Project description:Drought stress imposes severe challenges on agriculture by impacting crop performance. Understanding drought responses in plants at a cellular level is a crucial first step towards engineering improved drought resilience. However, the molecular responses to drought are complex as they depend on multiple factors including the severity of drought, the profiled organ, its developmental stage or even the cell types therein. Thus, deciphering the transcriptional responses to drought is specially challenging. In this study, we investigated tissue-specific responses to mild drought in young Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) leaves using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). To preserve transcriptional integrity during cell isolation, we inhibited RNA synthesis using the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D, demonstrating the benefits of transcriptome fixation for studying mild stress responses at single-cell level. We present a curated and validated single-cell atlas comprising 50,797 high-quality cells from almost all known cell types present in the leaf. All cell types were validated with a new library of reporter lines.

Project description:Leaf growth is a complex developmental process that is continuously fine-tuned by the environment. Various abiotic stresses, including mild drought stress, have been shown to inhibit leaf growth in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we identify the redundant Arabidopsis transcription factors ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR 5 (ERF5) and ERF6 as master regulators which adapt leaf growth to environmental changes. ERF5 and ERF6 gene expression is induced very rapidly and specifically in actively growing leaves after sudden exposure to osmotic stress that mimics mild drought. Subsequently, enhanced ERF6 expression inhibits cell proliferation and leaf growth by a process involving GA and DELLA signaling. Using an ERF6 inducible overexpression line, we demonstrate that the GA-degrading enzyme GA2-OX6 is transcriptionally induced by ERF6 and that consequently DELLA proteins are stabilized. As a result, ERF6 gain-of-function lines are dwarfed and hypersensitive to osmotic stress, while growth of erf5erf6 loss-of-function mutants is less affected by stress. Next to its role in plant growth under stress, ERF6 also activates the expression of a plethora of osmotic stress-responsive genes, including the well-known stress tolerance genes STZ, MYB51 and WRKY33. Interestingly, the activation of the stress tolerance genes by ERF6 occurs independently from the ERF6-mediated growth inhibition. Together, these data fit into a leaf growth regulatory model in which ERF5 and ERF6 form a missing link between the previously observed stress-induced 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) accumulation and DELLA-mediated cell cycle exit and execute a dual role by regulating both stress tolerance and growth-inhibition.

Project description:Drought stress is one of the main environmental factors that affects growth and productivity of crop plants, including lentil. To gain insights into the genome-wide transcriptional regulation in lentil root and leaf under short- and long-term drought conditions, we performed RNA-seq on a drought-sensitive lentil cultivar (Lens culinaris Medik. cv. Sultan). After establishing drought conditions, lentil samples were subjected to de novo RNA-seq-based transcriptome analysis. The 207,076 gene transcripts were successfully constructed by de novo assembly from the sequences obtained from root, leaf, and stems. Differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis on these transcripts indicated that period of drought stress had a greater impact on the transcriptional regulation in lentil root. The numbers of DEGs were 2915 under short-term drought stress while the numbers of DEGs were increased to 18,327 under long-term drought stress condition in the root. Further, Gene Ontology analysis revealed that the following biological processes were differentially regulated in response to long-term drought stress: protein phosphorylation, embryo development seed dormancy, DNA replication, and maintenance of root meristem identity. Additionally, DEGs, which play a role in circadian rhythm and photoreception, were downregulated suggesting that drought stress has a negative effect on the internal oscillators which may have detrimental consequences on plant growth and survival. Collectively, this study provides a detailed comparative transcriptome response of drought-sensitive lentil strain under short- and long-term drought conditions in root and leaf. Our finding suggests that not only the regulation of genes in leaves is important but also genes regulated in roots are important and need to be considered for improving drought tolerance in lentil.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis in cotton under drought stress. To study the molecular response of drought stress in cotton under field condition global gene expression analysis was carried out in leaf tissue. Gossypium hirsutum cv. Bikaneri Nerma was used for the gene expression analysis. Cotton plants were subjected to drought stress at peak flowering stage. Leaf samples were collected when the soil moisture content was 19.5% which is 50% of the normal control plots. Gene expression profiles in drought induced and their respective control samples were analyzed using Affymertix cotton Genechip Genome arrays to study the global changes in the expression of genome.

Samples were obtained from three independent experiments and from multiple plates within the experiment. Whole seedlings were harvested rapidly in an excess of RNAlater® solution (Ambion), and after overnight storage at 4°C, dissected under a binocular microscope on a cooling plate with precision microscissors. Dissected leaves were transferred to a new tube, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and ground with a Retsch machine and 3-mm metal balls. RNA was extracted with TriZol (Invitrogen) and further purified with the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). DNA digestion was done on columns with RNase-free DNase I (Roche). For the identification of genome-wide expression changes, samples of the strong ERF6-overexpressing line (ERF6IOE-S) and the control line (GFP:IOE) were harvested 4 h after transfer to DEX. Two µg of pure RNA samples were hybridized to AGRONOMICS1 Arabidopsis Tiling Arrays (Rehrauer et al., 2010) at the VIB Microarray Facility (Leuven, Belgium).

Project description:Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a perennial crop producing deep roots thus highly tolerant to soil water deficit conditions. However, seedling establishment in field is very susceptible to prolonged and periodic drought stress. In this study, a “sandwich” system simulating a gradual water deletion process was developed. Switchgrass seedlings were subjected to a 20-day gradual drought treatment process when soil water tension was increased to 0.05 MPa (moderate drought stress) and leaf physiological properties had expressed significant alteration. Drought-induced changes in leaf proteomes were identified using the relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) labeling method followed by nano-scale liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (nano-LC-MS/MS) analysis. Additionally, total leaf proteins were processed using a combinatorial library of peptide ligands to enrich for lower abundance proteins. Both total proteins and those enriched samples were analyzed to increase the coverage of the quantitative proteomics analysis. A total of 7,006 leaf proteins were identified, and 257 (4% of the leaf proteome) expressed a significant difference (P < 0.05, fold change < 0.6 or > 1.7) from the non-treated control to drought-treated conditions. Results from this study, in addition to revealing molecular responses to drought stress, provide a large number of proteins (candidate genes) that can be employed to improve switchgrass seedling growth and establishment under soil drought condition.

Project description:This was a comparative transcriptome analysis by using high throughput sequencing. To assess the effects of drought stress and NF-Y transcription factors ZmNF-YA1 and ZmNF-YB16 on maize, leaves from wild-type (W22), zmnf-ya1 (m67) mutant, wild-type (B104) and ZmNF-YB16 overexpression (OE) plants grow under well-watered and drought stress conditions were collected and RNAseq was performed. We tracked the gene expression events of inbred maize lines W22 or B104 seedlings in response to drought stress to evaluate how drought stress affects the gene expression program in maize. At the same time, we analyzed the effects of drought stress on gene expression in zmnf-ya1 and ZmNF-YB16 OE plants to investigate whether and how ZmNF-YA1 and ZmNF-YB16 confer drought stress tolerance in maize. Maize plants were grown under well-watered conditions until the V4 stage (zmnf-ya1 and W22) or V9 stage (ZmNF-YB16 OE and B104), and then half of them were exposed to drought stress treatment. Water loss in the soil and the electrolyte leakage from leaf cells were used to assess drought stress in plants. Leaves from 3-4 plants were pooled for each sample, and two replicates were used. RNA was extracted from small strips of leaf lamina excised from the first fully expanded leaf of the plants.

Project description:Purpose: To study the effects of drought at the transcriptomic level on two different actively dividing maize tissue: the ovaries, and the leaf meristem Methods: The Illumina reads were mapped to the maize B73 reference genome using Tophat followed by transcriptome reconstruction using Cufflinks. The FPKM valuse were extracted from cufflinks output and an R package called Limma was used to identify differentially expressed genes under drought under both tissues Results and Conclusions: Different processes which were differentially expressed under drought in both tissues were identified and analyzed in detail. A working hypothesis was formulated to account for the observed susceptibility of the reproductive tissue when compared to the robust response of the vegetative tissue. This analysis also servers as a basis for future study on drought-induced embryo abortion. Maize (Zea mays) plants of inbred line B73 were grown in the green house under well watered and drought stress conditions until they reached the reproductive stage (at the onset of silk emergence). For the drought stress two to three days after irrigation was withheld, the plants were hand pollinated, and 24 hours after pollination measurements and samples were collected for transcriptome analysis. At the end of the drought period (1DAP) the basal leaf meristem of the three youngest leaves and the ovary tissues were sampled for Illumina deep sequencing. Samples were labeled as well watered control leaf meristem (MLC), well watered control ovaries/ "cob" (MCC), drought stressed leaf meristem (MLD) and drought stressed ovary tissue (MCD). There are 8 libraries in total including one biological replicate for each condition.
