Project description:Flavonoid biosynthesis in grape berry skin is affected by environmental factors such as light and temperature. However, the components of the light-signaling and low-temperature-induced ABA signaling networks related to flavonoid accumulation in grape berry skin have not been fully elucidated. To clarify details of the possible light- and ABA-related signal transduction networks, we performed comprehensive transcriptome analysis using grape berries cultured under different light and temperature conditions. We identified 40 light-inducible genes, 55 low-temperature-inducible genes, and 34 genes induced by light plus low temperature.
Project description:Dendrobium huoshanense C.Z. Tang et S.J. Cheng is a perennial epiphytic herb of family Orchidaceae, which main metabolites are polysaccharides, flavonoids, etc. Low temperature is the main environmental factor that limits the growth and development of plants, and even threatens the survival of plants. However, Changes that occur at the molecular level in response to low temperatures are poorly understood in D. huoshanense. To understand the molecular mechanism of cold tolerance, we performed transcriptomic analysis on two time points of 0 d (control group) and 7 d (cold stress group). A total of 37.63 Gb transcriptomic data were generated using the MGI 2000 platform. These reads were assembled into 170,754 transcripts, and 23,724 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained. Pathway analysis indicated that “flavonoid biosynthesis”, “anthocyanin biosynthesis”, “flavone and flavonol biosynthesis”, and “plant hormone signal transduction” might play a vital role in D. huoshanense responses to cold stress. Several important pathways genes such as genes encoding polysaccharides, flavonoid, and plant hormone-signaling transduction kinase were identified under cold stress. In addition, the contents of mannose and total flavonoids increased under cold stress. Twelve DEGs in polysaccharides, flavonoid, and hormone pathways were selected from transcriptome analysis for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) validation. Our results provide a transcriptome database and candidate genes for further study of D. huoshanense cold stress.

Project description:High temperature and drought are the primary yield-limiting environmental constraints for staple food crops. Heat shock transcription factors (HSF) terminally regulate the plant abiotic stress responses to maintain growth and development under extreme environmental conditions. HSF genes of Subclass A2 predominantly express under heat stress (HS) and activate the transcriptional cascade of defense-related genes. In this study, a highly heat-inducible HSF, HvHSFA2e was constitutively expressed in barley (Hordeum vulgareL.) to investigate its role in abiotic stress response and plant development. Transgenic barley plants displayed enhanced heat and drought tolerance in terms of increased chlorophyll content, improved membrane stability, reduced lipid peroxidation, and less accumulation of ROS in comparison to wild-type (WT) plants. Transcriptome analysis revealed that HvHSFA2e positively regulates the expression of abiotic stress-related genes encoding HSFs, HSPs, and enzymatic antioxidants, contributing to improved stress tolerance in transgenic plants. The major genes of ABA biosynthesis pathway, flavonoid, and terpene metabolism were also upregulated in transgenics. Our findings show that HvHSFA2e mediated upregulation of heat-responsive genes, modulation in ABA and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways enhance drought and heat stress tolerance.

Project description:Overexpression of NtPhyA gene under low temperature stress improved the cold resistance of tobacco. The transcriptome analysis found that NtPhyA affected the biosynthesis of lysine, metabolism of ascorbic acid and aldehyde acid, metabolism of glutathione, inositol phosphate metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, TCA cycle, plant hormone signal transduction, metabolism of secondary metabolites and other pathways.
Project description:To understand how CTS-12 the ABA-dependent multi-levels of regulation, the integration of transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling using the two-way orthogonal projections to latent structures (O2PLS) and OPLS discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) modeling was performed to investigate the mechanisms underlying chilling tolerance. Our results revealed that metabolic flux shifts, including the activation of stachyose biosynthesis, amino acid metabolism pathways, phenylpropanoid/flavonoid biosynthesis, and ABA biosynthesis, and inhibition of glycolysis, occurred under chilling treatment, and in the recovery period, the differentially expressed genes/metabolites (DEGs/DEMs) that mapped to glutamate-related pathways, β-alanine biosynthesis and degradation, and serotonin biosynthesis pathways were differentiated between 9311 and DC90. Particularly, the differential alterations of the DEMs/DEGs, including galactinol, β-alanine, glutamate, naringenin, serotonin, abscisic acid (ABA), and LOC_Os03g44380 (OsNCED3), might be involved in the chilling stress phenotype variation of 9311 and DC90. The involvement of ABA pathway was validated by CRISPR/Cas9-edited of discriminatory DEGs OsNCED3 which impaired chilling tolerance of japonica rice. In addition, chilling tolerance of rice was associated with the balance of water uptake and loss that was modulated by stomatal movement under chilling stress. Therefore, we speculated that the CTS-12-mediated ABA signaling pathway leads to transcriptional regulation of chilling-responsive genes and, in turn, triggers metabolic shifts to coordinately regulate the stomatal movement of guard cells. The results of this study improve our understanding of the multilevel regulation of wild rice in response to chilling stress.
Project description:Purpose: UV-B radiation is a pivotal photomorphogenic signal and positively regulates plant growth and metabolite biosynthesis. In order to elucidate the transcriptional regulation mechanism underlying UV-B-induced artemisinin and flavonoid biosynthesis in Artemisia annua, the transcriptional response of A. annua leaves to UV-B radiation was analyzed using the Illumina transcriptome sequencing. Methods: For UV-B treatment, six-week-old A. annua seedlings growing under normal growth condition were supplemented with extra narrowband UV-B lamps (Philips TL20W/01RS; 1.5 μmol·m-2·s-1)(Yin et al. 2016). The most recently expanded leaf for each A. annua seedling was collected at 0, 2, 4 and 6 hours after exposure to UV-B radiation. Results: A total of 10706 differentially expressed genes including 533 transcription factors, were identified. Based on the expression trends of the differentially expressed factors as well as artemisinin and flavonoid biosynthesis genes, we speculated that transcription factors belonging to 6 clusters were most likely to be involved in the regulation of artemisinin and/or flavonoid biosynthesis. The regulatory relationship between transcription factors and artemisinin/flavonoid biosynthetic genes was further studied. Dual-LUC assays results showed that AaMYB6 is a positive regulator of AaLDOX, which belongs to flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. In addition, we identified a R2R3MYB transcription factor, AaMYB4 which positively mediated both artemisinin and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways by activating the expression of AaADS and AaDBR2 in artemisinin biosynthesis pathway and AaUFGT in flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. Conclusions: our findings provide fundamental knowledge for the further analysis of the parallel transcriptional regulation of artemisinin and flavonoid biosynthesis in A. annua L. under UV-B radiation.
