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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Overexpression of OsERF71, an AP2/ERF Transcription Factor, Alters Rice Root Structure That Confers Drought Resistance

Project description:Plant responses to drought stress require the regulation of transcriptional networks via drought responsive transcription factors, which mediate a range of morphological and physiological changes. AP2/ERF transcription factors are known to act as key regulators of drought resistance transcriptional networks; however, little is known about the associated molecular mechanisms that give rise to specific morphological and physiological adaptations. In this study, we functionally characterized the rice (Oryza sativa) drought responsive AP2/ERF transcription factor, OsERF71, which is predominantly expressed in the root meristem, pericycle, and endodermis. Overexpression of OsERF71 either throughout the entire plant or specifically in roots, resulted in a drought resistance phenotype at the vegetative growth stage, indicating that overexpression in roots was sufficient to confer drought resistance. The root specific overexpression was more effective in conferring drought resistance at the reproductive stage, such that grain yield was increased by 23-42% over wild type plants or whole-body overexpressing transgenic lines under drought conditions. OsERF71 overexpression in roots elevated the expression levels of genes related to cell wall loosening and lignin biosynthetic genes, which correlated with changes in root structure, the formation of enlarged aerenchyma and high lignification levels. Furthermore, OsERF71 was found to directly bind to the promoter of OsCCR1, a key gene in lignin biosynthesis. These results indicate that the OsERF71-mediated drought resistance pathway recruits factors involved in cell wall modification to enable root morphological adaptations, thereby providing a mechanism for enhancing drought resistance.

The interaction of mircroRNA171f with SCARECROW-LIKE6-I and II enhances drought stress tolerance through regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis genes in rice

Project description:Plants have evolved a sophisticated defense system to survive under natural drought conditions. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small noncoding RNAs that act as a post-transcriptional regulator in the environmental stress response and developmental process. Although many studies have reported the involvement of the miRNAs in drought response, molecular mechanisms by which miRNAs confer drought tolerance remain elusive. Here, we show that MIR171f, a member of MIR171 gene family, is mainly expressed in response to drought stress and regulate transcript levels of SCARECROW-LIKE6-I (SCL6-I) and SCL6-II. The SCL6 genes are known to be involved in shoot branching and flag leaf morphology. The MIR171f-overexpressing (MIR171f-OE) transgenic plants showed reduced drought symptoms as compared with non-transgenic (NT) control plants under both field drought and PEG-mediated dehydration stress conditions. Transcriptome analysis using the MIR171f-OE and mir171f-K/O mutants revealed that MIR171f regulates the expression of flavonoid biosynthesis genes, consequently leading to drought tolerance. Flavonoid biosynthesis genes were up-regulated in MIR171f-OE plants as compared with NT control plants under both normal and drought conditions. Together, our findings demonstrated that MIR171f plays an important role in plant drought-tolerance mechanism by regulating transcript levels of SCL6-I and SCL6-II.

Affymetrix Cotton Genome array expression data of root tissue of Gossypium herbaceum under drought stress and watered condition

Project description:Genome-wide Transcriptional Analysis of Genes Associated with Drought Stress in Gossypium herbaceum root This experiment was designed to investigate the molecular mechanism associated with drought tolerance in root tissue of Gossypium herbaceum. The gene expression profiles of the root tissue using Affymetrix Cotton Genome Array were compared with drought tolerant and drought sensitive genotype of G.herbaceum under drought stress and watered condition. Many genes in various molecular function or biological processes were over- or under-represented between drought tolerant and sensitive genotype, suggesting various molecular mechanism and biochemical pathways are interlinked and tolerant genotype have developed multiple mechanisms as an adaptory behavior against drought stress. The transcriptional responses of root tissue in drought tolerant and sensitive genotype of Gossypium herbaceum under drought stress have been investigated. Physiological responses to drought stress, such as stomatal conductance, water use efficiency, root bending assay on different mannitiol concentration were also measured as indicators of imposed drought stress. Total RNA was isolated from root tissue from both genotype under drought stress and normal irrigated condition with three biological replicates

Comparative RNA-seq analysis of the drought-sensitive lentil (Lens culinaris) root and leaf under short- and long-term water deficits

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.

A lamin-like protein OsNMCP1 regulates drought resistance and root growth partially through chromatin accessibility modulation by interacting with a chromatin remodeler OsSWI3C in rice

Project description:Lamin proteins in animals are implicated in many nuclear functions, including chromatin organization, signaling transduction, gene regulation, and cell differentiation. Nuclear Matrix Constituent Proteins (NMCPs) are lamin analogues in plants, but their regulatory functions remain largely unknown. In this work, we report that OsNMCP1 positively regulates root growth and drought resistance through modulating chromatin state and expression levels of many genes functioning in root growth and stress resistance. OsNMCP1 is localized at the nuclear periphery and induced by drought stress. Overexpression of OsNMCP1 resulted in a deeper and thicker root system and enhanced drought resistance compared to the wild-type control. Assay for transposase accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) analysis revealed that OsNMCP1-overexpression altered chromatin accessibility in many genes related to drought resistance and root growth, including OsNAC10, OsERF48, OsSGL, and OsMSR15. Interestingly, OsNMCP1 can interact with SWITCH/SUCROSE NONFERMENTING (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex OsSWI3C. The reported drought resistance or root growth related genes that were positively regulated by OsNMCP1 were negatively regulated by OsSWI3C, and OsSWI3C overexpression led to decreased drought resistance. We propose that the interaction between OsNMCP1 and OsSWI3C may lead to release of OsSWI3C from the gene silencing complexes SWI/SNF under drought condition thus changing the chromatin accessibility in genes related to root growth and drought resistance.

The regulatory network of OsNAC6 targets drought-related genes orchestrating rice drought tolerance (RNA-Seq)

Project description:OsNAC6 is a stress responsive NAC transcription factor in rice known as a regulator for the transcriptional networks of the drought tolerance mechanisms. However, little is known about the associated molecular mechanisms for drought tolerance. Here, we identified OsNAC6-mediated root structural adaptation such as increased root number and root diameter that was sufficient to confer drought tolerance. Multiyear (5 years) drought field tests clearly demonstrated that OsNAC6 overexpression in roots produced higher grain yield under drought conditions. Genome-wide analyses revealed that OsNAC6 directly up-regulated 13 genes. Taken together, OsNAC6 is a valuable candidate for genetic engineering of drought-tolerant high-yielding crops.

Differential epigenetic regulation in leaves and roots of sugarcane submitted to drought stress

Project description:In order to increase our understanding on the epigenetic regulation in response to abiotic stresses in plants, sRNA regulation in sugarcane plants submitted to drought stress was analyzed. Deep sequencing analysis was carried out to identify the sRNA regulated in leaves and roots of sugarcane cultivars with different drought sensitivities. An enrichment of 22-nt sRNA species was observed in leaf libraries. The pool of sRNA selected allowed the analysis of different sRNA classes (miRNA and siRNA). Twenty eight and 36 families of conserved miRNA were identified in leaf and root libraries, respectively. Dynamic regulation of miRNA was observed and the expression profile of eight miRNA was verified in leaf samples by stem-loop qRT-PCR assay. Altered miRNA regulation was correlated with changes in mRNA levels of specific targets. 22-nt miRNA triggered siRNA-candidates production by cleavage of their targets in response to drought stress. Some genes of sRNA biogenesis were down-regulated in tolerant genotypes and up-regulated in sensitive in response to drought stress. Our analysis contributes to increase the knowledge on the roles of sRNA in epigenetic-regulatory pathways in sugarcane submitted to drought stress.
