Elevated levels of CO2 and temperature can both affect plant growth and development, but the signalling pathways regulating these processes are still obscure. MicroRNAs function to silence gene expression, and environmental stresses can alter their expressions. Here we identify, using the small RNA-sequencing method, microRNAs that change significantly in expression by either doubling the atmospheric CO2 concentration or by increasing temperature 3-6 °C. Notably, nearly all CO2-influenced microR ...[more]

Project description:Of all the essential nutrients, nitrogen is the one most often limiting for plant growth. Nitrogen can be taken up by plants in two ways. One possibility is through ammonium and nitrate, which are the predominate inorganic forms of nitrogen in soils. The second possibility is the uptake of air-born nitrogen through plant-associated mircoorganisms in root nodules. The majority of plants able to form such nitrogen-fixing root nodules are in the legume family Fabaceae. Here we present a third possibility M-bM-^@M-^S a new pathway, termed as nitric oxide (NO)-fixation pathway, which allows plants to fix atmospheric NO and to use it for better growth and development. We identified non-symbiotic hemoglobin class 1 (AtGLB1) and class 2 (AtGLB2) as key proteins of the NO-fixation pathway. In an NO enriched environment NO-fixation is enhanced considerably in plants overexpressing AtGLB1 or AtGLB2 genes. NO uptake resulted in four-fold higher nitrate levels in these plants compared to NO-treated wild-type plants. Correspondingly, the growth parameters like rosettes size and weight, vegetative shoot thickness and also seed yield were 25%, 40%, 30%, and 20% higher, respectively, in the overexpression lines in comparison to wild-type plants. Our results highlight the existence of a NO-fixing pathway in plants. We demonstrated that plant non-symbiotic hemoglobin proteins can fix atmospheric NO and convert it to nitrate, which is further introduced into the N-metabolism. We assume that our results might provide new insights into the field of crop science research and that the NO-fixation capability might serve as a new economically important breeding trait for enhancing biomass, fruit, and seed production. Modifying this pathway might be a promising approach for better and more environment-friendly supply of nitrogen. For example crop plant hemoglobin proteins could be improved for their NO-fixing capability and their expression levels could be increased. WT-Arabidopsis thaliana plants were fumigated with Ambient NO and 3 ppm NO air in three completely independent biological experiments. Total RNA was isolated from four-week old rosette leaves of these plants to determine the gene expression signature of each samples using Agilent one-color microarray. Differences in the gene expression signatures between Ambient NO and 3 ppm NO treated samples were analyzed to see the effect of NO fumigation on the WT Arabidopsis plants at the transcript level.

Project description:Transcriptional reprogramming and stimulation of leaf respiration by elevated CO2 concentration is diminished, but not eliminated, under limiting nitrogen supply. Arabidopsis plants were grown in either ambient (370 ppm) or elevated (750 ppm) CO2 with either ample N supply or limiting N supply. Leaf tissue was harvested from youngest most fully expanded leaves 35 days after plant germination at either midday or midnight.

Project description:This study compared the photosynthetic performance and the global gene expression of the winter hardy wheat Triticum aestivum cv Norstar grown under non-acclimated (NA) or cold-acclimated (CA) condition at either ambient CO2 or elevated CO2 (EC). CA Norstar maintained comparable light saturated and CO2 saturated rates of photosynthesis but lower quantum requirements for photosystem II and non photochemical quenching relative to NA plants even at EC. Neither NA nor CA plants were sensitive to feedback inhibition of photosynthesis at EC. Global gene expression using microarray combined with bioinformatics analysis revealed that genes affected by EC were 3 times higher in NA (1022 genes) compared to CA (372 genes) Norstar. The most striking effect was the down-regulation of genes involved in the plant defense responses in NA Norstar. In contrast, cold acclimation reversed this down regulation due to the cold induction of genes involved in plant pathogenesis resistance, and cellular and chloroplast protection. These results suggest that EC have less impact on plant performance and productivity in cold adapted winter hardy plants in the northern climates compared to warmer environments. Selection for cereal cultivars with constitutively higher expression of biotic stress defense genes may be necessary under EC during the warm growth period and in warmer climates. Twelve replicate pots with 3 plants per pot were grown at either NA or CA conditions at either ambient or EC. To minimize any possible chamber effects, the 12 replicate pots at each growth condition were distributed between two growth chambers. A total of 3 biological replicates for each condition were used for microarray analyses. Each biological replicate sample was obtained by pooling three whole fully expanded 3rd leaves from different plants harvested randomly. The different biological samples of Norstar winter wheat leaves were ground in dry ice to fine powder and total RNA was extracted with trizol (Invitrogen, Burlington, ON, CA). Total RNA was cleaned using RNeasy plant mini kit (Qiagen) and integrity was determined on agarose gel and on a bioanalyser (Agilent 2100). Synthesized cDNAs were transcribed to cRNAs with the 3M-bM-^@M-^YIVT labelling kit (Santa Clara, CA, USA) and hybridized to the Affymetrix wheat genome array (Santa Clara, Ca, USA) at the McGill University and GM-CM-)nome QuM-CM-)bec Innovation Centre (Montreal, Qc, CA). The experimental design consisted of three biological replicates for each of the four growth conditions, 1: Non-acclimated (NA) at ambient CO2 (AC) (NAAC); 2: Cold-acclimated (CA) at ambient CO2 (AC) (CAAC); 3: Non-acclimated (NA) at elevated CO2 (EC) (NAEC); 4: Cold-acclimated (CA) at elevated CO2 (EC) (CAEC). Thus, a total of 3 biological samples from each of the 4 growth conditions described above were used for hybridizations.

Project description:Plant respiration responses to elevated growth [CO2] are key uncertainties in predicting future crop and ecosystem function. In particular, the effects of elevated growth [CO2] on respiration over leaf development are poorly understood. This study tested the prediction that, due to greater whole-plant photoassimilate availability and growth, elevated [CO2] induces transcriptional reprogramming and a stimulation of nighttime respiration in leaf primordia, expanding leaves, and mature leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. In primordia, elevated [CO2] altered transcript abundance, but not for genes encoding respiratory proteins. In expanding leaves, elevated [CO2] induced greater glucose content and transcript abundance for some respiratory genes, but did not alter respiratory CO2 efflux. In mature leaves, elevated [CO2] led to greater glucose, sucrose and starch content, plus greater transcript abundance for many components of the respiratory pathway, and greater respiratory CO2 efflux. Therefore, growth at elevated [CO2] stimulated dark respiration only after leaves transitioned from carbon sinks into carbon sources. This coincided with greater photoassimilate production by mature leaves under elevated [CO2] and peak respiratory transcriptional responses. It remains to be determined if biochemical and transcriptional responses to elevated [CO2] in primordial and expanding leaves are essential prerequisites for subsequent alterations of respiratory metabolism in mature leaves. Arabidopsis plants were grown in either ambient (370 ppm) or elevated (750 ppm) CO2. Leaf number 10 was harvested when it was a primordia, expanding, or mature in each of the CO2 treatments.

Project description:To identify and characterize genes required for tissue-specific phytochrome responses during hypocotyl development in far-red-light grown bvr lines, we performed gene transcriptional profiling using bvr lines with mesophyll-specific phytochrome inactivation (cab3: :pBVR2). We identified several candidate genes whose expression is significantly altered in lines with mesophyll tissue-specific BVR expression (Cab3::pBVR2), compared to constitutive phytochrome inactivation lines, i.e. 35S-driven BVR lines (35S::pBVR3). No-0 is used as wild-type (WT) Seeds of No-0 WT, 35S::pBVR3 and CAB3::pBVR2 on MS plates were exposed to Red (R) light of 75 M-BM-5mol m-2 s-1 for 5 min and imbibing seeds were cold-stratified at 4 M-BM-0C in darkness for 3 d. Seedlings were grown under continuous far-red illumination for 7 d. Seven-day-old vegetative whole seedlings (300 M-bM-^@M-^S 500 mg) were quickly (<1 min) harvested and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen inside the FR chamber. Seedlings were grown under continuous far-red illumination for 7 d.

Project description:Adjustment of gene expression during acclimation to stress conditions, such as bright light, in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 depends on four group 2 M-OM-^C factors (SigB, SigC, SigD, SigE). A M-bM-^HM-^FsigCDE strain containing the stress responsive SigB as an only functional group 2 M-OM-^C factor appears twice as resistant to photoinhibition of photosystem II (PSII) as the control strain. Microarray analyzes of the M-bM-^HM-^FsigCDE strain indicated that 77 genes in standard conditions and 79 genes in high light were differently expressed compared to the control strain. Analysis of possible photoprotective mechanisms revealed that high carotenoid content and up-regulation of the photoprotective flavodiiron operon flv4-sll0218-flv2 protected PSII in M-bM-^HM-^FsigCDE, while up-regulation of pgr5-like, hlipB or isiA genes in the mutant strain did not offer particular protection against photoinhibition. The photoinhibition resistance was lost if M-bM-^HM-^FsigCDE was grown in high CO2 where carotenoid and Flv4-Sll0218-Flv2 contents were low. Additionally, photoinhibition resistance of the M-bM-^HM-^FrpoZ strain (lacking the omega subunit of RNA polymerase) with very high carotenoid but only low Flv4-Sll0218-Flv2 content supported the importance of carotenoids in PSII protection. Carotenoids likely protect mainly via quenching of singlet oxygen but efficient non-photochemical quenching in M-bM-^HM-^FsigCDE might offer some additional protection. Comparison of photoinhibition kinetics in control, M-bM-^HM-^FsigCDE and M-bM-^HM-^FrpoZ strains showed that protection by the flavodiiron operon was most efficient during the first minutes of high-light illumination. Cells from cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 named as control strain (CS) and group 2 sigma factor mutant M-NM-^TsigCDE (A730=1, 40 mL) were harvested directly from standard growth conditions (continuous illumination at the PPFD of 40 M-BM-5mol m-2s-1, 32M-BM-0C, ambient CO2) or after 30-min illumination a PPFD 750 M-BM-5mol m-2s-1. From three to four independent experiments were performed at each conditions.

Project description:Microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP)-triggered immunity (MTI) is the first layer of molecular defense encountered by pathogens when they attempt to infect plants. MTI is dependent on cell surface pattern-recognition receptors (PRR) which act upstream of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. Genetic screening and mutant knock-out lines have largely contributed to our knowledge of MTI. However, genetic screening is confined to phenotype-causing mutations and scarcely enables the discovery of redundantly-acting proteins. We sought to discover protein components that contribute in MTI, using a phenotype-independent approach to discern nucleus-localized proteins after MTI induction. We report on the nuclear proteome of Columbia-0 (Col-0) and chitin elicitor receptor kinase 1 (cerk1) mutant plants 15 min after MTI induction. Our approach revealed that MAMP-treated cerk1 plants had many proteins in common with Col-0-treated plants following chitosan treatment. cerk1 plants also manifested several unique proteins that were absent from Col-0 plants when elicited with chitosan indicating that they also perceive chitosan. Detailed analysis of the identified proteins revealed a nuclear accumulation of transcriptional regulators and transcription factors, DNA-modifying enzymes, RNA-binding proteins and ribosomal proteins. No novel MAPKs were found although Receptor for activated C kinase 1, a scaffold protein involved in defense, and a nucleotide binding leucine-rich repeat protein, implicated in resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans, were discovered in the nucleus of chitosan-treated plants and absent from water-treated control plants.

Project description:We investigated soybean seed development because (1) soybean seeds are a major source of food and fuel, (2) soybean seeds have been an excellent system for studying the basic processes controlling seed development for over three decades, and (3) new soybean genomic resources, including the sequence of the soybean genome and the gene expression profiles for all seed compartments, tissues, and cell types, can be used to gain new insights into the regulatory processes required for seed differentiation. We sequenced messenger RNA populations of specific soybean seed compartments, which will provide new insights into gene expression that are important for M-bM-^@M-^\making a soybean seed.M-bM-^@M-^] Eight compartments of the globular stage of the soybean seeds were analyzed. Three or four biological replicates were collected for each compartment.
