Project description:Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer is one of the most popular medicinal herbs. In order to research the genes that related to the flowering period of ginseng, and find out the antifungal proteins and transcription factors that combat various biotic and abiotic stress, a cDNA sample was prepared from the flowering period ginseng root of a five-year-old plant and sequenced using the Illumina sequencing platform. In this study, we produced nearly 40 million sequencing reads. These reads were assembled into 134,045 contigs using Trinity software (mean size: 282 bp). Based on a similarity search with known proteins, we identified 79,307 sequences with a cut-off E-value of 10-5. Assembled sequences were then annotated using gene ontology (GO) terms, clusters of orthologous group (COG) classifications and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways respectively.

Project description:Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) has long been cultivated as an important medicinal plant. Drought results from the moderate water loss, which primarily impairs the growth of ginseng and reduction of yield loss. However, basis of biological clues to understanding the accurate mechanisms related to drought stress in proteome level are still elusive. Therefore, we carried out label-free quantitative proteomic analysis using ginseng roots subjected to drought stress which was grown at less than 10% soil moisture for two weeks, compared with normal ginseng which was grown at 25% soil moisture. The acquired proteins were carried out label-free proteomic analysis using LC-MS/MS. This approach led to the identification of total 2,471 proteins, and out of 195 proteins showed significant modulation. Functional classification revealed that proteins related to secondary metabolites, calcium signaling, and photosynthesis were enriched in control sample (cluster_1), while proteins associated with stress responsive, redox, electron transport, and protein synthesis were mainly dominated in cluster_2 (drought stress condition). Taken together, our results provided an overview of the drought-induced proteomic changes in ginseng root, and it is correlated with physiological changes, contributing to reveal potential marker at proteome level in ginseng.
Project description:Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer is a precious Chinese herbal medicine belonging to the Araliaceae family. Because ginseng is extremely taboo, it seriously restricts the sustainable development of the ginseng industry. The allelopathic effect of triterpenoid saponins is one of the important incentives for continuous cropping disorders. However, there are few studies on the mechanism of allelopathic autotoxicity of triterpenoid ginsenosides. Therefore, this study took ginseng hairy roots as the research object, exogenously added ginsenoside Ro to regulate the growth of hairy roots, and measured the changes in its physiological and saponin content. It was found that ginseng hairy roots grew significantly under Ro-0.5 mg/L stress. Inhibition, the specificity of root tip cell injury was obvious, promoted the accumulation of endogenous hormones IAA and SA, and inhibited the accumulation of ABA and JA. The accumulation of ginsenosides was significantly inhibited (except Rg3) under Ro-0.5 mg/L stress. The mRNA analysis of the Ro-0.5 mg/L group and CK group showed that the differentially expressed genes were mostly concentrated in the hormone signal transduction pathway. The genes ARF7 and EFM were up-regulated, and XTH23 and ZOX1 were down-regulated, which can be used as important candidates for hormone-responsive continuous cropping disorders. Gene. 74 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified based on miRNA sequencing, of which 22 were up-regulated and 52 were down-regulated. The target genes of ptc-miR156k_L+1, mtr-miR156b-5p, gma-miR156a_R+1, and mtr-miR156e were all TRINITY_DN14567_c0_g4, TRINITY_DN14567_c0_g4 is a gene in the plant hormone signal transduction pathway, and the four miRNAs are all negatively correlated with mRNA, indicating that ptc-miR156k_L+1, mtr-miR156b-5p, gma-miR156a_R+1, and mtr-miR156e are very likely involved in ginseng Response to continuous cropping disorders and regulation of ginsenoside synthesis. Our findings will provide a useful platform for unraveling the continuous cropping barrier of ginseng and new insights into the genetic engineering of plant stress responses.
Project description:Korean ginseng is one of the most valuable medicinal plants worldwide. Yet, our understanding of ginseng proteomics is largely limited due to difficulties in extraction and resolution of ginseng proteins because of the presence of natural contaminants such as polysaccharides, phenols, and glycosides. Here, we compared four different protein extraction methods, namely, TCA/acetone, TCA/acetone–MeOH/chloroform, Phenol–TCA/acetone, and Phenol–MeOH/chloroform methods. Consequently, the TCA/acetone–MeOH/chloroform method displayed the highest extraction efficiency, thus it was used for the comparative proteome profiling of leaf, root, shoot, and fruit by a label–free quantitative proteomics approach. This approach led to the identification of 2,604 significantly modulated proteins among four tissues. We could pinpoint differential pathways and proteins associated with ginsenoside biosynthesis including the methylerythritol 4–phosphate (MEP) pathway, the mevalonate (MVA) pathway, UDP–glycosyltransferases (UGTs), and oxidoreductases (CYP450s). The current study reports an efficient and reproducible method for the isolation of proteins from a wide range of ginseng tissues and provides a detailed organ–based proteome map and a more comprehensive view of enzymatic alterations in ginsenoside biosynthesis.
