A point-to-point protein-protein interaction assay reveals the signaling interplays among plant hormones and environmental cues.

ABSTRACT: As sessile organisms, plants must properly coordinate their growth and developmental programs with changes in the environment. The integration of exogenous environmental cues with endogenous plant hormone responses often occurs through physical protein-protein interactions (PPIs). However, a comprehensive PPI network that mediates environmental and hormonal responses has not been established. In this study, we initially cloned 113 phytohormone-related genes and 29 light signaling components of Arabidopsis and then individually tested their mutual interactions (in total 2,655 tests) using a yeast-two-hybrid approach to ultimately identify 141 interactions. Based on these interaction results, we next revealed the signaling cross talk between jasmonate and abscisic acid by characterizing the JAZ1-PYL4 and JAZ1-ABI1 interactions. Thus, we generated a useful resource for the community to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying signaling interactions between plant hormones and/or with light.

Project description:BackgroundStudying plasticity in gene expression in natural systems is crucial, for predicting and managing the effects of climate change on plant species. To understand the contribution of gene expression level variations to abiotic stress compensation in a Himalaya plant (Primula sikkimensis), we carried out a transplant experiment within (Ambient), and beyond (Below Ambient and Above Ambient) the altitudinal range limit of species. We sequenced nine transcriptomes (three each from each altitudinal range condition) using Illumina sequencing technology. We compared the fitness variation of transplants among three transplant conditions.ResultsA large number of significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between below ambient versus ambient (109) and above ambient versus ambient (85) were identified. Transcripts involved in plant growth and development were mostly up-regulated in below ambient conditions. Transcripts involved in signalling, defence, and membrane transport were mostly up-regulated in above ambient condition. Pathway analysis revealed that most of the genes involved in metabolic processes, secondary metabolism, and flavonoid biosynthesis were differentially expressed in below ambient conditions, whereas most of the genes involved in photosynthesis and plant hormone signalling were differentially expressed in above ambient conditions. In addition, we observed higher reproductive fitness in transplant individuals at below ambient condition compared to above ambient conditions; contrary to what we expect from the cold adaptive P. sikkimensis plants.ConclusionsWe reveal P. sikkimensis's capacity for rapid adaptation to climate change through transcriptome variation, which may facilitate the phenotypic plasticity observed in morphological and life history traits. The genes and pathways identified provide a genetic resource for understanding the temperature stress (both the hot and cold stress) tolerance mechanism of P. sikkimensis in their natural environment.
