The different tolerance to magnesium deficiency of two grapevine rootstocks relies on the ability to cope with oxidative stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnesium (Mg) deficiency causes physiological and molecular responses, already dissected in several plant species. The study of these responses among genotypes showing a different tolerance to the Mg shortage can allow identifying the mechanisms underlying the resistance to this nutritional disorder. To this aim, we compared the physiological and molecular responses (e.g. changes in root metabolome and transcriptome) of two grapevine rootstocks exhibiting, in field, different behaviors with respect to Mg shortage (1103P, tolerant and SO4 susceptible).

Results

The two grapevine rootstocks confirmed, in a controlled growing system, their behavior in relation to the tolerance to Mg deficiency. Differences in metabolite and transcriptional profiles between the roots of the two genotypes were mainly linked to antioxidative compounds and the cell wall constituents. In addition, differences in secondary metabolism, in term of both metabolites (e.g. alkaloids, terpenoids and phenylpropanoids) and transcripts, assessed between 1103P and SO4 suggest a different behavior in relation to stress responses particularly at early stages of Mg deficiency.

Conclusions

Our results suggested that the higher ability of 1103P to tolerate Mg shortage is mainly linked to its capability of coping, faster and more efficiently, with the oxidative stress condition caused by the nutritional disorder.

Project description:BackgroundIn viticulture, iron (Fe) chlorosis is a common abiotic stress that impairs plant development and leads to yield and quality losses. Under low availability of the metal, the applied N form (nitrate and ammonium) can play a role in promoting or mitigating Fe deficiency stresses. However, the processes involved are not clear in grapevine. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the response of two grapevine rootstocks to the interaction between N forms and Fe uptake. This process was evaluated in a hydroponic experiment using two ungrafted grapevine rootstocks Fercal (Vitis berlandieri x V. vinifera) tolerant to deficiency induced Fe chlorosis and Couderc 3309 (V. riparia x V. rupestris) susceptible to deficiency induced Fe chlorosis.ResultsThe results could differentiate Fe deficiency effects, N-forms effects, and rootstock effects. Interveinal chlorosis of young leaves appeared earlier on 3309 C from the second week of treatment with NO3-/NH4+ (1:0)/-Fe, while Fercal leaves showed less severe symptoms after four weeks of treatment, corresponding to decreased chlorophyll concentrations lowered by 75% in 3309 C and 57% in Fercal. Ferric chelate reductase (FCR) activity was by trend enhanced under Fe deficiency in Fercal with both N combinations, whereas 3309 C showed an increase in FCR activity under Fe deficiency only with NO3-/NH4+ (1:1) treatment. With the transcriptome analysis, Gene Ontology (GO) revealed multiple biological processes and molecular functions that were significantly regulated in grapevine rootstocks under Fe-deficient conditions, with more genes regulated in Fercal responses, especially when both forms of N were supplied. Furthermore, the expression of genes involved in the auxin and abscisic acid metabolic pathways was markedly increased by the equal supply of both forms of N under Fe deficiency conditions. In addition, changes in the expression of genes related to Fe uptake, regulation, and transport reflected the different responses of the two grapevine rootstocks to different N forms.ConclusionsResults show a clear contribution of N forms to the response of the two grapevine rootstocks under Fe deficiency, highlighting the importance of providing both N forms (nitrate and ammonium) in an appropriate ratio in order to ease the rootstock responses to Fe deficiency.

Project description:Since the roots of grapevine rootstocks have a direct contact with drying soil and has an important role in abiotic stimuli, any plasticity on the architecture of the rootstocks would enable grapevine varieties to a better respond to drought stress. However, genomics evidences behind the physiological responses of rootstocks under prolonged drought stress are poorly documented in the literature. In the current study, eight widely used hybrid grapevine rootstocks in viticulture were firstly grafted with sultana seedless and subjected to drought stress to test their physiological and biochemical responses. The results of experiment indicated that the roots of V.rupestris X V.berlandieri (110 R, 1103P, 140 Ru) rootstocks possessed much higher water content as well as non-structural carbohydrate and nitrogen concentrations compared to V.riparia X V.berlandieri (SO4, 5BB, 420A, 8B) and V.vinifera X V.berlandieri (41B) hybrids under drought. V.rupestris X V.berlandieri hybrids were also performed much higher root elongation performance under drought compared to other rootstock hybrids. Three rootstock varieties (110R, 5BB and 41B) having different pedigrees and root architectural responses to drought were also investigated at transcriptome level to find out gene regulation network behind differential physiological responses to drought. Transcriptome analysis revealed 2795, 1196 and 1612 differentially expressed transcripts for the roots of 110R, 5BB and 41B, respectively. The highest expression increases in 110R compared to other rootstocks were recorded for the transcripts functional in carbohydrate (SWEET14, CWINV) and nitrate/peptide (NRT1/ PTR FAMILY) transportation as well as osmoregulation (dehydrins, osmotins, LEAs and proline-glycine rich proteins) during drought. Higher induction of these genes in the roots of tolerant 110R genotype indicated importance of efficient uptake of carbohydrate and nitrogen source released from canopy under drought and preservation of water with osmotic regulation on the root elongation and drought tolerance of grapevines. Expression increases in several other pathogenesis related proteins, regulation of cell wall modification enzymes and activity of several secondary metabolites have been also associated to altered root architecture and drought tolerance in the grapevine rootstocks for the first time with the current study.
