Eucalyptus globulus-root proteome

ABSTRACT: Eucalyptus globulus (Labill.) is used for pulp and paper production worldwide. In this report we studied changes in protein expression in one osmotically stressed elite clone widely used in industrial plantations in Spain. High molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as an osmoticum in the growing medium. Roots of rooted cuttings were sampled after 3 and 36 hours of treatment. Water potential and abscissic acid content were measured in shoot and root apices to characterize the physiological states of the plants. Total soluble proteins from roots were extracted and separated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Gels were stained with Coomassie brillant blue for quantitative analysis of protein accumulation. From a total of 406 reproducible spots, 34 were found to be differentially expressed depending on treatment (osmotic versus control condition) and/or stress duration (3h versus 36h), and were further characterized by tandem mass spectrometry. Several proteins were reliably identified including adenosine kinase, actin, stress-related proteins as well as proteins associated to cellular processes, among which some residents of the endoplasmic reticulum. This study constitutes the first investigation of the root proteome in this important forest tree genus.

Project description:The loss of rooting capability following the transition from the juvenile to the mature phase is a known phenomenon in woody plant development. Eucalyptus grandis was used here as a model system to study the differences in gene expression between juvenile and mature cuttings. RNA was prepared from the base of the two types of cuttings before root induction and hybridized to a DNA microarray of E. grandis. In juvenile cuttings, 363 transcripts were specifically upregulated, enriched in enzymes of oxidation/reduction processes. In contrast, in mature cuttings, 245 transcripts were specifically upregulated, enriched in transcription factors involved in the regulation of secondary metabolites. A gene encoding for nitrate reductase (NIA), an enzyme that is known to be involved in nitric oxide (NO) production, was among the genes that were upregulated in juvenile cuttings. Concomitantly, a transient burst of NO upon excision was higher in juvenile cuttings than in mature ones. Treatment with a NO donor improved rooting of both juvenile and mature cuttings. A single NIA gene was found in the newly released E. grandis genome sequence, the cDNA of which was isolated, overexpressed in Arabidopsis plants and shown to increase NO production. Therefore, higher levels of NIA in E. grandis juvenile cuttings might lead to their better ability to produce NO and form adventitious roots. The Arabidopsis transgenic plants did not exhibit significantly increased lateral or adventitious roots, suggesting that spatial and temporal rather than a constitutive increase in NO is favorable for root formation. E. grandis seedlings were grown from seeds to the age of 6-7 months. The seedlings were pruned either at 10-15 cm or at 150-200 cm above the ground. The newly developed shoots were used as cuttings. To induce rooting, auxin (6000 ppm of K-IBA), was applied by quick dipping (20 sec). Stem cuttings taken from low-pruned seedlings were found to be easy-to root, exhibiting 45% rooting after 14 days and 60% after 35 days. These cuttings were defined as juvenile (RNA from two biological replicates was extracted). In contrast, stem cuttings taken from high pruned seedlings, barely rooted (5%) after 35 days, and were defined as mature (RNA from two biological replicates was extracted). The two biological replicates was used to dye swap experimental design.
