Project description:Salt stress is one of the most severe environmental conditions which cause huge losses in crop production worldwide. We identified an essential regulator of salt stress RSA3 and used the Affymetrix whole-genome arrays to study the effect of rsa3-1 mutation on global gene expression under salt stress. A set of genes differentially expressed in rsa3-1 under salt stress are identified.
Project description:Zymomonas mobilis is an excellent ethanologenic bacterium. Biomass pretreatment and saccharification provides access to simple sugars, but also produces inhibitors such as acetate and furfural. Our previous work has identified and confirmed the genetic change of a 1.5-kb deletion in the sodium acetate tolerant Z. mobilis mutant (AcR) leading to constitutively elevated expression of a sodium proton antiporter encoding gene nhaA, which contributes to the sodium acetate tolerance of AcR mutant. In this study, we further investigated the responses of AcR and wild-type ZM4 to sodium acetate stress in minimum media using both transcriptomics and a metabolic labeling approach for quantitative proteomics the first time. Proteomic measurements at two time points identified about eight hundreds proteins, or about half of the predicted proteome. Extracellular metabolite analysis indicated AcR overcame the acetate stress quicker than ZM4 with a concomitant earlier ethanol production in AcR mutant, although the final ethanol yields and cell densities were similar between two strains. Transcriptomic samples were analyzed for four time points and revealed that the response of Z. mobilis to sodium acetate stress is dynamic, complex and involved about one-fifth of the total predicted genes from all different functional categories. The modest correlations between proteomic and transcriptomic data may suggest the involvement of posttranscriptional control. In addition, the transcriptomic data of forty-four microarrays from four experiments for ZM4 and AcR under different conditions were combined to identify strain-specific, media-responsive, growth phase-dependent, and treatment-responsive gene expression profiles. Together this study indicates that minimal medium has the most dramatic effect on gene expression compared to rich medium followed by growth phase, inhibitor, and strain background. Genes involved in protein biosynthesis, glycolysis and fermentation as well as ATP synthesis and stress response play key roles in Z. mobilis metabolism with consistently strong expression levels under different conditions. A sixteen array study using total RNA recovered from wild-type cultures of Zymomonas mobilis subsp mobilis ZM4 and acetate-tolerant mutant AcR at different time points of 130, 148, 166, and 190h post-inoculation with 10g/L sodium acetate (NaAc) treatment were carried out to investigate the expression differences between ZM4 and AcR. Two biological replicates for treatment or control condition.
Project description:The aim of this project is to highlight the differentially abundant proteins in Col-0 and WS aboveground tissue under normal growth conditions and salt stress using a global proteomic approach. This study provides new insights on the molecular network existing between these two accessions under environmental changes.
Project description:Salinity stress poses a significant risk to agricultural yield and productivity. Therefore, elucidation of plant salt-response mechanisms has become essential to identify stress-tolerance genes. In the present study, two pearl millet genotypes with contrasting salt-tolerance showed differential morpho-physiological and proteomic responses under 150 mM NaCl, and the genotype IC 325825 could withstand salt-stress better than IP 17224. The salt-tolerance potential of IC 325825 was associated with its ability to maintain ionic, osmotic balance and membrane integrity under stress. The IC 325825 exhibited better growth under salinity as compared to IP 17224 due to higher expression of C4 photosynthesis enzymes, efficient antioxidant system, and lower Na+/K+ ratio. Comparative proteomics analysis revealed greater metabolic perturbation in IP 17224 under salinity, in contrast to IC 325825 that harbored pro-active stress-responsive machinery, allowing its survival and better adaptability under salt-stress. The differentially expressed proteins were in-silico characterized for their functions, subcellular-localization, pathway/ interaction analysis, and relative transcript levels. This study has provided novel insights into salinity stress adaptive mechanisms in pearl millet, demonstrating the power of proteomics-based approaches. The critical proteins identified in the present study could be further explored as potential objects for increasing salt-tolerance in sensitive crop plants.
Project description:This study provides novel insights into archaeal stress response. The effect of nutrient limitation on the thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius was monitored over time on transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolic level. To our knowledge, this linkage of transcriptome, proteome, metabolome analysis makes this study a pioneer study to elucidate cellular stress response triggered by nutrient limitation. We further connect previously identified pH and salt stress responsive genes (1) with genes regulated in starvation and suggest that they constitute the core of stress responsive genes active under multiple stress sources.

Project description:Garlic transcriptome under normal conditions and salt stress
Project description:Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts crop growth and yield. Here, crucial proteins and biological pathways were investigated under salt-stress and recovery conditions in Tritipyrum “Y1805” to explore its salt-tolerance mechanism. In total, 44 and 102 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in “Y1805” under salt-stress and recovery conditions, respectively. A proteome-transcriptome-associated analysis revealed that the expression patterns of 13 and 25 DEPs were the same under salt-stress and recovery conditions, respectively. “Response to stimulus”, “antioxidant activity”, “carbohydrate metabolism”, “amino acid metabolism”, “signal transduction”, “transport and catabolism” and “biosynthesis of other secondary metabolites” were present under both conditions in “Y1805”. In addition, “energy metabolism” and “lipid metabolism” were recovery-specific pathways, while “antioxidant activity”, and “molecular function regulator” under salt-stress conditions, and “virion” and “virion part” during recovery, were “Y1805”-specific compared with the salt-sensitive wheat “Chinese Spring”. “Y1805” contained 83 specific DEPs related to salt-stress responses. The strong salt tolerance of “Y1805” could be attributed to the strengthened cell walls, reactive oxygen species scavenging, osmoregulation, phytohormone regulation, transient growth arrest, enhanced respiration, ammonium detoxification, transcriptional regulation and error information processing. These data will facilitate an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance and aid in the breeding of salt-tolerant wheat.
