tissues were isolated by laser microdissection and their transcripts were analysed by microarray. A total of 128 genes were significantly up- or downregulated in the OPR during the barrier formation. Genes associated with suberin biosynthesis were strongly upregulated, whereas genes associated with lignin biosynthesis were not. By an ab initio analysis of the promoters of the upregulated genes, the putative cis-elements that could be associated with transcription factors, WRKY, AP2/ERF, NAC, bZIP, MYB, CBT/DREB, and MADS, were elucidated. They were particularly associated with the expression of transcrip- tion factor genes containing WRKY, AP2, and MYB domains. A semiquantitative reverse-transcription PCR analysis of genes associated with suberin biosynthesis (WRKY, CYP, and GPAT) confirmed that they were highly expressed during ROL barrier formation. Overall, these results suggest that suberin is a major constituent of the ROL barrier in roots of rice. 23-d-old plants were either continued in aerated solution or transplanted into N2-flushed or stagnant deoxygenated solution for 9 h. After treating the roots of plants in aerated, stagnant, or N2-flushed conditions for 9h, the basal parts (12.5 -22.5mm below the root - shoot junction) of the adventitious roots were collected. Cells in OPR (including exodermis and sclerenchyma) were isolated using laser microdissection. RNA extracted from the isolated OPR was analysed with a 44k rice oligo-DNA microarray. Total RNAs were labeled with a Quick Amp Labeling Kit (Agilent Technologies) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. Aliquots of Cy5-labeled and Cy3-labeled cRNA (10 ng each) were used for hybridization in a rice 44K oligo-DNA microarray.
