Project description:Although previous studies have addressed the possible benefits of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis for rice plants under salinity, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we showed that rice colonized with AM fungi had better growth performance and higher K+/Na+ ratio under salt stress. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) responding to AM symbiosis especially under salt stress were obtained from RNA sequencing. AM-regulated DEGs in cell wall modification and peroxidases categories were mainly upregulated in shoots, suggesting AM symbiosis might assist in relaxing the cell wall and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). AM symbiosis indeed improved ROS scavenging capacity in rice shoots under salt stress. In addition, genes involved in Calvin cycle and terpenoid synthesis were enhanced by AM symbiosis in shoots and roots under salt stress, respectively. AM-upregulated cation transporters and aquaporin in both shoots and roots were highlighted. Strikingly, “protein tyrosine kinase activity” subcategory was the most significantly over-represented GO term among all AM-upregulated and downregulated DEGs in both shoots and roots, highlighting the importance of kinase on AM-enhanced salinity tolerance. Overall, our results from the transcriptomic analyses indicate that AM symbiosis uses a multipronged approach to help plants achieve salt stress tolerance.

Project description:Background: Roots are essential for plant growth and serve a variety of functions, such as anchoring the plant to the ground and absorbing water and nutrients. OsERF106MZ is a salinity-induced gene that is expressed in germinating seeds and the roots of rice seedlings. However, the roles of OsERF106MZ in root growth remain poorly understood. Results: Histochemical staining of GUS (β-glucuronidase) activity in transgenic rice seedlings harboring OsERF106MZp::GUS indicated that OsERF106MZ is mainly expressed in the exodermis, sclerenchyma layer, and vascular system of roots. Overexpression of OsERF106MZ in rice seedlings leads to an increase in the length of primary roots (PRs). The expression of the ABA (abscisic acid) biosynthetic gene, OsAO3, is downregulated in OsERF106MZ-overexpressing roots under normal conditions, while the expression of OsNPC3, an AtNPC4 homolog involved in ABA sensitivity, is reduced in OsERF106MZ-overexpressin roots under both normal and NaCl-treated conditions. Under normal conditions, OsERF106MZ-overexpressing roots have a significantly low level of ABA; moreover, exogenous application of 1.0 µM ABA can suppress the OsERF106MZ-mediated promotion of root growth. Meanwhile, OsERF106MZ-overexpressing roots display less sensitivity to the ABA-mediated inhibition of root growth, when they are treated with ABA at 5.0 µM under normal conditions or exposed to NaCl-treated conditions. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-qPCR and luciferase (LUC) reporter assays showed that OsERF106MZ can bind directly to the sequence containing the GCC-box in the promoter region of OsAO3 gene and repress its expression. Conclusion: OsERF106MZ may play a role in maintaining root growth for resource uptake when rice seeds are sprouted under salinity stress, which is arrived at by alleviating the ABA-mediated inhibition of root growth.

Project description:Salinity tolerance is a complex trait and, despite many efforts to obtain rice plants resistant to salt, few results have been achieved since a deeper understanding of the tolerance mechanisms is still needed. We used imaging of photosynthetic parameters, ion analysis and transcriptomic approaches to unveil differences between two rice varieties differing in salt sensitivity. Moreover, we analysed H2O2 production in roots, using a fluorescent probe, and the ensuing gene regulation. Transcriptomic analyses conducted in tolerant plants supported the set-up of an adaptive program consisting of allocating sodium preferentially to roots, restricting it to the oldest leaves and activating regulatory mechanisms of photosynthesis in new leaves. As a consequence, plants resumed growth even under prolonged salt stress. By contrast, in the susceptible variety, RNA profiling unveiled a mis-targeted response, leading to senescence and cell death. In roots of tolerant plants, an increase in H2O2 was observed as early as 5 minutes after treatment. Consequently, the expression of genes involved in perception, signal transduction and response to salt were induced at earlier times when compared to susceptible plant roots. Our results demonstrate that a prompt H2O2 signalling in roots participates to a coordinated response resulting in adaptation instead of senescence in salt treated rice plants.

Project description:Background: Transcription factors (TFs), such as ERFs (Ethylene Responsive Factors), are important for regulating plant growth, development, and plant responses to abiotic stress. Notably, over half of the rice ERF-X group members are stress-responsive genes, including OsERF106. However, their regulatory roles in abiotic stress responses remain poorly understood. Results: The OsERF106, a salinity-induced gene of unknown function, was differently annotated in the RAP-DB and MSU RGAP. In this study, we isolated a novel (i.e., previously unannotated) OsERF106 gene and investigated its role in regulating growth and the response to salinity stress in rice. This OsERF106 is expressed in germinating seeds, primary roots, and developing flowers. Overexpression of the novel OsERF106 can cause a retardation of growth, a relatively high level of both MDA and ROS contents, a depression of CAT activity, and an overaccumulation of both Na+ and K+ ions in the transgenic rice shoots. Meanwhile, the expression of OsHKT1.3 is down-regulated in the shoots of transgenic seedlings grown under both normal and NaCl-treated conditions, while the expression of OsAKT1 is up-regulated in the same tissues grown under NaCl-treated conditions. Further analysis by microarray and qPCR indicated that the expression of several abiotic stress-responsive genes, such as OsABI5 and OsSRO1c, is also changed in the shoots of transgenic rice grown under either normal or NaCl-treated conditions. Conclusion: The novel OsERF106 negatively regulates shoot growth and salinity tolerance in rice through the disruption of ion homeostasis and modulation of stress-responsive gene expression.

Project description:Gene expression patterns in roots of Camelina sativa with enhanced salinity tolerance arising from growth in soil treated with plant growth promoting bacteria producing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACC deaminase) or from expression of the corresponding acdS gene in transgenic lines. Salinity stress negatively affects crop production. However in camelina, grown in soils treated with PGPB producing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (acdS ) or transgenic lines expressing acdS exhibited increased salinity tolerance. AcdS reducing the level of stress ethylene to below the point where it is inhibitory to growth. Gene expression patterns in roots responding to salt stress was affected by the expression of acdS under the control of CaMV 35S or root-specific (rolD) promoters in transgenic lines, or by growth in soils treated with endophytic PGPB producing acdS indicate that the number of the genes were differentially expressed were more assigned to genome III in transgenic plants however in PGPB treated plants the number of the genes were differentially expressed were almost equally assigned to all three genomes. Different promoter may induce different set or even different homeologues genes in camelina with probably the same function in response to salt stress. Though root is not a photosynthetic tissue reduction of the ethylene in root cells has positive effect on plant photosynthetic machinery. The expression of the genes involved in minor CHO metabolism was up-regulated mainly in roots of acdS contain plants during salt stress. Moderate reduction in ethylene production has positive effect on root growth during salt stress but reduction of the ethylene higher than a certain level has negative effect on root growth due to reduction of the expression of the genes involved in root cell elongation. AcdS gene modulating the level of ROS in cells in the level that induce ROS signaling but preventing cellular damage by make a balance on up and down-regulation of the genes involved in oxidation-reduction process in root cells under salinity stress. The acdS containing PGPB (8R6) were mostly effected the ethylene signaling and ABA biosynthesis and signaling in positive way but transgenic line depends to the promoter affecting Auxin, JA and BR signaling or biosynthesis.

Project description:By mining public co-expression databases, we have identified FBN6 as a photosynthesis-associated gene. FBN6 is located in thylakoids and plastoglobules, and its knock-out results in stunted plants characterized by slightly reduced chlorophyll contents, shorter roots and late flowering under long-day conditions. The delayed growth phenotype of fbn6-1 cannot be attributed to altered basic photosynthesis parameters or a reduced CO2 assimilation rate. FBN6 is also co-expressed with redox/ROS-associated genes, and we show that under moderate light stress, the primary leaves of fbn6 plants begin to bleach and contain enlarged plastoglobules. Furthermore, anthocyanin accumulation is reduced in fbn6 mutants. RNA-Seq and metabolomics analyses point to an altered sulfate assimilation leading to accumulation of reduced glutathione which in turn confers cadmium tolerance of fbn6 seedlings.

Project description:Purpose: To identify conserved and novel miRNAs in date palm and, most importantly, to identify miRNAs that could play a role in salt tolerance Methods: we generated sRNA libraries from the leaves and roots of NaCl-treated and untreated seedlings of date palm,then Deep sequencing of these four sRNA libraries,last The bioinformatics analysis,further validated using semi-quantitative PCR (qPCR). Results: Deep sequencing of these four sRNA libraries yielded approximately 251 million reads. The bioinformatics analysis has identified 153 homologs of conserved miRNAs, 89 miRNA variants, and 180 putative novel miRNAs in date palm. Expression profiles under salinity revealed differential regulation of most miRNAs in date palm. In leaves, all of the identified miRNAs were affected by the salinity treatment, and the majority (75%) of them were upregulated, whereas in roots, only 33% of the miRNAs were upregulated, but 44% of them were downregulated, while the remaining miRNAs (22%) were unaffected by the treatment. The salt responsiveness of some of these miRNAs was further validated using semi-quantitative PCR (qPCR). Some of the predicted targets for the identified miRNA include genes with known functions in plant salt tolerance, such as potassium channel AKT2-like proteins, vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein, and calcium-dependent and mitogen-activated proteins. As one of the first cultivated trees in the world with a wide range of abiotic stress tolerance, date palm contains a large population of conserved and nonconserved miRNAs that function at the posttranscriptional level. Conclusions: This study provided insights into miRNA-mediated gene expression that are important for adaptation to salinity in date palms.

Project description:The res (restored cell structure by salinity) mutant exhibits a remarkable growth inhibition and morphological alterations in roots and leaves, which are suppressed when the mutant plants are exposed to salinity. The analysis of mutants like res may be very helpful in understanding how plants are able to coordinate the balance between growth and stress, a fundamental and not fully-understood question of important agronomical implications In order to understand the molecular basis of phenotype recovery and tolerance induced by salt stress in res mutant, we carried out a comparative transcriptomic analysis between res and WT plants. This analysis revealed a constitutive alteration of an important number of genes involved in different pathways in res mutant, and identified genes specifically overexpressed under salt stress and responsible of both maintaining plant growth and promoting stress tolerance in res mutant.

Project description:Soybean's productivity is significantly compromised by soil salinity, but, like most plants, it has evolved a variety of mechanisms to aid its survival under environmental stress. The expression of many plant genes is altered by salinity stress. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression and identified distinct up or down-regulated genes between salinity stressed and non stressed soybean Seedlings of the soybean cultivar Williams 82 were grown in vermiculite under a 16h photoperiod at 25 ºC for 14 days. RNA were isolated from the mock (M0, M1, M3, M6, M12, M24) and salinity treated (S0, S1, S3, S6, S12, S24) seedlings. 0.5 µg RNA that extracted from each time point of the mock and salinity-stressed seedlings were mixed respectively to obtain the mock and salinity-stressed RNA pools, and then they were used to synthesize the cDNA. The cDNA was labeled with biotin, and then hybridized to an Affymetrix soybean Genome Array.
