Project description:Salt stress is a major abiotic stress that limits plant growth, development and productivity. Studying the molecular mechanisms of salt stress tolerance may help to enhance crop productivity. Sugar beet monosomic addition line M14 exhibits tolerance to salt stress. In this work, the changes in the BvM14 proteome and redox proteome induced by salt stress were analyzed using a multiplex iodoTMTRAQ double labeling quantitative proteomics approach. A total of 80 proteins were differentially expressed under salt stress. Interestingly, 42 potential redox-regulated proteins showed differential redox change under salt stress. A large proportion of the redox proteins were involved in photosynthesis, ROS homeostasis and other pathways. For example, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase changed in its redox state after salt treatments. In addition, three redox proteins involved in regulation of ROS homeostasis were also changed in redox states. Transcription levels of eighteen differential proteins and redox proteins were profiled. The results showed involvement of protein redox modifications in BvM14 salt stress response and revealed the short-term salt responsive mechanisms. The knowledge may inform marker-based breeding effort of sugar beet and other crops for stress resilience and high yield.

Project description:Salt stress response miRNA and their targets in sugar beet
Project description:Here, we first systematically identified and characterized responsive mRNAs expressed in roots of sugar beet at a genome-wide scale, focusing on salt-responsive mRNAs.
Project description:To identify known and novel miRNAs involved in the response and adaptation of sugar beet to short-term and long-term alkaline stress, miRNAs were identified by analysis of the deep sequencing of sRNA
Project description:Sugar beet M14 line is a unique germplasm, which exhibits salt stress tolerance. Root is the first organ to sense salt stress in the soil. Here we report changes of root membrane proteome of the M14 plants in response to salt treatment (0, 200 and 400 mM NaCl) using iTRAQ based LC-MS/MS quantitative proteomics. A total of 115 differentially expressed membrane proteins (96 increased and 19 decreased) were identified with a fold change greater than 2.0 or less than 0.5. The proteins were mainly involved in the processes of transport, signaling, stress and defense, energy, degradation, and transcription. These results have revealed interesting mechanisms underlying the M14 root response to the salt stress, which may have potential applications toward improving the salt tolerance of crops through genetic engineering and molecular breeding.

Project description:Background: Sugar beet is an important root crop, accounting for 30 % of the sugar production worldwide. The long growing season make sugar beets exposed to a range of plant pathogens for longer periods than most other crops. Here, contrasting sugar beet genotypes were used for transcriptome analysis to reveal differential responses and new defense genes to Rhizoctonia solani, a soilborn fungal pathogen. Results: After curation of primary RNA-sequencing reads, 16,768 genes deriving from 36 samples composed of two susceptible and two resistant sugar beet genotypes, three time-points (0, two and five days post inoculation), each in three replicates were subjected for analysis. Among the elevated 217 transcripts at 2 dpi, three resistance-like genes (Bv4_088600_cumk, Bv8u_204980_frqg, and Bv_44840_iifo) were activated. By employing edgeR package statistics, 660 genes were significantly different (false discovery rate < 0.05) between resistant and susceptible genotypes in their response to R. solani inoculation. A combination of eukaryotic orthologous group assignments and gene ontology enrichment analyses, revealed three Bet v I/Major latex protein homologous genes (Bv7_162510_pymu, Bv7_162520_etow, Bv_27270_xeas) in the resistant genotypes after five days of fungal challenge. Co-expression network analysis of differentially expressed sugar beet genes further identified a MYB46 transcription factor, a plant disease resistance response protein (DRR206) and a flavonoid o-methyltransferase protein. MYB46 has a key function in secondary cell wall formation and exist as a singleton in the sugar beet genome. The genome of R. solani is enriched in cell wall degrading enzyme encoding genes and it is anticipated that they represent important virulence factors. Compared to Arabidopsis thaliana, sugar beet has 2.4-fold more carbohydrate esterases and particularly large numbers (26-fold) of auxiliary activity encoding genes whose function in cell wall biosynthesis is largely unknown. Conclusions: Based on components identified in this sugar beet transcript data set we conclude that defense responses to R. solani are attributed to a wide range of gene categories but functional information is missing to a large extent. This calls for careful integration to avoid negative side effects to obtain optimal combinations of these traits in order to reach the long-term goal of improved resistance in sugar beet.
Project description:Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and Beet soil-borne mosaic virus (BSBMV) belong to the genus Benyvirus. Both viruses share a similar genome organization, but disease development induced in their major host plant sugar beet displays striking differences. BNYVV induces excessive lateral root (LR) formation by hijacking auxin-regulated pathways; whereas BSBMV infected roots appear asymptomatic. To elucidate transcriptomic changes associated with the virus-specific disease development of BNYVV and BSBMV, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis of a virus infected susceptible sugar beet genotype.
Project description:In this study, we compared the gene expression pattern of A. niger grown in liquid sugar beet pulp (SBP) at different time points, a by-product of the sugar industry that consists mainly of cellulose, xyloglucan, and pectin. Finally, we compared A. niger genetic response to liquid SBP to that of the same fungus when grown on solid SBP plates and polygalacturonic acid (PGA).
