Genome-wide temporal-spatial gene expression profiling of drought responsiveness in rice

ABSTRACT: Rice is highly sensitive to drought, and the effect of drought may vary with the different genotypes and development stages. Genome-wide gene expression profiling was used as the initial point to dissect molecular genetic mechanism of this complex trait and provide valuable information for the improvement of drought tolerance in rice. Affymetrix rice genome array containing 48,564 japonica and 1,260 indica sequences was used to analyze the gene expression pattern of rice exposed to drought stress. The transcriptome from leaf, root, and young panicle at three developmental stages was comparatively analyzed combined with bioinformatics exploring drought stress related cis-elements. In this study, the gene expression patterns across six tissues including leaves and roots at tillering stage and panicle elongation stage, leaves and young panicle at booting stage ( TL: leaves at tillering stage; TR: roots at tillering stage; PL: leaves at panicle elongation stage; PR: roots at panicle elongation stage; BP: young panicle at booting stage; BL: leaves at booting stage) were characterized by using the Affymetrix rice microarray platform based on a drought tolerant rice line derived from IR64.

Project description:Plants initially undergo a period of vegetative development, in which it produces leaves from shoot apical meristem (SAM) and roots from the root apical meristem. Later in development, the SAM undergoes a change in fate and enters reproductive development called as floral transition, producing flowers and seeds. Our understanding of the molecular and genetic mechanisms that underlie reproductive development in plants has increased tremendously in the past decade, essentially through the work on Arabidopsis. In this study, we have analyzed the spatial and temporal gene expression in various tissues/organs and developmental stages of rice using microarray technology to identify the genes differentially expressed during various stages of reproductive development. Experiment Overall Design: Various rice tissues/organs (seedling root, mature leaf and Y leaf) and stages of reproductive (panicle and seed) development were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Three biological replicates of each sample were used for microarray analysis. We sought to obtain developmental and temporal gene expression profiles at each stage to identify the differentially expressed genes. Different stages of panicle and seed development have been categorized according to panicle length and days after pollination, respectively, based on landmark developmental events as follows: up to 0.5 mm, shoot apical meristem and rachis meristem (SAM); 0-3 cm, floral transition and floral organ development (P1); 3-10 cm, meiotic stage (P2 and P3); 10-15 cm, young microspore stage (P4); 15-22 cm, vacuolated pollen stage (P5); 22-30 cm, mature pollen stage (P6); 0-2 dap, early globular embryo (S1); 3-4 dap, middle and late globular embryo (S2); 5-10 dap, embryo morphogenesis (S3); 11-20 dap, embryo maturation (S4); 21-29, dormancy and desiccation tolerance (S5). These stage specifications are approximations based on information from Itoh et al., 2005, Plant Cell Physiol, 46, 23-47.

Project description:Stem internodes of grasses function in mechanical support, transport, and, in some species are a major sink organ for carbon in the form of cell wall polymers. To establish the rice elongating internode as a model for secondary cell wall development, we conducted cell wall composition, proteomic and metabolomic analyses of the second rice internode at booting stage. We measured major secondary cell wall components along eight segments of an elongating internode. Cellulose, lignin, and xylose increase as a percentage of cell wall material from the younger to the older internode segments, indicating active cell wall synthesis. With the whole elongating internode, we measured peptides via liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) following trypsin digestion of size fractionated proteins. This identified a total of 3249 protein groups with at least two unique peptides, including many glycosyltransferases, acyltransferases, glycohyrolases, cell wall-localized proteins, and protein kinases that have or may have functions in cell wall biosynthesis or remodeling. In addition, GO over-representation analysis and KO pathway analysis indicate many proteins involved in biosynthetic processes, especially the synthesis of secondary metabolites such as phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, and tepenoids. Therefore, we also used LC-MS to measure methanol-extracted secondary metabolites from the whole internode at the elongation stage and three post-elongation stages, and from leaf and root at the second post-elongation stage. The results indicate secondary metabolites in stems are distinct from those of roots and leaves, and show different profiles during stem development. This study fills a void of knowledge of proteomics and metabolomics data for grass stems, especially of rice, and provides baseline knowledge for more detailed studies of cell wall synthesis and other biological processes during internode development. This and future work is aimed at optimizing stem development and cell wall composition of grasses to improve agronomic properties and biofuel production.
