Glycosyltransferase-like RSE1 negatively regulates leaf senescence by modulating salicylic acid signaling in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: Leaf senescence is a developmental process designed for nutrient recycling and relocation to maximize growth competence and reproductive capacity of plants. Thus, plants integrate developmental and environmental signals to precisely control senescence. However, it remains largely elusive as to how plants coordinate genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic pathways for the regulation of senescence. To genetically dissect the complex regulatory mechanism underlying leaf senescence, we identified an early leaf senescence mutant, rse1. RSE1 encodes a putative glycosyltranferase. Loss-of-function mutations in RSE1 resulted in precocious leaf yellowing and up-regulation of senescence maker genes, indicating enhanced leaf senescence. Transcriptome analysis revealed that salicylic acid (SA) and defense signaling cascades were activated in rse1 prior to the onset of leaf senescence. In agreement with the phenotypes, we found that SA accumulation was significantly increased in rse1. We also discovered that the rse1 phenotypes are dependent on SA-INDUCTION DEFICIENT 2 (SID2), indicating a role of SA in accelerated leaf senescence in rse1. Furthermore, RSE1 protein was localized to the cell walls, and rse1 displayed increased glucose contents in the cell walls, implying a possible link between the cell walls and RSE1 function. Together, we show that RSE1 negatively modulate leaf senescence through an SID2-dependent SA signaling pathway.

Project description:SA0420 is a stable rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutant exhibits multiple traits including a leaf-tip yellowing (YLT), a taro fragrance (or aroma, A), a reduced panicle number (PN), spikelet number (SN), plant height (PH), days to heading (DH), filled grain weight (FGW), and fertility rate (FR), different from those of a local cultivar TNG67. Correlation analysis on F2 progenies of SA0420 and TNG67 revealed that except for aroma which is inheritated independently, phenotypes including YLT, PN, SN, PH, and FGW are tightly associated with each others, indicating a control simultaneously by pleotropic gene. Among those phenotypes, YLT appears the earliest at vegetative stage, therefore may act as a predisposing factor that give rise to other phenotypes. Genetic analysis suggested that YLT is controlled by a single recessive gene. By analyzing the recombinant inbreed lines (RILs) that produce YLT and normal green (G) progenies in a 1:3 ratio, the phenotypes associated with YLT were further confirmed. To investigate the molecular events of leaf-tip yellowing, microarray analyses were performed to compare the gene expression profiles between YLT and G plants of RILs. Clustering of genes according to their involved metabolic pathways revealed that various photosynthesis and carbon fixation gene expressions are lower (~55~75%) in YLT than in G plants, consistent with the observation that photosynthesis rate of SA0420 was only 60% to that of TNG67. Moreover, higher expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related genes indicated that not only the reduced synthesis rate but also the elevated energy consumptions may synergistically decrease the growth vigor of SA0420. Dissection of the mature leaf revealed that chlorophyll is drastically reduced in the leaf-tip of SA0420 while carotenoids remain stable. This explains the appearance of leaf-tip yellowing and recall an analogy of early senescence. Indeed, many senescence-associated genes (SAG) were found to be up-regulated in SA0420. Experiment Overall Design: To investigate the molecular events of leaf-tip yellowing, microarray analyses were performed to compare the gene expression profiles between YLT and G plants of RILs.

Project description:We investigated the relationships of the two immune-regulatory plant metabolites salicylic acid (SA) and pipecolic acid (Pip) in the establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in Arabidopsis thaliana induced by the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. To characterize the transcriptional SAR response, we used wild-type Col-0 plants, SA-deficient sid2 plants and Pip-deficient ald1 plants and performed RNA-sequencing analyses (Bernsdorff et al., Plant Cell, 2016). SAR establishment in the wild-type is characterized by a strong transcriptional response systemically induced in the foliage that prepares plants for future pathogen attack by pre-activating multiple stages of defense signaling. Whereas systemic Pip elevations are indispensable for SAR and necessary for virtually the whole transcriptional SAR response, a moderate but significant SA-independent component of SAR activation and SAR gene expression is revealed. Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown individually in pots containing a mixture of soil, vermiculite and sand (8:1:1) in a controlled cultivation chamber with a 10-h day (9 AM to 7 PM; photon flux density 100 mol m-2 s-1) / 14-h night cycle and a relative humidity of 70 %. Day and night temperatures were set to 21C and 18C, respectively. Experiments were performed with 5- to 6-week-old, naive plants exhibiting a uniform appearance. To activate SAR, plants were infiltrated between 10 AM and 12 AM into three lower (1) leaves with suspensions of the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola (OD600 = 0.005). Infiltration with 10 mM MgCl2 served as the mock-control treatment. Upper (2) leaves were harvested 48 h after the primary treatment for the determination of systemic gene expression by RNA-seq analyses. Three biologically independent, replicate SAR induction experiments were performed with Col-0 and sid2 plants (experimental set 1), and three other biologically independent experiments with Col-0 and ald1 plants (experimental set 2). In each SAR experiment, at least 6 upper (2) leaves from 6 different plants pre-treated in 1 leaves with Psm (MgCl2) were pooled for one biological Psm- (mock-control) replicate. In this way, 3 biologically independent, replicate samples per treatment and plant genotype were obtained within each SAR set.
