Project description:Soybean is one of the main sources of oil worldwide. Salinity severely affect its yield. GmSIN1 is a NAC transcription factor coding gene. Its overexpression (OE) transgenic lines greatly improved the yield in both common and saline fields. This study focuses on founding changes genes between GmSIN1 OE transgenic seedlings and control seedlings under salt stress or non-salt stress conditions. Illumina Solexa sequencing platform was used for the comparative analysis of transcriptome profiles in the roots and leaves of GmSIN1 OE transgenic seedlings and WEI6823 (control) seedlings under mock or 150 mM NaCl treatment for 6 hrs.
Project description:Purpose: To further identify the genes and pathways involved in the necrotic phenotype of NtCBL5A-OE lines, the leaf transcriptome profiling of WT and OE-2 lines grown under control conditions and salt stress (100 mM NaCl) at 4 DAT were sequenced and compared. Methods: Two datasets of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were made in which we identified the genes that were differentially expressed as a result of the overexpression of NtCBL5A: Control-WT vs Control-OE2 (C-WT/C-OE2), Salt-WT vs Salt-OE2 (S-WT/S-OE2). Another two datasets were also used to identify the transcripts that were responsive to the salt treatments: Control-WT vs Salt-WT (C-WT/S-WT) and Control-OE2 vs Salt-OE2 (C-OE2/S-OE2). DEGs from C-WT/C-OE2 and S-WT/S-OE2 were compared to select the transcripts affected by NtCBL5A overexpression only under salt stress. We also compared DEGs from C-WT/S-WT and C-OE2/S-OE2 to identify the specific transcripts affected by salt stress and only in NtCBL5A-OE lines. This procedure was done for two independent experiments, and only DEGs that were identified in both experiments were considered. Results: The OE-affected DEGs and salt-affected DEGs together resulted in 2079 up-regulated DEGs and 1154 down-regulated DEGs, strongly affected by the combination of NtCBL5A overexpression and salt stress.
Project description:Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant) is one of the most important halophyte plants for plant stress biology research. In this study, we established an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method in ice plant and confirmed that ice plant can sustain gene overexpression for four weeks. Expression of a salt-induced transcription factor McHB7 (OE) reached the highest level at seven days after infiltration. Under salt and drought stresses, the growth of OE was better than wild type (WT), and the activities of redox enzymes and chlorophyll contents were higher in OE than the WT. Using proteomics, 475, 510 and 378 proteins were identified to be significantly changed in the OE lines under control, salt, and drought conditions, respectively. Most increased proteins were involved in various processes including Calvin cycle, citric acid cycle, glycolysis, and antioxidant pathways. Some were found to participate in ABA biosynthesis or response. Metabolomics revealed that many metabolites and phytohormones in OE were involved in plant growth and development. Also, ABA was increased in OE lines under control, salt, and drought conditions. Yeast one-hybrid analysis showed that McHB7 can bind to ERD and ABA-related motifs. And protein-protein interaction analysis discovered the candidate proteins that were responsive to stresses and hormones (e.g., ABA).

Project description:Rosa rugosa salt stress transcriptome
Project description:Soil salinity (Salt) is one of the major limiting factors of Leymus chinensis (named sheepgrass) performance and alters their primary metabolic process and gene expression. Salt stress could accelerate inhibitive effects concomitant with low light (LL-Salt). However, little is known about physiological and molecular mechanisms under such LL-Salt in sheepgrass. This study aims to uncover the key reprogrammed metabolic pathways induced by LL-Salt through an integrated analysis of transcriptome and metabolism. Plant seedlings were exposed to six combinations of light intensity (moderate light, ML, and LL) and NaCl concentrations (0, 50, and 200mM) for 20 days. Results suggest that the growth of sheepgrass seedlings was dramatically inhibited with severe lodging phenotype, especially when exposed to LL-Salt combined conditions. Activities of an antioxidant enzyme, catalase, were significantly increased in LL but significantly decreased in salt stress, leading to a reverse pattern for H2O2 in LL and salt stress. Transcriptome analysis reveals 4921 downregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with carbon metabolism pathways were significantly enriched compared to light response without salt (ML_0 vs LL_0). There are 194 overlapped downregulated DEGs induced by two salt treatments (ML_50 vs ML_0 and ML_200 vs ML_0), where the carbon metabolism pathway was also significantly enriched. In terms of interactive effects of LL-Salt treatments, we found that there are 16 overlapped DEGs, including a phytochrome-interacting transcription factor 4 (PIF4) with upregulation in LL treatment while downregulation in salt treatment, which was validated by qPCR.Collectively, we found that serval antioxidant redox pathways, including photorespiration, GSG/GSSH redox, and ABA signaling, participated in response to LL and salt combined events and highlighted the roles of cellular redox homeostasis in LL-Salt response in sheepgrass.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of Rosa chinensis in response to heat stress
Project description:To identify the target genes regulated by ANAC069, the expression profiles of OE (Overexpression of ANAC069) plants and KO (Knockout of ANAC069, SALK_095231C) plants under salt stress conditions were compared using Affymetrix Arabidopsis gene chips.
Project description:Plant homeodomain (PHD) finger proteins affect growth and development by regulating transcription and reading epigenetic modifications of histones, but their functions in abiotic stress responses remain largely unclear. Here we characterize seven Arabidopsis thaliana Alfin1-like PHD finger proteins (ALs) in the response to abiotic stresses. ALs localize to the nucleus and repress transcription. Except AL6, all the ALs bind to G-box element. Changes of the amino acids at positions 34 and 35 in AL6 cause the loss of G-box binding ability. Expression of the ALs responded differently to osmotic stress, salt, cold and abscisic acid treatments. AL5 was induced by multiple stresses, and AL5-overexpressing plants showed higher tolerance to salt, drought and freezing stress than Col-0. Also, al5 mutants showed reduced stress tolerance. ChIP-Seq assay helps find the direct targets of AL5. Polyclonal antibody of AL5 protein was used to perform ChIP experiment. Two samples were analyzed, AL5 OE sample and its knock out mutant. Data was analyzed as OE sample Vs mutant sample and help find targets of AL5 protein.
Project description:Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant) is one of the facultative halophyte plants, and it serves as a model for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying its salt stress response and tolerance. Here we cloned one of homeobox transcription factor (TF) gene McHB7 from ice plant, which has 60% similarity with the Arabidopsis AtHB7. Overexpression of McHB7 in Arabidopsis (OE) showed that the plants had significantly elevated relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities after salt stress treatment. Proteomics analysis identified 145 to be significantly changed in abundance, and 66 were exclusively increased in the OE plants compared to wild type (WT). After salt treatment, 979 and 959 metabolites were significantly increased and decreased in OE plants compared to the WT, respectively. The results demonstrated McHB7 can improve photosynthesis and increase the leaf chlorophyll content, and affect TCA cycle by regulating metabolites (e.g., pyruvate) and proteins (e.g., citrate synthase). Also, McHB7 modulates the expression of stress-related proteins (e.g., superoxide dismutase, dehydroascorbate reductase and pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase B) to scavenge reactive oxygen species and enhance plant salt tolerance.
