Project description:This study aims to reveal genes related to lignin production in Urochloa humidicola through RNA-Seq. This species is widely used as forrage for cattle, being some species of Urochloa responsible for 85% of pastures in Brazil. Given this importance, lignin is a molecule directly related to low digestibility in cattle. Eight samples were chosen from previous lignin production and forage quality data; four samples had low lignin production, and four had high lignin production. The second extended leaves were collected for RNA extraction using RNeasy® Plant Mini Kit. The cDNA library preparation was generated according to Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Prep kit protocol, and RNA sequencing was performed using HiSeq 2500 sequencer. Quality control was measured by FastQC software v 0.11.8. As Urochloa humidicola does not have a sequenced genome, a transcriptome assembly was built by two approaches: through Trinity v 2.8.4 (Grabherr et al., 2011), and Stringtie v 2.0.4 software (Pertea et al., 2015), using Urochloa ruziziensis as reference genome. Then, the final transcriptome was assembled using those two de novo assembles by PASA v 2.2 (Haas et al., 2003). Salmon v 0.7.2 software (Patro et al., 2017) was used to quantify the sequenced reads. The DEG was identified using DESeq2 package, and genes functions were annotated through Trinotate software (Bryant et al., 2017). In total, approximately 123 million reads were sequenced. The final assembled transcriptome was formed by 48,695 transcripts. The differential expressed genes analysis revealed 258 significatively genes. Here, we highlighted genes related to flavonoid biosynthetic process, regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolic process, and Myb-like DNA-binding domain.

Project description:Frost tolerance is the main component of winter-hardiness. To express this trait, plants have to sense low temperature, and respond by activating the process of cold acclimation. The molecular mechanisms of this acclimation have not been fully understood in the agronomically important group of forage grasses, including Lolium-Festuca species. Herein, the introgression forms of L. multiflorum/F. arundinacea distinct with respect to their frost tolerance, were used as models for the comprehensive, proteomic and physiological, research to recognize the crucial components of cold acclimation in forage grasses. The obtained results stressed the importance of photosynthetic performance under acclimation to low temperature. The stable level of photochemical processes after three weeks of cold acclimation in the introgression form with a higher level of frost tolerance, combined simultaneously with the stable level of CO2 assimilation after that period, despite decreased stomatal conductance, indicated the capacity for that form to acclimate its photosynthetic apparatus to low temperature. This phenomenon was driven by the Calvin cycle efficiency, associated with revealed here accumulation profiles and activities of chloroplastic aldolase. The capacity to acclimate the photosynthetic machinery to cold could be one of the most crucial components of forage grass metabolism to improve frost tolerance.

Project description:Our study provides important insights into the genetic basis of the usefulness of leaf-feeding grasses as a source of forage protein. These insights will facilitate further domestication and selection and industrial utilization of leaf-eating plants.

Project description:In the rhizosphere, plants are exposed to a multitude of different biotic and abiotic factors, to which they respond by exuding a wide range of secondary root metabolites. So far, it has been unknown to which degree root exudate composition is species-specific and is affected by land use, the local impact and local neighborhood under field conditions. In this study, root exudates of 10 common grassland species were analyzed, each five of forbs and grasses, in the German Biodiversity Exploratories using a combined phytometer and untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) approach. Redundancy analysis and hierarchical clustering revealed a large set of semi-polar metabolites common to all species in addition to species-specific metabolites. Chemical richness and exudate composition revealed that forbs, such as Plantago lanceolata and Galium species, exuded more species-specific metabolites than grasses. Grasses instead were primarily affected by environmental conditions. In both forbs and grasses, plant functional traits had only a minor impact on plant root exudation patterns. Overall, our results demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining and untargeted profiling of semi-polar metabolites under field condition and allow a deeper view in the exudation of plants in a natural grassland community.
