Full-length transcriptome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. in under five treatment

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goal of this study are to reveal the internal mechanism of Bacillus pumilus G5 and silicon increased Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. seedlings drought-tolerance by RNA-Seq. Methods: mRNA profiles of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. Seedling in five treatment: control treatment, drought stress treatment, drought stress with G5 treatment, drought stress with Si treatment and drought stress with G5 combined Si treatment. Results: The full-length transcriptome sequencing of 15 samples was completed, and the clean data of each sample was 6.28GB. All the consistent transcript sequences were aligned to the reference genome by minimap2 software and then de-redundant analysis was performed. Finally, 37267 genes were obtained. A total of 6934 DEGs were identified in four comparisons (D vs CK, DB vs D, DSi vs D, and DBSi vs D), among which are 967, 1559, 1278 and 3130 DEGs in four comparisons, respectively. Conclusions: Our study help to better understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of Bacillus pumilus G5 and silicon improve the drought-tolerance of G. uralensis.

Project description:The aerial parts of Glycyrrhiza uralensis supply substantial raw material for the extraction of active pharmaceutical ingredients comprehensively utilized in many industries. Liquiritin is the unique and most abundant flavonoid active component in G. uralensis. It has a wide range of pharmacological activities and high economic value. Our previous study indicated that moderate salt stress increased the content of active ingredients. However, the regulatory mechanism remains unclear. In this study, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of the aerial parts of G. uralensis treated with 150 mM NaCl for 0, 2, 6, and 12 h was performed to identify the key genes and metabolic pathways regulating pharmacological active component accumulation. The main active component detection showed that liquiritin was the major ingredient and exhibited more than a 10-fold significant increase in the 6-h NaCl treatment. Temporal expression analysis of the obtained 4245 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) obtained by RNA-seq revealed two screened profiles that included the significant up-regulated DEGs (UDEGs) at different treatment points. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of these UDEGs identified phenylpropanoid metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis as the most significantly enriched pathways in 2-h treated materials. Interestingly, the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway that is related to ABA synthesis was also discovered, and the ABA content was significantly promoted after 6-h NaCl treatment. Following ABA stimulation, the content of liquiritin demonstrated a significant and immediate increase after 2-h treatment, with the corresponding consistent expression of genes involved in the pathways of ABA signal transduction and flavonoid biosynthesis, but not in the pathway of glycyrrhizic acid biosynthesis. Therefore, salt stress might promote liquiritin accumulation through the ABA-mediated signaling pathway in G. uralensis. Our study provides candidate genes and pathways controlling liquiritin synthesis, and would drive progress in genetic improvement and promote the comprehensive utilization of the aerial part of G. uralensis.

Project description:The role and essentiality of silicon (Si) in plant biology has been debated for over 150 years in spite of numerous reports describing its beneficial properties. To obtain unique insights regarding the effect of Si on plants, we performed a complete transcriptome analysis of both control and powdery mildew-stressed Arabidopsis plants, with or without Si application, using a 44K microarray. Surprisingly, the expression of all but two genes was unaffected by Si in control plants, a result contradicting reports of possible direct effect of Si as a fertilizer. In contrast, inoculation of plants, treated or not with Si, altered the expression of a set of nearly 4,000 genes. Following functional categorization, many of the up-regulated genes were defense-related whereas a large proportion of down-regulated genes were involved in primary metabolism. Regulated defense genes included R genes, stress-related transcription factors, genes involved in signal transduction, the biosynthesis of stress hormones (SA, JA, ethylene), and the metabolism of reactive oxygen species. In inoculated plants treated with Si, the magnitude of down-regulation was attenuated by over 25%, an indication of stress alleviation. Our results demonstrate that Si treatment had no effect on the metabolism of unstressed plants suggesting a non essential role for the element, but that it has beneficial properties attributable to modulation of a more efficient response to pathogen stress. Experiment Overall Design: A loop design with complete dye-swap was used as experimental design for comparing plants submitted to four treatments and three biological replicates for a total of 24 Agilent Arabidopsis 3 microarrays. Two factors experimental factors : response to a compound (Silicon, treated or not treated) and disease state (Erysiphe cichoracearum, normal vs. diseased). Each factor had two levels. For each of the four combinations of factors, three plants were randomly selected. Thus a total of 12 plants were used for the experiment. RNA was extracted from rosette leaves.
