Project description:•Carnivorous plants from the order Caryophyllales co-opted plant phytohormones from the group of jasmonates for regulation of digestive enzyme activities. But not all genera of carnivorous plants are evenly explored and the digestive physiology of the Australian carnivorous rainbow plants of the genus Byblis (order: Lamiales) is only very poorly understood. •Here, we investigated the composition of digestive enzymes in the secreted fluid of Byblis filifolia using LC/MS, measured enzyme activities and analysed the phytohormone tissue level after experimental feeding on fruit flies and coronatine application. •Several hydrolytic digestive enzymes were identified in the secreted digestive fluid which were clearly upregulated in the presence of insect prey. But in contrast to sundew plant Drosera capensis, endogenous jasmonate did not accumulate and coronatine, a molecular mimic of jasmonates, was not able to trigger enzyme secretion. •Our results document that carnivorous plant B. filifolia is fully carnivorous with their own digestive enzyme repertoire. However in contrast to carnivorous genera from the order Caryophyllales, they are not under the control of jasmonates. This indicates that jasmonates have not been co-opted for regulation of digestive enzyme activity repeatedly during evolution of carnivorous plants.

Project description:Charles Darwin was infinitely fascinated with Drosera (sundew plants), which have behaved as the most sagacious animals and evolved as flesh-eaters with modified leaves, called traps, to catch and digest insects. However, the molecular basis underlying movement of carnivorous plants remains very limited. Here, we uncover glutathione (GSH) as an endogenous signaling molecule in sundew plants that triggers trap movement for carnivory. To better understanding the molecular basis of sundew carnivory, we further performed transcriptomic profiling of closed sundew traps stimulated by living fruit flies and GSH.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana 12-days old seedlings comparing Col-0 wild type with transgenic plants with altered expression of dual-targetting plastid/mitochondrial organellar RNA-polymerase RPOTmp. Transgenic plants used for experiment were: overexpressor plants obtained by transformation of Col-0 WT plants with genetic constructs created in [Tarasenko et al., 2016] contained catalytic part of RPOTmp enzyme with transit peptides of RPOTm (mitochondrial) and RPOTp (plastid) by agrobacterial transformation; plants with complementation of RPOTmp functions in mitochondria or chloroplasts obtained from transformation of GABI_286E07 rpotmp knockout-mutant plants with genetic constructs created in [Tarasenko et al., 2016]. Goal was to determine the effects of RPOTmp knockout/overexpression on global Arabidopsis thaliana gene expression.

Project description:Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins, which are characterized by tandem 30-40 amino acid sequence motifs, constitute a large gene family in plants. These known PPR proteins have been identified to play important roles in organellar RNA metabolism and plant development in Arabidopsis and rice. However, functions of PPR genes in woody species remain still largely unknown. Here, we identified and characterized a total of 626 PPR genes containing PPR motifs in the poplar genome. A comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the poplar PPR gene family was performed, including chromosomal location, phylogenetic relationships, gene duplication. Transcriptomic analyses identified that 154 of the PtrPPR genes were induced by biotic and abiotic treatments, including Marssonina brunnea, salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), wounding, cold and salinity. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis further confirmed the expression profiles of 11 PtrPPR genes under different stresses. Our results contribute to a more comprehensive understanding the roles of PPR proteins and provided an insight for improving the stress tolerance in poplar.
