Project description:Plants can synthesize a wide range of terpenoids in response to various environmental cues. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms governing terpenoid biosynthesis at the cellular level remain largely elusive. Herein, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to comprehensively characterize the transcriptome profile of cotton leaves and established a hierarchical transcriptional network regulating cell-specific terpenoid production.

Project description:Artemisia argyi Lev. et Vant., a common ancient compositae species, is widely utilized in traditional Chinese medicine. The underlying mechanism of terpenoid biosynthesis in leaf has been suggested to play an important role in this medicine. However, the transcriptome of A. argyi has not been established. Here, we performed RNA sequencing in leaf, root and stem tissues to identify all possibly transcribed genes. We assembled a total of 99,807 unigenes by analyzing the expression profiling that were generated from the three tissues. Of them, 67,446 unigenes (67.58%) were annotated from public databases including GO, KEGG, COG. We further performed differential gene expression analysis between leaf with stem and root tissue. Our findings revealed that a total of 7,725 unigenes were specified transcribed in leaf. In particular, we determined multiple genes, which encode significant enzymes including HMGR, MVD, DXS, DXR, HDS and HDR, and transcription factors related to terpenoid synthesis. This study established a valuable resource of transcriptome and identified many transcribed genes related to terpenoid biosynthesis, providing the genomic basis for further studies on the molecular mechanism of the medicine for this species.

Project description:Glandular trichomes (GTs) are epidermal structures that provide the first line of chemical defense against arthropod herbivores and other biotic threats. The most conspicuous structure on leaves of cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the type-VI GT (tVI-GT), which accumulates both flavonoids and volatile terpenoids. Although these classes of specialized metabolites are derived from distinct metabolic pathways, previous studies with a chalcone isomerase 1 (CHI1)-deficient mutant called anthocyanin free (af) showed that flavonoids are required for terpenoid accumulation in tVI-GTs. Here, we combined global transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of isolated trichomes as a starting point to show that the lack of CHI1 is associated with reduced levels of terpenoid biosynthetic transcripts and enzymes. The flavonoid deficiency in af trichomes also resulted in the upregulation of abiotic stress-responsive genes associated with DNA damage and repair. Several lines of biochemical and genetic evidence indicate that the terpenoid defect in af mutants is specific for the tVI-GT and is associated with the absence of bulk flavonoids rather than loss of CHI1 per se. A newly developed genome-scale model of metabolism in tomato tVI-GTs helped identify metabolic imbalances caused by the loss of flavonoid production. We provide evidence that flavonoid deficiency in this cell type leads to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may impair terpenoid biosynthesis. Collectively, our findings support a role for flavonoids as ROS-scavenging antioxidants in GTs.

Project description:Plants have evolved diverse defense mechanisms encompassing physical and chemical barriers. Cotton pigment glands are known for containing various defense metabolites, but the precise regulation of gland size to modulate defense compound levels remains enigmatic. Here, it is discovered that the VQ domain-containing protein JAVL negatively regulates pigment gland size and the biosynthesis of defense compounds, while the MYC2-like transcription factor GoPGF has the opposite effect. Notably, GoPGF directly activates the expression of JAVL, whereas JAVL suppresses GoPGF transcription, establishing a negative feedback loop that maintains the expression homeostasis between GoPGF and JAVL. Furthermore, it is observed that JAVL negatively regulates jasmonate levels by inhibiting the expression of jasmonate biosynthetic genes and interacting with GoPGF to attenuate its activation effects, thereby maintaining homeostatic regulation of jasmonate levels. The increased expression ratio of GoPGF to JAVL leads to enlarged pigment glands and elevated jasmonates and defense compounds, enhancing insect and pathogen resistance in cotton. These findings unveil a new mechanism for regulating gland size and secondary metabolites biosynthesis, providing innovative strategies for strengthening plant defense.

Project description:The resistance mechanisms evolved by insects to overcome host-plant allelochemicals is a key consideration in pest management. Camphor oil (EO) and its main component (i.e D-camphor) form a specific terpenoid-defensive system in camphor trees, Cinnamomum camphora. However, an emerging insect pest, Pagiophloeus tsushimanus has recently caused serious damage to this intractable plant species, which is largely elusive. Here, we used feeding bioassays and RNA-seq to investigate the mechanism underlying the resistance of the beetle to host-specific terpenoid defenses. Firstly, a hormetic response in both larval weight and developmental time was observed in terpenoid-feeding individuals, which is a highly generalized dose-response phenomenon in toxicology whereas occurs infrequently in the context of insect-plant interactions. Then, comparative transcriptome analysis between terpenoid-feeding and control groups indicated that both CYP450s-mediated metabolic resistance and CPs-mediated cuticular resistance were jointly employed to cope with terpenoid-induced stress. In addition, a small portion of genes involved in glucose transport pathway were up-regulated at the low D-camphor dose, suggesting an extra intake of glucose used for larval growth may contribute to a hormetic response. These findings probably implied that the dual terpenoid-resistance mechanisms existing in this specialist is an essential precondition for hormetic response in larval growth, ultimately contributing to successfully colonize host camphor trees with impunity. Overall, our study will open new avenues for understanding the insect-plant coevolutionary adaptation and developing durable pest control strategies.

Project description:The medicinal plant Xanthium strumarium L. (X. strumarium) is covered with glandular trichomes, which are the sites for synthesizing pharmacologically active terpenoids such as xanthatin. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of 21-24 nucleotide (nt) non-coding RNAs, most of which are identified as regulators of plant growth development. Identification of miRNAs involved in the biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites remains limited. In this study, high-throughput Illumina sequencing, combined with target gene prediction, was performed to discover novel and conserved miRNAs with potential roles in regulating terpenoid biosynthesis in X. strumarium glandular trichomes. Two small RNA libraries from leaves and glandular trichomes of X. strumarium were established. In total, 1,185 conserved miRNAs and 37 novel miRNAs were identified, with 494 conserved miRNAs and 18 novel miRNAs being differentially expressed between the two tissue sources. Based on the X. strumarium transcriptome data that we recently constructed, 3,307 annotated mRNA transcripts were identified as putative targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs. KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis suggested that some of the differentially expressed miRNAs, including miR6435, miR5021 and miR1134, might be involved in terpenoid biosynthesis in the X. strumarium glandular trichomes. This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of miRNAs in X. strumarium, which forms the basis for further understanding of miRNA-based regulation on terpenoid biosynthesis.

Project description:Glandular trichomes (GTs) are defensive structures that produce and accumulate specialized metabolites and protect plants against herbivores, pathogens, and abiotic stress. GTs have been extensively studied in angiosperms for their roles in defense and biosynthesis of high-value metabolites. In contrast, trichomes of gymnosperms have been described in fossilized samples, but have not been studied in living plants. Here, we describe the characterization of GTs on young stems of a hybrid white spruce. Metabolite and histological analysis of spruce GTs support a glandular function with accumulation of a diverse array of mono-, sesqui- and diterpenes including diterpene methylesters. Methylated diterpenes have previously been associated with insect resistance in white spruce. Headspeace analysis of spruce GTs showed a profile of volatiles dominated by monoterpenes and a highly diverse array of sesquiterpenes. Spruce GTs appear early during shoot growth, prior to the development of a lignified bark and prior to accumulation of terpenes in needles. Spruce GTs may provide an early, terpene-based chemical defense system at a developmental stage when young shoots are particularly vulnerable to foliage and shoot feeding insects, and before the resin duct system characteristic of conifers has fully developed.

Project description:Trichomes originate from epidermal cells and can be classified as either glandular or non-glandular. Gossypium species are characterized by the presence of small and darkly pigmented lysigenous glands that contain large amounts of gossypol. Here, using a dominant glandless mutant, we characterize GoPGF, which encodes a basic helix-loop-helix domain-containing transcription factor, that we propose is a positive regulator of gland formation. Silencing GoPGF leads to a completely glandless phenotype. A single nucleotide insertion in GoPGF, introducing a premature stop codon is found in the duplicate recessive glandless mutant (gl2gl3). The characterization of GoPGF helps to unravel the regulatory network of glandular structure biogenesis, and has implications for understanding the production of secondary metabolites in glands. It also provides a potential molecular basis to generate glandless seed and glanded cotton to not only supply fibre and oil but also provide a source of protein for human consumption.

Project description:Glandular epithelia including the mammary gland (MG) and the prostate are composed of basal cells (BC) and luminal cells (LC). Lineage tracing demonstrates that many glandular epithelia initially develop from multipotent basal stem cells (BaSCs) that are replaced in adult life by distinct pool of unipotent stem cells (SCs). However, adult unipotent BaSC can reactivate multipotency and give rise to LCs upon transplantation or oncogene expression, demonstrating the important plasticity of BaSCs in regenerative and pathological conditions, and suggesting that an active mechanism restricts multipotency in BaSCs during physiological conditions. The nature of this mechanism is currently unknown. Here, we assess whether basal and luminal cell-cell communication restricts multipotency in glandular epithelia. To this end, we performed lineage tracing of BCs together with the ablation of LCs in different adult glandular epithelia including MG, prostate, sweat glands and salivary glands and assessed the fate of BaSCs overtime. Interestingly, ablation of LCs reactivated multipotency in unipotent adult BaSCs from multiple epithelia. To understand the molecular mechanisms that controls multipotency in adult BaSCs, we performed population bulk-RNA-seq and single cell RNA-seq of FACS isolated adult mammary epithelial cells after LC ablation. Upon LC ablation, adult BCs activate a hybrid basal and luminal differentiation program before giving rise to LC, reminiscent of the genetic program that regulate multipotency during embryonic development. Different signaling pathways including Notch, Wnt and Egfr were activated in BaSC and their progeny following LC ablation and blocking these pathways inhibited adult BC multipotency. Altogether, our study demonstrates that heterotypic LC and BC communication is essential to maintain lineage fidelity in glandular epithelial SC during homeostasis and uncovers the lineage trajectory and signaling pathways that promote multipotency during tissue repair.
