Project description:Purpose: Soil salinity is one of the main environmental factors that negatively influences yield, especially for sensitive crops such as rice. Studies report that a disturbing event can prepare the plant for a subsequent event through memory acquisition, involving physiological and molecular processes. Therefore, genes that provide altered responses in subsequent events define a category known as "memory genes." In this work, the RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) technique was used to analyse the transcriptional profile of rice plants subjected to different salt shock events and to characterise genes associated with long-term memory. Methods: The mRNA of rice plants cv. Ligeirinho was generated using deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina Hi-Seq 2500, for the following treatments:I) control (C): plants received irrigation with water and nutrient solution throughout the experiment; II) vegetative (SV), plants were exposed to saline shock only at the vegetative stage; III) reproductive (SR) plants were exposed to saline shock only at the reproductive stage; and IV) vegetative + productive (SV+R), plants were exposed to saline shock at the vegetative stage (first shock event) and at the reproductive stage (recurrent event). The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript level using this method: Mapping using STAR and identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was performed with the edgeR (false discovery rates - FDRs of <0.05). RT–qPCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: Plants subjected to recurrent salt shock showed differences in differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Additionally, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways, and carbohydrate and amino acid associated pathways were altered under all conditions. Memory genes can be classified according to their responses during the first event (+ or –) and the second shock event (+ or –), being possible to observe a larger number of transcripts for groups [+/–] and [–/+], genes characterised as "revised response." Conclusions: This is the first long-term transcriptional memory study in rice plants under salt shock, providing new insights into the process of plant memory acquisition.

Project description:Polyploidization is one of the effective ways to improve plant height and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.). However, the molecular mechanism of regulation is not yet fully understood. Here, we investigated the agronomic traits of diploid (Balilla-2x) and tetraploid (Balilla-4x) of japonica rice variety Balilla. Compared with Balilla-2x, Balilla-4x exhibited significantly increased plant height, spike length and yield per plant. RNA-seq analysis of the leaves of Balilla-2x and Balilla-4x was performed and the results showed that the expression levels of yield related genes (e.g., STH1, OsYUC9, and OsDEP1) were significantly upregulated in Balilla-4x rice plants, these genes are related to plant height and panicle development. These results indicated that polyploidization changed the expression of genes related to agronomic traits such as plant height and spike length, thereby increasing rice yield. This study provides a further basis for understanding the yield of rice after polyploidization, and can serve as a new theoretical reference for breeding high-yielding rice varieties achieved.

Project description:Rhizobia are soil bacteria that induce nodule formation on leguminous plants. In the nodules, they reduce dinitrogen to ammonium that can be utilized by plants. Besides nitrogen fixation, rhizobia have other symbiotic functions in plants including phosphorus and iron mobilization and protection of the plants against various abiotic stresses including salinity. Worldwide, about 20% of cultivable and 33% of irrigation land is saline, and it is estimated that around 50% of the arable land will be saline by 2050. Salinity inhibits plant growth and development, results in senescence, and ultimately plant death. The purpose of this study was to investigate how rhizobia, isolated from Kenyan soils, relieve common beans from salinity stress. The yield loss of common bean plants, which were either not inoculated or inoculated with the commercial R. tropici rhizobia CIAT899 was reduced by 73% when the plants were exposed to 300 mM NaCl, while only 60% yield loss was observed after inoculation with a novel indigenous isolate from Kenyan soil, named S3. Expression profiles showed that genes involved in the transport of mineral ions (such as K+, Ca2+, Fe3+, PO43-, and NO3-) to the host plant, and for the synthesis and transport of osmotolerance molecules (soluble carbohydrates, amino acids, and nucleotides) are highly expressed in S3 bacteroids during salt stress than in the controls. Furthermore, genes for the synthesis and transport of glutathione and γ-aminobutyric acid were upregulated in salt-stressed and S3-inocculated common bean plants. We conclude that microbial osmolytes, mineral ions, and antioxidant molecules from rhizobia enhance salt tolerance in common beans.

Project description:HaHB11 is a divergent member of the sunflower homeodomain-leucine zipper I subfamily of transcription factors. A sunflower microarray was hybridized with RNA from HaHB11-transformed leaf-disks and its analysis indicated the regulation of many genes encoding enzymes from fermentative pathways. A 1300 bp sequence exhibiting flooding-responsive cis-acting elements, upstream the transcription initiation site, was isolated and Arabidopsis plants transformed with a construct in which this promoter directs GUS expression. GUS expression was induced after flooding treatments and, in the same sense, HaHB11 expression was induced by flooding stress in sunflower. Furthermore, Arabidopsis plants were transformed with different constructs, varying in the promoter used, able to express HaHB11 cDNA. These transgenic plants exhibited differential phenotypes which the more remarkable traits were a significant increase in the rosette biomass and seeds yield. Moreover these plants exhibited an enhanced tolerance to flooding stress, both to submergence and waterlogging. Starch, sucrose and glucose contents were higher in the transgenics compared to WT and decreased less after submergence treatments. Finally, transcript levels of selected genes, involved in fermentative pathways, and the corresponding enzymatic activities were assessed both in sunflower and transgenic Arabidopsis plants after submergence indicating a general repression of the fermentative pathway which suggested that tolerance occurs via the quiescent strategy. Altogether the results indicated a role for HaHB11 in the flooding response and allowed us to propose this gene as a biotechnological tool to improve crops for increased yield and biomass and flooding tolerance.

Project description:Plants capture solar energy and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through photosynthesis, which is the primary component of crop yield, and needs to be increased considerably to meet the growing global demand for food. Environmental stresses, which are increasing with climate change, adversely affect photosynthetic carbon metabolism (PCM) and limit yield of cereals such as rice (Oryza sativa) that feeds half the world. To study the regulation of photosynthesis, we developed a rice gene regulatory network and identified a transcription factor HYR (HIGHER YIELD RICE) associated to PCM, which on expression in rice enhances photosynthesis under multiple environmental conditions, determining a morpho-physiological program leading to higher grain yield (GY) under normal, drought and high temperature stress conditions. We show HYR is a master regulator, directly activating photosynthesis genes, cascades of transcription factors and other downstream genes involved in PCM and yield stability under drought and high temperature environmental stress conditions. To assess the role of increased HYR expression in rice, whole-genome microarrays were used to generate gene expression profiles of rice cultivar Nipponbare transformed with an overexpression construct of the HYR gene (Loc_Os03g02650) under control of the CaMV 35S promoter, along with control wild-type (WT) lines.

Project description:Rice (Oryza sativa) stands among the world's most important crop species and is salt-sensitive. The undue accumulation of sodium ions (Na+) in shoots has the strongest negative correlation with rice productivity under long-term salinity. The plasma membrane Na+/H+ exchanger protein SOS1 is the only Na+ efflux transporter that has to date been genetically characterized and only in dicot plants. Here, the importance of Na+ fluxes governed by the SOS system in the salt tolerance of rice was analyzed by a reverse-genetics approach. A sos1 loss-of-function mutant displayed exceptional salt sensitivity that correlated with excessive Na+ intake and impaired Na+ loading into the xylem. Thus, SOS1 controls net Na+ uptake by roots and the long-distance transport to shoots. The acute Na+ sensitivity of sos1 plants at low NaCl concentrations allowed the inspection of the transcriptional response to sodicity stress, without interference by the osmotic challenge intrinsic to high salinity treatments. The transcriptional response to salt of the sos1 mutant roots involved the preferential down-regulation of stress-related genes compared to the wild-type despite the greater intensity of the stress imposed to the mutant, which suggested impaired stress detection or inability to mount a comprehensive response to salinity.

Project description:The approval of genetically modified (GM) crops is preceded by years of intensive research to demonstrate safety to humans and environment. We recently showed that in vitro culture stress is the major factor influencing proteomic differences of GM vs. non-GM plants. This made us question the number of generations needed to erase such memory. We also wondered about the relevance of alterations promoted by transgenesis as compared to environment-induced ones. Here we followed three rice lines (1-control- C, 1-transgenic- Ta and 1-negative segregant- NSb) throughout eight generations after transgenesis, and further analyzed their response to salinity stress on the F6 generation. Three pools of 10 whole fifteen days-old rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare) were selected from each line at F4, F6 and F8 generations. Because salinity stress was imposed on half of the seedlings (C, Ta and NSb) in F6 generation, from this generation onwards we worked with six rice lines (C, Csalt, Ta, Tasalt, NSb, NSbsalt).

Project description:Drought is a major environmental constraint affecting physiological, biochemical and molecular changes of crops, causing loss in crop productivities. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance is important for crop biotechnology. Here, we report that the rice (Oryza sativa) homeodomain-leucine zipper class IV transcription factor gene, Rice outermost cell-specific gene 10 (Roc10), improves drought tolerance and grain yield by increasing lignin accumulation in ground tissues of rice plants. Overexpression of Roc10 significantly enhanced drought tolerance of transgenic rice plants at the vegetative stages of growth with highly effective photosystem and reduction of water loss rate as compared with non-transgenic control and RNAi plants. More importantly, Roc10 overexpression plants had higher drought tolerance at the reproductive stage of growth with higher grain yield over controls under field-drought conditions. We identified downstream and putative target genes of Roc10 by using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data of rice shoots. Roc10 overexpression elevated the expression levels of lignin biosynthetic genes in shoots with a concomitant increase in accumulation of lignin. The overexpression and RNAi lines showed opposite patterns of lignin accumulation. The Roc10 is mainly expressed in the outer cell layers including epidermis and vasculature of shoots that coincides with areas of increased lignification. Furthermore, the Roc10 was found to directly bind to the promoter of PEROXIDASEN/PEROXIDASE38, a key gene in lignin biosynthesis. Together, our findings suggested that the Roc10 confers drought stress tolerance by enhancing lignin biosynthesis in ground tissues of rice plants.
