Adventitious root development P. contorta

ABSTRACT: After four weeks the primary roots were cut off from the seedlings. The hypocotyl cuttings were treated in Hoagland nutrient solution at pH 5.8 containing 1.23 mM indole-3-butyric acid(IBA) for six hours then transferred to Hoagland nutrient solution lacking IBA. The hypocotyls were harvested at the following time points: day o,3,6,9,12 and 33. Keywords: time-course

Project description:The loss of rooting capability following the transition from the juvenile to the mature phase is a known phenomenon in woody plant development. Eucalyptus grandis was used here as a model system to study the differences in gene expression between juvenile and mature cuttings. RNA was prepared from the base of the two types of cuttings before root induction and hybridized to a DNA microarray of E. grandis. In juvenile cuttings, 363 transcripts were specifically upregulated, enriched in enzymes of oxidation/reduction processes. In contrast, in mature cuttings, 245 transcripts were specifically upregulated, enriched in transcription factors involved in the regulation of secondary metabolites. A gene encoding for nitrate reductase (NIA), an enzyme that is known to be involved in nitric oxide (NO) production, was among the genes that were upregulated in juvenile cuttings. Concomitantly, a transient burst of NO upon excision was higher in juvenile cuttings than in mature ones. Treatment with a NO donor improved rooting of both juvenile and mature cuttings. A single NIA gene was found in the newly released E. grandis genome sequence, the cDNA of which was isolated, overexpressed in Arabidopsis plants and shown to increase NO production. Therefore, higher levels of NIA in E. grandis juvenile cuttings might lead to their better ability to produce NO and form adventitious roots. The Arabidopsis transgenic plants did not exhibit significantly increased lateral or adventitious roots, suggesting that spatial and temporal rather than a constitutive increase in NO is favorable for root formation. E. grandis seedlings were grown from seeds to the age of 6-7 months. The seedlings were pruned either at 10-15 cm or at 150-200 cm above the ground. The newly developed shoots were used as cuttings. To induce rooting, auxin (6000 ppm of K-IBA), was applied by quick dipping (20 sec). Stem cuttings taken from low-pruned seedlings were found to be easy-to root, exhibiting 45% rooting after 14 days and 60% after 35 days. These cuttings were defined as juvenile (RNA from two biological replicates was extracted). In contrast, stem cuttings taken from high pruned seedlings, barely rooted (5%) after 35 days, and were defined as mature (RNA from two biological replicates was extracted). The two biological replicates was used to dye swap experimental design.

Project description:To evaluate the transcriptome response of roots towards Hoagland solution of two-year-old healthy (C) and HLB-affected (T) sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.) cultivar Midsweet grafted on Kuharskei Carrizo rootstock at three different time points; D1 (at the start of the experiment), D2 (After 3 days of Hoagland solution), D3 (After nine days of Hoagland solution), were performed using RNA sequencing analysis. A total of 9, 19, and 2324 DEGs were expressed in HLB-affected and healthy trees feeder roots on D1, D2, and D3, respectively. Due to a small number of DEGs in HLB-affected and healthy trees roots on D1 and D2, enrichment analysis could not be performed. At D3, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was performed using upregulated and downregulated DEGs in HLB-affected roots compared to healthy roots. For the upregulated DEGs in HLB-affected roots, the most enriched biological GO categories were related to transport, cellular amino acid metabolic process, oxoacid metabolic process, organic acid metabolic processes, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis process, response to carbohydrate stimulus, ethylene and the jasmonic acid-mediated signaling pathway, and regulation of plant hormone. The biological GO categories based on the number of DEGs associated with downregulated DEGs were the developmental process, phosphate metabolic process, protein modification process, defense response, growth, cell cycle, cell death, and ABA-mediated signaling pathway. The results of this study strongly suggest; although, the reduced biomass limits the nutrient uptake capacity in the plants as a whole, so in order to compensate for reduced root to shoot ratio the existing root undergo anatomical and transcriptomic changes to improve nutrient uptake efficiency to meet the nutrient demand of shoot systems. It is likely that higher inputs of energy in nutrient uptake possibly results in reducing the root longevity of HLB-affected trees. Good nutrition management practices are critical for the survival of HLB-affected trees as the availability and uptake of nutrients allow HLB-affected trees in response to abiotic and biotic stress.
