Project description:Duckweed-associated plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have attracted considerable attention for enhancing duckweed biomass production; however, the mechanisms underlying strain-specific plant growth promotion remain largely unknown. Here, we compared the effects of two duckweed-associated bacterial strains, Terrimicrobium sp. PS02 and Aeromicrobium sp. PS05, on the growth, biomass composition, colonization behavior, and transcriptomic responses of Spirodela polyrhiza. While both strains enhanced duckweed biomass, PS02 yielded a 1.2-fold increase, whereas PS05 induced a statistically significant increase (1.4-fold) compared with the uninoculated control. Markedly, PS05 established approximately one order of magnitude higher bacterial populations than PS02 and formed dense extracellular polymeric substance (EPS)-mediated microcolonies on duckweed surfaces. Transcriptome analysis revealed that PS05 induced 1,108 differentially expressed genes, compared with 454 genes for PS02, indicating substantially greater host transcriptomic reprogramming. Functional enrichment analyses demonstrated that PS05 preferentially regulated carbohydrate biosynthesis and central carbon metabolism. Consistently, both transcriptomic and RT-qPCR analyses showed up-regulation of key genes involved in starch biosynthesis and carbon allocation, resulting in significantly enhanced starch accumulation and turion formation without reducing protein or photosynthetic pigment content. This study provides the first integrated evidence linking bacterial colonization strategy, host transcriptomic regulation, carbon allocation, and biomass production in duckweed, thereby establishing a mechanistic basis for engineering high-performance duckweed–microbiome systems for sustainable biomass production.

Project description:Duckweeds are a monophyletic group of rapidly reproducing aquatic monocots in the Lemnaceae family. Spirodela polyrhiza, the Greater Duckweed, has the largest body plan yet the smallest genome size in the family (1C = 150 Mb). Given their clonal, exponentially fast reproduction, a key question is whether genome structure is conserved across the species in the absence of meiotic recombination. We generated a highly contiguous, chromosome-scale assembly of Spirodela polyrhiza line Sp7498 using Oxford Nanopore plus Hi-C scaffolding (Sp7498_HiC) that is highly syntenic with a related line (Sp9509). Both the Sp7498_HiC and Sp9509 genome assemblies reveal large chromosomal misorientations in a recent PacBio assembly of Sp7498, highlighting the necessity of orthogonal long-range scaffolding techniques like Hi-C and BioNano optical mapping. Proteome analysis of Sp7498 verified the expression of nearly 2,250 proteins and revealed a high level of proteins involved in photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism among other functions. In addition, a strong increase in chloroplast proteins was observed that correlated to chloroplast density. This Sp7498_HiC genome was generated cheaply and quickly with a single Oxford Nanopore MinION flow cell and one Hi-C library in a classroom setting. Combining these data with a mass spectrometry-generated proteome, demonstrates that duckweed is a model for genomics- and proteomics-based education.

Project description:We performed RNA-seq on microdissected regions of Lemna minor (clone 8623) and Spirodela polyrhiza (clone 9509) fronds, alongside the related aroids Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce) and Colocasia esculenta (taro), to define region-specific transcriptomes and compare organ-identity programmes across species. Transcript abundance was quantified with Salmon v1.10.0 and cross-species comparisons were performed on 6,230 one-to-one orthologues identified by OrthoFinder v3.0.1b1.

Project description:<p>We use untargeted metabolomics to investigate the immediate phytochemical effects of autopolyploidy on our model system, the greater duckweed <em>Spirodela polyrhiza</em>, a small aquatic macrophyte from the family Lemnaceae. We compare metabolite abundances in four genetically distinct diploid-autotetraploid pairs to address potential implications for establishment and combine traditional dry mass normalization with nuclear density information to investigate the link with gene dosage. We found that autopolyploidy increases metabolite levels per cell, although there is considerable variation in the response of individual metabolites. However, the impact on metabolite level per biomass is limited because the increased cell size reduces metabolite concentration per cell. Nevertheless, whole genome duplication (WGD) still exerts a discernible quantitative and qualitative influence on the phytochemical composition of our strains, each with potential ecological implications. While some metabolite levels are consistently higher in all tetraploids, many effects are restricted to a single strain, reflecting the importance of genetic background.</p>

Project description:Duckweeds are small, rapidly growing aquatic flowering plants. Due to their ability for biomass production at high rates they represent promising candidates for biofuel feedstocks. Duckweeds are also excellent model organisms because they can be maintained in well-defined liquid media, usually reproduce asexually, and because genomic resources are becoming increasingly available. To establish a framework for quantitative metabolic research in duckweeds we derived a central carbon metabolism network model of Lemna gibba based on its draft genome. Lemna gibba fronds were grown in a photomixotrophic mode in liquid media under continuous light with 13C-labeled glucose as a carbon source. Two different conditions (nitrate vs. glutamine as nitrogen source) were compared by quantification of growth kinetics, metabolite levels, metabolic flux and transcript abundance.

Project description:The Lemnaceae (duckweeds) are the world’s smallest but fastest growing flowering plants, with a drastically reduced morphology and predominant clonal reproductive habit capable of continuous exponential growth. Here, we present assemblies of 10 Lemna chromosome sets by single molecule nanopore sequencing and chromosome conformation capture. Dynamics of genome evolution in the family are revealed by syntenic comparisons with Wolffia and Spirodela, and diversification of these genera was found to coincide with the “Azolla event”, in which blooms of aquatic macrophytes reduced atmospheric CO2 from greenhouse levels found in the Eocene to those of the current ice age. Orthologous gene comparisons with other aquatic and terrestrial plants uncovered candidate genes for the unique metabolic and developmental features of the family, such as frequent hybrid polyploidy, lack of stomatal closure in high CO2, and accumulation of calcium oxalate, a promising candidate for carbon sequestration. Loss of a spermine-triggered gene network accounts for drastic reduction in stature and preferentially adaxial stomata, a feature of floating aquatic plants. Strikingly, Lemnaceae genomes have selectively lost some of the genes required for RNA interference, including Argonaute genes required for post-zygotic reproductive isolation (the triploid block) and reduced gamete formation. Triploid hybrids arise commonly among Lemna, presumably by hybridization with unreduced gametes, and we have found mutations in highly-conserved ZMM crossover pathway genes that could support polyploid meiosis. Rapid but stable clonal propagation makes Lemna an ideal platform for protein and starch micro-cropping, and for sequestration of dissolved nutrients and atmospheric CO2. Facile regeneration of transgenic fronds from tissue culture, aided by reduced epigenetic silencing, makes Lemna a powerful biotechnological platform, as exemplified by our recent engineering of high-oil Lemna lines that out-perform with oil seed crops.
