Project description:Salt stress is one of the abiotic stresses that adversely affect plant growth and agricultural productivity all over the word. Root is the organ that immediately suffers salt stress in soil, and thus the ability of roots to adapt to high salinity is critical for salt stress tolerance in plants. During a long-term evolution, plants have developed a variety of strategies to respond to salt stress. The mechanisms of salt stress response are complicated and are stilly largely unknown. In this study, through the screening of Arabidopsis mutants that are sensitive to salt stress, we identified a mutant itpk4, that displayed reduced root growth, reduced seeds germination, and increased root hairs under salt stress compared with wild type plants. in future, the molecular mechanism underlying the role of ITPK4 in root elongation under high.
Project description:A comparative RNA-Seq analysis was done in root and shoot of Najran wheat cultivar between plants grown under two conditions: control (0 mM NaCl) and salt treatment (200 mM NaCl). The current study revealed differentially expressed genes and various associated biological pathways involved in plant responses to salt stress between the two conditions in the root and shoot plant tissues, providing important insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying salt tolerance in wheat.
Project description:Purpose: To compare RNASeq data of Frankia CcI3 in plants under salt stress. Casuarina glauca root nodules infected with Frankia CcI3 were exposed to either no salt or 100 mM NaCl for 21 days. RNA-seq analysis provided insight into how the sybiont responds to salt stress.
Project description:Isoprene, a volatile hydrocarbon, is typically emitted from the leaves and other aboveground plant organs; isoprene emission from roots is not well studied. Given its well-known function in plant growth and defense aboveground, isoprene may also be involved in shaping root physiology to resist belowground stress. We used isoprene-emitting transgenic lines (IE) and a non-emitting empty vector and/or wild type lines (NE) of Arabidopsis to elucidate the roles of isoprene in root physiology and salt stress resistance. We assessed root phenotype and metabolic changes, hormone biosynthesis and signaling, and stress-responses under normal and saline conditions of IE and NE lines. We also analyzed the root transcriptome in the presence or absence of salt stress. IE lines emitted isoprene from roots, which was associated with higher primary root growth, root biomass, and root/shoot biomass ratio under both control and salt stress conditions. Transcriptome data indicated that isoprene altered the expression of key genes involved in hormone metabolism and plant responses to stress factors. Our findings reveal that root constitutive isoprene emission sustains root growth also under salinity by regulating and/or priming hormone biosynthesis and signaling mechanisms, amino acids biosynthesis, and expression of key genes relevant to salt stress defense.
Project description:A Salt stress (100mM) was applied to root tips of Medicago truncatula (Jemalong A17 genotype) for 1h. Microarrays were used to compare the transcriptome of these plants (4 replicates) with the transcriptome of control plants, not submitted to the salt stress (4 replicates)
Project description:Salinity represses plant root growth, resulting in reduced biomass of agricultural plants. Little is known about how plants maintain root growth and development to counteract salt stress. SOS2-mediated PLT1/2 phosphorylation stabilizes PLT1/2, which is critical for root apical meristem maintenance under salt stress.
Project description:Global expression analysis of transcripts in response to salt treatment was carried out for common wheat using oligo-DNA microarrays. Microarrays have been designed from unique wheat genes classified from a large number of expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Two-week-old seedlings of common wheat were treated with 150 mM NaCl for 1, 6 and 24 hours and their roots and shoots were separately subjected to microarray analyses. Consequently, 5996 genes showed changes in expression of more than two-fold, and were classified into 12 groups according to correlations in gene expression patterns. These salt-responsive genes were assigned functions using Gene Ontology (GO) terms. Genes assigned to transcription factor, transcription-regulator activity and DNA binding functions were preferentially classified into early response groups. On the other hand, those assigned transferase and transporter activity were classified into late response groups. These data on gene expression suggest that multiple signal transduction pathways in response to salt treatment exist in wheat. Salt-responsive transcription factors (TFs), namely AP2/EREBP, MYB, NAC and WRKY, were selected and their expression patterns compared with those of rice. Most showed different expression patterns in wheat and rice in response to salt treatment. Furthermore, comparing the microarray data for wheat and rice, only a small number of genes were up- or down-regulated in common in response to salt treatment. These findings suggest that salt-responsive mechanisms distinct from rice might be present in wheat, and wheat genes can contribute to providing novel gene resources for breeding of salt-tolerant crops.

Project description:An TMT-based quantitative crotonylome analysis was performed on the crotonylated proteins enriched from the chloroplast extracts of the normal and salt-treated wheat seedling leaves by using affinity purification and LC-MS/MS. The crotonylated peptides from wheat chloroplast extracts were enriched by using anti-crotonyllysine mouse mAb (Clone 4D5) antibody (PTM BioLabs, HangZhou, China PTM-501 and Nano LC-MS/MS was performed by using a Dionex rapid-separation liquid chromatography system interfaced with a Q Exactive HF (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
Project description:Purpose: To characterize the functional implication of autophagy in the wheat response to stress, the key genes contributing in mediated salt tolerance of wheat seedlings through 3-MA were identified in normal or salt stress conditions in the presence or absence of added 3-MA by the transcriptome profiles. Methods: Four days after NaCl and 3-MA treatment, the roots and the third leaves were collected respectively with every 10 of them being mixed as one biological replicate for each treatment. Every treatment had four biological replicates. The wheat root and leaves mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: The RNA-Seq data had high quality and reliable results were obtained from the transcriptome assembly. A high correlation between biological replicates was observed for all treatments, which indicated that the four biological replicates were reliable in this study. Based on the principal component analysis (PCA), a clear separation between the NaCl-treated group and controls could be observed. The Q30 percentage (sequences with sequencing error rate lower than 0.1%) was over 94%, and the average GC content of the RNA-seq reads was 55.46%. After removing the adaptor and low-quality sequence, each library received 68310810-83844286 clean reads. These clean reads were mapped to the reference genome with match ratios in the range of 93.6%-95.9%, and 120744 genes predicted from the genome were found to be expressed (with FPKM > 0), including 25180 annotated genes in wheat genome. 3-MA treatment shifted the transcriptome a salt-stressed wheat seedling. The up-regulated DEGs and DEMs were increased, and the down-regulated DEGs and DEMs were decreased in 3-MA-added plants under NaCl stress condition. The study may help us understand the mechanism for 3-MA mediated salt tolerance and provide a theoretical basis for autophagy regulated salt response in wheat seedlings. Conclusions: 3-MA treatment shifted the transcriptome a salt-stressed wheat seedling. The up-regulated DEGs and DEMs were increased, and the down-regulated DEGs and DEMs were decreased in 3-MA-added plants under NaCl stress condition. The study may help us understand the mechanism for 3-MA mediated salt tolerance and provide a theoretical basis for autophagy regulated salt response in wheat seedlings.
