Integrated Physiological, Transcriptomic, and Metabolomic Analyses of the Response of Peach to Nitrogen Levels during Different Growth Stages.

ABSTRACT: This study performed physiological, transcriptome, and metabolite analyses of peach fruit under different nitrogen (N) conditions at different growth stages. Nitrogen management directly affected the yield, fruit quality, and metabolites of peach in different growth stages. Different fertilizing time influenced yield and leaf N concentration. RNA-Seq was used to analyze the influence of N levels at the fruit pit hardening (PH) and fruit expansion (FE) stages. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to carbon and nitrogen metabolite processes. Metabolome analysis shows that applying different nitrogen fertilizers at different growth stages of peach mainly affected metabolites related to carbon and amino acids. This research provides insight into the metabolic processes underlying different N responses during different growth stages and provides a foundation to improve the efficiency of N use in peach.

Project description:The accumulation of aniline in the natural environment poses a potential threat to crops, and thus, investigating the effects of aniline on plants holds practical implications for agricultural engineering and its affiliated industries. This study combined physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic methods to investigate the growth status and molecular-level response mechanisms of rice under stress from varying concentrations of aniline. At a concentration of 1 mg/L, aniline exhibited a slight growth-promoting effect on rice. However, higher concentrations of aniline significantly inhibited rice growth and even caused notable damage to the rice seedlings. Physiological data indicated that under aniline stress, the membrane of rice underwent oxidative damage. Furthermore, when the concentration of aniline was excessively high, the cells suffered severe damage, resulting in the inhibition of antioxidant enzyme synthesis and activity. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses indicated that the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway became quite active under aniline stress, with alterations in various enzymes and metabolites related to lignin synthesis. In addition to the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and purine metabolism were also critical pathways related to rice's response to aniline stress. Significant changes occurred in the expression levels of multiple genes (e.g., PRX, C4H, GST, and ilvH, among others) associated with functions such as antioxidant activity, membrane remodeling, signal transduction, and nitrogen supply. Similarly, notable alterations were observed in the accumulation of various metabolites (for instance, glutamic acid, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylglycerol, and asparagine, etc.) related to these functions. Our research findings have unveiled the potential of compounds such as phenylpropanoids and amino acids in assisting rice to cope with aniline stress. A more in-depth and detailed exploration of the specific mechanisms by which these substances function in the process of plant resistance to aniline stress (for instance, utilizing carbon-14 isotope tracing to monitor the metabolic pathway of aniline within plants) will facilitate the cultivation of plant varieties that are resistant to aniline. This will undoubtedly benefit activities such as ensuring food production and quality in aniline-contaminated environments, as well as utilizing plants for the remediation of aniline-polluted environments.

Project description:Nitrogen nutrition participates in many physiological processes and understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms of apple responses to nitrogen is very significant for improving apple quality. This study excavated crucial genes that regulates sugar metabolism in response to nitrogen in apples through physiology and transcriptome analysis, so as to lay a theoretical foundation for improving fruit quality. In this paper, the content of sugar and organic acid in apple fruit at different developmental periods under different nitrogen levels (0, 150, 300, and 600 kg·hm-2) were determined. Then, the transcriptomic analysis was performed in 120 days after bloom (DAB) and 150 DAB. The results showed that the fructose and glucose content were the highest at 120 DAB under 600 kg·hm-2 nitrogen level. Meanwhile, different nitrogen treatments decreased malate content in 30 and 60 DAB. RNA-seq analysis revealed a total of 4537 UniGenes were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under nitrogen treatments. Among these DEGs, 2362 (52.06%) were up-regulated and 2175 (47.94%) were down-regulated. The gene co-expression clusters revealed that most DEGs were significantly annotated in the photosynthesis, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, pyruvate metabolism, carbon metabolism, carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms and plant hormone signal transduction pathways. The key transcription factor genes (ERF, NAC, WRKY, and C2H2 genes) were differentially expressed in apple fruit. Sugar and acid metabolism-related genes (e.g., HXK1, SPS4, SS2, PPC16-2, and MDH2 genes) exhibited significantly up-regulated expression at 120 DAB, whereas they were down-regulated at 150 DAB. Furthermore, the MdSPS4 gene overexpression positively promoted sucrose accumulation in apple callus and fruit. In conclusion, the combinational analysis of transcriptome and the functional validation of the MdSPS4 gene provides new insights into apple responses to different nitrogen levels.
