Genome-wide analysis of VlbZIP30-targeted genes involved in drought responses in grapevine (Vitis vinifera)

ABSTRACT: Drought stress dramatically affects the growth and development of grapevine (Vitis vinifera) in many areas of the world, and identifying the mechanisms responsible for drought stress responses is therefore of great interest. The transcription factor, VlbZIP30 has been reported to enhance drought resistance in grapevine, however, the regulatory mechanisms mediated by VlbZIP30 remain poorly understood. Here, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq and RNA-seq analyses to identify the direct VlbZIP30 target genes at a genome-wide scale. The ChIP-seq analysis determined that VlbZIP30 binds to DNA sequences containing an ACGTG core motif, termed a G-box. By combining the ChIP-seq and RNA-seq results, we identified 48 VlbZIP30-induced target genes, related mainly to the gene ontology (GO) terms: nucleic acid-templated transcription, plant hormone and abiotic stimulus. Through ChIP-qPCR analysis, we confirmed that VlbZIP30 binds directly to the promoters of four of the target genes (VvNAC26, VvDHN1, VvGRAS17 and VvVQ6) containing a G-box motif. In addition, overexpression of VlbZIP30 led to less H2O2 accumulation compared with the wild type under drought conditions in both Arabidopsis thaliana and grapevine, indicating a role for VlbZIP30 in reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging. In summary, we report that VlbZIP30 promotes the activity of ROS scavenging by directly regulating the expression of downstream target genes, thereby conferring drought resistance. We also reveal that VlbZIP30 directly regulates the expression of a number of target genes (such as VvDHN1, VvGRAS17 and VvVQ6) to improve plant drought resistance.

Project description:To discover new mutants conferring enhanced tolerance to drought stress, we screened a mutagenized rice (O. sativa) population (cv. IAPAR9) and identified a mutant, named idr1-1 (for increased drought resistance 1-1), with obviously increased drought tolerance under upland field conditions. The idr1-1 mutant possessed a significantly enhanced ability to tolerate high-drought stresses. Map-based cloning revealed that the gene LOC_Os05g26890 (corresponding to D1 or RGA1 gene), residing in the mapping region of IDR1 locus, carried a single-base deletion in idr1-1 mutant. IDR1 protein was localized in nucleus and to plasma membrane or cell periphery. Further investigations indicated that the significantly increased drought tolerance in idr1-1 mutant stemmed from a range of physiological and morphological changes, including greater leaf potentials, increased proline contents, heightened leaf thickness, and upregulation of antioxidant-synthesizing and drought-induced genes, etc., under drought-stressed conditions. Especially, ROS production might be remarkably impaired, while ROS-scavenging ability appeared to be markedly enhanced as a result of significantly elevated expression of ROS-scavenging enzyme genes in idr1-1 mutant under drought-stressed conditions. Besides, idr1-1 mutant showed reduced expression of OsBRD1. Altogether, these results suggest that mutation of IDR1 leads to alterations of multiple layers of regulations, which ultimately confers obviously enhanced drought tolerance to the idr1-1 mutant.localized in nucleus and to plasma membrane or cell periphery.
