Transcriptional profiling of Populus leaves with altered SA levels
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Salicylic acid (SA) has long been implicated in plant responses to oxidative stress. A direct assessment of SA effects in planta has been difficult, as SA-overproducing Arabidopsis mutants are compromised in growth or other developmental processes. We now report that transgenic Populus expressing a bacterial bifunctional SA synthase accumulated two to three orders of magnitude more total SA than wild type without affecting growth. Microarray experiments were performed to gauge the transcriptional responses of young source leaves to SA manipulation and/or heat stress. Differentially expressed genes due to SA perturbation or temperature treatment were identified. Co-expression network analysis was performed to identify key driver genes in SA-modulated response.

Project description:Salicylic acid (SA) has long been implicated in plant responses to oxidative stress. A direct assessment of SA effects in planta has been difficult, as SA-overproducing Arabidopsis mutants are compromised in growth or other developmental processes. We now report that transgenic Populus expressing a bacterial bifunctional SA synthase accumulated two to three orders of magnitude more total SA than wild type without affecting growth. Microarray experiments were performed to gauge the transcriptional responses of young source leaves to SA manipulation and/or heat stress. Differentially expressed genes due to SA perturbation or temperature treatment were identified. Co-expression network analysis was performed to identify key driver genes in SA-modulated response. Wild-type and transgenic Populus expressing cytosolic Irp9 (Irp9 line I6), plastidic Irp9 (FD-Irp9 lines F10 and F52) or NahG (NahG line N31) genes were maintained in two identical growth chambers at normal (NT, 27°C/17°C, day/night) or high (HT, 35°C/25°C) temperatures. Young source leaves at leaf plastochron index (LPI) 5 were sampled one week after the start of heat stress. Two biological replicates were used.
Project description:Low R:FR signaling through phytochromes induces shade avoidance responses, including petiole elongation. Salicylic acid-mediated defense against pathogens is inhibited under these conditions. Using microarrays we studied the crosstalk between low R:FR and SA at the global gene expression level in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Project description:To study the effect of plant metabolites on M. oryzae, we selected salicylic acid (SA), abscisic acid (ABA), and sakuranetin to treat M. oryzae grown on the medium with the concentration of 100μM. After 10 days' treatment, the total RNA were extracted and detected the transcriptome.
Project description:In this study we employ a strand-specific RNA-seq appoach and stranded gene expression analysis tools to identify drought responsive antisense gene loci and sense-antisense gene pairs in Populus. we generated and sequenced 28 strand-specific cDNA libraries derived from either leaf or root tissues of Populus trichocarpa plants associaed with both short-term drought (24 hours of water stress of 40% of field capacity) and long-term drought ( 25 days of water stress of 40% of field capacity) . We mapped over 71 billion nucleotides to Populus genome. Our data demonstrates that with the current sequence depth ~ 19 % of Populus genome undergoes antisense transcription subjected to drought regulation. All in all we have identified that in root tissues 524 differentially expressed antisense genes and 247 drought-responsive SA gene pairs which are significantly regulated by drought (padj <0.05). Taken all data from both drought treatments, we have identified 1185 unique drought-responsive antisense gene loci and 606 drought-responsive SA gene pairs (padj <0.05).
Project description:Low R:FR signaling through phytochromes induces shade avoidance responses, including petiole elongation. Salicylic acid-mediated defense against pathogens is inhibited under these conditions. Using microarrays we studied the crosstalk between low R:FR and SA at the global gene expression level in Arabidopsis thaliana. Plants were exposed for 2 h. to the following treatments: high R/FR with mock spray, low R/FR with mock spray, high R/FR with SA spray, low R/FR with SA spray. Gene expression was determined in petioles.
Project description:Plant hormones involved in environmental stresses, namely abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonic acid (JA), have been shown to interact with each other in a complex manner. To address the network of the hormone interactions, we have investigated the changes in expression under multiple hormone treatments, ABA+SA and ABA+JA. We chose cultured cells to remove the difference in the response to hormones among developmental cells or tissues. The cells were treated for 3hr and 24hr to see the rapid or transient response and steady-state response. The obtained data indicate that ABA and SA affect antagonistically, but these hormones affected many genes collaboratively. Indeed, according to the microarray data, there are many genes that responded only to ABA+SA. In addition, the ABA+SA responsive genes also responded to ABA+JA. These data suggest that hormone crosstalk is more complicated than expected and that more systematic analysis is required to untangle the hormone crosstalk network.

Project description:The phenolic compound salicylic acid (SA) is a key signaling molecule regulating local and systemic plant defense responses against biotrophs. Many microbial organisms, including pathogens, share the ability to degrade SA. However, the mechanism by which they perceive SA is unknown. We showed that Ustilago maydis, the causal agent of corn smut disease, employs a so far uncharacterized SA sensing mechanism. We identified and characterized the novel SA sensing regulator, Rss1, a binuclear zinc cluster protein with dual functions as putative SA receptor and transcriptional activator. To determine global transcriptional changes between the rss1 deletion mutant SG200∆rss1 and its progenitor strain SG200 during biotrophic growth and to identify potential Rss1 target genes, we conducted a microarray analysis at four days post infection. We identified only nine genes that were differentially regulated (adjusted p-value < 0.05), six of those were significantly repressed while three were significantly induced in SG200∆rss1. This set includes genes important for SA and tryptophan degradation indicating that Rss1 could play a role in the regulation of respective metabolic processes.
Project description:The Poplar transcriptome was analyzed in mycorrhizal root tips in contact with Laccaria bicolor for 2 weeks. During mycorrhization the roots were treated with either 250M-BM-5m ACC, 10nM JA or 500M-BM-5M SA and compared to untreated mycorrhiza or control roots without contact to L. bicolor. In addition the poplar mutants 35S::PttACO1 and 35S::Atetr1 were used We performed 27 hybridizations (NimbleGen) with samples derived from Populus tremula x Populus alba clone 717-1B4 control roots, untreated mycorrhiza, SA-treated mycorrhiza, ACC-treated mycorrhiza and JA-treated mycorrhiza (3 biological replicates each) as well as Populus tremula x Populus tremuloides T89 control roots, mycorrhiza, 35S::PttACO1 mycorrhiza and 35S::Atetr1-1 mycorrhiza (3 biological replicates). All samples were labeled with Cy3.
