Deciphering the biological processes underlying tomato biomass production and composition.

ABSTRACT: After tomato fruits harvesting huge amounts of biomass residues, including plant and immature fruit, remaining in the field can be utilized to produce bioenergy. Little is known about the molecular aspects underlying tomato plant biomass production and hydrolysis. To identify genes involved in the regulation of plant biomass accumulation and composition, two Solanum pennellii introgression lines (ILs) with contrasting phenotypes for plant architecture and biomass characteristics, were analyzed. A multiple approach aimed to characterize such near-isogenic lines was carried out for studying gene expression dynamics, microscopy cell traits and qualitative and quantitative cell wall chemical compounds variation. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the enhanced biomass production observed in IL2-6 line is due to a more effective coordination of chloroplast and mitochondria energy fluxes (photosynthesis, cell division, cell wall and hormone metabolism activation). In parallel, microscopy analysis revealed a higher number of cells and chloroplasts in leaf epidermis in the high biomass line whilst chemical measurements on the two lines pointed out striking differences in the cell wall composition and organization. Taken together, our findings shed light on the mechanisms underlying the tomato biomass production and open new routes for improving the tomato lignocellulosic processability.

Genome-wide analysis of Botrytis cinerea genes targeting plant cell walls of different hosts [tomato]

Project description:The cell wall is among the first plant structures encountered by necrotrophic fungal pathogens, such as Botrytis cinerea. The composition of plant cell walls varies depending on the species, type of cell or tissue, and stage of development. Cell walls are important reservoirs of energy-rich sugars for pathogens, but also are barriers that impair colonization of host tissues. Growing fungal hyphae secrete enzymes that hydrolyze cell wall polysaccharides. Degradation of wall polysaccharides provides nutrients for the pathogen and improves the access of secreted Botrytis enzymes to all host cell wall targets and cytoplasmic constituents. Destruction of host cell walls results in tissue maceration, a hallmark of diseases caused by Botrytis. The Botrytis genome encodes 1,155 predicted carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) genes; products of 275 are potentially secreted. Transcriptome sequencing identified Botrytis CAZy genes expressed during infections of lettuce leaves, ripe tomato fruit and grape berries. On all three hosts, Botrytis expresses a common group of 229 predicted CAZy genes including 28 pectin-modifying enzymes, 21 hemicellulose-modifying proteins, 18 enzymes targeting pectin and hemicellulose side-branches, and 16 enzymes that may degrade cellulose. Pectin polysaccharides are abundant in grape and tomato cell walls, but lettuce leaf walls are predominantly hemicelluloses and cellulose. These results suggest that Botrytis targets similar wall polysaccharide networks; e.g., pectins, on leaves and fruit, but also attacks unique host wall polysaccharide substrates The diversity of the Botrytis CAZy proteins may be partly responsible for its wide host range. 3 biological replicates consisting of groups of infected tomato fruits from different plants

C. saccharolyticus transcriptomes reveal consequences of chemical pre-treatment and genetic modification of lignocellulose

Project description:The genome of the lignocellulose-degrading, extremely thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus encodes genes comprising clusters of glycoside hydrolases, ABC transporters and metabolic enzymes that are transcriptionally responsive to carbohydrates. Transcriptomic and biosolubilization analyses were used to determine if C. saccharolyticus could be deployed as a probe to assess the characteristics of plant biomass feedstocks and efficacy of pre-treatment methods, as these both relate to deconstruction strategies for biofuels production. Based on the response of C. saccharolyticus to plant cell wall polysaccharides, genomic loci were identified that reflected the availability of cellulose, glucomannan, pectin and xylan in biomass to microbial degradation. Furthermore, these loci were useful in assessing how various plant biomass feedstocks (genetically and chemically modified Populus sp., unpretreated Populus sp., and chemically modified switchgrass) were amenable C. saccharolyticus solubilization.

The transcriptional regulation of a putative hemicellulose gene, PtrPARVUS2 in poplar

Project description:The plant cell wall serves as a critical interface between the plant and its environment, offering protection against various stresses and contributing to biomass production. Hemicellulose is one of the major components of the cell wall, and understanding the transcriptional regulation of its production is essential to fully understanding cell wall formation. This study explores the regulatory mechanisms underlying one of the genes involved in hemicellulose biosynthesis, PtrPARVUS2. Six transcription factors (TFs) were identified from a xylem-biased library to negatively regulate PtrPARVUS2 expression. These TFs, belonging to diverse TF families, were confirmed to bind to specific cis-elements in the PtrPARVUS2 promoter region, as validated by Yeast One-Hybrid (Y1H) assays, transient expression analysis, and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) assays. Furthermore, motif analysis identified putative cis-regulatory elements bound by these TFs, shedding light on the transcriptional regulation of SCW biosynthesis genes. Notably, several TFs targeted genes encoding uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases (UGTs), crucial enzymes involved in hemicellulose glycosylation. Phylogenetic analysis of UGTs regulated by these TFs highlighted their diverse roles in modulating hemicellulose synthesis. Overall, this study identifies a set of TFs that regulate Parvus2 in poplar, providing insights into the intricate coordination of TFs and PtrPARVUS2 in SCW formation. Understanding these regulatory mechanisms enhances our ability to engineer plant biomass for tailored applications, including biofuel production and bioproduct development.

Expression data from leaflets of domesticated tomato and wild-related Solanum pennellii plants subjected to water stress

Project description:Transcriptomics study which main goal is to elucidate the programme of gene expression triggered by water stress in leaflets of the drought-tolerant wild-related tomato Solanum pennellii (acc. PE47) compared with domesticated tomato (S. lycopersicum, cv. P73). In this study we used S. lycopersicum (Sl) (cv. P73) and S. pennellii (Sp) (acc. PE47) species displaying remarkable divergences regarding drought tolerance, to investigate the physiological and molecular responses in leaves of plants grown without stress (control) and after four days of water withholding (water stress, WS), when plant water loss was significant but leaves did not show visual dehydration symptoms yet. Significant physiological differences between species were found, showing Sp leaves higher ability to avoid water loss. Leaf transcriptomic analysis showed important constitutive expression differences between Sp and Sl, including genes with unknown function. In relation to the genes specifically induced by drought in Sp, those linked to stomatal closure, cell wall and primary carbohydrate metabolism and, specially, nitrogen metabolism were identified. Thus, genes linked to NH4+ assimilation, GOGAT/GS cycle and the GDH- and GABA-shunt were specifically induced by water stress in leaves of Sp. Our results showed also the up-regulation in Sp of genes involved in JA biosynthesis pathway, which were induced in both conditions, whereas genes involved in ET biosynthesis were specifically induced under WS. Regarding ET signaling, ERF genes were up-regulated by WS in Sp, hinting at the importance of these transcriptional regulators in the drought response of Sp.

Arabidopsis thaliana Growth is Negatively Regulated by the Class III Peroxidase AtPrx71 during Development and in Response to Cell Wall Damage

Project description:The cell wall is a crucial structure in plant cells, and modifications in its composition often have a major impact on growth and development. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the negative effects of cell wall alterations on plant growth are largely unknown. It was previously shown that a reduction in the levels of de-esterified homogalacturonan, a major pectin component of cell walls, in Arabidopsis thaliana plants expressing a fungal polygalacturonase or mutated in the QUASIMODO2 gene (qua2-1 plants), cause severe growth defects. Here we show that the class III peroxidase AtPrx71 is strongly up-regulated in these plants, as well as in response to alterations of other wall structural components, including treatments the cellulose synthase inhibitor isoxaben. Analysis of atprx71 loss-of-function mutants and of plants overexpressing AtPrx71 indicates that this gene negatively affects Arabidopsis growth at different stages of development. Furthermore, lack of AtPrx71 partially suppresses the dwarf phenotype of qua2-1, suggesting that this protein contributes to the growth defects observed in plants undergoing cell wall damage. AtPrx71 appears to promote the production of reactive oxygen species in qua2-1 plants, as well as in plants treated with isoxaben. We propose that production of reactive oxygen species mediated by AtPrx71 negatively regulates Arabidopsis growth both during physiological development and in response to loss of cell wall integrity. Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana wt control plants and PG57 and PG26 transgenic lines overexpressing the AtPrx71 gene.
