Transcriptomic study of Arabidopsis quadruple mutant (quad) for bassinosteroid receptors (BRI1, BRL1 & BRL3) and correceptor (BAK1), in control conditions and under severe drought

ABSTRACT: Abstract: Drought is the primary cause of global agricultural losses and represents a major threat to worldwide food security. Currently, plant biotechnology stands out as the most promising strategy to increase crop growth in rain-fed conditions. The main mechanisms underlying drought resistance have been uncovered by studies of plant physiology and by engineering crops with drought-resistant genes. However, plants with enhanced drought resistance usually display lower levels of growth, highlighting the need to search for novel strategies capable of uncoupling drought resistance from growth. Here, we show that the brassinosteroid family of receptors, in addition to promoting growth, guides phenotypic adaptation to a great variety of drought stress traits analyzed herein. Whilst mutations in the ubiquitously localized BRI1 receptor pathway show an enhanced drought resistance at the expense of plant growth, we found that vascular-enriched BRL3 receptors confer drought tolerance without penalizing overall growth. Systematic analyses reveal that upon drought stress the BRL3 receptor pathway triggers the synthesis and mobilization of osmoprotectant metabolites, mainly proline and sugars. This preferentially occurs in the vascular tissues of the roots and favors overall plant growth. Altogether, our results uncover a new role for the spatial control of BR signaling in drought tolerance, and offer a novel strategy to address food security issues in an increasingly water-limited climate.

Transcriptomic profiling of Arabidopsis hypocotyls of brl3 mutants and tissue-specific overexpressors under elevated temperatures

Project description:Climate change is having a drastic impact on global agriculture. Indeed stress factors such as elevated temperature, drought and rising atmospheric CO2 reduce arable land surface, crop cultivation and yield and overall sustainable food production on earth. However, plants possess immense innate adaptive plasticity and a more in-depth understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms is crucial to strategize for sustaining populations under worsening climate change. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are constitutive plant growth regulators that also control plant adaptation to abiotic stress. Downstream components of the BR biosynthetic pathway, BES1/BZR1 play central role in thermomorphogenesis, but involvement of the BR receptors is not well understood. Here, we show that the BRL3 receptor is essential for plant adaptation to warmer environment. The brl3 mutants lack thermal responsiveness and the BRL3 overexpression causes hyper-thermomorphogenesis response. BRL3 activates canonical BRI1 pathway upon elevated temperature. Further, phloem-specific expression of BRL3 completely rescues the growth adaptation defects of the brl3 mutant. This ability of BRL3 represents a previously unknown thermoresponsive mechanism specifically from phloem and uncouples the roles of BR receptors in generic growth vs adaptation to changing climate conditions.

Overexpression of the vascular brassinosteroid receptor BRL3 confers drought resistance without penalizing plant growth

Project description:<p>Drought represents a major threat to food security. Mechanistic data describing plant responses to drought have been studied extensively and genes conferring drought resistance have been introduced into crop plants. However, plants with enhanced drought resistance usually display lower growth, highlighting the need for strategies to uncouple drought resistance from growth. Here, we show that overexpression of BRL3, a vascular-enriched member of the brassinosteroid receptor family, can confer drought stress tolerance in <em>Arabidopsis</em>. Whereas loss-of-function mutations in the ubiquitously expressed BRI1 receptor leads to drought resistance at the expense of growth, overexpression of BRL3 receptor confers drought tolerance without penalizing overall growth. Systematic analyses reveal that upon drought stress, increased BRL3 triggers the accumulation of osmoprotectant metabolites including proline and sugars. Transcriptomic analysis suggests that this results from differential expression of genes in the vascular tissues. Altogether, this data suggests that manipulating BRL3 expression could be used to engineer drought tolerant crops.</p>

Transcriptomic profiling of Arabidopsis primary root tips of brl3 mutant exposed to DNA damaging agent zeocin [RNA-seq]

Project description:Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones involved in multiple processes of plant growth and development, and the adaptation to the environment. Some of the processes regulated by BRs are meristem activity and stem cell divisions. At the core of the root stem cell niche, it is placed the quiescent center (QC), that act as a cell reservoir. QC cells only trigger their divisions when need to replenish the stem cells, for example, after a DNA damage. BR signaling is in charge of triggering these QC divisions, but the exact mechanisms of how this process is regulated is still unknown. Here, we use an interdisciplinary approach, using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system, including molecular genetics, physiology and bioinformatics to decipher the role of BR receptors upon DNA damage regulating the QC divisions. The results uncover novel roles for the BR-receptor kinase BRL3 (BRI1-like 3) receptor in DNA damage response (DDR) in plants, by modulating the DNA repair and the cell-cycle progression. We identified candidate tissue-specific transcriptional regulator, specifically expressed in the QC cells, the RNR2A (RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASE 2A), in charge of maintaining dNTPs (deoxynucleotide triphosphates) supply during DNA synthesis that is modulated by BRL3 downstream signaling events. Considering the importance of plant stem cells and their tissues for biomass accumulation and constantly exposed to adverse environmental stresses that can cause DNA damage or cell-cycle arrest in the RAM, here we stablished the mechanism linking root meristematic activity to the DDR through the cell-specific steroid receptor kinase BRL3.

A large-scale circular RNA profiling reveals universal molecular mechanisms responsive to drought stress in maize and Arabidopsis

Project description:Drought is a major abiotic stress that threatens global food security. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous RNAs. How these molecules influence plant stress responses remains elusive. Here, a large scale circRNA profiling identified 2174 and 1354 high-confidence circRNAs in maize and Arabidopsis, respectively, and most were differentially expressed in response to drought. A substantial number of drought-associated circRNA hosting genes were involved in conserved or species-specific pathways in drought responses. Comparative analysis revealed that circRNA biogenesis was more complex in maize than in Arabidopsis. In most cases, maize circRNAs were negatively correlated with sRNA accumulation. In 368 maize inbred lines, the circRNA-hosting genes were enriched for SNPs associated with circRNA expression and drought tolerance, implying either important roles of circRNAs in maize drought responses or their potential use as biomarkers for breeding drought-tolerant maize. Additionally, the expression levels of circRNAs derived from drought-responsible genes encoding calcium-dependent protein kinase and cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase were significantly associated with drought tolerance of maize seedlings. Specifically, Arabidopsis plants overexpressing circGORK (Guard cell outward-rectifying K+-channel) were hypersensitive to ABA, but insensitive to drought, suggesting a positive role of circGORK in drought tolerance. We report the transcriptomic profiling and transgenic studies of circRNAs in plant drought responses, and provide evidences highlighting the universal molecular mechanisms involved in plant drought tolerance.

The plant-specific COST1 protein balances plant growth and drought tolerance via attenuation of autophagy

Project description:Plants balance their conflicting requirements for growth and stress tolerance via sophisticated pathways and unique genes that control responses to the external environment. We have identified a novel plant-specific gene, COST1(Constitutively Stressed 1), that affects plant growth and negatively regulates drought resistance by manipulating the autophagy pathway. An Arabidopsis cost1 mutant has decreased growth and increased drought tolerance, together with constitutive autophagy and increased expression of drought-response genes. The COST1 protein is degraded upon plant dehydration, and this degradation is blocked by treatment with inhibitors of the 26S proteasome or autophagy pathways. The cost1 mutant drought resistance is dependent on an active autophagy pathway, indicating that COST1 acts through manipulation of autophagy. COST1 co-localizes to autophagosomes with the autophagosome marker ATG8e and the autophagy adaptor NBR1, and physically interacts with ATG8e, indicating a pivotal role in direct regulation of autophagy. We propose a model in which COST1 represses autophagy under optimal conditions, thus allowing plant growth. During drought, COST1 is degraded, enabling activation of autophagy and suppressing growth to enhance drought tolerance.

Albugo-imposed immunosuppression by compromised salicylate-triggered immunity and altered tryptophan-derived anti-microbial metabolite biosynthesis and bioavailability

Project description:Infection by Albugo species, resulting in white rust disease, suppresses host plant immunity, and can even enable Albugo laibachii-infected Arabidopsis to support growth and reproduction of the non-host potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans. However, the mechanisms involved in non-host resistance remain to be elucidated. Here, we investigate specific host defense mechanisms that are suppressed by A. laibachii and A. candida infection, and compare the resistance contributed by indole glucosinolates and camalexin to that resulting from other components of defense induced by salicylic acid. We conclude a broad repertoire of host defense components contributes to non-host resistance in Arabidopsis to P. infestans, with a particular role for tryptophan-derived anti-microbial metabolites. Identifying the mechanisms involved in non-host resistance to pathogens such as P. infestans is necessary in the development of strategies to ensure future food security.

Transcriptome analysis of response to exogenous trehalose and abiotic stress in grapes

Project description:Grapevine is an important economic fruit tree, and European grape (Vitis vinifera L.) has been widely used in fresh food, drying, winemaking and grape seed extract. However, most European grapes have low resistance to low temperature, drought and salt stress, and these abiotic stresses will limit the growth and development of grapes, thereby affecting the grape quality and yield. Many reports have shown that exogenous or endogenous trehalose can help improve plant stress resistance. Therefore, in order to investigate the function and molecular mechanism of trehalose metabolism in grape response to stress, this project was conducted.

A late blight effector promotes a plant growth and development pathway to antagonise immunity

Project description:To effectively manage resources, regulatory cross-talk between biological processes within an organism is essential. An emerging area in plant research focuses on antagonism between regulatory systems controlling growth/development and those governing immunity. Such crosstalk represents a point of vulnerability for pathogens to exploit. Here we show that the notorious potato blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans promotes a growth and development pathway in order to antagonise plant immunity. AVR2, an effector protein secreted by P. infestans, has been shown to interact with potato BSL1, a putative phosphatase implicated in brassinosteroid hormone signalling. Plants expressing AVR2 exhibit transcriptional and phenotypic overlaps with an over-active brassinosteroid signalling pathway, and have compromised immunity. The activity of AVR2 leads to up-regulation of a functional orthologue of AtHBI1, known to facilitate cross-talk between the brassinosteroid pathway and immune signalling in Arabidopsis. Transient expression of potato HBI1-like compromises immunity and enhances leaf colonisation by P. infestans. Knowledge of how pathogens manipulate regulatory cross-talk governing resource allocation in plants will inform crop breeding efforts of the future; helping to maximise both yield and resistance to ensure food security as pressure on our agricultural systems increases.
