Elevated temperature accelerates leaf senescence and promotes leaf nitrogen transport to improve rice grain protein synthesis

ABSTRACT: Elevated temperatures during grain filling severely constrain rice yield and quality. Although additional nitrogen can mitigate the adverse effects of elevated temperature, both factors increase grain protein content, and the underlying physiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted actual field warming (2.28°C day/4.33°C night) during the grain-filling period and applied an additional 60 kg N ha-1. The grain weight of superior spikelets (SS) was 2.1% lower under elevated temperature (ET), while ET increased the grain weight by 4.23% and protein content by 2.95% in inferior spikelets (IS). ET promoted the level of free amino acids, improved the activities of glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase, and up-regulated the expression of an amino acid transporter gene (OsLHT1), mainly 9-15 days after flowering (DAF), in the leaf, ultimately accelerating leaf senescence post 20 DAF. Regardless of the temperature, the effect of nitrogen on leaves was similar to that of ET, while delaying leaf senescence and further increasing protein content in SS and IS. Metabolomic analysis further confirmed that ET accelerated leaf senescence and amino acid depletion in the leaves. Furthermore, the higher levels of L-histidine, along with increased levels of stress-responsive metabolites (D-raffinose and gentisic acid), collectively contributed to the improved protein content in IS under ET. Overall, the study provides insight into grain protein accumulation under warming.

Project description:Constituting the final growth phase during the lifecycle of maize (Zea Mays L.), leaf senescence plays an important biological role in grain yield in crops. We undertook proteomic and physiological analyses in inbred line Yu816 in order to unravel the underlying mechanisms of leaf senescence induced by preventing pollination. A total of 6,941 proteins were identified by Isobaric tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation (iTRAQ) analysis. Proteomic analyses between pollinated (POL) and non-pollinated (NONPOL) plants indicated that 973 different proteins accumulated in NONPOL plants. The accumulated proteins were classified into various groups, including response to stimuli, cellular processes, cell death and metabolic processes using functional analysis. Furthermore, in accordance with the changes in these different accumulated proteins, analysis of changes in leaf total soluble sugars and starch content showed that the prevention of pollination can disturb endogenousplant hormone and sugar metabolism and lead to ROS bursts, protein degradation and photosystem breakdown, eventually resulting in leaf senescence. This represents the first attempt at global proteome profiling in response to induced leaf senescence by preventing pollination in maize, and provides a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in induced leaf senescence.Constituting the final growth phase during the lifecycle of maize (Zea Mays L.), leaf senescence plays an important biological role in grain yield in crops.

Project description:Enhancing grain production of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a top priority in ensuring food security for human being. One approach to increase yield is to delay leaf senescence and to extend the available time for photosynthesis. microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators for aging and cellular senescence in eukayotes. However, miRNAs and their roles in rice leaf senescence remain unexplored. Here, we report identification of miRNAs and their putative target genes by deep sequencing of six small RNA libraries, six RNA-seq libraries and two degradome libraries from the leaves of two super hybrid rice, Nei-2-You 6 (N2Y6, age-resistant rice) and Liang-You-Pei 9 (LYP9, age-sensitive rice). Totally 372 known miRNAs and 162 miRNA candidates were identified, and 1145 targets were identified. Compared with the expression of miRNAs in the leaves of LYP9, the numbers of miRNAs up-regulated and down-regulated in the leaves of N2Y6 were 47 and 30 at early stage of grain-filling, 21 and 17 at the middle stage, and 11 and 37 at the late stage, respectively. Six miRNA families, osa-miR159, osa-miR160 osa-miR164, osa-miR167, osa-miR172 and osa-miR1848, targeting the genes encoding APETALA2 (AP2), zinc finger proteins, salicylic acid-induced protein 19 (SIP19), Auxin response factors (ARF) and NAC transcription factors, respectively, were found to be involved in leaf senescence through phytohormone signaling pathways. These results provided valuable information for understanding the miRNA-mediated leaf senescence of rice, and offered an important foundation for rice breeding.
