Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals the roles of ROS scavenging genes in response to cadmium in two pak choi cultivars.

ABSTRACT: To identify key regulatory genes involved in ROS scavenging in response to cadmium (Cd) exposure in pak choi, eight cDNA libraries from Cd-treated and Cd-free roots of two cultivars, Baiyewuyueman (high Cd accumulator) and Kuishan'aijiaoheiye (low Cd accumulator), were firstly performed by RNA-sequencing. Totally 0.443 billion clean reads and 244,190 unigenes were obtained from eight transcriptome. About 797 and 1167 unigenes encoding ROS related proteins and transcription factors were identified. Of them, 11 and 16 ROS scavenging system related DEGs, and 29 and 15 transcription factors related DEGs were found in Baiyewuyueman and Kuishan'aijiaoheiye, respectively. Ten ROS-scavenging genes (Cu/Zn-SOD, GST1, PODs, TrxR2, PrxR, FER3 and NDPK) showed higher expression levels in Cd-exposed seedings of Baiyewuyueman than those of Kuishan'aijiaoheiye. Four genes (GPX, APX, GRX and GST3) specifically expressed in Cd-free roots of Kuishan'aijiaoheiye. For transcription factors, ERF12/13/22 and WRKY31 was up-regulated by Cd in Baiyewuyueman, while in Kuishan'aijiaoheiye, Cd induced down-regulations of bZIP, NAC and ZFP families. The results indicate that the two cultivars differed in the mechanism of ROS scavenging in response to Cd stress. Fe SOD1, POD A2/44/54/62 and GST1 may be responsible for the difference of Cd tolerance between Baiyewuyueman and Kuishan'aijiaoheiye.

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals key cadmium transport-related genes in roots of two pak choi (Brassica rapa L. ssp. chinensis) cultivars.

Project description:Cadmium translocation from roots to shoots is a complex biological process that is controlled by gene regulatory networks. Pak choi exhibits wide cultivar variations in Cd accumulation. However, the molecular mechanism involved in cadmium translocation and accumulation is still unclear. To isolate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in transporter-mediated regulatory mechanisms of Cd translocation in two contrasting pak choi cultivars, Baiyewuyueman (B, high Cd accumulator) and Kuishan'aijiaoheiye (K, low Cd accumulator), eight cDNA libraries from the roots of two cultivars were constructed and sequenced by RNA-sequencing.A total of 244,190 unigenes were obtained. Of them, 6827 DEGs, including BCd10 vs. BCd0 (690), KCd10 vs. KCd0 (2733), KCd0 vs. BCd0 (2919), and KCd10 vs. BCd10 (3455), were identified. Regulatory roles of these DEGs were annotated and clarified through GO and KEEG enrichment analysis. Interestingly, 135 DEGs encoding ion transport (i.e. ZIPs, P1B-type ATPase and MTPs) related proteins were identified. The expression patterns of ten critical genes were validated using RT-qPCR analysis. Furthermore, a putative model of cadmium translocation regulatory network in pak choi was proposed.High Cd cultivar (Baiyewuyueman) showed higher expression levels in plasma membrane-localized transport genes (i.e., ZIP2, ZIP3, IRT1, HMA2 and HMA4) and tonoplast-localized transport genes (i.e., CAX4, HMA3, MRP7, MTP3 and COPT5) than low Cd cultivar (Kuishan'aijiaoheiye). These genes, therefore, might be involved in root-to-shoot Cd translocation in pak choi.

Transcriptomic analysis of Pak Choi under acute ozone exposure revealed regulatory mechanism against ozone stress.

Project description:Ground-level ozone (O3) is one of the major air pollutants, which cause oxidative injury to plants. The physiological and biochemical mechanisms underlying the responses of plants to O3 stress have been well investigated. However, there are limited reports about the molecular basis of plant responses to O3. In this study, a comparative transcriptomic analysis of Pak Choi (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis) exposed to different O3 concentrations was conducted for the first time.Seedlings of Pak Choi with five leaves were exposed to non-filtered air (NF, 31 ppb) or elevated O3 (E-O3, 252 ppb) for 2 days (8 h per day, from 9:00-17:00). Compared with plants in the NF, a total of 675 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in plants under E-O3, including 219 DEGs with decreased expressions and 456 DEGs with increased expressions. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses revealed that O3 stress invoked multiple cellular defense pathways to mitigate the impaired cellular integrity and metabolism, including 'glutathione metabolism', 'phenylpropanoid biosynthesis', 'sulfur metabolism', 'glucosinolate biosynthesis', 'cutin, suberine and wax biosynthesis' and others. Transcription factors potentially involved in this cellular regulation were also found, such as AP2-ERF, WRKY, JAZ, MYB etc. Based on the RNA-Seq data and previous studies, a working model was proposed integrating O3 caused reactive oxygen burst, oxidation-reduction regulation, jasmonic acid and downstream functional genes for the regulation of cellular homeostasis after acute O3 stress.The present results provide a valuable insight into the molecular responses of Pak Choi to acute O3 stress and the specific DEGs revealed in this study could be used for further functional identification of key allelic genes determining the O3 sensitivity of Pak Choi.

Transcriptomic profiling of two Pak Choi varieties with contrasting anthocyanin contents provides an insight into structural and regulatory genes in anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway.

Project description:BackgroundThe accumulation of anthocyanin in horticultural crops not only improves their stress tolerances but also their nutritional values. Many key regulatory and structural genes in anthocyanin biosynthesis have been identified in model plants, but limited information is available for non-model plant species featured with colored leaves. In this study, two Pak Choi varieties with green or purple leaves were selected to analyze the anthocyanin biosynthesis through RNA-Seq.ResultsA total of 2475 unigenes were differentially expressed between these tested varieties, including 1303 down-regulated and 1172 up-regulated genes in the purple-leafed one. The reliability of the RNA-Seq was further confirmed by using real-time quantitative PCR. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed genes revealed 'flavonoid biosynthesis' was the only enriched pathway in the purple-leafed variety: In the pathway of phenylpropanoid metabolism, Bra017210, Bra039777, and Bra021637 were expressed at higher levels in the purple-leafed variety;?among the early anthocyanin biosynthetic genes, Bra037747 transcripts were only detected in the purple-leafed variety but not in the green-leafed one; among the late anthocyanin biosynthetic genes, Bra027457, Bra013652, Bra019350, Bra003021, Bra035004, and Bra038445 were all up-regulated in purple-leafed variety; and genes encoding anthocyanin-related transcription factors, such as Bra016164, and genes encoding anthocyanin transportation, such as GST F12, were also identified as up-regulated ones in the purple-leafed variety.ConclusionsThe current result provided a valuable insight into the anthocyanin accumulation in the purple-leafed variety of Pak Choi and a bioinformatic resource for further functional identification of key allelic genes determining the difference of anthocyanin content between Pak Choi varieties.

Gene Expression Analysis of Pak Choi in Response to Vernalization.

Project description:Pak choi is a seed vernalization-type plant whose vernalization mechanism is currently unclear. Therefore, it is critical to discover genes related to vernalization and research its functions during vernalization in pak choi. Here, the gene expression profiles in the shoot apex were analyzed after low temperature treatment using high-throughput RNA sequencing technology. The results showed that there are 1,664 and 1,192 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in pak choi in cold treatment ending and before flower bud differentiation, respectively, including 42 genes that exhibited similar expression trend at both stages. Detailed annotation revealed that the proteins encoded by the DEGs are located in the extracellular region, cell junction and extracellular matrix. These proteins exhibit activity such as antioxidant activity and binding protein/transcription factor activity, and they are involved in signal transduction and the immune system/biological processes. Among the DEGs, Bra014527 was up-regulated in low temperature treatment ending, Bra024097 was up-regulated before flower bud differentiation and Bra035940 was down-regulated at both stages in low temperature-treated shoot apices. Homologues of these genes in A. thaliana, AT3G59790, AT4G30200 and AT5G61150, are involved in flowering and vernalization, suggesting that they take part in the vernalization process in pak choi. Further pathway enrichment analysis revealed that most genes were enriched in the tryptophan metabolism and glucosinolate biosynthesis pathways. However, the functions of tryptophan and glucosinolate in vernalization are not yet clear and require further analysis.

Comparative proteomics analysis of peanut roots reveals differential mechanisms of cadmium detoxification and translocation between two cultivars differing in cadmium accumulation.

Project description:BackgroundPeanut is one of the most important oil and protein crops, and it exhibits wide cultivar variations in shoot Cd accumulation ability. However, the mechanism of Cd accumulation in peanut shoots has not been well understood. In this study, the root proteomics of two cultivars differing in seed Cd accumulation, Fenghua 1 (F, low Cd cultivar) and Silihong (S, high Cd cultivar), were investigated under 0 (CK) and 2 μM Cd conditions.ResultsA total of 4676 proteins were identified by proteomics screening. Of them, 375, 1762, 1276 and 771 proteins were identified to be differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) for comparison of FCd/FCK, SCd/SCK, FCK/SCK and FCd/SCd, respectively. Silihong is more sensitive to Cd exposure than Fenghua 1 in terms of root proteomics. A total of 30 and 86 DEPs were identified to be related with heavy metal transport and cell wall modification, respectively. The up-regulation of ABCB25, ABCC14, ABCC2, PDR1 and V-ATPases by Cd exposure in Silihong might enhance vacuolar sequestration of Cd and its efflux from symplast to apoplast. The higher Cd accumulation in the root CWs of Silihong might be resulted from its higher capability of CW modification, in which many proteins such as IRX10L, BGLU12-like, BGLU42, EXLB1, XTH30, XTH6, XYL7, PAL3, COMT, CAD1, and CCR1 were involved.ConclusionsThe vacuolar sequestration and efflux of Cd as well as its adsorption in CW might be the principal mechanism of cadmium detoxification in Silihong. The higher capacity of Cd accumulation and translocation of Silihong is an inherent characteristics in which ACA8 and ZIP1 might be involved.

Overexpression of a Pak Choi Gene, BcAS2, Causes Leaf Curvature in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:The LBD (Lateral Organ Boundaries Domain) family are a new group of plant-specific genes, which encode a class of transcription factors containing conserved Lateral Organization Boundary (LOB) domains, and play an important role in regulating the adaxial-abaxial polarity of plant leaves. In Arabidopsis thaliana, ASYMMETRIC LEAVES 2 (AS2) has a typical LOB domain and is involved in determining the adaxial cell fate. In this study, we isolated the BcAS2 gene from the pak choi cultivar "NHCC001", and analyzed its expression pattern. The results showed that the BcAS2 encoded a protein made up of 202 amino acid residues which were located in the nucleus and cytomembrane. The Yeast two-hybrid system (Y2H) assay indicated that BcAS2 interacts with BcAS1-1 and BcAS1-2 (the homologous genes of AS1 gene in pak choi). In the transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana that overexpressed BcAS2 gene, it presented an abnormal phenotype with a curly shape. Taken together, our findings not only validate the function of BcAS2 in leaf development in Arabidopsis thaliana, but also contribute in unravelling the molecular regulatory mechanism of BcAS2, which fulfills a special role by forming complexes with BcAS1-1/2 in the establishment of the adaxial-abaxial polarity of the lateral organs in pak choi.

Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed key factors for differential cadmium transport and retention in roots of two contrasting peanut cultivars.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Peanut is the world's fourth largest oilseed crop that exhibits wide cultivar variations in cadmium (Cd) accumulation. To establish the mechanisms of Cd distribution and accumulation in peanut plants, eight cDNA libraries from the roots of two contrasting cultivars, Fenghua 1 (low-Cd cultivar) and Silihong (high-Cd cultivar), were constructed and sequenced by RNA-sequencing. The expression patterns of 16 candidate DEGs were validated by RT-qPCR analysis. RESULTS:A total of 75,634 genes including 71,349 known genes and 4484 novel genes were identified in eight cDNA libraries, among which 6798 genes were found to be Cd-responsive DEGs and/or DEGs between these two cultivars. Interestingly, 183 DEGs encoding ion transport related proteins and 260 DEGs encoding cell wall related proteins were identified. Among these DEGs, nine metal transporter genes (PDR1, ABCC4 and ABCC15, IRT1, ZIP1, ZIP11, YSL7, DTX43 and MTP4) and nine cell wall related genes (PEs, PGIPs, GTs, XYT12 CYP450s, LACs, 4CL2, C4H and CASP5) showed higher expression in Fenghua 1 than in Silihong. CONCLUSIONS:Both the metal transporters and cell wall modification might be responsible for the difference in Cd accumulation and translocation between Fenghua 1 and Silihong. These findings would be useful for further functional analysis, and reveal the molecular mechanism responsible for genotype difference in Cd accumulation.

Comparative analysis of cadmium uptake and distribution in contrasting canadian flax cultivars.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Humans consume low quantities of cadmium (Cd), a non-nutritive and potentially toxic heavy metal, primarily via the dietary intake of grains. A trial experiment was conducted to investigate physiological and developmental differences in Cd content in four flax cultivars ('AC Emerson', 'Flanders', 'CDC Bethune', and 'AC McDuff') as part of a study to provide information that will assist in the breeding of low Cd-accumulating flax cultivars. Our objective was to identify varietal differences in the uptake and distribution of Cd in various tissues among flax cultivars grown in naturally Cd-containing soil in a controlled environment. RESULTS:Cadmium concentration was dependent on genotype, developmental stage, and tissue type, as well as their interaction. Cadmium concentration was higher in roots and leaves, relative to all other tissues, with a general trend of decreasing Cd content over time within leaves and stems. Notably, the concentration of Cd was higher in 'AC Emerson' relative to 'AC McDuff' across tissues and ages, including the seeds, while the concentration of 'Flanders' was higher than in 'AC McDuff' in seeds and other reproductive organs but similar in roots and leaves. The results suggest varietal differences in the mechanisms that determine Cd content in seeds.

Comparative study on berry development of two grape cultivars by transcriptomic analyses [Victoria]

Project description:Grape berry development is a highly coordinated, intricate and complex process with many morphological, biochemical and physiological changes occurring during the ripening process. Equally, ripening is an organoleptic characteristic linked to fruit development. The fruits Seedless (FS) and Victoria (VT) grape varieties exhibit many morphological and phytochemical differences, but genetic mechanisms underlying them remain poorly explored. Herein, we comparatively analysed the phenotypic and transcriptomic patterns of Victoria (VT) and Flame Seedless (FS) grape varieties during berry development. We studied the physiological analysis and transcriptomic profiles sequencing were performed at four berry developmental stages time-points (40, 50, 60 and 80 DPA). Notably, the VT variety berry size was comparatively larger to the FS variety. At maturity, 80DPA, the FS soluble solids were 61.8% higher than VT. Further, a total of 4889 and 2802 DEG’s were identified from VT and FS 40 DPA to 80 DPA development stages, respectively. 1386 DEGs were common in the two varieties. GO analysis identified Cysteine biosynthetic process, response to red light, chlorophyll binding, polysaccharide biosynthetic process and chloroplast thylakoid membrane as some of the dominant terms under the biological processes, molecular function and cellular component categories.
