ITRAQ-Based Comparative Proteomic Analysis of the Roots of TWO Winter Turnip Rapes (Brassica rapa L.) with Different Freezing-Tolerance.

ABSTRACT: The freezing tolerance of roots is crucial for winter turnip rape (Brassica rapa L.) survival in the winter in Northwest China. Cold acclimation (CA) can alleviate the root damage caused by freezing stress. To acknowledge the molecular mechanisms of freezing tolerance in winter turnip rape, two Brassica rapa genotypes, freezing stressed after the induction of cold acclimation, were used to compare the proteomic profiles of roots by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ). Under freezing stress (-4 °C) for 8 h, 139 and 96 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were identified in the roots of "Longyou7" (freezing-tolerant) and "Tianyou4" (freezing-sensitive), respectively. Among these DAPs, 91 and 48 proteins were up- and down-accumulated in "Longyou7", respectively, and 46 and 50 proteins were up- and down-accumulated in "Tianyou4", respectively. Under freezing stress, 174 DAPs of two varieties were identified, including 9 proteins related to ribosome, 19 DAPs related to the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (e.g., phenylpropanoid and the lignin pathway), and 22 down-accumulated DAPs enriched in oxidative phosphorylation, the pentose phosphate pathway, fructose and mannose metabolism, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism. The expressional pattern of the genes encoding the 15 significant DAPs were consistent with the iTRAQ data. This work indicates that protein biosynthesis, lignin synthesis, the reduction of energy consumption and a higher linolenic acid content contribute to the freezing tolerance of winter turnip rape. Functional analyses of these DAPs would be helpful in dissecting the molecular mechanisms of the stress responses in B. rapa.

Project description:Two Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) inbred lines, Chiifu (smaple A) and Kenshin (Smaple B), were grown for approximately 4 weeks in a growth chamber at 22degreesC under a 16 h light/8 h dark photoperiod with a photon flux density of 140 umol m-2 s-1. For microarray analysis, plants were exposed to a temperature of -4degreesC for 4 h, and shoots were sampled. Total RNA was isolated from the samples using an Easy-BLUETM Total RNA Extraction Kit (Invitrogen, NY, U.S.A.) and was then purified using an RNeasy MinEluteTM Cleanup Kit (Qiagen, Germany). Mircroarray experiments were carried out using Brassica 24K Oligo Microarray. RNA were prepared from each plant sample and 10 ug of total RNA were used for cDNA synthesis by using Superscript Double-Stranded cDNA Synthesis Kit (Invitrogen, NY, U.S.A.). Following cDNA synthesis, remaining RNA was removed by the addition of RNaseA and the cDNA was precipitated following phenol/chloroform extraction. The cDNA pellet was rehydrated and used for Cy3-labelling. For the synthesis of Cy3-labeled target DNA fragments, 1 ug of double strand cDNA was mixed with 40 ul (1 OD) of Cy3-9 mer primers (Sigma-Aldrich) and the total volume was adjusted to 80 ul with deionized water. After heating at 98degreesC for 10 min, 10 uL of dNTP mix (10 mM each) and 2 ul of Klenow fragment (NEB; 50 units/ul) were added and the reaction was incubated at 37degreesC for 2 h. Finally, the reaction was stopped by the addition of 10 ul of 0.5 M EDTA. Labeled DNA fragments were precipitated with isopropanol and rehydrated with water. The concentration of each sample was determined using spectrophotometer. For hybridization, 13 ug of the labeled DNA fragment was mixed with hybridization buffer (NimbleGen) and then hybridized with the microarray using a MAUI hybridization chamber (Biomicro) at 42degreesC for 16 h. Following hybridization, the microarray was washed with wash solution I, II, and III (NimbleGen), and then dried in a dark desiccator. The microarray slide was scanned using GenePix scanner 4000B (Axon) and the spot intensities were analyzed using a NimbleScan (NimbleGen). The normal distribution of Cy3 intensities was tested by qqline. The data was normalized and processed with cubic spline normalization using quantiles to adjust signal variations between chips and with Rubust Multi-Chip Analysis (RMA) using a median polish algorithm implemented in NimbleScan software (NimbleGen). Two biological replicates were carried out.

Project description:ObjectiveThe Turnip (Brassica rapa L. ssp. rapa) is a leaf and root vegetable grown and consumed worldwide. The consumption of Turnip has been associated with beneficial effects on human health due to their phytochemicals that may control a variety of physiological functions, including antioxidant activity, enzyme regulation, and apoptotic control and the cell cycle. The current systematic review of the literature aims to evaluate both the profile and quantity of phytochemicals commonly found in Turnip greens and to provide perspectives for further investigation.MethodsThis review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Four bibliographic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web-of-Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were searched to identify published studies until April 8th, 2020 (date last searched) without data and language restriction. Studies were included if they used samples of Turnip greens (the leaves), and evaluated its phytochemical content. Two reviewers independently evaluated the titles and abstracts according to the selection criteria. For each potentially eligible study, two reviewers assessed the full-texts and independently extracted the data using a predesigned data extraction form.ResultsBased on the search strategy 5,077 potentially relevant citations were identified and full texts of 37 studies were evaluated, among which 18 studies were eligible to be included in the current review. The majority of included studies were focused on identification of glucosinolates and isothiocyanates (n = 14, 82%), four studies focused on organic acids, and five studies reported phenolic component profile in Turnip greens. Among included studies nine studies (50%) provided information on phytochemical's content. We found 129 phytochemicals (19 glucosinolates, 33 glucosinolate-breakdown products, 10 organic acids and 59 polyphenolic compounds) reported in Turnip greens. Flavonoids were mainly present as quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin derivatives; while aliphatic forms were the predominant glucosinolate (gluconapin was the most common across five studies, followed by glucobrassicanapin). In general, the phytochemical content varied among the leaves, tops and Turnip roots.ConclusionsEmerging evidence suggests the Turnip as a substantial source of diverse bioactive compounds. However, detailed investigation on the pure compounds derived from Turnip green, their bioavailability, transport and metabolism after consumption is further needed. Additional studies on their biological activity are crucial to develop dietary recommendations on the effective dosage and dietary recommendation of Turnip greens for nutrition and health.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Low temperature is a major abiotic stress affecting the production of rapeseed in China by impeding plant growth and development. A comprehensive knowledge of small-RNA expression pattern in Brassica rapa under cold stress could improve our knowledge of microRNA-mediated stress responses. RESULTS:A total of 353 cold-responsive miRNAs, 84 putative novel and 269 conserved miRNAs, were identified from the leaves and roots of two winter turnip rape varieties 'Longyou 7' (cold-tolerant) and 'Tianyou 4' (cold-sensitive), which were stressed under -?4 °C for 8 h. Eight conserved (miR166h-3p-1, miR398b-3p, miR398b-3p-1, miR408d, miR156a-5p, miR396h, miR845a-1, miR166u) and two novel miRNAs (Bra-novel-miR3153-5p and Bra-novel-miR3172-5p) were differentially expressed in leaves of 'Longyou 7' under cold stress. Bra-novel-miR3936-5p was up-regulated in roots of 'Longyou 7' under cold stress. Four and five conserved miRNAs were differentially expressed in leaves and roots of 'Tianyou 4' after cold stress. Besides, we found two conserved miRNAs (miR319e and miR166m-2) were down-regulated in non-stressed roots of 'Longyou 7' compared with 'Tianyou 4'. After cold stress, we found two and eight miRNAs were differentially expressed in leaves and roots of 'Longyou 7' compared with 'Tianyou 4'. The differentially expressed miRNAs between two cultivars under cold stress include novel miRNAs and the members of the miR166 and miR319 families. A total of 211 target genes for 15 known miRNAs and two novel miRNAs were predicted by bioinformatic analysis, mainly involved in metabolic processes and stress responses. Five differentially expressed miRNAs and predicted target genes were confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and the expressional changes of target genes were negatively correlated to differentially expressed miRNAs. Our data indicated that some candidate miRNAs (e.g., miR166e, miR319, and Bra-novel-miR3936-5p) may play important roles in plant response to cold stress. CONCLUSIONS:Our work indicates that miRNA and putative target genes mediated metabolic processes and stress responses are significant to cold tolerance in B. rapa.

Project description:Winter rapeseed (Brassica rapa L.) is a major oilseed crop in Northern China, where its production was severely affected by chilling and freezing stress. However, not much is known about the role of differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) during the chilling and freezing stress. In this study, isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) technology was performed to identify DAPs under freezing stress. To explore the molecular mechanisms of cold stress tolerance at the cellular and protein levels, the morphological and physiological differences in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) of two winter rapeseed varieties, Longyou 7 (cold-tolerant) and Lenox (cold-sensitive), were explored in field-grown plants. Compared to Lenox, Longyou 7 had a lower SAM height and higher collar diameter. The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content was also decreased. Simultaneously, the soluble sugars (SS) content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, peroxidase (POD) activity, soluble protein (SP) content, and collar diameter were increased in Longyou 7 as compared to Lenox. A total of 6330 proteins were identified. Among this, 98, 107, 183 and 111 DAPs were expressed in L7 CK/Le CK, L7 d/Le d, Le d/Le CK and L7 d/L7 CK, respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis of the coding genes for seventeen randomly selected DAPs was performed for validation. These DAPs were identified based on gene ontology enrichment analysis, which revealed that glutathione transferase activity, carbohydrate-binding, glutathione binding, metabolic process, and IAA response were closely associated with the cold stress response. In addition, some cold-induced proteins, such as glutathione S-transferase phi 2(GSTF2), might play an essential role during cold acclimation in the SAM of Brassica rapa. The present study provides valuable information on the involvement of DAPs during cold stress responses in Brassica rapa L, and hence could be used for breeding experiments.
