Project description:External application of acetic acid has been recently reported to enhance the survival to drought in plants such as Arabidopsis, rapeseed, maize, rice and wheat, but the effects of acetic acid application on increased drought tolerance in woody plants such as a tropical crop “cassava” remain elusive. A molecular understanding of acetic acid-induced drought avoidance in cassava will contribute to the development of technology that can be used to enhance drought tolerance without resorting to transgenic technology or advancements in cassava cultivation. In the present study, morphological, physiological and molecular responses to drought were analyzed in cassava after the treatment with acetic acid. Results indicated that the acetic acid-treated cassava plants had a higher level of drought avoidance than water-treated, control plants. Specifically, higher leaf relative water content, and chlorophyll and carotenoid levels were observed as soils dried out during the drought treatment. Leaf temperatures in acetic acid-treated cassava plants were higher relative to leaves on plants pretreated with water and the increase of ABA content was observed in leaves of acetic acid-treated plants, suggesting that stomatal conductance and the transpiration rate in leaves of acetic acid-treated plants decreased to maintain relative water contents and avoid drought. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the acetic acid treatment increased the expression of ABA signaling-related genes, such as OPEN STOMATA 1 (OST1) and protein phosphatase 2C; as well as drought response and tolerance-related genes, such as outer membrane tryptophan-rich sensory protein (TSPO), and heat shock proteins. Collectively, the external application of acetic acid enhances drought avoidance in cassava through the upregulation of ABA signaling pathway genes and several stress response- and tolerance-related genes. These data support the idea that adjustments of the acetic acid application to plants is useful to enhance drought tolerance in order to minimize the growth inhibition in the agricultural field.

Project description:Cuttings from Razegui cultivar were cultivated in sand for 2 months according to the method we have described previously (Azri et al. 2020). Then grapevine plantlets were further grown in pots containing sand/peat mixture (2/1, v/v), in a controlled greenhouse (16 h light/8 h dark at PAR 300 μmol m-2 s-1 photoperiod, 24 °C day/20 °C night temperature and 65-75% relative humidity). They were watered daily with tap water and supplemented once a week with 100 mL of Gibeaut’s nutrient solution (Gibeaut et al. 1997). Drought stress was applied according to our previously described procedure (Azri et al. 2020): plants with 10-15 leaves were either irrigated daily with water (control) or non-irrigated at all (water deficit). After 4 time points (day 0, 4, 8 and 16) of water deficit, the 4th fully-developed leaf was harvested and used for physiological analyses. Three independent biological experiments were performed consisting each in 2 treatments (control and water deficit) and 3 plants per time point and treatment. Proteomic analysis was performed on the 5th fully developed leaves at the time point 16 days of drought treatment. Irrigated and non-irrigated leaves were harvested immediately in liquid nitrogen and stored at - 80 °C until analysis. Three biological replicates were carried out for each treatment.

Project description:Stress-induced leaf senescence could be delayed in transgenic plants expressing isopentenyltransferase (IPT), an enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in CK synthesis under the control of SARK, a maturation- and stress-inducible promoter (Rivero et al., 2007). Increased CK production resulted in enhanced drought tolerance of the transgenic PSARK::IPT plants, with minimal yield loss (Rivero et al., 2007). We have used a large-scale expression profiling approach to investigate the effects of PSARK::IPT on gene expression to elucidate the molecular events associated with the CK-induced drought tolerance displayed by the PSARK::IPT plants. We used tomato genechips to capture the differential transcriptional responses of WT and PSARK::IPT plants under control and water stress conditions

Project description:In rice, gene expression profiling under different stresses have been carried out earlier through microarrays and SAGE (Kawasaki et al., 2001; Rabbani et al., 2003,;. Yazaki et al., 2003, 2004; Walia et al., 2005; Zhou et al., 2005; Jiao et al., 2005; Zhou, 2007; Wang, et al., 2007)). The results reported so far were mostly derived from different stress treatments, array formats, species, tissue types, and time courses, which make it difficult for direct comparison among studies. Also, most of the stress experiments on expression profiles were conducted under laboratory, growth chamber or field grown plants subjected to stress in laboratory conditions, usually by inducing stress with exogenous compounds such as abscisic acid (ABA) or gibberellin (GA) genes (Yazaki et al., 2003, 2004; Rabbani et al., 2003), salt (Kawasaki et al., 2001; Rabbani et al., 2003; Walia et al., 2005), organ specific gene expression under high salinity (Jiao et al., 2005) and drought (Zhou et al., 2007), comparison with different cultivars (Wang et al., 2007) and other environmental stresses such as cold and drought (Rabbani et al., 2003; Zhou et al., 2005). However, such laboratory, growth chamber grown plants or field grown plants subjected to stress under laboratory conditions significantly differ from the field stress conditions and therefore the resultant plant response may not truly represent the actual stress conditions prevailing on field. This has been extensively reviewed by Mittler, 2006 and the need for utilizing data from multiple stress experiments for developing plants resistant to stress has been focused. The review also focuses on evaluating farmers experiences in stress management and kinds of stress that a plant is subjected prior to taking up research on stress resistances has been of significant importance. In the present study, to bridge the gap between the available data on drought stress and the gene regulation under field drought conditions has been paid attention. The outcome of this data will give new leads for breeders to design strategies to develop plants resistant to drought without much loss in yield. In the present study experiments were conducted under different field capacities using a rainout shelter to minimizing the effects of drought induction due to rains. The microarray analysis is thus expected to throw light on stress responsive gene expression in field drought conditions. Till now, to our knowledge there have been no reports on gene expression in rice under field drought conditions. Further, there is no data available on gene expression profiling during various stages of plant growth in leaf and panicle tissues under different levels of water stress. Here, we have focused on generating stress responsive gene (SRG) expression profiles in field drought conditions through the entire life cycle of rice plant. Optimal drought simulation was achieved by conducting a drought stress experiment and validated by a series of dry runs. The main reason for evaluating gene expression under drought in field condition is as drought itself is not limited to water stress but various other factors, such as heat, humidity, hot winds, and long day lengths effect the gene regulation. All these are likely to trigger common pathways that are also a part of drought stress response and therefore significantly affect the expression profiles. In the present study, field drought stress was initiated from 31 days after germination and transplantation to the field at 100%, 60%, 40% and 15% field capacities designated as A1, A2, A3, and A4. It took 7 days for the onset of the actual drought for the experimental plots to reach to their designated field capacities from 100% FC. Samples were collected from 7 days after drought stress to 33 days after drought stress to evaluate different drought stress regimes based on the developmental stages of the plant. At all the tested stress levels the data points were Hierarchically grouped and clustered sets of genes were examined and an approximate number of clusters to be formed were estimated. Finding a group of genes showing a similar pattern of gene expression by means of expression data from microarray analysis is the basis for identification of genes and pathways controlling a specific trait. We have followed unsupervised classification and clustered the genes hierarchically after normalizing expression data to obtain a set of co-regulated genes. Analysis of data revealed that there are at least 3 to 4 clusters which show differential regulation under each stress regime. The annotated genes falling in these clusters interestingly include a number of novel genes from N22 library along with some known candidate genes for drought tolerance which were earlier identified in our study (Markandeya et al., 2007). Expression pattern of these genes from 7 days after drought stress to 33 days after drought stress with their fold changes were evaluated in the present study. In particular, it is observed that many genes of unknown function are also co-regulated in an interesting pattern along with known genes.

Project description:affy_strigolactone_sunflower - affy_strigolactone_sunflower - Abiotic stress and more specifically drought is the major limiting factor for sunflower production. Sunflower response to drought includes root plasticity to adapt to water availability and reach soil water. We identified genotype-specific responses of root architecture to strigolactone application. This experiment aims at identifying strigolactone responsive pathways in 6 genotypes in order to better understand molecular control of root development in sunflower and therefore its response to drought. The ultimate goal will be to improve sunflower breeding through selection of key drought response genes.-The experiment consisted of 2 repeats of four 12-day-old-plantlets of 6 sunflower genotype SF193 (INRA code: XRQ), SF326 (INRA code: PSC8), SF056 (INRA code: FU), SF306 (INRA code: PAZ2), SF302 (INRA code: PAC2), SF268 (INRA code: RHA266), grown in growth chamber conditions and submitted to a 24-hour-treatment of 100 nM strigolactone analogue rac-GR24 (Chiralix, Nijmegen, Netherland) or not. Growth conditions were 14h light at 23°C and 10h night at 20°C under fluorescent bulbs. Plants were grown in hydroponic boxes containing 20 litres of aerated liquid culture medium (as described in Massonneau et al., 2001 Planta). The entire root systems were harvested 4 hours after light onset and frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen.

Project description:Six months old seed grown under well-watered greenhouse conditions were used in the current study. The seedlings of the two wild emmer wheat genotypes were vernalized on a moist germination paper (Hofman Manufacturing, Inc, Jefferson, OR, USA) for three weeks in the dark at 4oC, followed by three days acclimation at 24oC. Seedlings were then transplanted into 5L pots containing a mixture of pure quartz sand and peat (4:1 v/v), supplemented with a slow release fertilizer (2 g/L, Osmocote® Standard 14-14-14, Scotts-Sierra Horticulture, Marysville, OH, USA) and by a weekly application of 100 ml/pot of 0.5X Murashigi and Skoog growth solution (Sigma Chemical Co., St Louis, MO, USA). Pots were placed in a screen-house under natural winter conditions (December to February; 5-18°C) in Haifa, Israel (Mt. Carmel; 35o01′ E, 32o45′ N; 480 m above sea level) for 10 weeks and irrigated daily by a drip irrigation system. Three weeks prior to application of terminal drought stress, the pots were transferred to a controlled environment greenhouse (22/18 oC; 12 h day/12 h night) in order to prevent rainfall during the drought experiment. Five pots per genotype served as biological replicates, plants of three pots of each genotype/treatment were used for transcriptome study whereas two additional pots were used for quantitative PCR analysis (altogether five biological replicated of were used for quantitative real time PCR). Three individual plants were grown in each pot, one plant was used for measurements of leaf relative water content (RWC) (Barrs and Weatherley 1968), whereas the other two plants were used for sampling of flag leaf tissue for RNA extraction. Terminal drought stress (D) was applied at inflorescence emergence stage (Zadoks 50-60), (Zadoks et al. 1974), after emergence of 1-2 spikes in all biological replicates of both genotypes. The time from transplanting to inflorescence emergence stage was not significantly different between genotypes (70 days in the S genotype and 72 days in the R genotype). Drought stress application initiated after irrigation with excess amount of water in order to assure that all pots start the experiment at the same soil water capacity. Drought stress was imposed by withholding water for eight days until stress symptoms (i.e. leaf rolling and wilting symptoms) were visible in plants of both genotypes. Stress symptoms were more visible in the S genotype, however, leaf relative water content (RWC), measured after eight days of drought stress was low but was not significantly different between the two genotypes (49.68%±1.48 in the R genotype and 53.34%±1.83 in the S genotype). The well-watered control (C) plants were irrigated daily by ample amount of water. Flag leaf tissues of drought-stressed plants and well-watered control plants were harvested, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80ºC for RNA extraction. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Krugman Tamar.

Project description:Plant material consisted of synthetic hexaploid wheat germplasm into the Opata background (Altar 84/ Aegilops squarrosa (TAUS)//Opata) . Plants were grown at a density of 9-11 individuals per 20cm x 10cm (diameter x height) plastic pot containing 1500g well-rinsed Turface MVP® medium (Profile Products LLC, Buffalo, IL), in controlled environment chambers at 23°C, 70% relative humidity, and 16h photoperiod with a photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) of 330±10 µmolem-2s-1 when measured at the top of the canopy at growth stage 22 to 24 in the Zadoks scale (Zadoks et al., 1974). Plants were watered daily until 21 days after seeding (DAS) by flooding trays with water for 5 minutes, then draining the trays. Drought stress was applied by water withholding, beginning on 21 DAS. Watering was withheld from plants belonging to drought treatment, while the control group received water above field capacity. Water content of the growth medium was gravimetrically monitored. Root tissues were collected from control and treated plants when the water content of the treatment group growth medium fell below the permanent wilting point. Three biological replicates were conducted in three separate time-span courses. Total RNA was isolated using a LiCl3 precipitation method following Moore et al., (2005). Dye swap desin microarray analyses of well-watered and water-stressed root tissues were conducted across three biological replicates totaling six hybridizations.

Project description:We sought to generate a comprehensive proteomic profile for a Populus plant that captures protein abundance behavioral differences in mature leaves under various water deficit conditions. The sudden infliction of severe drought is unlikely to reflect what naturally happens to soil-grown plants. Therefore, rather than exposing plants to severe dehydration via the application of concentrated osmotica (e.g., polyethylene glycol or mannitol), we aimed to monitor plants exposed to prolonged drought as well as plants frequently experiencing cyclic drought. For the progressive drought experiment, herein referred to as acute drought, water will be withheld from the plants for a certain period of time until symptoms of wilting are observed. From this drought treatment, protein abundance changes that occur because of declining water potentials that consequently lead to worsening plant health will provide new insights to biological pathways in response to severe drought conditions. On the other hand, as a consequence of simulating a more natural condition, the cyclic drought treatment will provide novel insights into drought recovery and coping mechanisms. As first noted in a meta-analysis of microarray experiments comparing different water deficit-related treatments3, one consequence of analyzing multiple treatment conditions is that we expect only a few differentially abundant proteins to be common to both treatments. Therefore, we implemented a bioinformatic framework to provide an overall integrative picture of the conserved drought markers but also meaningful divergences in functional behavioral responses between the two experiments.
