Project description:Living organisms have to cope with multiple and combined fluctuations in their environment. According to their sessile mode of life, plants are even more subjected to such fluctuations impacting their physiology and development. In particular, nutrient availability is known to tune plant development through modulating hormonal signaling, and conversely, hormonal signals are key to control nutrient related signaling pathways (Krouk et al., 2011a). However, very few is known about molecular mechanisms leading to plant adaptation to such combined signals. Here we deployed an unprecedented combinatorial treatment matrix to reveal plant adaptation in response to nitrate (NO3-), ammonium (NH4+), auxin (IAA), cytokinins (CK) and abscisic acid (ABA) and their exhaustive binary combinations. In order to study the effect of 5 signaling molecules we developed a matrix of treatment including NO3- (1mM or 0.5mM), NH4+ (1mM, or 0.5mM), indol-acetic-acid (IAA: 500 nM), Kinetin (CK: 500 nM), abscisic acid (ABA: 1µM). When present, the overall nitrogen treatment has been maintained to 1mM. As such, when NO3- and NH4+ are present in the same media their concentration was divided by 2. Proper mock controls include KCl, and DMSO. Plants are grown on NH4+-succinate for 12 to 14 days (first visible true leaves). Transferred 24 hours on a refreshed N-free media (reset the background that may be exhausted in several elements), and then transferred toward fresh media containing combinations of signals. Plant roots are harvested after 4 hours of treatment for gene expression analysis. Please note that the treatment details for each sample were provided in the sample 'characteristics' column in 'NO-NH-IA-CK-AB' format followed by the Presence/Absence code used for each hormone/nutrient.

Project description:Nitrogen is one of the essential elements for plant growth. NH4+ and NO3- are two major forms of absorbing element N for higher plants. In this study we found that the growth of Panax notoginseng is inhibited when only adding ammonium nitrogen fertilizer, and adding nitrate fertilizer can alleviate the toxicity caused by ammonium. We use RNA-seq to identify genes that are related to the alleviated phenotypes after introducing NO3- to Panax notoginseng roots under NH4+ stresses. Twelve RNA-seq profiles in four sample groups, i.e., control, samples treated with NH4+, samples treated with NO3- only, and treated with both NH4+ and NO3- were obtained and analyzed to identify deregulated genes in samples with different treatments. ACLA-3 gene is downregulated in NH4+ treated samples, but is upregulated in samples treated with NO3- and with both NH4+ and NO3-, which is further validated in another set of samples using qRT-PCR. Our results suggest that unbalanced metabolism of nitrogen and nitrogen is the main cause of ammonium poisoning in roots of Panax notoginseng, and NO3- may significantly upregulate the activity of ACLA-3 which subsequently enhances the citrate cycle and many other metabolic pathways in Panax notoginseng root. These potentially increase the integrity of the Panax notoginseng roots. Our results suggest that introducing NO3- fertilizer is an effective means to prevent the occurrence of toxic ammonium in Panax notoginseng root.

Project description:affy_nitrogen_medicago - affy_nitrogen_medicago - Experiment has been designed to characterize the molecular expression patterns associated to a contrasted modification of the nitrogen status of the whole plant. The systemic effects of nitrogen status modifications are investigated and compared on non nodulated plant supplied with NO3, NH4 or nodulated plants (Sinorhizobium meliloti 2011) supplied with air. The root systems were separated in two compartments of unequal sizes (split root system). Two treatments were applied on the larger compartment in order to modulate the nitrogen status of the plant: for the S treatment, roots are supplied with nutrient solution containing 10 mM NH4NO3,, whereas for the C treatment, roots are supplied with nitrogen free medium. In the case of N2 fixing plants, N limitation was obtained by replacing air by a mixture of Ar and O2 80 per cent and 20 per cent. The effects of these treatments were investigated on roots of the minor compartment supplied continuously with either NO3 1 mM, NH4 1 mM or air (N2) and on the shoots. We were also interested in the molecular expression patterns associated to the roots deprived of N.-The root system of non-nodulated (NO3- and NH4+) or nodulated (N2) plants is split into two unequal parts and each one is installed in a separate compartment. For the S treatement, the major root part is supplied with NH4NO3 10 mM whereas the minor part is supplied with either NO3- 1mM, NH4+ 1mM or N2. For the C treatement, the major root part is supplied with nitrogen-free nutrient solution whereas the minor part is supplied with either NO3- 1mM, NH4plus 1mM or N2. Each treatement is four days long. Samples of roots of six biological types (NO3S, NO3C, NH4S, NH4C, N2S and N2C) were collected. Two biological repeats per biological types have been analyzed. The effect of the S and C treatments were investigated for each N sources by comparing Affymetrix transcriptomes (NO3C vs NO3S, NH4C vs NH4S, N2C vs N2S).

Project description:Plants as non-mobile organisms constantly integrate varying environmental signals to flexibly adapt their growth and development. Local fluctuations in water and nutrient availability, sudden changes in temperature or other abiotic and biotic stresses can trigger changes in the growth of plant organs. Multiple mutually interconnected hormonal signaling cascades act as essential endogenous translators of these exogenous signals in the adaptive responses of plants. Although the molecular backbones of hormone transduction pathways have been identified, the mechanisms underlying their interactions are largely unknown. Here, using genome wide transcriptome profiling we identify an unknown auxin and cytokinin cross-talk component; SYNERGISTIC ON AUXIN AND CYTOKININ1 (SYAC1), whose expression in roots is strictly dependent on both of these hormonal pathways. We show that SYAC1 is a component of secretory pathway, whose enhanced activity interferes with deposition of cell wall components and can fine-tune organ growth and sensitivity to soil pathogens

Project description:Transcriptomic profiling was carried out for leaves of Lotus japonicus plants grown with different mineral nitrogen sources (NO3-, NH4+ or NH4NO3) or under conditions of biological nitrogen fixation (Nod). Nodulated plants were inoculated with Mesorhizobium loti and watered with nitrogen-free âHornumâ medium supplemented with 3 mM KCl. Plants under different nitrogen nutritions were watered with âHornumâ nutrient solution containing 10 mM KNO3 (NO3- plants) or with 10 mM NH4Cl supplemented with 3 mM KCl (NH4+ plants) or with 5 mM NH4NO3 supplemented with 3 mM KNO3 (NH4NO3 plants). After all the plants reached the size of 7 trifoils, leaf tissue was harvested. Every harvest involved at least three independent biological replicates for each treatment.

Project description:Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for crops. Plants developed several responses to N fluctuations, thus optimizing the root architecture in response to N availability. Nitrate and ammonium are the main N inorganic forms taken up by plants and act as both nutrients and signals, affecting gene expression and plant development. In this study, RNA-sequencing was applied to gain comprehensive information on the pathways underlying the response of maize root, pre-treated in an N-deprived solution, to the provision of nitrate or ammonium. To assess the physiological response to these nutrients the shoot and root growth, the leaf pigment content and the amino acid amount in root and shoot were assessed. The analysis of the transcriptome shows that nitrate and ammonium regulate overlapping and distinct pathways, thus leading to different responses. NH4+ activates the response to stress, while NO3- acts as a negative regulator of transmembrane transport. Both the N-source repress genes related to the cytoskeleton and reactive oxygen species detoxification. Moreover, the presence of ammonium induces the accumulation of anthocyanins, while reduces biomass and chlorophyll and flavonoids accumulation. The profiles observed for hydrolysed and free amino acids highlighted common and distinct features in response to the two nitrogen forms.

Project description:We used Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 for all experiments. The plants were grown hydroponically on nutrient solution as described previously [Plant J 1999, 18(5):509-519]. Briefly, plants were grown on sand, placed in custom-designed styrofoam rafts, in a growth chamber (EGC, Chagrin Falls, OH, USA) at 22°C with 60 mmol photons m-2s-1 light intensity and 8 h/16 h light/dark cycles. The seeds were initially germinated in tap water. After one week, the water was replaced with a complete nutrient solution [Plant J 1999, 18(5):509-519]. All the experiments were performed with 6 week old plants. Nutrient solutions were renewed weekly and on the day before the experiments. For treatments, individual rafts were transferred to containers with 300mL of nutrient solution supplemented with various concentrations of nitrate (as a mix of 2/1 KNO3/Ca(NO3)2) and/or sucrose. The N-free nutrient solutions contained 0.25 mM K2SO4 and 0.25 mM CaCl2 instead of KNO3 and Ca(NO3)2. Plants were transferred to treatments media at the beginning of the light period and were harvested 8h afterwards. Roots and leaves were harvested separately and quickly frozen in liquid N2.

Project description:The root-colonizing endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica promotes root and shoot growth of its host plants. We show that growth promotion of Arabidopsis leaves is abolished when the seedlings are grown on media with nitrogen (N) limitation. The fungus neither stimulated the total N content nor did it promote 15NO3- uptake from agar plates to the leaves of the host under N-sufficient or N-limiting conditions. However, when the roots were co-cultivated with 15N-labelled P. indica, more label can be detected in the leaves of N-starved host plants, but not of plants supplied with sufficient N. Amino acid and primary metabolite profiles, as well as expression analyses of N metabolite transporter genes suggest that the fungus alleviates the adaptation of its host to the N limitation condition. P. indica alters the expression of transporter genes which participate in relocation of NO3-, NH4+ and N metabolites from the roots to the leaves under N limitation. We propose that P. indica participates in the plant´s metabolomic adaptation to N limitation by delivering reduced N metabolites to the host, alleviating metabolic N starvation responses, and reprogramming the expression of N-metabolism related genes.
