Project description:Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts crop growth and yield. Here, crucial proteins and biological pathways were investigated under salt-stress and recovery conditions in Tritipyrum “Y1805” to explore its salt-tolerance mechanism. In total, 44 and 102 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in “Y1805” under salt-stress and recovery conditions, respectively. A proteome-transcriptome-associated analysis revealed that the expression patterns of 13 and 25 DEPs were the same under salt-stress and recovery conditions, respectively. “Response to stimulus”, “antioxidant activity”, “carbohydrate metabolism”, “amino acid metabolism”, “signal transduction”, “transport and catabolism” and “biosynthesis of other secondary metabolites” were present under both conditions in “Y1805”. In addition, “energy metabolism” and “lipid metabolism” were recovery-specific pathways, while “antioxidant activity”, and “molecular function regulator” under salt-stress conditions, and “virion” and “virion part” during recovery, were “Y1805”-specific compared with the salt-sensitive wheat “Chinese Spring”. “Y1805” contained 83 specific DEPs related to salt-stress responses. The strong salt tolerance of “Y1805” could be attributed to the strengthened cell walls, reactive oxygen species scavenging, osmoregulation, phytohormone regulation, transient growth arrest, enhanced respiration, ammonium detoxification, transcriptional regulation and error information processing. These data will facilitate an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance and aid in the breeding of salt-tolerant wheat.

Project description:Purpose:Identification of genes and miRNAs responsible for salt tolerance in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) would help reveal the molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance. We performed physiological experiments and transcriptome sequencing (mRNA-seq and small RNA-seq) of cotton leaves under salt stress using Illumina sequencing technology. And quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) methods and to evaluate protocols for optimal high-throughput data analysis Methods:We investigated two distinct salt stress phases—dehydration (4 h) and ionic stress (osmotic restoration; 24 h)—that were identified by physiological changes of 14-day-old seedlings of two cotton genotypes, one salt tolerant and the other salt sensitive, during a 72-h NaCl exposure. A comparative transcriptomics approach was used to monitor gene and miRNA differential expression at two time points (4 and 24 h) in leaves of the two cotton genotypes under salinity conditions. Results:During a 24-h salt exposure, 819 transcription factor unigenes were differentially expressed in both genotypes, with 129 unigenes specifically expressed in the salt-tolerant genotype. Under salt stress, 108 conserved miRNAs from known families were differentially expressed at two time points in the salt-tolerant genotype. Conclusions:Our comprehensive transcriptome analysis has provided new insights into salt-stress response of upland cotton. The results should contribute to the development of genetically modified cotton with salt tolerance.

Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize the tissue tolerance mechanisms of rice under salt stress. Our preliminary experiment identified a japonica rice landrace Shuzenji-kokumai (SZK), which is considered to be tissue-tolerant because it can maintain better growth than salt-sensitive rice while having a high Na+ concentration in the shoots under salt stress. These mechanisms differ from those of most salt-tolerant rice varieties, which have low Na+ concentrations in the shoots. We compared the physiological and molecular characteristics of SZK with those of FL478, a salt-tolerant variety, and Kunishi, a salt-sensitive variety. Under salt stress conditions, SZK accumulated high levels of Na+ in roots, leaf sheaths, and leaf blades, which were almost as high as those in the salt-sensitive Kunishi. Simultaneously, SZK maintained better growth and physiological status, as determined by its higher dry weight, lower electrolyte leakage ratio, and lower malondialdehyde concentration. OsNHX1 and OsNHX2 were up-regulated in the leaf sheaths of SZK, suggesting that Na+ is compartmentalized in the vacuole to avoid Na+ toxicity. In contrast, FL478 showed up-regulation of OsHKT1;5 and OsSOS1 in the roots, which exclude Na+ from the shoots. RNA-seq analysis showed that 4623 and 1998 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in the leaf sheaths and leaf blades of SZK, respectively. Among them, the HSP (heat shock protein) gene expression was highly up-regulated only in SZK, indicating that SZK protects against the protein damage caused by Na+ toxicity. Our findings suggest that SZK has atypical survival mechanisms under salt-stress conditions. These mechanisms offer potential traits for improving salt tolerance in rice.
