Untargeted mutagenesis of brassinosteroid receptor SbBRI1 confers drought tolerance by altering phenylpropanoid metabolism in Sorghum bicolor

ABSTRACT: Drought is a critical issue in modern agriculture, therefore there is a need to create crops with drought resilience. The complexity of plant responses to abiotic stresses, particularly in the field of brassinosteroid (BR) signaling, has been the subject of extensive research. In this study, we unveil compelling insights indicating that the BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1) receptor in Arabidopsis and Sorghum plays a critical role as a negative regulator of drought responses. Introducing untargeted mutation in the sorghum BRI1 receptor (SbBRI1) effectively enhances the plant ability to withstand osmotic and drought stress. Through DNA Affinity Purification sequencing (DAP-Seq) we show that the sorghum BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR 1 (SbBES1) transcription factor, a downstream player of the BR signaling, binds to a conserved G-box binding motif, and it is responsible for regulating BR homeostasis, as its Arabidopsis ortholog AtBES1. We further characterized the drought tolerance of sorghum bri1 mutants and decipher SbBES1-mediated regulation of phenylpropanoid pathway. Our findings suggest that SbBRI1 signaling serves as a dual purpose: under normal conditions, it regulates lignin biosynthesis by SbBES1, but during drought conditions, BES1 becomes less active, allowing the activation of the flavonoid pathway. This adaptive shift improves the photosynthetic rate and photoprotection, reinforcing crop adaptation to drought.

Transcriptomic profiling of CRISPR/Cas9-generated mutant of Marchantial polymorpha BES1 transcription factor (Mpbes1)

Project description:Brassinosteroid hormones are essential for growth and development in seed plants. In Arabidopsis, transcriptional factors from the AtBES1 (BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR1)/AtBZR1 (BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1) family, are main regulators of steroid phytohormone Brassinosteroids, which finely coordinate gene expression. While genome sequence analysis in Marchantia polymorpha failed to identify BR receptors homologues to the BRI1-family, a homologue of downstream BR-regulated BES1/BZR1 transcription factors is present. Here, we decipher the biological function of MpBES1 in liverwort. Mpbes1 knock out plants have impaired thallus development, pointing up the conservation of BES1 function in organ development. RNAseq analysis of Mpbes1 reveals a prominent deregulation of oxidation processes, responses to stress and carbohydrate metabolism. Furthermore, in the Arabidopsis orthologs of Mpbes1 deregulated genes, described targets of AtBES1/BZR1 are overrepresented, suggesting a major conservation in the signaling module. In conclusion, this study unravels the origin of BES1/BZR1 family of transcriptional factors in plant cell division.

The AP2/ERF Transcription Factor TINY Modulates Brassinosteroid-Regulated Plant Growth and Drought Response in Arabidopsis

Project description:The functions of AP2/ERF family transcription factors in stress responses are well documented, but their roles in the brassinosteroid (BR)-regulated growth and stress responses have not been established. Here we show that stress-inducible AP2/ERF family transcription factor TINY inhibits BR-regulated growth while promoting drought response. TINY overexpression plants have stunted growth, increased sensitivity to BR biosynthesis inhibitors and compromised BR-responsive gene expression. In contrast, a tiny tiny2 tiny3 triple mutant has increased BR-regulated growth and BR-responsive gene expression. TINY positively regulates drought response by activating drought responsive genes and promoting abscisic acid-mediated stomatal closure. Global gene expression studies revealed that TINY and BRs oppositely regulate genes involved in plant growth and stress response. TINY interacts with and antagonizes BES1 in the regulation of these genes. The GSK3-like protein kinase BIN2, a negative regulator in the BR pathway, phosphorylates and stabilizes TINY, providing a mechanism for BR-mediated down-regulation of TINY to prevent activation of stress response under optimal growth conditions. Taken together, our results demonstrate that TINY is negatively regulated by BR signaling through BIN2 phosphorylation and positively regulates drought response, as well as inhibits BR-mediated plant growth through TINY-BES1 antagonistic interactions. Our results thus provide insight into the coordination of BR-regulated growth and drought responses.

miR394 and its target gene modulate BR signaling to regulate hypocotyls elongation in Arabidopsis

Project description:MicroRNAs and phytophormes are all small molecular signals that play important roles in regulating development and environmental responses in plants. The interplay between them allow the plants to better converge multiple inner and outer signals to optimizing their survival strategy. So far, the knowledge of how miRNAs are involved in brassinosteroid (BR) signaling is lacking. Here, we report the finding of miR394 and its target gene LEAF CURLING RESPONSENESS (LCR), which were transcriptionally responsive to BR, participate in BR signaling in regulating hypocotyls elongation in Arabidopsis. By phenotypic analyzing of a set of transgenic and mutants, miR394 was found to act as a negative regulator in BR signaling in hypocotyls elongation, while its target gene on the contrary. Genetically, miR394 functions upstream of BIN2 and BZR1/BES1, but partially downstream or independent with BRI1 and BSU1. RNA-seq analysis further supports that miR394 inhibits BR signaling through BIN2 because miR394 co-regulate significant number of genes together with BIN2. Additionally, miR394 improved the accumulation of BIN2 but decreased the protein amount of BZR1 and BES1, which can be phosphorylated by BIN2. miR394 also repressed the transcription of PRE1/5/6 and EXP8, the key hypocotyls elongation regulating genes, which had been reported to be BZR1/BES1 targets. These findings revealed a new pathway that miRNA involved in BR signaling in Arabidopsis.

Expression data from dark-grown BR double mutant bzr1-1D;bri1-116, single mutant bri1-116, and wildtype

Project description:Molecular genetic analyses support a central role of BZR1 in Brassinosteroid (BR) regulation of plant development. The dominant bzr1-1D mutation, which stabilizes the BZR1 protein, completely suppresses the de-etiolated phenotype of the null bri1-116 mutant grown in the dark. Using microarray analysis, we identified genes differentially expressed in bri1-116 compared to wild type and genes differentially expressed in the bzr1-1D;bri1-116 double mutant compared to the bri1-116 single mutant. Consistent with the phenotypic suppression of bri1-116 by bzr1-1D, about 80% of the genes affected in bri1-116 were affected oppositely by bzr1-1D

RAV1 and BES1 mutually inhibit each other’s expression and oppositely co-regulate the genes for growth and defense in Arabidopsis

Project description:RAV1 (RELATED TO ABI3/VP1) is a plant-specific B3 domain and AP2 domain-containing transcription factor and acts as a negative regulator of growth in many plant species. Expression of the RAV1 was down-regulated by BR, and through the large-scale transcriptome analyses its expression was previously shown to be targeted by BES1 and BZR1 that are critical transcription factors for BR-signaling process. Using the RAV1-overexpressing transgenic plants, here we showed that RAV1 overexpression reduced BR signaling capacity, resulting in the up-regulation of BR biosynthetic genes and down regulation of BES1 expression. Furthermore, we demonstrated that BES1, not BZR1, directly bound to the RAV1 promoter and repressed RAV1 expression, and vice versa, RAV1 also bound to the BES1 promoter and repressed BES1 expression. This mutual inhibition was specific to between RAV1 and BES1, because RAV1 showed binding activity to BZR1 promoter but did not repressed BZR1 expression. To validate this mutual inhibition of RAV1 and BES1, we generated transgenic bes1-D plants overexpressing RAV1 and observed that constitutively activated BR-signaling phenotypes in bes1-D were attenuated due to the repression of endogenous BES1 expression. To investigate transcriptomic expressional changes that are regulated by RAV1 and BES1, we performed RNA-sequencing analysis from RAV1-overexpressing transgenic plants and bes1-D mutant plant. We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by RAV1 and BES1, respectively, as well as the genes that are oppositely co-regulated by RAV1 and BES1. And we found that RAV1 and BES1 regulate different transcriptome but co-regulate a specific set of genes that are responsible for the balance between growth and defense. Taken together, these results suggested that mutual inhibitory transcriptional activities of the RAV1 and BES1 provide fine regulatory mechanisms for plants growth and development mediated by BR signaling.

BAF1 and Brassinosteroid related mutant in Arabidopsis

Project description:Brassinosteroids (BRs) regulate plant growth, development and stress responses by activating the core transcription factor BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR1 (BES1). The E3 Ubiquitin ligase(s) that modify BES1 for autophagy-mediated degradation remain to be fully defined. In this study, we identified an F-box family E3 ubiquitin ligase termed BES1-ASSOCIATED F-BOX1 (BAF1). BAF1 interacts with and ubiquitinates BES1. Accordingly, BES1 stability and protein levels were reduced in BAF1 overexpression plants but increased in a baf1 loss-of-function mutant and in BAF1-DF (BAF1 with F-box deleted, dominant-negative form) overexpression lines. Selective autophagy of BES1, but not bulk autophagy, was significantly compromised in the baf1 mutant under sucrose starvation. BES1 degradation mediated by BAF1 could be blocked through autophagy but not proteasome inhibitors, suggesting that BAF1 mediates BES1 degradation largely through autophagy. baf1 and BAF1-DF overexpression plants had increased BR-regulated growth but were sensitive to long-term sucrose starvation, while BAF1 overexpression plants had decreased BR-regulated growth but were highly tolerant of sucrose starvation. Our results not only established BAF1 as a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets BES1 for degradation through selective autophagy pathway, but also revealed a mechanism for plants to reduce growth during sucrose starvation by targeting this central growth regulator.

Microtubule-associated CLASP balances brassinosteroid signaling through negative feedback to sustain plant cell proliferation

Project description:The capacity for sustained cell division is a critical determinant of plant meristem development, and ultimately, organ size. This capacity is diminished in mutants lacking the microtubule-associated protein CLASP, and when brassinosteroid signaling is increased. Here, we discovered that CLASP is both targeted by and promotes activity of the brassinosteroid pathway in Arabidopsis root apical meristems. We show that enhanced brassinosteroid signalling reduces CLASP transcript and protein levels, and dramatically shifts microtubule organization to promote exit from the cell division cycle. Notably, CLASP sustains brassinosteroid signalling by fostering retrieval of endocytosed BRI1 receptors to the plasma membrane through the tethering of SNX1 vesicles to microtubules. clasp-1 null mutants have fewer BRI1 receptors, and impaired BR-mediated transcriptional activity and responses. Global transcript profiling confirmed the collapse of cell cycle activity in clasp-1 and revealed hormone crosstalk. Together, these findings reveal an unprecedented form of negative feedback that supports meristem homeostasis.

Induced variation in BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1) confers a compact wheat architecture

Project description:The brassinosteroid (BR) plant hormones regulate numerous developmental processes, including those determining stem height, leaf angle, and grain size that have agronomic relevance in cereals. Indeed, barley (Hordeum vulgare) varieties containing uzu alleles that impair BR perception through mutations in the BR receptor BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1) exhibit a semi-dwarf growth habit and more upright leaves suitable for high-density planting. We used forward and reverse genetic approaches to develop novel BRI1 alleles in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and investigated their potential for crop improvement. The combination of ethyl methanesulfonate-induced mutations introducing premature stop codons in all three homoeologous TaBRI1 genes resulted in severe dwarfism, malformed leaves and sterility as observed in bri1 mutants in other species. Double mutants had reduced flag leaf angles (FLAs) conferring a more upright canopy but exhibited no differences in height or grain weight. In a forward genetics screen using a double mutant, we identified two BR-insensitive lines with reduced height and FLA that contained amino acid substitutions in conserved regions of BRI-A1. The less severe mutant had a 56% reduction in FLA and was 35% shorter than the wild-type although seed set, seed area and grain weights were also reduced. The most severe mutants contained elevated levels of bioactive BRs and increased expression of BR-biosynthesis genes consistent with reduced feedback suppression of biosynthesis. Our study gives a better understanding of BRI1 function in wheat and provides mutants that could potentially be explored for improving grain yields when sown at high density.

Transcriptomic and ChIP-Seq analyses reveal an important role for the ABI4 during BR response in Arabidopsis

Project description:Brassinosteroids (BRs) are growth-promoting steroid hormones in plants. BRs affect plant growth by regulating panels of downstream genes. Much effort has been made to establish BR-regulated gene expression networks, but these published expression networks poorly overlap. To address this, here we build an optimal BR-regulated gene expression network. 7- and 24-day-old seedlings of constitutive photomorphogenesis and dwarfism (cpd) mutant and bri1-701 (brassinosteroid-insensitive 1) brl1 (BRI1-like receptor genes 1) brl3 (BRI1-like receptor genes 3) triple mutant seedlings were treated with brassinolide (BL), and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs). By this approach, we generated a transcriptomic database of 4498 DEGs and identified 110 transcription factors specifically respond to BR at different stage. Moreover, we found that among the identified BR-responsive transcription factors, ABSCISIC ACID-INSENSlTIVE4 (ABI4), an ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factor, inhibits BR-regulated growth. Compared to wild-type plants, the abi4-102 mutant was less sensitive to brassinazole (BRZ) and more sensitive to BR. Next, we performed a chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) assay and found that ABI4 directly binds to the BAK1 (BRI1 Associated receptor Kinase 1) promoter and inhibits transcription. These results provide new insights into BR-responsive gene functions in regulating plant growth at different stages and may serve as a basis for predicting gene function, selecting candidate genes, and improving the understanding of BR regulatory pathways.
