Isolation and transcription profiling of low-O2 stress-associated cDNA clones from the flooding-stress-tolerant FR13A rice genotype.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: and Aims Flooding stress leads to a significant reduction in transcription and translation of genes involved in basal metabolism of plants. However, specific genes are noted to be up-regulated in this response. With the aim of isolating genes that might be specifically involved in flooding stress-tolerance mechanism(s), two subtractive cDNA libraries for the flooding-stress-tolerant rice genotype FR13A have been constructed, namely the single and double subtraction libraries (SSL and DSL, respectively). METHODS: To construct the SSL, mRNAs present in the unstressed control FR13A roots were subtracted from the mRNA pool present in low O2-stressed roots of FR13A rice seedlings. The DSL was constructed from mRNAs isolated from the roots of low O2-stressed FR13A rice seedlings from which pools of low-O2-stress up-regulated mRNAs from Pusa Basmati 1 and constitutively expressed mRNAs from FR13A roots were subtracted. RESULTS: In all, 400 and 606 cDNA clones were obtained from the SSL and DSL, respectively. Global transcript profiling by reverse northern analysis revealed that a large number of clones from these libraries were up-regulated by anaerobic stress. Importantly, selective up-regulated clones showed characteristic cultivar- and tissue-specific expression profiles. Sequencing and annotation of the up-regulated clones revealed that specific signal proteins, hexose transporters, ion channel transporters, RNA-binding proteins and transcription factor proteins possibly play important roles in the response of rice to flooding stress. Also a significant number of novel cDNA clones was noted in these libraries. CONCLUSIONS: It appears that cellular functions such as signalling, sugar and ion transport and transcript stability play an important role in conferring higher flooding tolerance in the FR13A rice type.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The effects of viral infection involve concomitant plant gene variations and cellular changes. A simple system is required to assess the complexity of host responses to viral infection. The genome of the Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is a single-stranded RNA with a simple organisation. It is the most well-known monocotyledon virus model. Several studies on its biology, structure and phylogeography have provided a suitable background for further genetic studies. 12 rice chromosome sequences are now available and provide strong support for genomic studies, particularly physical mapping and gene identification. RESULTS:The present data, obtained through the cDNA-AFLP technique, demonstrate differential responses to RYMV of two different rice cultivars, i.e. susceptible IR64 (Oryza sativa indica), and partially resistant Azucena (O. s. japonica). This RNA profiling provides a new original dataset that will enable us to gain greater insight into the RYMV/rice interaction and the specificity of the host response. Using the SIM4 subroutine, we took the intron/exon structure of the gene into account and mapped 281 RYMV stress responsive (RSR) transcripts on 12 rice chromosomes corresponding to 234 RSR genes. We also mapped previously identified deregulated proteins and genes involved in partial resistance and thus constructed the first global physical map of the RYMV/rice interaction. RSR transcripts on rice chromosomes 4 and 10 were found to be not randomly distributed. Seven genes were identified in the susceptible and partially resistant cultivars, and transcripts were colocalized for these seven genes in both cultivars. During virus infection, many concomitant plant gene expression changes may be associated with host changes caused by the infection process, general stress or defence responses. We noted that some genes (e.g. ABC transporters) were regulated throughout the kinetics of infection and differentiated susceptible and partially resistant hosts. CONCLUSION:We enhanced the first RYMV/rice interaction map by combining information from the present study and previous studies on proteins and ESTs regulated during RYMV infection, thus providing a more comprehensive view on genes related to plant responses. This combined map provides a new tool for exploring molecular mechanisms underlying the RYMV/rice interaction.

Project description:Salinity is a complex trait that affects growth and productivity in many crops, including rice. Mutation induction, a useful tool to generate salt tolerant plants, enables the analysis of plants with similar genetic background, facilitating the understanding of the salt tolerance mechanisms. In this work, we generated three salt tolerant mutant lines by irradiation of a salt-sensitive cultivar plants and screened M2 plants at seedling stage in the presence of high salinity. These three lines, SaT20, SaS62, and SaT58, showed different responses to salinity, but exhibited similar phenotype to wild type plants, except SaT20 that displayed shorter height when grown in the absence of salt. Under salt conditions, all three mutants and the parental line showed similar reduction in yield, although relevant differences in other physiological parameters, such as Na+ accumulation in healthy leaves of SaT20, were registered. Microarray analyses of gene expression profiles in roots revealed the occurrence of common and specific responses in the mutants. The three mutants showed up-regulation of responsive genes, the activation of oxido-reduction process and the inhibition of ion transport. The participation of jasmonate in the plant response to salt was evident by down-regulation of a gene coding for a jasmonate O-methyltransferase. Genes dealing with lipid transport and metabolism were, in general, up-regulated except in SaS62, that also exhibited down-regulation of genes involved in ion transport and Ca2+ signal transduction. The two most tolerant varieties, SaS62 and SaT20, displayed lower levels of transcripts involved in K+ uptake. The physiological study and the description of the expression analysis evidenced that the three lines showed different responses to salt: SaT20 showed a high Na+ content in leaves, SaS62 presented an inhibition of lipid metabolism and ion transport and SaT58 differs in both features in the response to salinity. The analysis of these salt tolerant mutants illustrates the complexity of this trait evidencing the breadth of the plant responses to salinity including simultaneous cooperation of alternative or complementary mechanisms.
