Root-specific secondary metabolism at the single-cell level: a case study of theanine metabolism and regulation in the roots of tea plants (Camellia sinensis)

ABSTRACT: Root-synthesized secondary metabolites are critical quality-conferring compounds of foods, plant-derived medicines, and beverages. However, information at a single-cell level on root-specific secondary metabolism remains largely unexplored. L-theanine, an important quality component of tea, is primarily synthesized in roots, from which it is then transported to new tea shoots. In this study, we present a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)-derived map for the tea plant root, which enabled cell-type-specific analysis of glutamate and ethylamine (two precursors of theanine biosynthesis) metabolism, and theanine biosynthesis, storage, and transport. Our findings support a model in which the theanine biosynthesis pathway occurs via multicellular compartmentation and does not require high co-expression levels of transcription factors and their target genes within the same cell cluster. This study provides novel insights into theanine metabolism and regulation, at the single-cell level, and offers an example for studying root-specific secondary metabolism in other plant systems.

Shading Effects on Leaf Color Conversion and Biosynthesis of Three Major Secondary Metabolites in the Albino Tea Cultivar ‘Yujinxiang’

Project description:An increasing amount of evidence attest that the tea made by albino tea cultivars processes characteristic aroma and taste, which has been considered as a new potential product in the market. Therefore, flavor formation mechanism of albino tea cultivars have drawn exceeding attention from researchers. In this study, transcriptome, metabolomics, and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) were employed to investigate shading effects on leaf color conversion and biosynthesis of three major secondary metabolites in the Albino tea cultivar ‘Yujinxiang’. The increase of leaf chlorophyll level is the major cause of shaded leaf greening from young pale or yellow leaf. Transcriptome analysis showed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) mainly participated in biosynthesis of amino acids, phenylalanine metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, sulfur metabolism, purine metabolism, and pentose and glucuronate interconversions in shading period compared with control group. The result of metabolomics indicated the total catechins level of shading group was significantly decreased than the control; however, the abundance of caffeine was markedly increased, and theanine level was nearly not influenced. Whole-genome DNA methylation analysis revealed that the global genomic DNA methylation patterns of shading period were remarkably altered compared with the control. Furthermore, differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and the DMR-related DEGs between shading and non-shading analysis indicated the DMR-related DEGs were the critical participants in biosynthesis of three major secondary metabolites. To sum up, these findings suggested that the altered levels of DNA methylation may be the main cause for biosynthesis changes of three major secondary metabolites in ‘Yujinxiang’.

Investigating the Relationships between Hormones and Critical Substances in Tea Leaves During Withering

Project description:To investigate the relationships between hormones and critical components in tea leaves during withering process, we detected the alterations of abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonic acid (JA), catechins, theanine, and caffeine in tea leaves withered at different time points from 0 to 24 hours. The content of ABA increased from 0h to 9h and decreased thereafter and JA content continuous increased, however, SA content was no significantly changes during withering process. Except for gallocatechin (GC) and epicatechin (EC), the contents of other critical components were significantly reduced at 24h. Transcriptome analysis shown that compared with 0h, a total of 2,256, 3,654, and 1,275 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified at 9h, 15h, and 24h, respectively. The pathways of“Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis”, and “Phenylalanine metabolism” involved in biosynthesis of catechins were enriched significantly with DEGs of all comparisons. Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) of co-expression genes indicated that many of modules were correlated with a specific trait only, however, the darkolivegreen module were correlated with two traits ABA and theanine during withering process. Our study indicates that withering induced dramatic alteration of the gene transcription, hormones (ABA, JA, and SA) and important components, and ABA may regulate theanine matebolism during this process.

Key genes during ethylene-induced adventitious root development in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Project description:Our previous studies have shown that exogenous ethylene (ETH) may induce plant adventitious root development in cucumber. In this study, transcriptome technique was used to explore the key genes in ETH-induced rooting. The results revealed that ETH regulated 1415 diferentially expressed genes (DEGs) during rooting, among which 687 DEGs were up-regulated and 728 DEGs were down-regulated. According to Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, the critical pathways involved in ETH-induced adventitious root development were selected for further study, including carbon metabolism [starch and sucrose metabolism, glycolysis / gluconeogenesis, citrate cycle (TCA cycle), oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation], secondary metabolite biosynthesis (phenylalanine metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis) and plant hormone signal transduction. In carbon metabolism, ETH reduced t the expression of CsHK2, CsPK2 and CsCYP86A1, whereas enhanced the expression of CsBAM1 and CsBAM3. Moreover, ETH negatively regulated the transcript level of CsPAL and CsF3’M and positively mediated that of CsPAO in secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathway. Additionally, ETH could induce adventitious rooting by negatively regulating auxin and ETH signal transduction-related genes (CsLAX5, CsGH3.17, CsSUAR50 and CsERS) and positively regulating ABA and BR signaling transduction-related genes (CsPYL1, CsPYL5, CsPYL8, CsBAK1 and CsXTH3) . Furthermore, the results of real-time PCR about the mRNA levels of these genes were consistent with transcriptome results. Therefore, ETH may induce adventitious root development by regulating carbon metabolism-related genes, secondary metabolite biosynthesis-related genes and plant hormone signal transduction-related genes.

Investigating Relationship between Plant Hormones and Important Substances in Harvested Tea Leaves Before Withering

Project description:Senescence is initiated immediately in harvested tea leaves, and leads to physiological and biochemical changes, and could affects the final tea products. In the present work, we investigated the relationship between hormones and critical components in harvested tea leaves before withering, changes in hormones including abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and critical components like catechins, theanine, and caffeine were analyzed. Significant changes in these substances were identified and ABA correlated with catechin in harvested tea leaves before withering. RNA-seq transcriptome analysis revealed dramatic differences between tea samples at 1 h and 2 h compared with those at 0 h. The patterns of these three critical components correlated with the expression profiles of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Weighted correlation network analysis of co-expressed genes revealed that genes in the mediumpurple2 module correlated with ABA and catechins. The results of this study suggest that harvested tea leaves before withering undergo significant hormonal changes (ABA, JA, and SA) and ABA may participate in regulating catechin biosynthesis.

Systemic suppression of the rice shoot metabolism upon root rot nematode infection

Project description:Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple foods in the world, feeding more than 50% of the human population. One of its most damaging pathogens, with major impact on rice yield, is the migratory root rot nematode Hirschmanniella oryzae. In comparison with the existing knowledge on the infection process of dicots by sedentary nematodes, far less is known about the interaction between monocot plants and nematodes or plant interactions with migratory nematode species. Therefore, to gain deeper insight into the systemic transcriptional changes in rice after migratory root rot nematode infection we have performed mRNA-Seq on the shoots of root rot nematode infected rice plants. The observations were independently validated using qRT-PCR and biochemical analyses. This research reveals significant modifications in the metabolism of the plant, with a general suppression of chlorophyll biosynthesis, and primary metabolic processes involved in plant growth . Differential expression analysis between controls rice shoots and shoots from root rot nematode (H. oryzae) infected rice at two time points.

Psychosocial stress-induced brain atrophy and its suppression via theanine intake

Project description:When mice of accelerated senescence prone 10 (SAMP10) were psychosocially stressed using male mouse’s territorial imperative, the mice exhibited higher cerebral atrophy and cognitive dysfunction than same-aged group-housing mice. The brain atrophy was examined using MRI. The volumes of various brain areas were decreased at the time of one month after confrontational housing. However, in SAMP10 mice ingesting theanine, the main amino acid in tea leaves, brain atrophy was suppressed even under confrontational housing. To investigate the function of theanine, the early response against stress was examined at the third day of confrontational housing. The level of transcription factor Npas4 that plays a role in the development of inhibitory synapses for regulating the balance between excitation and suppression was significantly increased by theanine intake. Actually, the levels of glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, were balanced in the mice ingested theanine under confrontational housing. These data suggest that theanine suppresses stress-induced damage in the brain via increased expression of Npas4 and regulation of excitement/suppression balance. In addition, SAMP10 is a useful model of stress vulnerability.

Nitrosoproteomic Analysis Deciphers the S-Nitrosylome in Carbon Metabolism of Tea Leaves

Project description:Cysteine S-nitrosylation is a reversible protein post-translational modification and critically regulates the activity, localization and stability of proteins. Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.)) is one of the most thoroughly studied evergreen crop due to its broad non-alcoholic beverage and huge economic impact in the world. However, to date, little is known about the S-nitrosylome in this plant. Here, we performed a global analysis of cysteine S-nitrosylation in tea leaves. In total, 228 cysteine S-nitrosylation sites were identified in 191 proteins, representing the first extensive data on the S-nitrosylome in tea plants. These S-nitrosylated proteins were located in multiple subcellular compartments, especially in the chloroplast and cytoplasm. The analysis of functional enrichment and PPI network revealed that the S-nitrosylated proteins were mainly involved in carbon metabolism, especially in Calvin cycle and TCA cycle. These results suggested that S-nitrosylated proteins in tea leaves might play critical regulatory roles in the carbon metabolism. Overall, this study not only globally analyzed the functional annotation of cysteine S-nitrosylation in tea leaves, but also preliminarily provided the valuable information for further investigating the functions of cysteine S-nitrosylation in tea plants.
