Project description:Abiotic stresses such as salinity are very important factors limiting rice growth and productivity around the world. Affymetrix rice genome array containing 48,564 japonica and 1,260 indica sequences was used to analyze the gene expression pattern of rice responsive to salinity stress, try to elucidate the difference of genome-wide gene expression profiling of two contrasting rice genotypes in response to salt stress and to discover the salinity related genes and gene interaction and networks. Under salinity condition, the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in 177-103 was more than that in IR64, and most of up-regulated DEGs in 177-103 are response to stress. But in IR64, most of up-regulated DEGs are transcription related genes. The DEGs under salinity showed very strong tissue specificity, the number of DEGs in leaf was more than that in root. A lot of genes differentially expressed by exogenous ABA treatment under salinity condition, such as Leaf senescence protein, 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase 2 precursor and Protein of unknown function DUF26 were induced by ABA and contributed to salinity tolerance.

Project description:In low rainfall regions soils are naturally conditioned with frequent co-occurrence of salinity and alkalinity. Plant salinity responses both at physiological and molecular level have been extensively researched. However, effects of the combined treatment of alkaline salinity that could greatly reduce plant growth and the mechanisms responsible for tolerance remain indeterminate. In Brassica juncea, large reductions in biomass and increased leaf Na+ concentration under alkaline salinity indicates that the combined treatment had greater negative effect than salinity on both growth and the physiological responses of the plant. To determine molecular mechanisms potentially controlling adaptive tolerance responses to salinity and alkaline salinity, the moderately tolerant genotype NDR 8501 was further investigated using microarray analysis. The transcripts of treated leaf tissues verses those of the untreated control sample were analysed after prolonged stress of four weeks. In total, 528 salinity responsive and 1245 alkaline salinity responsive genes were indentified and only 101 genes were expressed jointly in either of the two treatments. Transcription of 37% more genes involved in response to alkaline salinity than salinity alone, which suggests the increased impact and severity of the combined stress on the plant, indicating the transcription of a far greater number of genes likely involved in mitigation and damage control. Transcription of KUP2 and KUP7 genes involved in potassium homeostasis under salinity alone and NHX1 and ENH1 genes for ion (K+ and Na+) homeostasis under alkaline salinity, clearly demonstrated that different genes and genetic pathways are involved in response to each stress. They further provide supporting evidence for the physiological responses that occur in the plant, with massive reprogramming of the transcriptome leading to partial ion exclusion, shuttling and compartmentation.

Salinity and alkaline salinity induced gene expression in Brassica juncea leaf was measured at 4 weeks of prolonged treatment of 50 mM NaCl alone and combined with 2.5 mM HCO3- versus non-stressed control. A single experiment was conducted using Brassica juncea genotype NDR 8501 at a single time point (fours weeks after treatment) with three replications per treatment.

Project description:Vibrio natriegens strain ATCC 14048 is a salt marsh isolate with a notably rapid growth rate that has garnered considerable interest for biotechnological applications. We used systems-level tools (i.e. metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) to characterize its physiological response to different salinities and temperatures that are relevant not only to its natural environment but also to planned scalable culturing processes. We found organic osmolyte synthesis and membrane transporters were most responsive to changes in salinity. The osmolytes glutamate, glutamine and ectoine responded to salinity across temperature treatments. However, when media was supplemented with choline, glycine betaine appeared to replace ectoine. These results provide a baseline data set for metabolic activity under a variety of conditions that will influence future basic and applied V. natriegens research.

Project description:Aquatic animals have developed various mechanisms to live in either hyperionic or hypoionic environments, and, as such, not many species are capable of surviving in both. The red-eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans, a well-known freshwater species, has recently been found to invade and inhabit brackish water. Herein, we focus on some of the metabolic adaptations that are required to survive and cope with salinity stress. The regulation of the adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a main cellular "energy sensor," and its influence on lipid metabolism were evaluated with a comparison of three groups of turtles: controls in freshwater, and turtles held in water of either 5‰ salinity (S5) or 15‰ salinity (S15) with sampling at 6, 24, and 48 h and 30 days of exposure. When subjected to elevated salinities of 5 or 15‰, AMPK mRNA levels and AMPK enzyme activity increased strongly. In addition, the high expression of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-α (PPARα) transcription factor that, in turn, facilitated upregulation of target genes including carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) and acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO). Furthermore, the expression of transcription factors involved in lipid synthesis such as the carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP) and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c) was inhibited, and two of their target genes, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid synthase (FAS), were significantly decreased. Moreover, exposure to saline environments also increased plasma triglyceride (TG) content. Interestingly, the content of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC) in plasma was markedly higher than the control in the S15 group after 30 days, which indicated that lipid metabolism was disrupted by chronic exposure to high salinity. These findings demonstrate that activation of AMPK might regulate lipid metabolism in response to salinity stress through the inhibition of lipid synthesis and promotion of lipid oxidation in the liver of T. s. elegans. This may be an important component of the observed salinity tolerance of these turtles that allow for invasion of brackish waters.

Project description:The red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans), identified as one of the 100 most invasive species in the world, is a freshwater turtle originally from the eastern United States and northeastern Mexico. Field investigations have shown that T. s. elegans can survive and lay eggs in saline habitats. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms of salinity adaptation, high-throughput RNA-Seq was utilized to identify the changes in gene expression profiles in the liver of T. s. elegans in response to elevated salinity. We exposed individuals to 0, 5, or 15 psu (practical salinity units) for 30 days. A total of 157.21 million reads were obtained and assembled into 205138 unigenes with an average length of 620 bp and N50 of 964 bp. Of these, 1019 DEGs (differentially expressed genes) were found in the comparison of 0 vs. 5 psu, 1194 DEGs in 0 vs. 15 psu and 1180 DEGs in 5 vs. 15 psu, which are mainly related to macromolecule metabolic process, ion transport, oxidoreductase activity and generation of precursor metabolites and energy by GO (Gene Ontology) enrichment analyses. T. s. elegans can adapt itself into salinity by balancing the entry of sodium and chloride ions via the up-regulation expression genes of ion transport (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 5, KCNH5; erine/threonine-protein kinase 32, STK32; salt-inducible kinase 1, SIK1; adiponectin, ACDC), and by accumulating plasma urea and free amino acid via the up-regulation expression genes of amino acid metabolism (ornithine decarboxylase antizyme 3, OAZ3; glutamine synthetase, GLUL; asparaginase-like protein 1b, ASRGL; L-amino-acid oxidase-like, LAAO; sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B, SLC6A15s; amino acid permease, SLC7A9) in response to osmotic regulation. An investment of energy to maintain their homeostatic balance is required to salinity adaptation, therefore, the genes related to energy production and conversion (F-ATPase protein 6, ATP6; cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, COX1; cytochrome c oxidase subunit III, COX3; cytochrome b, CYTb; cytochrome P450 17A1, CYP17A1) were up-regulated with the increase of gene expression associated with lipid metabolism (apolipoprotein E precursor, APoE; coenzyme Q-binding protein, CoQ10; high-density lipoprotein particle, SAA) and carbohydrate metabolism (HK, MIP). These findings improve our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in salinity adaptation and provide general guidance to illuminate the invasion potential of T. s. elegans into saline environments.

Project description:Prochlorococcus is an obligate marine microorganism which are dominant autotroph in tropical and subtropical central oceans. However, what is the low salinity boundary and how Prochlorococcus would response to low salinity exposure is still unknown. In this study, we first tested the growing salinity range of two Prochlorococcus strains, NATL1A and MED4, and then compared the global transcriptome of their low salinity acclimated cells and cells growing in normal seawater salinity. We found that MED4 could be acclimated in the lowest salinity of 25% and NATL1A could be acclimated in the lowest salinity of 28%. Measurement of the effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) indicated that both strains were stressed when growing in salinity lower than 34%. The transcriptomic response of NATL1A and MED4 were approximately different, with much more genes having changed transcript abundance in NATL1A than in MED4. To cope with low salinity, NATL1A downregulated the transcript of most genes involved in translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis, while MED4 upregulated those genes. Moreover, low salinity acclimated NATL1A cells suppressed ATP-producing genes and induced the expression of photosynthesis related genes, while low salinity acclimated MED4 upregulated ATP-producing genes and downregulated photosynthesis related genes. These results indicate that the response to low salinity stress of different Prochlorococcus strains could be distinct. The study provided the first glimpse into the growing salinity range of Prochlorococcus cells and their global gene expression changes due to low salinity stress.
