Project description:Drought poses a significant limitation to crop yield. The nuclear Cap Binding Complex (CBC), made up of CBP20 and CBP80, plays a key role in regulating pre-mRNA splicing and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. In this study, we examined how mutations in the barley CBC genes (hvcbp20.ab, hvcbp80.b, and the double mutant hvcbp20.ab/hvcbp80.b) affect physiological and transcriptomic responses to drought stress during the booting stage. The mutants exhibited both common and unique mechanisms of drought adaptation. Transcriptome analysis showed that loss of HvCBP80 function markedly suppressed gene transcription and splicing but activated photosynthesis-associated genes, leading to improved photosynthetic performance under both normal and drought conditions. In contrast, HvCBP20 mutation enhanced the expression of ABA-responsive genes and sustained stress-related signaling. On a physiological level, hvcbp20.ab mutants maintained higher stomatal conductance despite having fewer stomata, while hvcbp80.b mutants exhibited reduced conductance under optimal conditions but formed wider stomata during drought. Although these mutations improved certain drought avoidance traits and photosynthetic capacity, they did not translate into gains in yield-related characteristics. Altogether, our results highlight the nuclear CBC as a central modulator of drought responses and recovery in barley, capable of reprogramming gene expression to support enhanced stress resilience. Here we deposit plant samples after drought stress treatment and after rewatering

Project description:The urgent need to address water scarcity underscores the importance of enhancing plant drought resistance. This study investigates whether pretreatment with abscisic acid (ABA) activates early stress signaling, thereby improving barley drought response when subsequently exposed to drought conditions. Although the individual responses to drought and ABA are well-documented, their synergistic effects in barley warrant further investigation. This study examines the impact of ABA on barley drought resilience through an experimental design that incorporates four distinct treatments: optimal watering, ABA application at 60 days post-sowing, and two drought stress treatments - one with and the other without prior ABA application. Key physiological parameters, such as photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and chlorophyll content, were analyzed in conjunction with transcriptomics. The results suggest that ABA pretreatment initiates early stomatal closure and elevates the expression of essential genes like NCED1, BG8, and HvA22, priming barley for improved drought resistance. During the drought, ABA-pre-treated barley maintained high chlorophyll levels, indicating sustained photosynthetic activity, a trend that persisted across treatments during the post-drought recovery phase. Furthermore, ABA pre-treatment was found to preserve photosystem II efficiency during drought conditions. Transcriptomic analyses revealed distinct gene expression profiles, alternative splicing profile and isoform switching, highlighting the molecular complexities of ABA role in drought response. These alterations span stress response, metabolic pathways, and DNA modification processes, providing a comprehensive view of ABA treatment's regulatory and metabolic impacts. In conclusion, ABA pretreatment strengthens barley drought defense by fostering stomatal closure and gene activation, guiding research strategies grounded in ABA and suggesting that genotypes with elevated ABA levels could have enhanced resilience and recovery capabilities.

Project description:In this study, we used transcriptomic and hormonomic approaches to examine drought-induced changes in barley roots and leaves and its rhizosphere. By studying hormonal responses, alternative splicing events in barley, and changes in the rhizosphere microbiome, we aimed to provide a comprehensive view of barley drought-adaptive mechanisms and potential plant-microbe interactions under drought stress. This approach improved our understanding of barley adaptive strategies and highlighted the importance of considering plant-microbe interactions in the context of climate change.

Project description:CBP20 (Cap-Binding Protein 20) encodes a small subunit of the cap-binding complex (CBC), which is involved in the conserved cell processes related to RNA metabolism in plants and, simultaneously, engaged in the signaling network of drought response, which is dependent on ABA. CBP20 (Cap-Binding Protein 20), which encodes a small subunit of the cap-binding complex (CBC). CBC is a heterodimer that is formed by two subunits – a small one that is encoded by CBP20 and a large subunit that is encoded by CBP80 (Cap-Binding Protein 80). Both the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of CBP20 are highly conserved across species from Saccharomyces to Homo sapiens. CBP20 is involved in very conserved cell processes that are related to RNA metabolism such as polyadenylation and splicing, miRNA biogenesis, and according to the most recent reports, to histone methylation (Kuhn et al. 2008; Kim et al. 2008; Gregory et al. 2008; Kmieciak et al. 2002; Laubinger et al. 2008; Li et al. 2016). Most striking, however, is its simultaneous engagement in ABA signaling during seed germination and drought response (Papp et al. 2004; Jäger et al. 2011). It was shown that an Arabidopsis cbp20 mutant exhibited a hypersensitivity to ABA during seed germination and a better performance under water deficit conditions than the WT (Papp et al. 2004; Jäger et al. 2011). Interestingly, the Arabidopsis knockout mutant in CBP80 (Cap-Binding Protein 80; ABA hypersensitive 1) exhibited a similar phenotype when exposed to ABA or drought stress (Hugouvieux et al. 2001; 2002; Daszkowska-Golec et al. 2013). In Solanum tuberosum, an amiR80.2-14 mutant (CBP80 silenced using artificial microRNAs) was also reported to be drought tolerant (Pieczyński et al. 2013). Water-deficiency conditions related gene expression analysis was performed in barley in two genotypes: the wild-type (WT) barley cultivar 'Sebastian’ and hvcbp20.ab mutant; in three time points: (1) optimal water conditions, (2) onset of drought stress and (3) after 10 days of prolonged drought stress in the second leaf; analyses were performed in three biological replicates. Here, we report the enhanced tolerance to drought stress of barley mutant in the HvCBP20 gene.Transcriptome analysis using the Agilent Barley Microarray integrated with observed phenotypic traits allowed to conclude that the hvcbp20.ab mutant exhibited better fitness to stress conditions by its much more efficient and earlier activation of stress-preventing mechanisms. The network hubs involved in the adjustment of hvcbp20.ab mutant to the drought conditions were proposed. These results enabled to make a significant progress in understanding the role of CBP20 in the drought stress response.

Project description:Drought stress can damage crop growth and lead to a decline in yield, thereby affecting food security, especially in regions vulnerable to climate change. SNAC1 (Stress-responsive NAC1), the NAC transcription factor family member, plays a crucial role in stomatal movement regulation. Effective regulation of stomatal movement is essential for protecting plants from water loss during adverse conditions. Our hypothesis revolves around altering HvSNAC1 activity by introducing a point mutation in its encoding gene, thereby influencing stomatal dynamics in barley. Two TILLING mutants, each harboring missense mutations in the NAC domain, exhibited higher stomatal density after drought stress compared to the parent cultivar 'Sebastian'. These mutants also demonstrated distinct patterns of ABA-induced stomatal movement compared to the ’Sebastian’. To delve deeper, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptomes of these mutants and the parent cultivar 'Sebastian' under both optimal watering conditions and ten days of drought stress treatment. We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the mutants and ‘Sebastian’ under control and drought conditions. Furthermore, we pinpointed DEGs specifically expressed in both mutants under drought conditions. Our experiments revealed that the cis-regulatory motif CACG, previously identified in Arabidopsis and rice, is recognized by HvSNAC1 in vitro. Enrichment analysis led to the identification of the cell wall organization category and potential target genes, such as HvEXPA8 (Expansin 8), HvXTH (Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase), and HvPAE9 (Pectin acetylesterase 9), suggesting their regulation by HvSNAC1. These findings suggest that HvSNAC1 may play a role in regulating genes associated with stomatal density, size, and reopening.

Project description:Drought is a harsh abiotic stress, with plants possessing diverse strategies to survive periods of limited water resources. Although previous research has established links between strigolactone (SL) and drought, in this study, we used the barley (Hordeum vulgare) SL-insensitive mutant hvd14 (dwarf14) to scrutinize the SL-dependent mechanisms associated with water deficit response. We have employed a comprehensive approach integrating transcriptome, proteome, phytohormone analyses, and physiological data to unravel differences between wild-type and hvd14 plants when responding to drought.

Project description:To address the lack of information on the function of CBC in the ABA signaling pathway during seed germination in barley, we employed TILLING to identify mutants of the genes hvcbp20.ab and hvcbp80.b and subsequently created the double mutant hvcbp20.ab/hvcbp80.b. We found that mutations in both CBC subunits resulted in a unique ABA response that differed from that of single mutants. Through transcriptomic analyses, we identified differential gene expression and alternative splicing patterns. Notably, the hvcbp20.ab/hvcbp80.b double mutant exhibited altered AS regulation and significant changes in brassinosteroid signaling following ABA exposure. Seeds were sterilized in 20% sodium hypochlorite solution for 20 min and washed with sterilized water for 5 min. They were then placed in Petri dishes with three layers of filters and treated with either sterilized water or sterilized water containing 75 μM ABA (cis-trans-abscisic acid; catalog no. 862169; Sigma-Aldrich). The seeds were stratified for 4 d at 4°C and then transferred to a growth chamber. Germination was defined as the visible emergence of the radicle through the seed coat and was assessed on 1 and 7 DAI (Days After Imbibition). The assay was performed in three biological replicates, each comprising 30 seeds of each genotype per petri dish. At 1 DAI, the embryos were isolated from the endosperm using a sharp scalpel blade, placed in microcentrifuge tubes (Eppendorf) containing RNAlater reagent, and stored at 4°C until RNA isolation. RNA was isolated using the mirVana™ Isolation Kit (Ambion, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA was isolated in four biological replicates, each consisting of 20 embryos. In total, 32 RNA samples were extracted. RNA concentration and quality were assessed using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, USA) and Agilent Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA). We used grains and embryos of barley TILLING mutants: the hvcbp20.ab, in the CBP20 gene (CAP-BINDING PROTEIN 20; BaRT2v18chr6HG306340; 41,42), and hvcbp80.b, in the CBP80 gene (CAP-BINDING PROTEIN 80; BaRT2v18chr4HG195950), single mutants, the hvcbp20.ab/hvcbp80.b double mutant, and the 'Sebastian' wild-type (WT), all sourced from the HorTILLUS population 91. Single mutants were identified through TILLING in the M2 generation (then backcrossed with WT to clean the genetic background), and the double mutant was isolated from the F2 progeny following crossbreeding of the single mutants

Project description:The spatial transcriptomic analysis of barley embryos in response to 75 µM ABA was investigated using Visium Spatial Transcriptomics (10×Genomics) technology. Embryo sections were collected from wild-type 'Sebastian' and a double mutant hvcbp20.ab/hvcbp80.b impaired in both subunits of the Cap-Binding Complex (CBC): CBP20 and CBP80 at 1 day after imbibition (DAI) under control and 75 µM ABA conditions. Cryosectioned tissues were stained, mounted on Visium slides, and processed for spatial gene expression profiling. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform (paired-end, 151 bp). The data were aligned to the barley reference genome (cv. MorexV3) and used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across six distinguished embryonic regions: coleoptile, cotyledon, mesocotyl, plumule, scutellum, and radicle. The dataset provides insights into the spatial regulation of ABA-responsive genes in embryos during barley seed germination.
