Project description:The root system is fundamental for maize growth and yield. The primary root system is the most important structure of maize seedlings and is the first organ that emerges at germination, providing water and nutrients for the growing seedlings. However, it is difficult to characterize them at single cell level, due to their complex and heterogeneous cell types. In this study, we profiled the transcriptomes of more than 7000 cells derived from maize root tips of seedlings grown on media with (nitrate+) or without nitrate (nitrate-).

Project description:Root hairs are an extensive structure of root epidermal cells and are critical for nutrient acquisition, soil anchorage, and environ- mental interactions in sessile plants. The phytohormone ethylene (ET) promotes root hair growth and also mediates the effects of different signals that stimulate hair cell development. However, the molecular basis of ET-induced root hair growth remains poorly understood. Here, we show that ET-activated transcription factor ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE 3 (EIN3) physically interacts with ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE 6 (RHD6), a well-documented positive regulator of hair cells, and that the two factors directly coactivate the hair length-determining gene RHD6-LIKE 4 (RSL4) to promote root hair elongation. Transcriptome analysis further revealed the parallel roles of the regulator pairs EIN3/EIL1 (EIN3-LIKE 1) and RHD6/ RSL1 (RHD6-LIKE 1). EIN3/EIL1 and RHD6/RSL1 coordinately en- hance root hair initiation by selectively regulating a subset of core root hair (H) genes. Thus, our work reveals a key transcriptional complex consisting of EIN3/EIL1 and RHD6/RSL1 in the control of root hair initiation and elongation, and provides a molecular framework for the integration of environmental signals and in- trinsic regulators in modulating plant organ development.

Project description:Plant growth regulators are the chemical substances that regulate growth and development in plants. The use of plant growth regulators on crops can adjust the balance of hormones and influence plant growth, thereby increasing crop yield and/or improving crop quality. Fubianliusuoyoumi (GZU001), a new potential plant growth regulator, significantly promoted root elongation in maize. However, an underlying potential mechanism is still unknown. To explore the response pathway and regulation mechanism of GZU001 in promoting maize root elongation, a combination of metabolomics and proteomics was used. In total, 101 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and 79 differentially expressed metabolites were identified. Our study found that four photosynthetic proteins (COPAQ4, P48183, B4FRH1, and A0A3L6EQ36) were significantly up-regulated, which can promote photosynthesis in maize.

Project description:Maize root responds to nitrate by modulating its development thorough the coordinated action of many players, interacting one each other. Among them, nitric oxide is produced in primary root of previously deprived seedlings early after the nitrate provision, thus inducing root elongation. In this study, a molecular untargeted approach was applied to discriminate the signaling and physiological pathways regulated by nitrate through nitric oxide from those regulated by nitrate itself of by further downstream factors. To this aim an RNA-sequencing approach was applied to discover the main molecular signatures distinguishing the response of maize root to nitrate according to their dependency, or independency on nitric oxide. A set of subsequent detailed functional annotation tools (Gene Ontology enrichment, MapMan, KEGG reconstruction pathway, transcription factors detection) were used to try to gain further information on the importance of this molecule in the regulation of the maize transcriptional response to nitrate. Besides, the lateral root density was measured both in the presence of nitrate and in the presence of nitrate plus cPTIO, a specific NO scavenger, and compared to that observed for N-depleted roots. Our results led to identify six clusters of transcripts according to their responsiveness to nitric oxide and to their regulation by nitrate provision. In general, common and specific features for the six clusters were identified allowing to discompose the overall root response to nitrate according to its dependency on nitric oxide.

Project description:Root exudates contain specialised metabolites that affect the plant’s root microbiome. How host-specific microbes cope with these bioactive compounds, and how this ability shapes root microbiomes, remains largely unknown. We investigated how maize root bacteria metabolise benzoxazinoids, the main specialised metabolites of maize. Diverse and abundant bacteria metabolised the major compound in the maize rhizosphere MBOA and formed AMPO. AMPO forming bacteria are enriched in the rhizosphere of benzoxazinoid-producing maize and can use MBOA as carbon source. We identified a novel gene cluster associated with AMPO formation in microbacteria. The first gene in this cluster, bxdA encodes a lactonase that converts MBOA to AMPO in vitro. A deletion mutant of the homologous bxdA genes in the genus Sphingobium, does not form AMPO nor is it able to use MBOA as a carbon source. BxdA was identified in different genera of maize root bacteria. Here we show that plant-specialised metabolites select for metabolisation-competent root bacteria. BxdA represents a novel benzoxazinoid metabolisation gene whose carriers successfully colonize the maize rhizosphere and thereby shape the plant’s chemical environmental footprint

Project description:Root exudates play an important role in plant-microbe interaction. The transcriptional profilings of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SQR9 in response to maize root exudates under static condition, were investigated by an Illumina RNA-seq for understanding the regulatory roles of the root exudates.

Project description:Low phosphate concentrations are frequently a constraint for maize growth and development, and therefore, enormous quantities of phosphate fertilizer are expended in maize cultivation, which increases the cost of planting. Low phosphate stress not only increases root biomass but can also cause significant changes in root morphology. Low phosphate availability has been found to favor lateral root growth over primary root growth by dramatically reducing primary root length and increasing lateral root elongation and lateral root density in Arabdopsis. While in our assay when inbred line Q319 subjected to phosphate starvation, The numbers of lateral roots and lateral root primordia were decreased after 6 days of culture in a low phosphate solution (LP) compared to plants grown under normal conditions (sufficient phosphate, SP), and these differences were increased associated with the stress caused by phosphate starvation. However, the growth of primary roots appeared not to be sensitive to low phosphate levels. This is very different to Arabidopsis. To elucidate how low phosphate levels regulate root modifications, especially lateral root development, a transcriptomic analysis of the 1.0-1.5 cm lateral root primordium zone (LRZ) of maize Q319 treated after 2 and 8 days by low phosphate was completed respectively. The present work utilized an Arizona Maize Oligonucleotide array 46K version slides, which contained 46,000 maize 70-mer oligonucleotides designated by TIGR ID, and the sequence information is available at the website of the Maize Oligonucleotide Array Project as the search item representing the >30,000 identifiable unique maize genes (details at http://www.maizearray.org).

Project description:One strategy for plants to adapt to low nitrogen (LN) stress is to reduce shoot growth and allocate more N and carbon for root growth. The physiological mechanism underlying the response of leaf growth to LN stress remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated cell division and elongation in maize leaf growth in response to LN stress using an integrated approach including kinematic growth analysis, tissue-specific RNA-seq dissection and hormone determination.
