Glutathione triggers trap movement for carnivory in carnivorous plants

ABSTRACT: Charles Darwin was infinitely fascinated with Drosera (sundew plants), which have behaved as the most sagacious animals and evolved as flesh-eaters with modified leaves, called traps, to catch and digest insects. However, the molecular basis underlying movement of carnivorous plants remains very limited. Here, we uncover glutathione (GSH) as an endogenous signaling molecule in sundew plants that triggers trap movement for carnivory. To better understanding the molecular basis of sundew carnivory, we further performed transcriptomic profiling of closed sundew traps stimulated by living fruit flies and GSH.

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

Project description: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.

Digestive physiology in the carnivorous rainbow plant Byblis filifolia Planch

Project description:•Carnivorous plants from the order Caryophyllales co-opted plant phytohormones from the group of jasmonates for regulation of digestive enzyme activities. But not all genera of carnivorous plants are evenly explored and the digestive physiology of the Australian carnivorous rainbow plants of the genus Byblis (order: Lamiales) is only very poorly understood. •Here, we investigated the composition of digestive enzymes in the secreted fluid of Byblis filifolia using LC/MS, measured enzyme activities and analysed the phytohormone tissue level after experimental feeding on fruit flies and coronatine application. •Several hydrolytic digestive enzymes were identified in the secreted digestive fluid which were clearly upregulated in the presence of insect prey. But in contrast to sundew plant Drosera capensis, endogenous jasmonate did not accumulate and coronatine, a molecular mimic of jasmonates, was not able to trigger enzyme secretion. •Our results document that carnivorous plant B. filifolia is fully carnivorous with their own digestive enzyme repertoire. However in contrast to carnivorous genera from the order Caryophyllales, they are not under the control of jasmonates. This indicates that jasmonates have not been co-opted for regulation of digestive enzyme activity repeatedly during evolution of carnivorous plants.

Glutathione triggers leaf-to-leaf, calcium-based plant defense signaling

Project description:To get deeper insights into the GSH-triggered systemic defense signaling events in plants, we performed transcriptome profiling on leaf 6 collected after one hour application of GSH to leaf 1 of WT plants. To further investigate the relations between GSH and Glu in plant wound response, we generated transcriptome data sets from leaf 6 one hour after wounding leaf 1 or application of Glu to leaf 1 of WT plants.

Increased level of glutathione contributes to stress tolerances and global translational changes in Arabidopsis

Project description:Polysomal profiling results showed that global translation was enhanced in roots after 8 h and in shoots after 24 h of GSH treatment. By performing transcriptomic analyses of steady-state and polysome-bound mRNAs in GSH-treated plants, we reveal that GSH has more a greatersubstantial impact on translational change. GSH-induced gene expression in Arabidopsis roots and shoots was measured seperately at 8 and 24 hours after exposure to 100 μM GSH. Two independent experiments were performed at each time (8 or 24 hours).

Expression data of seeds imbibed at 22˚C or 4˚C for 24hr of Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Keeping imbibed seeds at low temperatures for a certain period, so called seed vernalization (SV) treatment, promotes seed germination and subsequent flowering in various plants. Vernalization-promoting flowering requires GSH. However, the expression patterns analyzed by GeneChip arrays showed that increased GSH biosynthesis partially mimics SV treatment in Arabidopsis thaliana. SV treatment (keeping imbibed seeds at 4°C for 24 h) induced a specific pattern of gene expression and promoted subsequent flowering in wild-type plants. A similar pattern was observed at 22°C in transgenic plants (35S-GSH1 plants) overexpressing the γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase gene GSH1, coding an enzyme limiting GSH biosynthesis, under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. This pattern was strengthened at 4°C but flowering was less responsive to SV treatment. There was a difference in the transcript behaviour of the flowering repressor FLC between wild-type and 35S-GSH1 plants. Unlike other genes responsive to SV treatment, SV-dependent decrease in FLC in wild-type plants was reversed in 35S-GSH1 plants. SV treatment increased GSSG level in wild-type seeds, whereas GSSG level was high in 35S-GSH1 plants, even at a non-vernalizing temperature. Taking into consideration that low temperatures stimulate GSH biosynthesis and bring about oxidative stress, GSSG is considered to trigger low temperature response, but enhanced GSH synthesis was not enough for mimicking SV treatment. To complete it, it essentially required the cellular redox retransition from the oxidized to the reduced state that is observed after the seed vernalization treatment. Four samples (Col-0 and 35S-GSH1 seeds imbibed at 22˚C or 4˚C). Two replicates for each samples.
