Meta-Topolin-induced mass shoot multiplication and biosynthesis of valuable secondary metabolites in Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni bioreactor culture.

ABSTRACT: Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni possesses various medicinal and food industrial applications. This study is the first to explore the effect of the cytokinins meta-Topolin (mT; 6-(3-hydroxybenzylamino) purine), zeatin, kinetin, and BAP (6-benzylaminopurine) at concentrations of 0 (control), 5, 10, and 15 µM on shoot multiplication, as well as stevioside, rebaudioside A, phenolic acid, and flavonoid content in bioreactor cultures. The highest number of shoots (23.4 per explant) was obtained in the medium containing 5 μM of mT. However, 15 μM of mT was superior for fresh biomass production and dry biomass accumulation. Reversed-phase (RP)-HPLC analysis showed a beneficial effect of 5 μM mT on stevioside (11.43 mg/g dry weight [DW]) and rebaudioside A (10.74 mg/g DW) biosynthesis. In all conditions, the ratio of rebaudioside A/stevioside ranged from 0.75 to 1.12. The phenolic acids chlorogenic, neochlorogenic, isochlorogenic A, and rosmarinic were confirmed in the stevia extracts, as were the flavonoids isoquercetin, and quercitrin. The highest accumulations of chlorogenic and neochlorogenic acids and flavonoids were observed in shoot tissues derived from 5 µM mT, whereas 5 µM of BAP stimulated biosynthesis of chlorogenic, isochlorogenic A, and rosmarinic acids. This is the first report on the use of mT-cytokinin showing high potential in stevia cultures.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a family of small RNA (sRNA) population that regulates the gene expression and plays an important role in plant development, metabolism, signal transduction and stress response. Extensive studies on miRNAs have been performed in different plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa etc. and volume of the miRNA database, mirBASE, has been increasing on day to day basis. Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is an important perennial herb which accumulates high concentrations of diterpene steviol glycosides which contributes to its high indexed sweetening property with no calorific value. Several studies have been carried out for understanding molecular mechanism involved in biosynthesis of these glycosides, however, information about miRNAs has been lacking in S. rebaudiana. Deep sequencing of small RNAs combined with transcriptomic data is a powerful tool for identifying conserved and novel miRNAs irrespective of availability of genome sequence data.ResultsTo identify miRNAs in S. rebaudiana, sRNA library was constructed and sequenced using Illumina genome analyzer II. A total of 30,472,534 reads representing 2,509,190 distinct sequences were obtained from sRNA library. Based on sequence similarity, we identified 100 miRNAs belonging to 34 highly conserved families. Also, we identified 12 novel miRNAs whose precursors were potentially generated from stevia EST and nucleotide sequences. All novel sequences have not been earlier described in other plant species. Putative target genes were predicted for most conserved and novel miRNAs. The predicted targets are mainly mRNA encoding enzymes regulating essential plant metabolic and signaling pathways.ConclusionsThis study led to the identification of 34 highly conserved miRNA families and 12 novel potential miRNAs indicating that specific miRNAs exist in stevia species. Our results provided information on stevia miRNAs and their targets building a foundation for future studies to understand their roles in key stevia traits.
