Rapeseed NAC-type transcription factor BnNAC038 manipulates the trade-off between drought response and growth [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Drought stress significantly impairs plant growth. In response to this stress, plants have evolved adaptive strategies to effectively allocate their limited resources, thereby ensuring both survival and growth under drought conditions. However, the regulatory mechanisms that govern this adaptive response and the key regulatory factors involved in the trade-off remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified a Brassica napus NAC transcription factor, BnNAC038, which functions as a central regulator in balancing drought tolerance and yield in the oil crop rapeseed. Loss-of-function analysis demonstrated that BnNAC038 knockout plants exhibited enhanced drought tolerance, characterized by higher survival rates, reduced water loss, increased sensitivity to ABA-induced stomatal closure, and elevated leaf temperature. Additionally, DAPseq and RNAseq analyses provided a more comprehensive understanding of the regulatory mechanisms involved. Taken together, our results offer compelling evidence for a novel strategy to develop drought-resilient crops with minimal yield penalties for sustainable agriculture, achieved through the targeted manipulation of negative regulators of drought responses.

Rapeseed NAC-type transcription factor BnNAC038 manipulates the trade-off between drought response and growth [DAP-seq]

Project description:Drought stress significantly impairs plant growth. In response to this stress, plants have evolved adaptive strategies to effectively allocate their limited resources, thereby ensuring both survival and growth under drought conditions. However, the regulatory mechanisms that govern this adaptive response and the key regulatory factors involved in the trade-off remain poorly understood.

The Roc10, a Rice Homeodomain-leucine Zipper Transcription Factor, Modulates Lignin Biosynthesis that Confers Drought Tolerance [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Drought is a major environmental constraint affecting physiological, biochemical and molecular changes of crops, causing loss in crop productivities. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance is important for crop biotechnology. Here, we report that the rice (Oryza sativa) homeodomain-leucine zipper class IV transcription factor gene, Rice outermost cell-specific gene 10 (Roc10), improves drought tolerance and grain yield by increasing lignin accumulation in ground tissues of rice plants. Overexpression of Roc10 significantly enhanced drought tolerance of transgenic rice plants at the vegetative stages of growth with highly effective photosystem and reduction of water loss rate as compared with non-transgenic control and RNAi plants. More importantly, Roc10 overexpression plants had higher drought tolerance at the reproductive stage of growth with higher grain yield over controls under field-drought conditions. We identified downstream and putative target genes of Roc10 by using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data of rice shoots. Roc10 overexpression elevated the expression levels of lignin biosynthetic genes in shoots with a concomitant increase in accumulation of lignin. The overexpression and RNAi lines showed opposite patterns of lignin accumulation. The Roc10 is mainly expressed in the outer cell layers including epidermis and vasculature of shoots that coincides with areas of increased lignification. Furthermore, the Roc10 was found to directly bind to the promoter of PEROXIDASEN/PEROXIDASE38, a key gene in lignin biosynthesis. Together, our findings suggested that the Roc10 confers drought stress tolerance by enhancing lignin biosynthesis in ground tissues of rice plants.

Gene Editing of Gibberellin-Oxidase20 improves plant architecture and drought tolerance in maize

Project description:As a major plant abiotic stress, drought stress suppresses crop yield performance severely. However, the trade-off between crop drought tolerance and yield performance becomes a great challenge in drought-resistant crop breeding. Several phytohormones have been reported to participate in plant drought response, including gibberellin (GA), which also plays an important role in plant growth and development. Using CRISPR technology, we constructed the null mutant of ZmGA20ox3, a key enzyme in GA biosynthesis. The null mutant plants show lower plant height and ear height with no yield loss under the normal condition than wild-type plants. Transcriptome analysis revealed that genes affected by ZmGA20ox3 were enriched in signal transduction and stress response processes. In addition to the decrease of GA, a significant increase of ABA and JA level were also detected in mutant plants. Compared with wild-type plants, the growth and ASI of mutant plants were less affected, and the yield loss was also reduced under drought conditions. These results suggest a potential role of ZmGA20ox3 in maize drought response. Our result shows that regulating GA biosynthesis is applicable for maize drought-resistant breeding.

Polysome bound mRNA Seq analysis of tolerant (APO) and susceptible (IR64) variety of Oryza sativa cv. Indica under 50% drought

Project description:Plants evolved several acquired tolerance traits for drought stress adaptation to maintain the cellular homeostasis. The combination of constitutive and acquired traits governs drought tolerance, which is crucial for maintaining crop productivity under drought. Drought affects protein synthesis, to uncover the translational landscape with response to drought stress in rice, polysome bound mRNA sequencing at anthesis stage in resistant APO and sensitive IR64 genotypes were performed. Our results demonstrate that drought tolerant genotype maintains higher transcripts bound to poly-ribosomes which facilitate higher protien synthesis which impacted on photosynthesis, spikelet fertility, seed filing and yield under drought stress. We identified many novel LncRNAs and relevant genes associated with translation which can play important role in manitaing grain protein content with drought tolerance.

Root-specific overexpression of OsERF48 causes regulation of OsCML16, a calmodulin-like protein gene that enhances root growth and drought tolerance

Project description:The AP2/ERF family is one of the plant-speciﬁc transcription factors (TFs) whose members have been associated with various developmental processes and stress tolerance. Here, we functionally characterized the drought-inducible OsERF48, a group Ib member of the rice ERF family that contains four conserved motifs, CMI-1, 2, 3 and 4. Transactivation assay in yeast revealed that the CMI-1 at the C-terminal end was essential for its transcriptional activity. When the OsERF48 was overexpressed in an either root-specific (ROXOsERF48) or whole-body (OXOsERF48) expression manner, both transgenic plants showed a longer and denser root phenotype than the nontransgenic (NT) controls. When plants were grown on a 40% PEG-infused medium, an in vitro drought condition, ROXOsERF48 plants showed a more vigorous root growth over OXOsERF48 and NT plants. In addition, the ROXOsERF48 plants exhibited higher grain yield under field-drought conditions than OXOsERF48 and NT plants. We constructed a putative regulatory network of OsERF48 by cross-referencing of RNA-seq data of ROXOsERF48 roots with a co-expression network database, revealing an involvement of 20 drought-related genes. These include genes for stress signaling, carbohydrate metabolism, cell-wall proteins, and drought-response. More importantly, OsCML16, a key gene for calcium signaling during abiotic stress, was identified to be the direct target of OsERF48 by the ChIP-qPCR and the protoplast transient assay. Thus, our results demonstrated that OsERF48 regulates OsCML16, a calmodulin-like protein gene that enhance root growth and drought tolerance.

Expression data from PSARK::IPT Nicotiana and wildtype plants

Project description:Stress-induced leaf senescence could be delayed in transgenic plants expressing isopentenyltransferase (IPT), an enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in CK synthesis under the control of SARK, a maturation- and stress-inducible promoter (Rivero et al., 2007). Increased CK production resulted in enhanced drought tolerance of the transgenic PSARK::IPT plants, with minimal yield loss (Rivero et al., 2007). We have used a large-scale expression profiling approach to investigate the effects of PSARK::IPT on gene expression to elucidate the molecular events associated with the CK-induced drought tolerance displayed by the PSARK::IPT plants. We used tomato genechips to capture the differential transcriptional responses of WT and PSARK::IPT plants under control and water stress conditions

Transcriptomic Insights into Drought Tolerance Enhancement in Bread Wheat Induced by a Microalgae-based Biostimulant

Project description:Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a staple food crucial for global caloric intake and food security. The current climate emergency demands the development of sustainable agricultural practices, particularly in the context of drought-induced yield reductions in bread wheat. Microalgae-based biostimulants have emerged as promising tools to enhance crop tolerance to drought stress while concurrently mitigating atmospheric CO2 accumulation. This study characterizes the transcriptomic responses to the foliar application of the microalgae-based biostimulant LRMTM in drought-stressed and fully irrigated wheat plants unveiling its mode of action. Drought stress at the tillering stage significantly altered gene expression activating key pathways related to phosphate starvation response (PSR), inositol phosphate signaling, and tocopherol biosynthesis. The application of the microalgae-based biostimulant LRMTM in drought-stressed plants further enhanced the expression of drought-responsive genes, particularly those involved in PSR and carbon fixation. Specific responses to LRMTM treatment in drought-stressed plants were also found related to abscisic acid (ABA) signaling activating genes involved in stomata closure, which plays a critical role in drought tolerance. In fully irrigated plants, LRMTM treatment was also beneficial modulating circadian rhythms, shade avoidance and attenuating stress responses. Phenotypic analysis showed that LRMTM-treated plants exhibited enhanced drought tolerance, increased height and spike length even under fully irrigated conditions. These results indicate that the microalgae-based biostimulant LRMTM not only enhances wheat response to drought but also promotes growth and productivity in both stressed and non-stressed conditions which could contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture in the face of the current climate challenges.

Genome-wide analyses of direct target genes of four rice NAC-domain transcription factors involved in drought tolerance [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Plant stress response and tolerance mechanisms are controlled by diverse genes. Transcription factors have been implicated in drought tolerance under drought stress conditions. Identification of target genes of such transcription factors could offer molecular regulatory networks by which the tolerance mechanisms orchestrated. Previously, we generated transgenic rice plants with 4 rice transcription factors OsNAC5, 6, 9, and 10 under the root-specific promoter RCc3 that were tolerant to drought stress with less loss of grain yield under drought conditions. To understand the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance, we performed ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq analyses to identify direct target genes of the OsNACs using the RCc3:MYC-OsNACs roots. A total of 475 binding loci of 4 OsNACs were identified by cross-referencing the binding occupancy of OsNACs at promoter regions and expression levels of corresponding genes. The binding loci are distributed on promoter regions of 391 target genes that were directly up-regulated by OsNACs in four RCc3:MYC-OsNAC transgenic roots. The direct target genes were related to transmembrane/transporter activity, vesicle, plant hormone, carbohydrate metabolism, and transcription factors. The direct targets of each OsNAC are in a range of 4.0 to 8.7% of the genes up-regulated in RNA-Seq data sets. Thus, each OsNAC up-regulates of corresponding direct target genes that alters root system architectures of RCc3:OsNACs for drought tolerance. Our results provide valuable resources for functional dissection of the molecular mechanisms for plant drought tolerance.

Whole genome-wide expression profiles of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in response to drought stress

Project description:Drought stress is the main environmental factor influencing hemp growth and yield. However, little is known about the response mechanism of hemp to drought stress. A total of 44.10 M tags and 8.91G bases were sequenced in the control hemp (CK) and drought stress hemp (DS) libraries. A total of 1292 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 883 up-regulated genes and 409 down-regulated genes, were identified. These results may contribute toward improving our understanding about the drought stress regulatory mechanism of hemp, and improving its drought tolerance ability.
