Effects of root applied glutathione (GSH) on gene expression profile in the root of Brassica napus

ABSTRACT: Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide involved in controlling heavy metal movement in plants. Our previous study demonstrated that GSH, applied to plant roots site-specifically, inhibited Cd translocation from roots to shoots in oilseed rape plants (Brassica napus) cultured hydroponically. One of the factors of this inhibitory effect was due to activation of Cd efflux from root cells. To investigate the molecular mechanism triggered by root applied GSH in more detail, the Cd movement was monitored non-invasively using a positron-emitting tracer imaging system (PETIS). The Cd absorption and efflux process in roots were visualized successfully. The effects of GSH on Cd efflux from root cells were estimated by analyzing obtained imaging data. Another image analysis suggested that Cd return was activated by GSH, applied to roots, at the shoot base. Cutting the shoot base of oilseed rape plants significantly inhibited Cd efflux from root cells. These experimental results demonstrated the shoot base is playing important roles in distributing Cd in the plant bodies. Furthermore, DNA microarray analysis revealed that over 300 genes in the roots of oilseed rape plants responded to root applied GSH. Among them, transporter proteins, related to heavy metal movement in plants, and proteins related to changing the structure of cell walls were involved.

Effect of foliar GSH treatment on gene expression profile in the root of Brassica napus

Project description:Glutathione is a tripeptide involved in diverse aspects of plant metabolism. We investigated how the reduced form of glutathione, GSH, applied site-specifically to plants, affects zinc (Zn) distribution and behavior in oilseed rape plants (Brassica napus) cultured hydroponically. Foliar-applied GSH significantly increased the Zn content in shoots and the root-to-shoot Zn translocation ratio; furthermore, this treatment raised the Zn concentration in the cytosol of root cells and substantially enhanced Zn xylem loading. Notably, microarray analysis revealed that the gene encoding pectin methylesterase was upregulated in roots following foliar GSH treatment. We conclude that certain physiological signals triggered in response to foliar-applied GSH were transported via sieve tubes and functioned in root cells, which, in turn, increased Zn availability in roots by releasing Zn from their cell wall. Consequently, root-to-shoot translocation of Zn was activated and Zn accumulation in the shoot was markedly increased.

Shoot-to-root mobile CEPD-like 2 integrates shoot nitrogen status to systemically regulate nitrate uptake in Arabidopsis

Project description:Plants modulate the efficiency of root nitrogen (N) acquisition in response to shoot N demand. However, molecular components directly involved in this shoot-to-root communication remain to be identified. Here, we show that phloem-mobile CEPD-like 2 (CEPDL2) polypeptide is upregulated in the leaf vasculature in response to decreased shoot N status and, after translocation to the roots, promotes high-affinity uptake and root-to-shoot transport of nitrate by activating nitrate transporter genes such as NRT2.1, NRT3.1 and NRT1.5. Loss of CEPDL2 decreases nitrate uptake and root-to-shoot transport activity in roots, leading to a reduction in shoot nitrate content and plant biomass. CEPDL2 contributes to N acquisition cooperatively with CEPD1 and CEPD2 that mediate root N status, and their complete loss severely impairs N homeostasis in plants. Reciprocal grafting analysis provided conclusive evidence that the shoot CEPDL2/CEPD genotype defines the root high-affinity uptake activity of nitrate. Our results indicate that plants integrate shoot N status and root N status in leaves and systemically regulate the efficiency of root N acquisition.

Leptosphaeria maculans gene expression during in vitro growth and primary oilseed rape leaf infection

Project description:The transcriptome of Leptosphaeria maculans was analyzed in mycelium and during oilseed rape (Brassica napus) leaf infection. The array probes were designed from gene models from the L. maculans whole genome annotation. One aim of this study was to verify the expression of the automatically annotated gene models in various conditions. Another goal was to monitor gene expression profiles during oilseed rape leaf infection and to highlight tissue-specific transcripts, e.g. in plant up-regulated transcripts, for further analyses. We performed 9 hybridizations (NimbleGen) with samples derived from mycelium and infected oilseed rape leaves. Samples from infected oilseed rape leaves were harvested 7 and 14 days post infection. Three replicates each. All samples were labeled with Cy3.

Redox regulation of auxin and strigolactone signaling in the control of Arabidopsis thaliana root growth

Project description:Reduced glutathione (GSH) is required for cell cycle initiation and auxin-regulated root meristem development. Transcriptome profiling of the roots and shoots of the root meristemless 1 (rml1) mutant, which has about 3% of the wild type GSH, revealed a divergent auxin and strigolactone response linked to the arrest of the cell cycle. Plants of the rml1 mutant and Columbia-0 ecotype were harvested and separated into roots and shoots, then RNA extraction and Affymetrix Agronomics Tiling Array were performed.

Root avoidance of toxic metals requires the GeBP-LIKE 4 transcription factor in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Plants reorganize their root architecture to avoid growth into unfavorable regions of the rhizosphere. In a screen based on chimeric repressor gene-silencing technology, we identified the Arabidopsis thaliana GeBP-LIKE 4 (GPL4) transcription factor as an inhibitor of root growth that is induced rapidly in root tips in response to cadmium (Cd). We tested the hypothesis that GPL4 functions in the root avoidance of Cd by analyzing root proliferation in split medium, in which only half of the medium contained toxic concentrations of Cd. The wild-type (WT) plants exhibited root avoidance by inhibiting root growth in the Cd side but increasing root biomass in the control side. By contrast, GPL4-suppression lines exhibited nearly comparable root growth in the Cd and control sides and accumulated more Cd in the shoots than did the WT. GPL4 suppression also altered the root avoidance of toxic concentrations of other essential metals, modulated the expression of many genes related to oxidative stress, and consistently decreased reactive oxygen species concentrations. We suggest that GPL4 inhibits the growth of roots exposed to toxic metals by modulating reactive oxygen species concentrations, thereby allowing roots to colonize noncontaminated regions of the rhizosphere.thereby re-allocating root biomass toward non-contaminated rhizosphere areas and minimizing root exposure to toxic metals.

Single cell mRNA-Seq of developing stem-borne roots in tomato

Project description:Plants adjust their growth in response to environmental cues by forming new organs in different development contexts. Underground lateral roots initiate from prepatterned cells in the main root, but cells can also bypass the root/shoot trajectory separation and generate shoot-borne-roots through an unknown mechanism. Here, we mapped tomato (Solanum lycoperiscum) shoot-borne-roots development at single-cell resolution and show that they initiate from differentiated phloem-associated cells via a unique transitional stem-cell-like state. This state required the activity of a transcription factor which we named SHOOTBORNE ROOTLESS (SBRL), a function that was deeply conserved in angiosperms. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that SBRL arose in angiosperms as an ancient duplicated superlocus with its paralogs showing root-type-specific transient expression in wound-induced and lateral root initiation. Mutants in all SBRL-like genes completely lost post-embryonic roots. We propose that the activation of a common transition state by context-specific regulators underlies the plasticity of plant root systems.

Transcription profiling of Cd-induced nitric oxide synthesis in Arabidopsis

Project description:Cadmium treatment induces slow but long lasting nitric oxide production in plant tissues. This NO production can be suppressed using the commonly used Nitric Oxide Synthase inhibitor L-NAME. This inhibitor tends to partially alleviate Cd toxicity. This effect is correlated with a strong diminution of Cd content in roots of plants treated both with Cd and L-NAME compared to roots from plants treated with Cd only. The main goal of this study is the identification of transcriptionnal changes caused by Cd-induced nitric oxide, and that could potentially result in enhanced Cd root accumulation.

Control of root thermomorphogenesis by systemic and local regulatory signals (18h RNA-seq)

Project description:Temperature is one of the most impactful environmental factors in response to which plants adjust their growth and development. While the regulation of temperature signaling has been extensively investigated for the aerial part of plants, much less is known and understood about how roots sense and modulate their growth in response to fluctuating temperatures. Here we found that shoot and root growth responses to high ambient temperature are negatively correlated during early seedling development. A shoot signaling module that includes HY5, the phytochromes and the PIFs exerts a central function in coupling these responses and triggers long-distance signaling to control root growth and auxin levels in the root. In addition to the HY5/PIF dependent shoot module, a local regulatory axis composed of auxin biosynthesis and auxin perception factors mediates root responses to high ambient temperature. Together, our findings uncover that roots integrate long-distance signals with local hormonal inputs during thermomorphogenesis.
