Project description:Malus hupehensis belongs to the Malus genus (Rosaceae) and is an indigenous wild crabapple of China. This species has received more and more attention, due to its important medicinal, and excellent ornamental and economical, values. In this study, the whole chloroplast (cp) genome of Malus hupehensis, using a Hiseq X Ten sequencing platform, is reported. The M. hupehensis cp genome is 160,065 bp in size, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 88,166 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 19,193 bp, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,353 bp. It contains 112 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and four ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The overall nucleotide composition is 36.6% CG. A total of 96 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified, most of them were found to be mononucleotide repeats composed of A/T. In addition, a total of 49 long repeats were identified, including 24 forward repeats, 21 palindromic repeats, and four reverse repeats. Comparisons of the IR boundaries of nine Malus complete chloroplast genomes presented slight variations at IR/SC boundaries regions. A phylogenetic analysis, based on 26 chloroplast genomes using the maximum likelihood (ML) method, indicates that M. hupehensis clustered closer ties with M. baccata, M. micromalus, and M. prunifolia than with M. tschonoskii. The availability of the complete chloroplast genome using genomics methods is reported here and provides reliable genetic information for future exploration on the taxonomy and phylogenetic evolution of the Malus and related species.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Many studies have been done to find out the molecular mechanism of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants in the past several decades. Numbers of researches have been carried out in the model plants such as arabidopsis, tobacco, rice and so on, however, with little work done in woody plants especially in fruit trees such as apple. Components of the pathway of SAR seem to be extremely conserved in the variety of species. Malus hupehensis, which is origin in China, is strong resistance with rootstock. In the study, we attempted to make the expression pattern of pathogenesis related (PR) genes which were downstream components of the SAR pathway in response to salicylic acid(SA), methyl jasmonate(MeJA) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid(ACC) in Malus hupehensis. FINDINGS: In order to analyze the expression pattern, the partial sequence of three PR genes from Malus hupehensis, MhPR1, MhPR5 and MhPR8 was isolated. These three PR genes were induced by SA, MeJA and ACC. However, MhPR1, MhPR5 and MhPR8 performed a distinct pattern of expression in different plant organs. MhPR5 and MhPR8 were basal expression in leaves, stems and roots, and MhPR1 was basal expression only in stems. The expression of MhPR1, MhPR5 and MhPR8 was enhanced during the first 48 h post-induced with SA, MeJA and ACC. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that a distinct pattern of expression of PR genes in Malus hupehensis which differed from the previous reports on model plants arabidopsis, tobacco and rice. MhPR1, MhPR5 and MhPR8 were induced by SA, MeJA and ACC, which were regarded as the marker genes in the SAR response in Malus hupehensis. In contrast with herbal plants, there could be specific signal pathway in response to SA, JA and ET for woody plants.

Project description:Excessive cadmium (Cd) damages plants by causing cell death. The present study discusses the function of natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) on cell death caused by Cd in Malus hupehensis. MhNRAMP1 was isolated from M. hupehensis roots, and its protein was located in the cell membrane as a transmembrane protein characterized by hydrophobicity. MhNRAMP1 expression in the roots was induced by Cd stress and calcium (Ca) deficiency. MhNRAMP1 overexpression increased Cd concentration in yeasts and enhanced their sensitivity to Cd. Phenotypic comparisons of plants under Cd stress revealed that the growth of transgenic tobacco and apple calli overexpressing MhNRAMP1 was worse than that of the wild type (WT). The Cd2+ influx of transgenic tobacco roots and apple calli was higher, and the recovery time of the Cd2+ influx to a stable state in transgenic apple calli was longer than that of the WT. Cd accumulation and the percentage of apoptotic cells in transgenic lines were higher. Correspondingly, the caspase-1-like and vacuolar processing enzyme (VPE) activities and MdVPE? expression were higher in transgenic apple calli, but the expression levels of genes that inhibit cell death were lower than those in the WT under Cd stress. Moreover, the Cd translocation from the roots to leaves was increased after MhNRAMP1 overexpression, but the Cd translocation from the leaves to seeds was not affected. These results suggest that MhNRMAP1 exacerbated Cd-induced cell death, which was accomplished by mediating Cd2+ uptake and accumulation, as well as stimulating VPE.

Project description:A long juvenile period between germination and flowering is a common characteristic among fruit trees, including Malus hupehensis (Pamp.) Rehd., which is an apple rootstock widely used in China. microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of phase transition and reproductive growth processes.M. hupehensis RNA libraries, one adult and one juvenile phase, were constructed using tree leaves and underwent high-throughput sequencing. We identified 42 known miRNA families and 172 novel miRNAs. We also identified 127 targets for 25 known miRNA families and 168 targets for 35 unique novel miRNAs using degradome sequencing. The identified miRNA targets were categorized into 58 biological processes, and the 123 targets of known miRNAs were associated with phase transition processes. The KEGG analysis revealed that these targets were involved in starch and sucrose metabolism, and plant hormone signal transduction. Expression profiling of miRNAs and their targets indicated multiple regulatory functions in the phase transition. The higher expression level of mdm-miR156 and lower expression level of mdm-miR172 in the juvenile phase leaves implied that these two small miRNAs regulated the phase transition. mdm-miR160 and miRNA393, which regulate genes involved in auxin signal transduction, could also be involved in controlling this process. The identification of known and novel miRNAs and their targets provides new information on this regulatory process in M. hupehensis, which will contribute to the understanding of miRNA functions during growth, phase transition and reproduction in woody fruit trees.The combination of sRNA and degradome sequencing can be used to better illustrate the profiling of hormone-regulated miRNAs and miRNA targets involving complex regulatory networks, which will contribute to the understanding of miRNA functions during growth, phase transition and reproductive growth in perennial woody fruit trees.

Project description:Malus hupehensis is an excellent Malus rootstock species, known for its strong adverse-resistance and apomixes. In the present study, stem cuttings of M. hupehensis were treated with three types of exogenous hormones, including indole acetic acid (IAA), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), or green growth regulator (GGR). The effects and mechanisms of exogenous hormone treatment and antioxidant enzyme activity on adventitious root formation were investigated. The results showed that the apparent morphology of the adventitious root had four stages, including root pre-emergence stage (S0), early stage of root formation (S1), massive root formation stage (S2), and later stage of root formation (S3). The suitable concentrations of the three exogenous hormones, IAA, NAA and GGR, were 100 mg·L-1, 300 mg·L-1, and 300 mg·L-1, respectively. They shortened the rooting time by 25-47.4% and increased the rooting percentages of cuttings by 0.9-1.3 times, compared with that in the control. The dispersion in S0 stage was 3.6 times of that in the S1 stage after exogenous hormone application. The earlier the third critical point (P3) appeared, the shorter the rooting time and the greater the rooting percentage of the cuttings. During rhizogenesis, the activities of three antioxidant enzymes (POD, SOD, and PPO) showed an A-shaped trend. However, peak values of enzyme activity appeared at different points, which were 9 d before the P3, P3, and the fourth critical point (P4), respectively. Exogenous hormone treatment reduced the time to reach the peak value by 18 days, although the peak values of the enzymatic activities did not significantly changed. Our results suggested that exogenous hormone treatment mainly acted during the root pre-emergence stage, accelerated the synthesis of antioxidant enzymes, reduced the rooting time, and consequently promoted root formation. The three kinds of antioxidant enzymes acted on different stages of rooting.

Project description:Brassinolide (BL) mediates various physiological processes and improves plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. However, the effects and mechanism of exogenous BL on the salt tolerance of apple seedlings remain unclear. Herein, we investigated the role of BL in the salt stress response of Malus hupehensis Rehd., a widely grown apple rootstock. Salt-stressed apple seedlings showed significant decline in chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate, and the application of 0.2 mg/L exogenous BL alleviated salt stress and maintained photosynthetic capacity. Exogenous BL application can strengthen the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase and thereby eliminates reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by salt stress and promote the accumulation of proline and soluble sugar, thus maintaining osmotic balance. Furthermore, exogenous BL application decreased Na+ accumulation and increased K+ content in shoots and roots under salt stress by regulating the expression levels of Na+(K+)/H + antiporter genes (MhNHXs). MhBZR1 and MhBZR2, which are the key transcription factors in the BR signal transduction pathway, can directly bind to the promoter of MhSOS1 and MhNHX4-1, respectively, and inhibit their expression. Our findings would provide a theoretical basis for analyzing the mechanism of exogenous BL application on the salt tolerance of apples.
