Overexpression of a Rosa rugosa Thunb. NUDX gene enhances biosynthesis of scent volatiles in petunia.

ABSTRACT: Rosa rugosa is an important natural perfume plant in China. Rose essential oil is known as 'liquid gold' and has high economic and health values. Monoterpenes are the main fragrant components of R. rugosa flower and essential oil. In this study, a member of the hydrolase gene family RrNUDX1 was cloned from Chinese traditional R. rugosa 'Tang Hong'. Combined analysis of RrNUDX1 gene expression and the aroma components in different development stages and different parts of flower organ, we found that the main aroma component content was consistent with the gene expression pattern. The RrNUDX1 overexpressed Petunia hybrida was acquired via Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation systems. The blades of the transgenic petunias became wider and its growth vigor became strong with stronger fragrance. Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry analysis showed that the contents of the main aroma components of the transgenic petunias including methyl benzoate significantly increased. These findings indicate that the RrNUDX1 gene plays a role in enhancing the fragrance of petunia flowers, and they could lay an important foundation for the homeotic transformation of RrNUDX1 in R. rugosa for cultivating new R. rugosa varieties of high-yield and -quality essential oil.

RrGT2, A Key Gene Associated with Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Rosa rugosa, Was Identified Via Virus-Induced Gene Silencing and Overexpression.

Project description:In this study, a gene with a full-length cDNA of 1422 bp encoding 473 amino acids, designated RrGT2, was isolated from R. rugosa 'Zizhi' and then functionally characterized. RrGT2 transcripts were detected in various tissues and were proved that their expression patterns corresponded with anthocyanins accumulation. Functional verification of RrGT2 in R. rugosa was performed via VIGS. When RrGT2 was silenced, the Rosa plants displayed a pale petal color phenotype. The detection results showed that the expression of RrGT2 was significantly downregulated, which was consistent with the decrease of all anthocyanins; while the expression of six key upstream structural genes was normal. Additionally, the in vivo function of RrGT2 was investigated via its overexpression in tobacco. In transgenic tobacco plants expressing RrGT2, anthocyanin accumulation was induced in the flowers, indicating that RrGT2 could encode a functional GT protein for anthocyanin biosynthesis and could function in other species. The application of VIGS in transgenic tobacco resulted in the treated tobacco plants presenting flowers whose phenotypes were lighter in color than those of normal plants. These results also validated and affirmed previous conclusions. Therefore, we speculated that glycosylation of RrGT2 plays a crucial role in anthocyanin biosynthesis in R. rugosa.

Systematic Identification and Analysis of OSC Gene Family of Rosa rugosa Thunb.

Project description:The oxidosqualene cyclase family of Rosa rugosa (RrOSC) provides a starting point for the triterpenoid pathway, which contributes to the medicinal value of the extraction of tissues of Rosa rugosa. However, the structure and function of key RrOSCs of active triterpenoids remain ambiguous. In this study, a total of 18 RrOSC members with conservative gene structures and motifs were identified based on the genome of Rosa rugosa. The RrOSCs were located on three chromosomes including two gene clusters that derived from gene replication. The phylogenetic relationship divided RrOSCs into six groups, and the RrOSCs of GI and GIV that were represented by lupeol or α-amyrin were identified as likely to include candidate genes for producing active triterpenoids. Considering the high expression or specific-tissue expression of the candidates, RrOSC1, RrOSC10, RrOSC12, and RrOSC18 were considered the key genes. RrOSC12 was identified in vitro as lupeol synthase. The results provided fundamental information and candidate genes for further illustration of the triterpenoid pathway involved in the pharmacological activities of Rosa rugosa.

Analysis of microRNAs, phased small interfering RNAs and their functions in Rosa rugosa Thunb

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play important roles by regulating other genes. Rose, Rosa rugosa Thunb., is an important ornamental and edible plant, yet there are only a few studies on the miRNAs and their functions in rose. Here we carried out computational and experimental analysis of miRNAs, phased small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) and mRNAs in rose by analyzing 10 small RNA sequencing profiles from roots, petals, pollens, stamens, and leaves and 4 RNA-seq profiles in leaves and petals of rose. To identify the targets of miRNAs and phasiRNAs, we produced a degradome profile for rose leaf which is analyzed using the SeqTar algorithm. This study identified 25 conserved pre-miRNAs, of which 24 have not been reported previously. We also found 22 novel pre-miRNAs. Three hundred and thirty nine 21 nucleotide (nt) PHAS loci, and forty nine 24 nt PHAS loci were also identified. We identified more than 19,000 putative targets of the conserved miRNAs/tasiRNAs using a criteria of less than 4 mismatches between miRNA and targets. Among these targets, 592 have shown significant accumulation of degradome reads. Our results demonstrate that the miR482 family triggers the generations of phasiRNAs by targeting nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) disease resistance genes in rose. Our results also suggest that the deregulated genes in leaves and petals are significantly enriched in GO and KEGG pathways related to metabolic processes and photosynthesis. These results significantly enhanced our knowledge of the miRNAs and phasiRNAs, as well as their potential functions in rose.

Overexpression of an ABA biosynthesis gene using a stress-inducible promoter enhances drought resistance in petunia.

Project description:The response of plants to drought stress includes reduced transpiration as stomates close in response to increased abscisic acid (ABA) concentrations. Constitutive overexpression of 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED), a key enzyme in ABA biosynthesis, increases drought resistance, but causes negative pleiotropic effects on plant growth and development. We overexpressed the tomato NCED (LeNCED1) in petunia plants under the control of a stress-inducible promoter, rd29A. Under water stress, the transgenic plants had increased transcripts of NCED mRNA, elevated leaf ABA concentrations, increased concentrations of proline, and a significant increase in drought resistance. The transgenic plants also displayed the expected decreases in stomatal conductance, transpiration, and photosynthesis. After 14 days without water, the control plants were dead, but the transgenic plants, though wilted, recovered fully when re-watered. Well-watered transgenic plants grew like non-transformed control plants and there was no effect of the transgene on seed dormancy.

Identification and comprehensive analysis of microRNAs and phased small interfering RNAs in Rosa rugosa Thunb [degradome]

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate target mRNAs by inducing degradation or preventing translation of their target mRNAs. Rose, Rosa rugosa Thunb., is an important ornamental and edible plant, yet there are only a few studies on the miRNAs of rose. Here we carried out computational and experimental analysis of miRNAs and phased small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) in rose by analyzing 10 small RNA profiles from roots, petals, pollens, stamens, and leaves. To identify the targets of miRNAs and phasiRNAs, we generated a degradome profile for rose leaf which is analyzed using the SeqTar algorithm. This study identified 25 conserved pre-miRNAs, of which 24 have not been reported previously. We also found 22 novel pre-miRNAs. Three hundred and thirty nine 21 nucleotide (nt) PHAS loci, and forty nine 24 nt PHAS loci were also identified. We identified more than 4000 putative targets of the conserved miRNAs using a criteria of less than 4 mismatches between miRNA and targets. Among these targets, at least 171 have shown significant accumulation of degradome reads. Our results demonstrate that the miR482 family triggers the generations of phasiRNAs by targeting nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) disease resistance genes in rose. These results significantly enhanced our knowledge of the miRNAs and phasiRNAs, as well as their potential functions in rose.

Molecular cloning and characterization of farnesyl diphosphate synthase from Rosa rugosa Thunb associated with salinity stress.

Project description:Rosa rugosa, a renowned ornamental plant, is cultivated for its essential oil containing valuable monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and other compounds widely used in the floriculture industry. Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS) is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of sesquiterpenes and triterpenes for abiotic or biotic stress. In this study, we successfully cloned and characterized a full-length FPPS- encoding cDNA identified as RrFPPS1 using RT-PCR from R. rugosa. Phylogenetic analysis showed that RrFPPS1 belonged to the angiosperm-FPPS clade. Transcriptomic and RT-qPCR analyses revealed that the RrFPPS1 gene had tissue-specific expression patterns. Subcellular localization analysis using Nicotiana benthamiana leaves showed that RrFPPS1 was a cytoplasmic protein. In vitro enzymatic assays combined with GC-MS analysis showed that RrFPPS1 produced farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) using isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) as substrates to provide a precursor for sesquiterpene and triterpene biosynthesis in the plant. Additionally, our research found that RrFPPS1 was upregulated under salt treatment. These substantial findings contribute to an improved understanding of terpene biosynthesis in R. rugosa and open new opportunities for advancements in horticultural practices and fragrance industries by overexpression of the RrFPPS1 gene in vivo increased FPP production and subsequently led to elevated sesquiterpene yields in the future. The knowledge gained from this study can potentially lead to the development of enhanced varieties of R. rugosa with improved aroma, medicinal properties, and resilience to environmental stressors.

Cloning and Functional Verification of Genes Related to 2-Phenylethanol Biosynthesis in Rosa rugosa.

Project description:In China, Rosa rugosa is cultivated as a source of natural perfumes. Rose essential oil is known as "liquid gold", given its high economic and health value. 2-phenylethanol accounts for more than 10% of the total mass fraction of the essential oil derived from R. rugosa. The regulatory mechanisms underlying 2-phenylethanol metabolism in R. rugosa, however, remain unclear. In this study, RrAAAT and RrPPDC1, two genes related to 2-phenylethanol synthesis, were cloned from R. rugosa. Expression analysis revealed that RrAAAT and RrPPDC1 were highly expressed in rose flowers in the full opening and withering stages, and in calyxes. The overexpression vectors of RrAADC, RrAAAT, and RrPPDC1 were established and transformed into Petunia hybrida via Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. Results demonstrated that the overexpression of RrAADC and RrAAAT increased the 2-phenylethanol content of transgenic petunia flowers. The results of this study provide a basis for the introduction of genes related to 2-phenylethanol synthesis into roses to increase the 2-phenylethanol content of rose essential oil.
