The Amino Acid Metabolic and Carbohydrate Metabolic Pathway Play Important Roles during Salt-Stress Response in Tomato.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress affects the plant quality, which affects the productivity of plants and the quality of water storage. In a recent study, we conducted the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) analysis and RNA-Seq, bioinformatics study methods, and detection of the key genes with qRT-PCR. Our findings suggested that the optimum salt treatment conditions are 200 mM and 19d for the identification of salt tolerance in tomato. Based on the RNA-Seq, we found 17 amino acid metabolic and 17 carbohydrate metabolic pathways enriched in the biological metabolism during the response to salt stress in tomato. We found 7 amino acid metabolic and 6 carbohydrate metabolic pathways that were significantly enriched in the adaption to salt stress. Moreover, we screened 17 and 19 key genes in 7 amino acid metabolic and 6 carbohydrate metabolic pathways respectively. We chose some of the key genes for verifying by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the expression of these genes was the same as that of RNA-seq. We found that these significant pathways and vital genes occupy an important roles in a whole process of adaptation to salt stress. These results provide valuable information, improve the ability to resist pressure, and improve the quality of the plant.

Project description:BACKGROUND:microRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in plant development processes and play pivotal roles in plant adaptation to environmental stresses. Salicornia europaea, a salt mash euhalophyte, is a suitable model plant to study salt adaptation mechanisms. S. europaea is also a vegetable, forage, and oilseed that can be used for saline land reclamation and biofuel precursor production on marginal lands. Despite its importance, no miRNA has been identified from S. europaea thus far. RESULTS:Deep sequencing was performed to investigate small RNA transcriptome of S. europaea. Two hundred and ten conserved miRNAs comprising 51 families and 31 novel miRNAs (including seven miRNA star sequences) belonging to 30 families were identified. About half (13 out of 31) of the novel miRNAs were only detected in salt-treated samples. The expression of 43 conserved and 13 novel miRNAs significantly changed in response to salinity. In addition, 53 conserved and 13 novel miRNAs were differentially expressed between the shoots and roots. Furthermore, 306 and 195 S. europaea unigenes were predicted to be targets of 41 conserved and 29 novel miRNA families, respectively. These targets encoded a wide range of proteins, and genes involved in transcription regulation constituted the largest category. Four of these genes encoding laccase, F-box family protein, SAC3/GANP family protein, and NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase were validated using 5'-RACE. CONCLUSIONS:Our results indicate that specific miRNAs are tightly regulated by salinity in the shoots and/or roots of S. europaea, which may play important roles in salt tolerance of this euhalophyte. The S. europaea salt-responsive miRNAs and miRNAs that target transcription factors, nucleotide binding site-leucine-rich repeat proteins and enzymes involved in lignin biosynthesis as well as carbon and nitrogen metabolism may be applied in genetic engineering of crops with high stress tolerance, and genetic modification of biofuel crops with high biomass and regulatable lignin biosynthesis.

Project description:Backgroud: microRNA (miRNA) is implicated in plant development processes, playing pivotal roles in plant adaptation to environmental stresses. Salicornia europaea, a salt mash euhalophyte, is a good model plant to study salt adaptation mechanisms. It is also attractive in being vegetables, forage and oilseed that can be used for saline land reclamation and biofuel precursor production on marginal lands. However, none of the miRNAs from S. europaea have been identified so far. Results: Deep sequencing was performed to investigate small RNA transcriptome of S. europaea. Two hundred and twelve conserved miRNAs comprising 51 families and 31 novel miRNAs (including 7 miRNA star sequences) belonging to 30 families were identified. Interestingly, about half (13 out of 31) of the novel miRNAs were only detected in salt-treated samples. The expression of 43 conserved and 13 novel miRNAs changed significantly in response to salinity. In addition, 53 conserved miRNAs and 13 novel miRNAs were differentially expressed between shoots and roots. Furthermore, a total of 306 and 195 S. europaea unigenes were predicted to be targets of 41 conserved and 29 novel miRNA families, respectively. These targets encode a wide range of proteins, and genes involved in transcription regulation constitute the largest category. Four of them, which encode laccase, F-box family protein, SAC3/GANP family protein, and nadph-cytochrome P450 oxydoreductase, were validated using 5'-RACE. Conclusions: Our results indicate specific miRNAs are tightly regulated by salinity in shoots and/or roots of S. europaea, which play important roles in salt adaptation of this euhalophyte. The S. europaea salt-responsive miRNAs and miRNAs that target transcription factors, nucleotide binding site-leucine-rich repeat proteins and enzymes involved in lignin biosynthesis as well as carbon and nitrogen metabolism may be applied in genetic engineering of crops with higher stress tolerance, and genetic modification of biofuel crops with higher biomass and regulatable lignin biosynthesis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Isocitrate lyase (ICL) is a key enzyme in the glyoxylate cycle. In a previous study in rice, the expression of the ICL-encoding gene (OsICL) was highly induced by salt stress and its expression was enhanced in transgenic rice lines overexpressing OsCam1-1, a calmodulin (CaM)-encoding gene. CaM has been implicated in salt tolerance mechanisms in plants; however, the cellular mechanisms mediated by CaM are not clearly understood. In this study, the role of OsICL in plant salt tolerance mechanisms and the possible involvement of CaM were investigated using transgenic plants expressing OsICL or OsCam1-1. RESULTS:OsICL was highly expressed in senesced leaf and significantly induced by salt stress in three OsCam1-1 overexpressing transgenic rice lines as well as in wild type (WT). In WT young leaf, although OsICL expression was not affected by salt stress, all three transgenic lines exhibited highly induced expression levels. In Arabidopsis, salt stress had negative effects on germination and seedling growth of the AtICL knockout mutant (Aticl mutant). To examine the roles of OsICL we generated the following transgenic Arabidopsis lines: the Aticl mutant expressing OsICL driven by the native AtICL promoter, the Aticl mutant overexpressing OsICL driven by the 35SCaMV promoter, and WT overexpressing OsICL driven by the 35SCaMV promoter. Under salt stress, the germination rate and seedling fresh and dry weights of the OsICL-expressing lines were higher than those of the Aticl mutant, and the two lines with the icl mutant background were similar to the WT. The Fv/Fm and temperature of rosette leaves in the OsICL-expressing lines were less affected by salt stress than they were in the Aticl mutant. Finally, glucose and fructose contents of the Aticl mutant under salt stress were highest, whereas those of OsICL-expressing lines were similar to or lower than those of the WT. CONCLUSIONS:OsICL, a salt-responsive gene, was characterized in the transgenic Arabidopsis lines, revealing that OsICL expression could revert the salt sensitivity phenotypes of the Aticl knockout mutant. This work provides novel evidence that supports the role of ICL in plant salt tolerance through the glyoxylate cycle and the possible involvement of OsCam1-1 in regulating its transcription.
