Abscisic Acid Transcriptomic Signaling Varies with Grapevine Organ

ABSTRACT: Background: Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates various developmental processes and stress responses over both short (i.e. hours or days) and longer (i.e. months or seasons) time frames. To elucidate the transcriptional regulation of early responses of grapevine (Vitis vinifera) responding to ABA, different organs of grape (berries, shoot tips, leaves, roots and cell cultures) were treated with 10 μM (S)-(+)-ABA for 2 h. NimbleGen whole genome microarrays of Vitis vinifera were used to determine the effects of ABA on organ-specific mRNA expression patterns. Results: Transcriptomic analysis revealed 839 genes whose transcript abundances varied significantly in a specific organ in response to ABA treatment. No single gene exhibited the same changes in transcript abundance across all organs in response to ABA. The biochemical pathways affected by ABA were identified using the Cytoscape program with the BiNGO plug-in software. The results indicated that these 839 genes were involved in several biological processes such as flavonoid metabolism, response to reactive oxygen species, response to light, and response to temperature stimulus. ABA affected ion and water transporters, particularly in the root. The protein amino acid phosphorylation process was significantly overrepresented in shoot tips and roots treated with ABA. ABA affected mRNA abundance of genes (CYP707As, UGTs, and PP2Cs) associated with ABA degradation, conjugation, and the ABA signaling pathway. ABA also significantly affected the expression of several transcription factors (e.g. AP2/ERF, MYC/MYB, and bZIP/AREB). The greatest number of significantly differentially expressed genes was observed in the roots followed by cell cultures, leaves, berries, and shoot tips, respectively. Each organ had a unique set of gene responses to ABA. Conclusions: This study examined the short-term effects of ABA on different organs of grapevine. The responses of each organ were unique indicating that ABA signaling varies with the organ. Understanding the ABA responses in an organ-specific manner is crucial to fully understand hormone action and plant responses to water deficit.

Understanding the ABA responses in an organ-specific manner is crucial to fully understand hormone action and plant responses to water deficit. Shoot tips and berries samples were collected at the University of California, Davis, CA, USA (2010); cell culture samples were sampled at Oregon State University, OR, USA (2010); roots and leaf samples were collected at the University of Nevada, Reno, Reno, NV, USA (2011). Three independent experimental (and biological) replicates were harvested to compare between ABA-treated and untreated samples. Tissue was derived from Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon.

Project description:To evaluate the transcriptome response of roots towards Hoagland solution of two-year-old healthy (C) and HLB-affected (T) sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.) cultivar Midsweet grafted on Kuharskei Carrizo rootstock at three different time points; D1 (at the start of the experiment), D2 (After 3 days of Hoagland solution), D3 (After nine days of Hoagland solution), were performed using RNA sequencing analysis. A total of 9, 19, and 2324 DEGs were expressed in HLB-affected and healthy trees feeder roots on D1, D2, and D3, respectively. Due to a small number of DEGs in HLB-affected and healthy trees roots on D1 and D2, enrichment analysis could not be performed. At D3, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was performed using upregulated and downregulated DEGs in HLB-affected roots compared to healthy roots. For the upregulated DEGs in HLB-affected roots, the most enriched biological GO categories were related to transport, cellular amino acid metabolic process, oxoacid metabolic process, organic acid metabolic processes, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis process, response to carbohydrate stimulus, ethylene and the jasmonic acid-mediated signaling pathway, and regulation of plant hormone. The biological GO categories based on the number of DEGs associated with downregulated DEGs were the developmental process, phosphate metabolic process, protein modification process, defense response, growth, cell cycle, cell death, and ABA-mediated signaling pathway. The results of this study strongly suggest; although, the reduced biomass limits the nutrient uptake capacity in the plants as a whole, so in order to compensate for reduced root to shoot ratio the existing root undergo anatomical and transcriptomic changes to improve nutrient uptake efficiency to meet the nutrient demand of shoot systems. It is likely that higher inputs of energy in nutrient uptake possibly results in reducing the root longevity of HLB-affected trees. Good nutrition management practices are critical for the survival of HLB-affected trees as the availability and uptake of nutrients allow HLB-affected trees in response to abiotic and biotic stress.

Project description:Grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV) is a widespread virus affecting Vitis spp. Although it has established a compatible viral interaction in Vitis vinifera L. without the development of phenotypic alterations, it can occur as distinct variants that show different symptoms in diverse Vitis species. We investigated the changes induced by GRSPaV in V. vinifera cv Bosco, an Italian white grape variety, by combining agronomic, physiological, and molecular approaches, in order to provide comprehensive information about the global effects of GRSPaV. In two consecutive years, this virus caused a moderate decrease in physiological efficiency, yield performance, and sugar content in berries associated with several transcriptomic alterations. Transcript profiles were analysed by microarray techniques in petiole, leaf, and berry samples collected at véraison and by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) in a time course carried out at five relevant grapevine developmental stages. Global gene expression analyses showed that transcriptomic changes were highly variable among the different organs and the different phenological phases. GRSPaV triggers some unique responses in the grapevine at véraison, never reported before for other plant-virus interactions, such as an increase in transcripts involved in photosynthesis and CO2 fixation, associated with a moderate reduction in the photosynthesis rate and some defence mechanisms, and to an overlap with responses to water and salinity stresses. We hypothesise that the long co-existence between grapevine and GRSPaV has resulted in the evolution of a form of mutual adaptation between the virus and its host. This study contributes to elucidating alternative mechanisms used by infected plants to contend with viruses. The study was carried out in a vineyard planted in 2002 in Albenga (Liguria), North-West Italy, where a row was established with the white grape cultivar Bosco (V. vinifera L.). Microarray analysis was carried out on leaves, petioles, and berries collected at véraison (E-L35) in 2010. For each of the six GRSPaV-free and six GRSPaV-infected vines selected for the physiological and agronomical parameters evaluation, we collected 6 leaves (3 basal and 3 apical) with the related petioles and 12 berries from 3 different bunches. Samples from each organ were arbitrary pooled in 3 independent biological replicates and total RNA was extracted according to the method described by Gambino et al. (2008).
