Project description:Climate change is affecting crop production due to soil salinization and water scarcity, and is predicted to worsen in the coming years. Rice is a major staple food and the most salt-sensitive cereal. High salinity in the soil triggers several adaptive responses in rice to cope with osmotic and ionic stress at the physiological, cellular and molecular levels. A major QTL for salinity tolerance, named Saltol, is present on chromosome 1 of Indian rice landrace varieties such as Pokkali and Nona Bokra. In this study, we characterized the physiological and early proteomic responses to salinity in FL478, an inbred rice line harboring the Saltol region. For this, plantlets were cultured in hydroponic cultures with 100 mM NaCl and evaluated at 6, 24 and 48h. At the physiological level, salinity significantly reduced shoot length after 48 h, whereas root length significantly increased. Moreover, the Na+/K+ ratio was maintained at lower levels in the shoots compared to the roots FL478 plantlets. On the other hand, roots showed a faster and more coordinated proteomic response than shoots, which was evident from only 6h of treatment. These responses were markedly related with transcription- and translation-related proteins. Moreover, roots exhibited a higher accumulation of stress-related proteins in response to salinity treatment, like peroxidase and SalT, which are both present in the Saltol QTL. Both, physiological and proteomic response, showed that roots respond in a highly adaptive manner to salinity stress compared to shoots, which suggests that this tissue is critical to the tolerance observed in varieties harbouring the Saltol region.

Project description:Soil salinity is a major production constrain for agricultural crops, especially in Oryza sativa (rice). Analyzing physiological effect and molecular mechanism under salt stress is key for developing stress-tolerant plants. Roots system has a major role in coping with the osmotic change impacted by salinity and few salt-stress-related transcriptome studies in rice have been previously reported. However, transcriptome data sets using rice roots grown in soil condition are more relevant for further applications, but have not yet been available. The present work analyzed rice root and shoot physiological characteristics in response to salt stress using 250 mM NaCl for different timepoints. Subsequently, we identified that 5 day treatment is critical timepoint for stress response in the specific experimental design. We then generated RNA-Seq-based transcriptome data set with rice roots treated with 250 mM NaCl for 5 days along with untreated controls in soil condition using rice japonica cultivar Chilbo. We identified 447 upregulated genes under salt stress with more than fourfold changes (p value < 0.05, FDR < 0.05) and used qRT-PCR for six genes to confirm their salt-dependent induction patterns. GO-enrichment analysis indicated that carbohydrate and amino-acid metabolic process are significantly affected by the salt stress. MapMan overview analysis indicated that secondary metabolite-related genes are induced under salt stress. Metabolites profiling analysis confirmed that phenolics and flavonoids accumulate in root under salt stress. We further constructed a functional network consisting of regulatory genes based on predicted protein–protein interactions, suggesting useful regulatory molecular network for future applications.

Project description:Background: Rice is a staple crop for over half of the global population, but soil salinization poses a significant threat to its production. As a type of polyamine, spermidine (Spd) has been shown to reduce stress-induced damage in plants, but its specific role and mechanism in protecting rice roots under salt stress require further investigation. Results: This study suggested spermidine (Spd) mitigates salt stress on rice root growth by enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity and reducing peroxide levels. Transcriptomic analysis showed that salt stress caused 333 genes to be upregulated and 1,765 to be downregulated. However, adding Spd during salt treatment significantly altered this pattern: 2,298 genes were upregulated and 844 were downregulated, which indicated Spd reverses some transcriptional changes caused by salt stress. KEGG pathway analysis suggested that Spd influenced key signaling pathways, including MAPK signaling, plant hormone signal transduction, and phenylalanine metabolism. Additionally, the bZIP transcription factor OsbZIP73 was upregulated after Spd treatment, which is confirmed by Western blot. Further insights into the interaction between OsbZIP73 and Spd were gained through fluorescence polarization experiments, showing that Spd enhances protein OsbZIP73's affinity for RNA. Functional enrichment analyses revealed that OsPYL1, OsSPARK1, and various SAUR family genes involved in Spd-affected pathways. The presence of G/A/C-box elements in these genes suggests they are potential targets for OsbZIP73. Conclusions: Our findings suggest a strategy of using spermidine as a chemical alleviator for salt stress and provide insights into the regulatory function of OsbZIP73 in mitigating salt stress in rice roots.

Project description:Soil salinity presents a notable challenge to agriculture and to increasing the use marginal lands for farming. Here we provide a detailed analysis of the physiology, chemistry and gene expression patterns in roots and shoots of Camelina sativa in response to salt stress. Salt treatment reduced shoot, but not root length. Root and shoot weight were affected by salt, as was photosynthetic capacity. Salt treatment did not alter micro-element concentration in shoots, but increased macro-element (Ca and Mg) levels. Gene expression patterns in shoots indicated that salt stress may have led to shuttling of Na+ from the cytoplasm to the tonoplast and to an increase in K+ and Ca+2 import into the cytoplasm. In roots, gene expression patterns indicated that Na+ was exported from the cytoplasm by the SOS pathway and that K+ was imported in response to salt. Genes encoding proteins involved in chelation and storage were highly up-regulated in shoots, while metal detoxification appeared to involve various export mechanisms in roots. In shoots, genes involved in secondary metabolism leading to lignin, anthocyanin and wax production were up-regulated, probably to improve desiccation tolerance. Partial genome expression partitioning was observed in roots and shoots based on the expression of homeologous genes from the three C. sativa genomes. Genome I and II were involved in the response to salinity stress to about the same degree, while about 10 % more differentially-expressed genes were associated with Genome III. This study has provided valuable information and insight into the response of camelina to salt stress. Examination of this data and comparison to similar studies in more halophytic species will allow development of even more salt-tolerant varieties of this emerging industrial crop.

Project description:We found that primary root (PR) is more resistant to salt stress compared with crown roots (CR) and seminal roots (SR). To understand better salt stress responses in maize roots, six RNA libraries were generated and sequenced from primary root (PR), primary roots under salt stress (PR-salt) , seminal roots (SR), seminal roots under salt stress (SR-salt), crown roots (CR), and crown roots under salt stress (CR-salt). Through integrative analysis, we identified 444 genes regulated by salt stress in maize roots, and found that the expression patterns of some genes and enzymes involved in important pathway under salt stress, such as reactive oxygen species scavenging, plant hormone signal perception and transduction, and compatible solutes synthesis differed dramatically in different maize roots. 16 of differentially expressed genes were selected for further validation with quantitative real time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR).We demonstrate that the expression patterns of differentially expressed genes are highly diversified in different maize roots. The differentially expressed genes are correlated with the differential growth responses to salt stress in maize roots. Our studies provide deeper insight into the molecular mechanisms about the differential growth responses of different root types in response to environmental stimuli in planta.

Project description:Salinity tolerance is a complex trait and, despite many efforts to obtain rice plants resistant to salt, few results have been achieved since a deeper understanding of the tolerance mechanisms is still needed. We used imaging of photosynthetic parameters, ion analysis and transcriptomic approaches to unveil differences between two rice varieties differing in salt sensitivity. Moreover, we analysed H2O2 production in roots, using a fluorescent probe, and the ensuing gene regulation. Transcriptomic analyses conducted in tolerant plants supported the set-up of an adaptive program consisting of allocating sodium preferentially to roots, restricting it to the oldest leaves and activating regulatory mechanisms of photosynthesis in new leaves. As a consequence, plants resumed growth even under prolonged salt stress. By contrast, in the susceptible variety, RNA profiling unveiled a mis-targeted response, leading to senescence and cell death. In roots of tolerant plants, an increase in H2O2 was observed as early as 5 minutes after treatment. Consequently, the expression of genes involved in perception, signal transduction and response to salt were induced at earlier times when compared to susceptible plant roots. Our results demonstrate that a prompt H2O2 signalling in roots participates to a coordinated response resulting in adaptation instead of senescence in salt treated rice plants.

Project description:Dongxiang wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) is the progenitor of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) and is well known for its superior level of tolerance against cold, drought and diseases. To date, however, little is known about the salt-tolerant character of Dongxiang wild rice. To elucidate the molecular genetic mechanisms of salt-stress tolerance in Dongxiang wild rice, the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform was used to analyze the transcriptome profiles of the leaves and roots at the seedling stage under salt stress compared with those under normal conditions. The analysis results for the sequencing data showed that 6,867 transcripts were differentially expressed in the leaves (2,216 up-regulated and 4,651 down-regulated) and 4,988 transcripts in the roots (3,105 up-regulated and 1,883 down-regulated). Among these differentially expressed genes, the detection of many transcription factor genes demonstrated that multiple regulatory pathways were involved in salt stress tolerance. In addition, the differentially expressed genes were compared with the previous RNA-Seq analysis of salt-stress responses in cultivated rice Nipponbare, indicating the possible specific molecular mechanisms of salt-stress responses for Dongxiang wild rice. A large number of the salt-inducible genes identified in this study were co-localized onto fine-mapped salt-tolerance-related quantitative trait loci, providing candidates for gene cloning and elucidation of molecular mechanisms responsible for salt-stress tolerance in rice. Leaf and root mRNA profiles of Dongxiang wild rice at the seedling stage with or without salt stress were generated by deep sequencing, on Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform.

Project description:Increasing soil salinization has led to severe losses of plant yield and quality. Researching the formation of plant salt tolerance and the molecular mechanism of the salt stress response is therefore urgent. We here take advantage of recent progress in single-cell transcriptomics technology to systematically analyze plant roots response to salt stress, and 57,185 high-quality cells were totally obtained from 5-day-old lateral root tips of Gossypium arboreum under natural growth and different salt-treatment conditions. Eleven cell types with an array of novel marker genes were identified and confirmed with RNA in situ hybridization. Pseudotime analysis on epidermal and root hair cells indicated the differentiation trajectory, and differential root-type cells responding to salt stress resulted in more epidermal and less endodermal cells. Abundant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found to be engaged in glycometabolism, reactive oxygen species hemeostasis, and phosphatidylinositol and MAKP signal pathways through functional enrichment analyses. Some candidate DEGs related with transcription factors and plant hormones responding to salt stress were also screened, which requires further functional verification to reveal the regulatory model of the plant roots response to salt stress. Combined with bulk RNA-seq data, a common DEG (Ga08G2497) annotated as Aldo-keto reductase-1 (AKR1) was selected to perform virus-induced gene silencing verification, and the silencing of GaAKR1 gene in G. arboreum resulted in severe stress-susceptibility phenotype, shorter root length, and less number of lateral roots. Physiological and biochemical detection also demonstrated that GaAKR1-silenced plants suffered more serious oxidative damages and, indicating that GaAKR1 might participates in salt tolerance of cotton by oxidation-reduction process. For the first time, we characterized a transcriptional atlas of plant roots under salt stress at a single-cell resolution, which explored the cellular heterogeneity, differential root-type cells, and differentiation trajectory, while providing valuable insights into the molecular mechanism underlying stress tolerance in plants.

Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize the tissue tolerance mechanisms of rice under salt stress. Our preliminary experiment identified a japonica rice landrace Shuzenji-kokumai (SZK), which is considered to be tissue-tolerant because it can maintain better growth than salt-sensitive rice while having a high Na+ concentration in the shoots under salt stress. These mechanisms differ from those of most salt-tolerant rice varieties, which have low Na+ concentrations in the shoots. We compared the physiological and molecular characteristics of SZK with those of FL478, a salt-tolerant variety, and Kunishi, a salt-sensitive variety. Under salt stress conditions, SZK accumulated high levels of Na+ in roots, leaf sheaths, and leaf blades, which were almost as high as those in the salt-sensitive Kunishi. Simultaneously, SZK maintained better growth and physiological status, as determined by its higher dry weight, lower electrolyte leakage ratio, and lower malondialdehyde concentration. OsNHX1 and OsNHX2 were up-regulated in the leaf sheaths of SZK, suggesting that Na+ is compartmentalized in the vacuole to avoid Na+ toxicity. In contrast, FL478 showed up-regulation of OsHKT1;5 and OsSOS1 in the roots, which exclude Na+ from the shoots. RNA-seq analysis showed that 4623 and 1998 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in the leaf sheaths and leaf blades of SZK, respectively. Among them, the HSP (heat shock protein) gene expression was highly up-regulated only in SZK, indicating that SZK protects against the protein damage caused by Na+ toxicity. Our findings suggest that SZK has atypical survival mechanisms under salt-stress conditions. These mechanisms offer potential traits for improving salt tolerance in rice.
