Differential proteomics investigation of foxtail millet unravels alteration of stress responsive proteins under drought

Project description:Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. P. Beauv) has been considered as a tractable model crop in recent years due to its short growing cycle, lower repetitive DNA, inbreeding nature, small diploid genome, and outstanding abiotic stress-tolerance characteristics. With modern agriculture often facing various adversities, it’s urgent to dissect the mechanisms of how foxtail millet responds and adapts to drought and stress on the proteomic-level.

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal symibiosis on gene expression in the foxtail millet roots

Project description:To investigate the involvement of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in the moleular regulation in foxtail millet roots and the effects of genetic variation on AMS-mediated molecular regulation, we isolated total RNA from the roots of 3 different landraces for comprehensive transcriptomic analysis. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 3 different landraces (Hanevalval, TT8, ICE36) after 6-week mock or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi treatments.

Transcriptomics-proteomics analysis reveals the role of SiNRX1 in regulating drought stress in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.)

Project description:the SiNRX1 of foxtail millet was knocked out by means of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and the drought resistance of SiNRX1 was identified at both the germination stage and the seedling stage. Moreover, through transcriptome sequencing and Data-independent acquisition (DIA) quantitative proteomics determination of sinrx1 mutants and wild types (WT) at the seedling stage under drought and control conditions, the molecular mechanism of SiNRX1 regulating drought resistance was preliminarily analyzed.

SiYSL1 may Paticipate in Iron Absorption, Transportation, and Grain Accumulation in Foxtail Millet

Project description:Iron (Fe) deficiency is a globally widespread condition in which the body lacks sufficient Fe to produce hemoglobin. However, major food crops generally have low grain Fe contents. Consequently, enhancing grain Fe concentrations is important for improving the health of populations that rely on grains as staple foods. Here, we isolated a yellow stripe leaf mutant of foxtail millet (Setaria italica), designated yellow stripe-like 1 (ysl1). This mutant exhibited typical Fe deficiency symptoms that were alleviated when grown under Fe-sufficient conditions. Compared with the wild-type, Siysl1 showed lower Fe concentrations in seedling roots, shoots, stems, elongation-stage leaves, panicles, and seeds, but a higher Fe concentration in heading-stage leaves. Using MutMap+, we identified and cloned SiYSL1 and validated its function through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout experiments. SiYSL1 encodes an Fe-phytosiderophore transporter and is highly induced under Fe deficiency conditions. Histochemical staining revealed that SiYSL1 is specifically expressed in vascular bundles of roots and leaves of plants grown under Fe deficiency conditions, and in spikelets, expanding ovaries, basal endosperm, and embryo-surrounding tissues. Thus, SiYSL1 appears to regulate Fe uptake and homeostasis, and plays an essential role in Fe translocation to seeds. The overexpression of SiYSL1 in rice and foxtail millet significantly increased seed Fe contents, suggesting its value in crop breeding. Predicted transcription factor binding sites in the SiYSL1 promoter and a spikelet transcriptome analysis indicated that transcription factors regulate SiYSL1 expression. Our study provides new genetic resources for the Fe bio-enhancement of food crops and insights into the mechanisms responsible for seed Fe accumulation.
