Project description:Mannitol is a putative osmoprotectant contributing to salt tolerance in several species. Arabidopsis plants transformed with the mannose-6-phosphate reductase (M6PR) gene from celery were dramatically more salt tolerant (at 100 mM NaCl) as exhibited by reduced salt injury, less inhibition of vegetative growth, and increased seed production relative to the wild type (WT). When treated with 200 mM NaCl, transformants produced no seeds, but did bolt, and exhibited less chlorosis/necrosis and greater survival and dry weights than the WT. Without salt there were no M6PR effects on growth or phenotype, but expression levels of 2272 genes were altered. Many fewer differences (1039) were observed between M6PR and WT plants in the presence of salt, suggesting that M6PR pre-conditioned the plants to stress. Previous work suggested that mannitol is an osmoprotectant, but mannitol levels are invariably quite low, perhaps inadequate for osmoprotectant effects. In this study, transcriptome analysis reveals that the M6PR transgene activated the downstream abscisic acid (ABA) pathway by up-regulation of ABA receptor genes (PYL4, PYL5, and PYL6) and down-regulation of protein phosphatase 2C genes (ABI1 and ABI2). In the M6PR transgenic lines there were also increases in transcripts related to redox and cell wall-strengthening pathways. These data indicate that mannitol-enhanced stress tolerance is due at least in part to increased expression of a variety of stress-inducible genes.

Project description:In plants, pre-mRNA alternative splicing has been demonstrated to be a crucial tier that regulates gene expression in response to salt stress. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we studied the roles of DIGEORGE-SYNDROME CRITICAL REGION 14-like (AtDGCR14L) in regulating pre-mRNA splicing and salt stress tolerance. We discovered that Arabidopsis AtDGCR14L is required for maintaining plant salt stress tolerance and the constitutively spliced and active isoforms of important stress- and/or abscisic acid (ABA)-responsive genes. We also identified the interaction between AtDGCR14L and splicing factor U1-70k, which needs a highly conserved three amino acid (TWG) motif in DGCR14. Different from wild-type AtDGCR14L, the overexpression of the TWG-substituted AtDGCR14L mutant did not change salt stress tolerance or pre-mRNA splicing of stress/ABA-responsive genes. Additionally, SWITCH3A (SWI3A) is a core subunit of the SWI/SUCROSE NONFERMENTING (SWI/SNF) chromatin-remodeling complexes. We found that SWI3A, whose splicing depends on AtDGCR14L, actively enhances salt stress tolerance. These results revealed that AtDGCR14L may play an essential role in crosstalk between plant salt-stress response and pre-mRNA splicing mechanisms. We also unveiled the potential role of SWI3A in controlling salt stress tolerance. The TWG motif in the intrinsically disordered region of AtDGCR14L is highly conserved and crucial for DGCR14 functions.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana is a glycophyte with a low salt tolerance, while Eutrema is a halophyte with a very high salt tolerance. To elucidate the transcriptional basis of this difference, we performed hydroponis culture experiments where we grew plants under control conditions (25 mM NaCl) or under salt stress (200 mM NaCl for both species, 500 mM for Eutrema). Salt concentration was increased for the stress treatments by increments of 50 mM per day (25 mM on the first day). Plants were grown at the final NaCl concentration for an additional week, when rosettes were harvested for RNA isolation.Expression patterns were compared between treatments and between species.

Project description:Leaf senescence, the last step of leaf development which is important for plant’s fitness, proceeds with age but is modulated by various environmental stresses and hormones. Salt stress is one of the well-known environmental stresses that accelerate leaf senescence. However, the molecular mechanisms how the signal of salt stress is integrated into leaf senescence programs are still elusive. In this study, we characterized the function of an Arabidopsis APETALA 2/ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR (AP2/ERF) family transcription factor, ERF34, in salt stress-induced leaf senescence. ERF34 was differentially expressed under leaf senescence-inducing conditions including age, dark, and high salt. ERF34 negatively regulated salt stress-induced leaf senescence as well as promoted salt stress tolerance at diverse developmental stages. Analysis of genome-wide targets of ERF34 revealed that the overexpression of ERF34 could alter salt-responsive gene expression. Moreover, ERF34 directly bound to the promoters of EARLY RESPONSIVE TO DEHYDRATION 10 and RESPONSE TO DESICCATION 29A and activated their expression. Our findings imply that ERF34 is a key regulator in the convergence of salt stress response with the regulatory programs of leaf senescence and is a potential candidate for crop improvement, particularly by enhancing salt stress tolerance.

Project description:Salt stress is a major environmental factor limiting plant growth and development. Previous studies have indicated that the steroidal hormones—brassinosteroids (BRs) are important regulators of plant responses to salt stress. We found that bes1-D, a gain-of-function mutant of the BR-regulated transcriptional factor BES1 (AT1G19350) in Arabidopsis showed better salt tolerance than the wild-type plant (Col-0). Label-free based LC-MS/MS and proteomic analyses were performed to investigate protein expression in bes1-D and wild-type in response to salt stress.

Project description:Sprobolus virginicus is a halophytic C4 grass found in worldwide from tropical to warm temperate regions. A Japanese genotype showed a salinity tolerance up to 1,500 mM NaCl, a three-fold higher concentration than seawater salinity. To identify key genes involved in the regulation of salt tolerance in S. virginicus, random cDNA libraries were constructed from salt-treated leaves, and were introduced into Arabidopsis for salt tolerant plant screening. Eight independent transgenic lines were found to be more salt tolerant than wild type from the screen of 3011 lines on the medium containing 175 mM NaCl. Among the selected lines, two contained cDNAs encoding glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins (GRPs). To identify transcriptomic change in the GRP-transgenic line, we performed microarray analysis of the transgenic line and WTunder salt stress.

Project description:Soil salinity is one of the major factors that limits area of cultivable land and yield potential of crops. Considered as a moderately salt sensitive economically-important crop, biological processes involved in salt stress response in peanut remain elusive. Publishing of the genomic sequence of cultivar peanut represent a new opportunity for further research. ABA INSENSITIVE 4 (ABI4) is an evolutionary conserved transcription factor. Mutation of ABI4 in Arabidopsis enhanced salt tolerance of seedlings significantly by targeting and down-regulating of HKT1;1. However, few achievements were reported in other aspects. In this study, AhABI4s in peanut were first cloned and silenced via virus-induced gene silencing method. Phenotype analysis showed that down-regulation of AhABI4s enhanced salt tolerance of peanut significantly. According to proteome and phosphoproteome analysis, expression of 1,900 proteins and 2,620 phosphorylation sites were predicted to be affected by silencing of AhABI4s under salt stress. Proteins with ion transporting activity were enriched by GO analysis. Further analysis showed that, 31 proteins may participate in homeostasis maintain of Na+, K+, Ca2+, H+ and Cl- in plant cells. Combined transcriptome and proteome analysis indicated that 63 genes may regulated by AhABI4s directly and 7 of them, ABI5-like5, RABA1f, SCAMP3, PK, RP-S26e, HSP70, cysteine proteinase inhibitor, were able to interact with the predicted ion transporters. Silencing of AhABI4s altered down-stream protein-protein interaction network to regulate expression/phosphorylation level of ion transporters, and finally influence homeostasis under salt stress. This work provides novel insights for salt response mechanism research and offer important evidence for protein function study.
