Methylobacterium oryzae CBMB20 influences photosynthetic traits, volatile emission and ethylene metabolism in Oryza sativa genotypes grown in salt stress conditions.

ABSTRACT: MAIN CONCLUSION:Inoculation of endophytic Methylobacterium oryzae CBMB20 in salt-stressed rice plants improves photosynthesis and reduces stress volatile emissions due to mellowing of ethylene-dependent responses and activating vacuolar H+-ATPase. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate) deaminase-producing Methylobacterium oryzae CBMB20 in acclimation of plant to salt stress by controlling photosynthetic characteristics and volatile emission in salt-sensitive (IR29) and moderately salt-resistant (FL478) rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars. Saline levels of 50 mM and 100 mM NaCl with and without bacteria inoculation were applied, and the temporal changes in stress response and salinity resistance were assessed by monitoring photosynthetic characteristics, ACC accumulation, ACC oxidase activity (ACO), vacuolar H+ ATPase activity, and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Salt stress considerably reduced photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, PSII efficiency and vacuolar H+ ATPase activity, but it increased ACC accumulation, ACO activity, green leaf volatiles, mono- and sesquiterpenes, and other stress volatiles. These responses were enhanced with increasing salt stress and time. However, rice cultivars treated with CBMB20 showed improved plant vacuolar H+ ATPase activity, photosynthetic characteristics and decreased ACC accumulation, ACO activity and VOC emission. The bacteria-dependent changes were greater in the IR29 cultivar. These results indicate that decreasing photosynthesis and vacuolar H+ ATPase activity rates and increasing VOC emission rates in response to high-salinity stress were effectively mitigated by M. oryzae CBMB20 inoculation.

Project description:The emission of volatiles in response to salt stress in rice cultivars has not been studied much to date. Studies addressing the regulation of stress induced volatile emission by halotolerant plant growth promoting bacteria containing ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate) deaminase are also limited. The objective of the present study was to investigate the salt alleviation potential of bacteria by regulating photosynthetic characteristics and volatile emissions in rice cultivars, and to compare the effects of the bacteria inoculation and salt responses between two rice genotypes. The interactive effects of soil salinity (0, 50, and 100 mM NaCl) and inoculation with Brevibacterium linens RS16 on ACC accumulation, ACC oxidase activity, carbon assimilation and stress volatile emissions after stress application were studied in the moderately salt resistant (FL478) and the salt-sensitive (IR29) rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars. It was observed that salt stress reduced foliage photosynthetic rate, but induced foliage ACC accumulation, foliage ACC oxidase activity, and the emissions of all the major classes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including the lipoxygenase pathway volatiles, light-weight oxygenated volatiles, long-chained saturated aldehydes, benzenoids, geranylgeranyl diphosphate pathway products, and mono- and sesquiterpenes. All these characteristics scaled up quantitatively with increasing salt stress. The effects of salt stress were more pronounced in the salt-sensitive genotype IR29 compared to the moderately salt resistant FL478 genotype. However, the bacterial inoculation significantly enhanced photosynthesis, and decreased ACC accumulation and the ACC oxidase activity, and VOC emissions both in control and salt-treated plants. Taken together, these results suggested that the ACC deaminase-containing Brevibacterium linens RS16 reduces the temporal regulation of VOC emissions and increases the plant physiological activity by reducing the availability of ethylene precursor ACC and the ACC oxidase activity under salt stress.

Project description:BackgroundDrought is a severe environmental stress. It is estimated that about 50% of the world rice production is affected mainly by drought. Apart from conventional breeding strategies to develop drought-tolerant crops, innovative computational approaches may provide insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of stress response and identify drought-responsive markers. Here we propose a network-based computational approach involving a meta-analytic study of seven drought-tolerant rice genotypes under drought stress.ResultsCo-expression networks enable large-scale analysis of gene-pair associations and tightly coupled clusters that may represent coordinated biological processes. Considering differentially expressed genes in the co-expressed modules and supplementing external information such as resistance/tolerance QTLs, transcription factors, network-based topological measures, we identify and prioritize drought-adaptive co-expressed gene modules and potential candidate genes. Using the candidate genes that are well-represented across the datasets as 'seed' genes, two drought-specific protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs) are constructed with up- and down-regulated genes. Cluster analysis of the up-regulated PPIN revealed ABA signalling pathway as a central process in drought response with a probable crosstalk with energy metabolic processes. Tightly coupled gene clusters representing up-regulation of core cellular respiratory processes and enhanced degradation of branched chain amino acids and cell wall metabolism are identified. Cluster analysis of down-regulated PPIN provides a snapshot of major processes associated with photosynthesis, growth, development and protein synthesis, most of which are shut down during drought. Differential regulation of phytohormones, e.g., jasmonic acid, cell wall metabolism, signalling and posttranslational modifications associated with biotic stress are elucidated. Functional characterization of topologically important, drought-responsive uncharacterized genes that may play a role in important processes such as ABA signalling, calcium signalling, photosynthesis and cell wall metabolism is discussed. Further transgenic studies on these genes may help in elucidating their biological role under stress conditions.ConclusionCurrently, a large number of resources for rice functional genomics exist which are mostly underutilized by the scientific community. In this study, a computational approach integrating information from various resources such as gene co-expression networks, protein-protein interactions and pathway-level information is proposed to provide a systems-level view of complex drought-responsive processes across the drought-tolerant genotypes.
