Comparative physiological and transcriptomic analyses provide integrated insight into osmotic, cold, and salt stress tolerance mechanisms in banana.

ABSTRACT: The growth, development, and production of banana plants are constrained by multiple abiotic stressors. However, it remains elusive for the tolerance mechanisms of banana responding to multiple abiotic stresses. In this study, we found that Fen Jiao (FJ) was more tolerant to osmotic, cold, and salt stresses than BaXi Jiao (BX) by phenotypic and physiological analyses. Comparative transcriptomic analyses highlighted stress tolerance genes that either specifically regulated in FJ or changed more than twofold in FJ relative to BX after treatments. In total, 933, 1644, and 133 stress tolerance genes were identified after osmotic, cold, and salt treatments, respectively. Further integrated analyses found that 30 tolerance genes, including transcription factor, heat shock protein, and E3 ubiquitin protein ligase, could be commonly regulated by osmotic, cold, and salt stresses. Finally, ABA and ROS signaling networks were found to be more active in FJ than in BX under osmotic, cold, and salt treatments, which may contribute to the strong stress tolerances of FJ. Together, this study provides new insights into the tolerance mechanism of banana responding to multiple stresses, thus leading to potential applications in the genetic improvement of multiple abiotic stress tolerances in banana.

Project description:Daye No.3 is a novel cultivar of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) that is well suited for cultivation in high-altitude regions such as the Qinghai‒Tibet Plateau owing to its high yield and notable cold resistance. However, the limited availability of transcriptomic information has hindered our investigation into the potential mechanisms of cold tolerance in this cultivar. Consequently, we conducted de novo transcriptome assembly to overcome this limitation. Subsequently, we compared the patterns of gene expression in Daye No. 3 during cold acclimatization and exposure to cold stress at various time points. A total of 15 alfalfa samples were included in the transcriptome assembly, resulting in 141.97 Gb of clean bases. A total of 441 DEGs were induced by cold acclimation, while 4525, 5016, and 8056 DEGs were identified at 12 h, 24 h, and 36 h after prolonged cold stress at 4 °C, respectively. The consistency between the RT‒qPCR and transcriptome data confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the transcriptomic data. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that many genes related to photosynthesis were enriched under cold stress. STEM analysis demonstrated that genes involved in nitrogen metabolism and the TCA cycle were consistently upregulated under cold stress, while genes associated with photosynthesis, particularly antenna protein genes, were downregulated. PPI network analysis revealed that ubiquitination-related ribosomal proteins act as hub genes in response to cold stress. Additionally, the plant hormone signaling pathway was activated under cold stress, suggesting its vital role in the cold stress response of alfalfa. Ubiquitination-related ribosomal proteins induced by cold acclimation play a crucial role in early cold signal transduction. As hub genes, these ubiquitination-related ribosomal proteins regulate a multitude of downstream genes in response to cold stress. The upregulation of genes related to nitrogen metabolism and the TCA cycle and the activation of the plant hormone signaling pathway contribute to the enhanced cold tolerance of alfalfa.
