Growth-Promoting Gold Nanoparticles Decrease Stress Responses in Arabidopsis Seedlings.

ABSTRACT: The global economic success of man-made nanoscale materials has led to a higher production rate and diversification of emission sources in the environment. For these reasons, novel nanosafety approaches to assess the environmental impact of engineered nanomaterials are required. While studying the potential toxicity of metal nanoparticles (NPs), we realized that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have a growth-promoting rather than a stress-inducing effect. In this study we established stable short- and long-term exposition systems for testing plant responses to NPs. Exposure of plants to moderate concentrations of AuNPs resulted in enhanced growth of the plants with longer primary roots, more and longer lateral roots and increased rosette diameter, and reduced oxidative stress responses elicited by the immune-stimulatory PAMP flg22. Our data did not reveal any detrimental effects of AuNPs on plants but clearly showed positive effects on growth, presumably by their protective influence on oxidative stress responses. Differential transcriptomics and proteomics analyses revealed that oxidative stress responses are downregulated whereas growth-promoting genes/proteins are upregulated. These omics datasets after AuNP exposure can now be exploited to study the underlying molecular mechanisms of AuNP-induced growth-promotion.

Toxicogenomic responses of C. elegans to gold nanoparticles

Project description:We used Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs) as a model for studying particle specific effects of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) by examining the toxicogenomic responses in a model soil organism, free living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Global genome expression for nematodes exposed to 4-nm citrate-coated Au-NPs at the LC10 (5.9 mg L-1) revealed significant differential expression of 797 genes. The levels of expression for five genes (apl-1, dyn-1, act-5, abu-11, and hsp-4) were confirmed independently with qRT-PCR. Seven common biological pathways associated with 38 of these genes were identified. Activation of 26 pqn/abu genes from noncanonical Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) pathway and up-regulation of molecular chaperones (hsp-16.1, hsp-70, hsp-3 and hsp-4) were observed and are likely indicative of endoplasmic reticulum stress. Inhibition of abu-11 with RNAi showed increase in mortality in Au-NP exposed nematodes suggesting possible involvement of abu-11 (a gene associated with specific to C. elegans UPR) in a protective mechanism against Au-NPs. Exposure to Au-NPs also caused activation of genes involved in apoptosis and necrosis and resulted ultimately in 10% mortality. These results demonstrate that Au-NPs are bioavailable and cause adverse effects to a model ecoreceptor which activate both general and specific biological pathways.

Responses of Polyamine-Metabolic Genes to Polyamines and Plant Stress Hormones in Arabidopsis Seedlings.

Project description:In plants, many of the enzymes in polyamine metabolism are encoded by multiple genes, whose expressions are differentially regulated under different physiological conditions. For comprehensive understanding of their regulation during the seedling growth stage, we examined the expression of polyamine metabolic genes in response to polyamines and stress-related plant hormones in Arabidopsis thaliana. While confirming previous findings such as induction of many of the genes by abscisic acid, induction of arginase genes and a copper amine oxidase gene, CuAOα3, by methyl jasmonate, that of an arginine decarboxylase gene, ADC2, and a spermine synthase gene, SPMS, by salicylic acid, and negative feedback regulation of thermospermine biosynthetic genes by thermospermine, our results showed that expressions of most of the genes are not responsive to exogenous polyamines. We thus examined expression of OsPAO6, which encodes an apoplastic polyamine oxidase and is strongly induced by polyamines in rice, by using the promoter-GUS fusion in transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings. The GUS activity was increased by treatment with methyl jasmonate but neither by polyamines nor by other plant hormones, suggesting a difference in the response to polyamines between Arabidopsis and rice. Our results provide a framework to study regulatory modules directing expression of each polyamine metabolic gene.

AtPPRT1 negatively regulates salt stress response in Arabidopsis seedlings.

Project description:Salt stress is one of the environmental factors that negatively affect plant growth and development. We have previously reported a putative C3HC4 zinc-finger ubiquitin E3 ligase (AtPPRT1) negatively regulates Abscisic acid (ABA) and drought stress response. According to previous studies, the accumulation of ABA in plants can further regulate the salt stress response. Therefore, in this study, we further analyzed whether AtPPRT1 negatively regulates the salt stress response. The results showed that AtPPRT1 expression was induced by salt stress. Furthermore, under salt stress, the β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene driven by the AtPPRT1 promoter has shown increased activity in the hypocotyl and petioles of Arabidopsis seedlings. Additionally, seedlings of the T-DNA insertion mutant atpprt1 showed significant growth advantage under salt stress, whereas overexpressing AtPPRT1 (OE lines) in Arabidopsis seedlings displayed hypersensitive under salt stress. Etiolated atpprt1 seedlings also demonstrated significantly elongated hypocotyl lengths in salt stress. The elevated or reduced salt tolerance of atpprt1 and AtPPRT1 overexpressing lines was confirmed by the changes in chlorophyll content and 3,3'-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining. The above data suggest that AtPPRT1 has a negative effect on salt tolerance in Arabidopsis seedlings.

Idarubicin-Gold Complex: From Crystal Growth to Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:Idarubicin (IDA) is the analog of daunorubicin (DNR). The absence of the methoxy group at position 4 of IDA remarkably improved lipophilicity, which is responsible for extra cellular uptake, higher DNA-binding ability, and considerable cytotoxicity in correlation with doxorubicin (DOX) and DNR. In this paper, we conceived two principal objectives: we realized the crystal structure of IDA by X-ray diffraction measurements on single crystals at room temperature (monoclinic, space group P21, a = 5.1302(2) Å, b = 9.9122(5) Å, c = 24.8868(11) Å; β = 91.425(4)°; V = 1265.14(10) Å3) with refinements of the structure converged to the final R = 3.87%. The second objective has been to develop gold nanoparticles encapsulated with idarubicin through an original methodology in which gold salt (HAuCl4) is chelated with IDA and diacid polymer (PEG) to form hybrid nanoparticles called IDA IN PEG-AuNPs in which drug solubility was enhanced. The computational studies were in agreement with the experimental observations. These hybrid nanoparticles and their precursors were analyzed by Raman, UV-Vis, 1H NMR, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The main results are completed by a theoretical approach to understand the whole process.

Exogenous melatonin confers drought stress by promoting plant growth, photosynthetic capacity and antioxidant defense system of maize seedlings.

Project description:Melatonin is an important biologically active hormone that plays a vital role in plant growth and development. In particular, it has been investigated for its roles in abiotic stress management. The current experiment was carried out to investigate the protective role of melatonin in photosynthetic traits and the antioxidant defense system of maize seedling under drought stress. Maize seedlings were subjected to drought stress (40-45% FC) after two weeks of seedling emergence, followed by a foliar spray (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 µM) and soil drench of melatonin (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 µM). Our results indicated that drought stress negatively affected maize seedling and decreased plant growth and development, biomass accumulation, reduced chlorophyll, and carotenoid content, and significantly declined photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance. On the other hand, reactive oxygen species, soluble protein, and proline content increased under drought stress. However, the application of exogenous melatonin reduced the reactive oxygen species burst and enhanced the photosynthetic activity by protecting from damages through activation of various antioxidant enzymes under drought stress. Foliar application of 100 µM and soil drench of 50 µM melatonin was the most effective treatment concentrations under drought stress. Our current findings hereby confirmed the mitigating potential of melatonin application for drought stress by maintaining plant growth, improving the photosynthetic characteristics and activities of antioxidants enzymes.

Physiological response of North China red elder container seedlings to inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria under drought stress.

Project description:The issue of how to alleviate the negative effects imposed by water stress is an interesting problem. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) colonize the rhizosphere of plants and are known to promote the growth of crops. However, there are few studies characterizing the physiological response of plants to drought stress after PGPR inoculation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of different PGPRs in arid environments and then investigated the effects of PGPR inoculation under drought stress on the physiological characteristics and growth of North China red elder (Sambucus williamsii) nursery container seedlings. The viable count of different PGPRs under drought stress varies widely, and the drought tolerance of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus X128 was significantly higher than that of other PGPRs. In comparison with non-inoculation, inoculation with X128 in an arid environment significantly increased stomatal conductance and mitigated the inhibition of net photosynthetic rate caused by drought stress; this mitigating effect of inoculation is enhanced as the level of drought stress increases. Relative to non-inoculated seedlings, cytokinin levels in the leaves increased by 91.17% under severe drought stress conditions in inoculated seedlings. However, X128 inoculation decreased this deficit to only 44.54%. Compared with non-inoculated seedlings, the relative water content of inoculated seedlings under severe drought stress increased by 15.06%, however the relative conductivity decreased by 12.48%. Consequently, X128 could increase dry matter accumulation of S. williamsii regardless of watering status, indicative of the greater benefits of PGPR on shoot growth than root. Therefore, inoculation of A. calcoaceticus X128 under drought conditions play a significant role for alleviating the negative effects imposed by water stress and promoting plant growth.
