Silicon effect on suberization and lignification in roots of rice (Oryza sativa)

ABSTRACT: This study was performed to study the effect of silicon (Si) nutrition on suberization and lignification in roots of rice. Besides physiological and histochemical examinations of the roots, transcription of candidate genes related to synthesis of suberin and lignin was investigated using microarray analysis. 14 days old rice seedlings (Oryza sativa, cv. Selenio) were cultivated for 28 days in non-aerated nutrient solution (mM: 1.43 NH4NO3, 0.32 NaH2PO4 x H2O, 0.51 K2SO4, 1 CaCl2 x 2 H2O, 1.6 MgSO4 x 7 H2O; µM: 1.82 MnSO4, 0.03 (NH4)6Mo7O24, 9 H3BO3, 0.3 ZnSO4 x 7 H2O and 0.15 CuSO4). The pH-value was adjusted to 6.0 by addition of 10 % (v/v) H2SO4 and 0.75 M KOH.Plants were supplied with Si in form of K2SiO3 at concentrations 0 ppm Si (control) and 50 ppm Si (1.78 mM) and potassium in the control treatment was balanced with K2SO4 supply. The plants were grown in a growth chamber (photoperiod: 14 h light, 10 h dark; temperature 25°C day / 20°C night; relative humidity 75 %; light intensity 220 µmol m2 s-1). Adventitious roots were harvested at 0-2 cm and 4-6 cm distance from the root tip and frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen. For RNA isolation, roots were ground under liquid nitrogen and total RNA was isolated using TRIsure® Reagent (Bioline, Luckenwalde, Germany) following the instructions of the manufacturer. To examine transcription of genes related to suberin and lignin synthesis, a self developed microarray containing amongst others ABC transporter, aclytransferases, ß-ketoacyl-CoA synthases and peroxidases was used .

Project description:Internal aeration is crucial for root growth in waterlogged soil. A barrier to radial oxygen loss (ROL) can enhance long- distance oxygen transport via the aerenchyma to the root tip; a higher oxygen concentration at the apex enables root growth into anoxic soil. The ROL barrier is formed within the outer part of roots (OPR). Suberin and/or lignin depos- ited in cell walls are thought to contribute to the barrier, but it is unclear which compound is the main constituent. This study describes gene expression profiles during ROL barrier formation in rice roots to determine the relative responses of suberin and/or lignin biosyntheses for the barrier. OPR tissues were isolated by laser microdissection and their transcripts were analysed by microarray. A total of 128 genes were significantly up- or downregulated in the OPR during the barrier formation. Genes associated with suberin biosynthesis were strongly upregulated, whereas genes associated with lignin biosynthesis were not. By an ab initio analysis of the promoters of the upregulated genes, the putative cis-elements that could be associated with transcription factors, WRKY, AP2/ERF, NAC, bZIP, MYB, CBT/DREB, and MADS, were elucidated. They were particularly associated with the expression of transcrip- tion factor genes containing WRKY, AP2, and MYB domains. A semiquantitative reverse-transcription PCR analysis of genes associated with suberin biosynthesis (WRKY, CYP, and GPAT) confirmed that they were highly expressed during ROL barrier formation. Overall, these results suggest that suberin is a major constituent of the ROL barrier in roots of rice. 23-d-old plants were either continued in aerated solution or transplanted into N2-flushed or stagnant deoxygenated solution for 9 h. After treating the roots of plants in aerated, stagnant, or N2-flushed conditions for 9h, the basal parts (12.5 -22.5mm below the root - shoot junction) of the adventitious roots were collected. Cells in OPR (including exodermis and sclerenchyma) were isolated using laser microdissection. RNA extracted from the isolated OPR was analysed with a 44k rice oligo-DNA microarray. Total RNAs were labeled with a Quick Amp Labeling Kit (Agilent Technologies) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. Aliquots of Cy5-labeled and Cy3-labeled cRNA (10 ng each) were used for hybridization in a rice 44K oligo-DNA microarray.
