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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Project description:Salinity stress represents one of the most harmful abiotic stresses for agricultural productivity. Tibetan hulless barley is an important economic crop widely grown in highly stressful conditions in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is often challenged by salinity stress. To investigate the temporal metabolic responses to salinity stress in hulless barley, we performed a widely targeted metabolomic analysis of 72 leaf samples from two contrasting cultivars. We identified 642 compounds 57 % of which were affected by salt stress in the two cultivars, principally amino acids and derivatives, organic acids, nucleotides, and derivatives and flavonoids. A total of 13 stress-related metabolites including piperidine, L-tryptophan, L-glutamic acid, L-saccharopine, L-phenylalanine, 6-methylcoumarin, cinnamic acid, inosine 5'-monophosphate, aminomalonic acid, 6-aminocaproic acid, putrescine, tyramine and abscisic acid (ABA) represent the core metabolome responsive to salinity stress in hulless barley regardless of the tolerance level. In particular, we found that the ABA signalling pathway is essential to salt stress response in hulless barley. The high tolerance of the cultivar 0119 is due to a metabolic reprogramming at key stress times. During the early salt stress stages (0-24 h), 0119 tended to save energy through reduced glycolysis, nucleotide metabolism and amino acid synthesis, while increased antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids. Under prolonged stress (48-72 h), 0119 significantly enhanced energy production and amino acid synthesis. In addition, some important compatible solutes were strongly accumulated. By comparing the two cultivars, nine salt-tolerance biomarkers, mostly unreported salt-tolerance compounds in plants, were uncovered. Our study indicated that the salt tolerant hulless barley cultivar invokes a tolerance strategy which is conserved in other plant species. Overall, we provide for the first time some extensive metabolic data and some important salt-tolerance biomarkers which may assist in efforts to improve hulless barley tolerance to salinity stress.
