Project description:Background: Eucalyptus species and interspecific hybrids exhibit valuable growth and wood properties that make them a highly desirable commodity. However, these trees are challenged by a wide array of biotic stresses during their lifetimes. The Eucalyptus grandis reference genome sequence provides a resource to study pest and pathogen defence mechanisms in long-lived woody plants. E. grandis trees are generally susceptible to Chrysoporthe austroafricana, a causal agent of stem cankers on eucalypts. The aim of this study was to characterize the defence response of E. grandis against C. austroafricana. Results: Hormone profiling of susceptible and moderately resistant clonal E. grandis genotypes indicated a reduction in salicylic acid and gibberellic acid levels at 3 days post inoculation. We hypothesized that these signaling pathways may facilitate resistance. To further investigate other defence mechanisms at this time point, transcriptome profiling was performed. This revealed that cell wall modifications and response to oxidative stress form part of the defence responses common to both genotypes, whilst changes in the hormone signaling pathways may contribute to resistance. Additionally the expression of selected candidate defence response genes was induced earlier in moderately resistant trees than in susceptible trees, supporting the hypothesis that a delayed defence response may occur in the susceptible interaction. Conclusion: The ability of a host to fine-tune its defence responses is crucial and the responses identified in this study extends our understanding of plant defence, gained from model systems, to woody perennials. E. grandis trees were stem inoculated with C. austroafricana. RNA was extracted from stem material harvested 3 days post inoculation for transcriptome profiling. Three biological replicates of harvested material was sent for RNA-sequencing

Project description:Background: The change from juvenile to mature phase in woody plants is often accompanied by a gradual loss of rooting ability, as well as by reduced microRNA (miR) 156 and increased miR172 expression. Results: We characterized the population of miRNAs of Eucalyptus grandis and compared by Northern blot the gradual reduction in miR156 and increase in miR172 expression during development to the loss of rooting ability. Forty known and eight novel miRNAs were discovered and their predicted targets are listed. The expression pattern of nine miRNAs was determined during adventitious root formation in juvenile and mature cuttings. While the expression levels of miR156 and miR172 were inverse in juvenile and mature tissues, no mutual relationship was found between high miR156 expression and rooting ability, or high miR172 expression and loss of rooting ability. This is shown both in E. grandis and also in E. brachyphylla, in which explants that underwent rejuvenation in tissue culture conditions were also examined. Conclusions: It is suggested that in these Eucalyptus species, there is no correlation between the switch of miR156 with miR172 expression in the stems and the loss of rooting ability.

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding endogenous RNAs that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally, play multiple key roles in plant growth and development and the stress response. Knowledge of and the roles of miRNAs in pomegranate fruit development have not been explored. Results: Pomegranate, which accumulates a large amount of anthocyanins in skin and arils, is valuable to human health, mainly because of antioxidant properties. In this study, we developed a small RNA library from pooled RNA samples from young seedling to matured fruits and identified both conserved and pomegranate-specific miRNA from 29,948,480 high-quality reads. For the pool of 15- to 30-nt small RNAs, ~50% were 24 nt. The miR157 family was the most abundant, followed by miR156, miR160, and miR159, with many variants within each family. The base bias at the first position from the 5â end has a strong preference for U for most 18- to 26-nt miRNAs but a preference for A for 18-nt miRNAs. In addition, for all 24-nt miRNAs, the nucleotide U is preferred (97%) in the first position. RT-qPCR was used to validate the expression of the predominant miRNA families in leaves, male and female flowers, and multiple fruit developmental stages; miR156, miR156-v1, miR159, miR159-v1, and miR319 were upregulated during the later stages of fruit development. Gene ontology and KEGG pathway analyses revealed predominant metabolic processes and catalytic activities, important for fruit development. In addition, KEGG pathway analyses revealed the involvement of miRNAs in ascorbate and linolenic acid, starch and sucrose metabolism; RNA transport; plant hormone signaling pathways; and circadian clock. Conclusion: Pomegranate largely contains anthocyanin, flavonoids, and antioxidants, which play critical roles in treating cancer, Alzheimer disease, and preventing heart attacks. Our first and preliminary report of novel miRNAs provides information on the biochemical compounds of pomegranate for future research. The functions of the targets of these novel miRNAs need further investigation. Profiling of miRNAs in pomegranate using Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform

Project description:Transcriptomic analyses are particularly powerful in research when they are based on detailed underlying knowledge of developmental processes, morphological/anatomical features and biochemical/metabolic processes. Our work is based on our detailed knowledge of grain development and provides an invaluable resource for both Brachypodium grain development specifically and for comparative analyses to other species, including cereal crops. Grain development includes several transition points in addition to being preceded and succeeded by the fundamental developmental switches of fertilization and germination. Such complex process requires a larger sets of genes expressed in a highly-controlled manner. We have selected eight stages of developmental in Brachypodium distachyon encompassing these transitions and conducted comprehensive transcriptomic analyses to generate a valuable resource of the developmental transitions and the distinctive biological processes that are activated and/or repressed during grain development and germination. Comparison of the data generated in this project to other grasses, including the important crop species, and beyond will also shed light on the conservation and/or diversification in gene expression and function in an evolutionary context. Brachypodium distachyon grains (Bd-21 accession) were germinated on moist filter paper after stratification at 4°C for 48h. Five-day old seedlings were transferred to 9cm square pots with a 2:2:1 multipurpose compost: vermiculite: sand mix and grown under controlled environment conditions with a 18h photoperiod at 20°-22°C and light intensity of 180-200 umol/m/s. Tissue samples were collected from eight distinct developmental stages; pre-anthesis ovaries, young grains (1-3 DAA), middle length grains (3-8 DAA), full length grains (8-15 DAA), mature grains (15-20 DAA), mature grains without embryo, germinating grains and seedlings at 3-4 days after germination (Fig.1). Tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after collection and were kept at -80°C until further analyses. Total RNA was isolated from frozen tissue samples using the Spectrum Plant Total RNA Kit (Sigma-Aldrich) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Three biological replicates were used for each stage of development. The RNA samples were treated with DNase I (New England Biolabs) in order to eliminate DNA contamination and their concentration was determined using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Project description:In plant cells, chloroplast gene expression is predominantly controlled through regulationof translation. Fine-tuning of protein synthesis is vital for plant development, acclimation to environmental challenges and for the assembly of major protein complexes such as the photosynthesis machinery. However, little is known about the degree and nature of the regulatory network, mainly due to challenges associated with the specific isolation of chloroplast ribosomes under conditions that also retain weak or transient interactions. Here, we established a ribosome affinity purification method, which enabled us to map the global interaction network of chloroplast ribosomes. Endogenously tagging a protein of the large or small subunit revealed not only interactors of the holo complex, but also preferential interactors of the two subunits. This includes known canonical regulatory proteins as well as several new proteins belonging to the categories of protein and RNA regulation, photosystem biogenesis, redox control and plastidic metabolism. By further characterizing identified proteins, we provide the first evidence for the existence of a co-translational N-acetyltransferase process in chloroplasts. Our dataset establishes the chloroplast ribosome as nexus in a highly choreographed, spatially interconnected protein network and reveals its wide-ranging regulatory potential during gene expression.

Project description:The use of light-emitting diode (LED) lamps could be an alternative method to improve somatic embryogenesis, yielding more efficient somatic embryo development and maturation than the use of conventional fluorescent lamps. The aim of this work was to study the influence of light quality on the somatic embryo development and differential abundance of proteins during the maturation of papaya (Carica papaya) cv. ‘Golden’ embryogenic cultures, using LED lamps with different wavelengths. Of all the LED treatments, the white plus medium blue (WmB - 450/530 nm) light resulted in the best somatic embryo production after 28 days of maturation. The WmB and fluorescent treatments generated 82.4 and 47.6 cotyledonary stage somatic embryos, respectively. By a comparative shotgun proteomics analysis between WmB LED and fluorescent lamps treatments, a total of 28 up-regulated and 7 down-regulated proteins were identified. Among the proteins up-regulated in the cultures treated with WmB LED light compared with fluorescent light were the indole-3-acetic acid-amido synthetase (GH3), pyrophosphate-energized vacuolar membrane proton pump (H+-PPase), and actin-depolymerizing factor 2 (ADF2) proteins, which are involved in the regulation of auxin levels by auxin conjugation and transport. Additionally, proteins related to energetic supply, protein metabolism, cell wall remodeling, internal trafficking, and cell division were up-regulated, showing a significantly higher abundance in the embryogenic cultures incubated under WmB LED light than those incubated under fluorescent light.

Project description:To explore the adaptive mechanisms of soybean in lipid signalling and remodelling of metabolism following salt stress, lipid profiling was performed on leaves of seedlings from cultivar C08 which is a salt-sensitive variety. In our previous study, C08 seedlings showed leaf drooping at 0.5 h under high salt stress followed by recovery. To study if this phenomenon could be closely linked to the dynamic changes in membrane lipid composition, integrated proteomic and lipidomic analyses were conducted. To address protein function in response to salt, label-free quantitative (LFQ) proteomic analysis on salt-treated soybean seedling leaves was conducted. Our study identified putative enzymes or protein components involved in lipid regulation and provides a comprehensive understanding of lipid remodelling following salt treatment in soybean.
