Tomato root culture and Al treatment

ABSTRACT: cDNA microarrays (Tom 1) were used to analyze changes in transcript accumulation in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv Money Maker) root cultures under Al-stress (20uM AlK(SO4)2). Out of the 1,362 genes that had significant changes in transcript accumulation (FDR<0.05), 569 were reduced and 793 were induced. The down-regulated genes included those found in the cell cycle (p34cdc2 protein kinase, cyclin, histone), putriscine synthesis, ABC transporter, germin-like protein. Al-induced genes included glutamate synthase, pectin modification, histidine synthesis, proline synthesis, metallothionein-like protein, multidrug efflux proteins (MATE), ethylene biosynthesis and detoxification proteins. Different isoforms in the multiple gene families of V-ATPase, glutathione transferases and others were either induced or repressed. A wide array of genes for regulating transcription and translation activities, and signal transduction were also affected.

Project description:Large-scale gene expression affected by salt stress was analyzed with tomato seedlings (Lycoperson esculentum Mill cv. Money Maker) by a cDNA microarray (Tom1). The significantly differentially expressed genes (5% Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate) consisted of 1757 sequences in the analyzed tissues (cotyledons + shoot tip). Genes with over 2 fold difference were selected from the list and further categorized into different function and cellular processes. Tomato homologous genes for the chaperone proteins, antioxidant enzymes (catalase and peroxidase), and ion transporters (Na+-driven multidrug efflux pump, vacuolar ATPase, and others) were induced. The ACC oxidase and ethylene-responsive gene tomato homologs had higher transcript level after salt treatment. Multiple members with different expression patterns were identified for the bZIP, WRKY, and MADS-box transcription regulator. Different genes in the signal transduction pathway, such as the protein kinases (Shaggy kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase, ethylene receptor neverripe, and others), protein phosphatases, calmodulin, G-protein, and the N- myristoyltransferase, were regulated by salt stress. Most of the protease and the inhibitor homologs were suppressed by salt stress. In addition, different isoforms of cytochrome P450, genes for polyamine biosynthesis (putrescine and proline) and detoxification compounds (glutathione and thioredoxin), several key enzyme genes in the metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fatty acids, were also affected by salt treatment. This study has provided a set of candidate genes, especially those in the regulatory machinery that can be further investigated to define salt stress in tomato and other plant species.
