Project description:In this study, we compared transcriptomes in chlorotic tissues infected with wild type CMV or two CP mutants (129A and 129Q) with diverse chlorosis severity. Differentially expressed genes analysis showed that the CMV inoculation appeared to have similar effects on transcriptional expression profiles of the symptomatic chlorotic tissues and only the magnitude of expression differed among CMVs. Gene ontology analysis with biological process and cellular component terms revealed that many nuclear genes related to abiotic stress responses, including cadmium, heat, cold, and salt, were up-regulated while chloroplast- and photosynthesis-related genes (CPRGs) were down-regulated in the chlorotic tissues. Interestingly, down-regulation level of CPRGs was correlated with the chlorosis severity. The expression difference genes (DEGs) between mock-inoculated healthy tissues and CMV-inoculated chlorotic tissues in mosaic leaves of tobacco plants were examined by the comparison on one-colour microarray data. Three biological replicates per each treatment were used in this experiment.

Project description:Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is an important cash crop, and the size of its leaves significantly influences both yield and quality. However, the upper part of tobacco leaves, due to its dense tissue structure, often faces issues such as narrow and thick leaves during the production of roasted cigarettes. These problems have a severe impact on the yield and quality of the upper leaf. Although the mechanism of leaf size regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana has been extensively studied, it remains unclear for tobacco. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the role of the NtAN3 gene in regulating tobacco leaf size by utilizing the NC82 variety. The researchers created both an overexpression mutant (G27) and a silencing mutant (M21) of the NtAN3 gene and examined their impact on leaf size using cell morphology observation and transcriptome analysis. These research findings offer valuable insights for molecular breeding aimed at improving tobacco yield and enhancing the availability of upper leaves.

Project description:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor neuron dysfunction and loss, leading to progressive paralysis and death. A portion of ALS cases is caused by mutation of the proteasome shuttle factor Ubiquilin 2 (UBQLN2), but the molecular pathway leading from UBQLN2 dysfunction to neurodegenerative disease remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate a major function of UBQLN2 in regulating activity of the domesticated gag-pol retrotransposon ‘paternally expressed gene 10’ (PEG10) in human cells and tissues. UBQLN2 exclusively facilitates degradation of the frameshifted gag-pol form of PEG10 through recognition of a unique polyproline repeat. In cells, the PEG10 gag-pol protein cleaves itself in a mechanism reminiscent of retrotransposon self-processing to generate a liberated ‘nucleocapsid’ fragment, which uniquely localizes to the nucleus. Overexpression of the nucleocapsid fragment upregulates transcription of neuronal genes involved in axon remodeling, which were also affected in sporadic ALS (sALS) patient tissues. Finally, proteomics of spinal cords from ALS patients revealed that PEG10 gag-pol is significantly elevated in disease compared to healthy controls. These findings implicate the retrotransposon-like activity of PEG10 as a contributing mechanism in ALS through regulation of neuronal gene expression, and restraint of PEG10 as a primary function of UBQLN2.

Project description:Transciptomic changes in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun) following exposure to microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) emitted by Cladosporium sphaerospermum isolate TC09 (NRRL 67603) were investigated. Germinated seedling plants were cultured in Magenta GA7 vessels containing Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 30 g/L sucrose with and without fungal cultures that were included in the vessel but placed in a separated container. Ten days after the onset of MVOC exposure, tissue samples including the apical meristem and terminal leaves were collected and subject to RNA sequencing and transcriptome analysis using available tomato genome as reference. Our study revealed massive number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with diverse biological processes including cell expansion and cell cycle, photosynthesis, phytohormone homeostasis and defense responses as a consequence of short-term exposure to potent MVOCs.

Project description:Comparative analysis of tobacco leaves transcriptomes unveils carotenoid pathway potentially determined the characteristics of aroma compounds in different environmental regions. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is a sensitive crop to environmental changes, and a tobacco with unique volatile aroma fractions always formed in specific ecological conditions. In order to investigate the differential expressed genes caused by environmental changes and reveal the formation mechanism of characteristics of tobacco in three different aroma tobacco regions of Guizhou Province, Agilent tobacco microarray was adapted for transcriptome comparison of tobacco leaves in medium aroma tobacco region Kaiyang and light aroma tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu. Results showed that there was big difference among the gene expression profiles of tobacco leaves in different environmental conditions. A total of 517 differential expressed genes (DEGs) between Weining and Tianzhu were identified, while 733 and 1,005 genes differentially expressed between Longgang and another two tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu, respectively. Compared with Longgang, up-regulated genes in Weining and Tianzhu were likely involved in secondary metabolism pathways, especially carotenoid pathway, including PHYTOENE SYNTHASE, PHYTOENE DEHYDROGENASE, LYCOPENE ε-CYCLASE, CAROTENOID β-HYDROXYLASE and CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 1 genes, while most down-regulated genes played important roles in response to temperature and light radiation, such as heat shock proteins. Gene Ontology and MapMan analyses demonstrated that the DEGs among different environmental regions were significantly enriched in light reaction of photosystem II, response of stimulus and secondary metabolism, suggesting they played crucial roles in environmental adaptation and accumulation of aroma compounds in tobacco plants. Through comprehensive transcriptome comparison, we not only identified several stress response genes in tobacco leaves from different environmental regions but also highlighted the importance of carotenoid pathway genes for characteristics of aroma compounds in specific growing regions. Our study primarily laid the foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanism of environmental adaptation of tobacco plants and molecular regulation of aroma substances in tobacco leaves.

Project description:Retrotransposable elements are genomic parasites that are both key drivers of evolution and the ancestors of retroviruses. Although host cells have developed numerous mechanisms to keep these elements in check, there is also evidence from yeast to mammals that stressed cells sometimes activate transposition. Here we show that the fission yeast tf2 retrotransposons are regulated by alternative transcription start site (TSS) usage. Which TSS is used is determined by nucleosome positioning, which is in turn controlled by the Fun30 chromatin remodelers Fft2 and Fft3. By maintaining a high level of nucleosome occupancy at retrotransposon-flanking Long Terminal Repeat (LTR) elements, Fft2 and Fft3 promote the use of a downstream TSS and the production of RNA incapable of reverse transcription and retrotransposition. More generally, we show that Fft2 and Fft3 are involved in repressing the transcriptional response to stress, of which retrotransposon activation is a part. Finally, we show that in stressed cells retrotransposon TSS usage switches, allowing the production of full-length retrotransposon RNA. We propose that allowing retrotransposon transcription from a nonproductive TSS allows for the rapid activation of these elements in times of stress, while preventing their uncontrolled proliferation in the genome.

Project description:Plants of Solanum tuberosum ssp andigena, which tuberize only under SD conditions, were grown in growth chambers under non-inductive LD conditions and half of the plants were transferred to inductive SD conditions for 1 or 15 days, whilst the rest of the plants were kept as controls in LD. Transgenic potato plants with reduced phyB levels, which tuberize irrespective of photoperiod, were also grown in LD conditions. All the plants, irrespective of treatment, were harvested 14 hours after the beggining of the photoperiod (i.e. immediately before dusk for plants on LD, and 8 hours after dusk for the plants on SD). A similar experimental protocol was used with plants of N. tabacum cv Hicks that flower at the same time irrespective of photoperiod and the isogenic line N. tabacum cv Hicks carrying the Maryland Mammoth mutant allele, which flower only on SD (i.e. the plants were grown under LD for 55 or 41 days in LD and then transferred for 1 or 15 days to SD conditions, respectively, whilst control plants were grown 56 days in LD). Finally, Nicotiana silvestris plants that flower only on LD were grown in non-inductive SD and then half of the plants were transferred to inductive LD conditions for 1 or 15 days. In all cases we harvested only the leaves, the organ in which daylength perception takes place and photoperiodic responses are initiated. SD conditions in this experiments were 8 hours of light/ 16 hours of darkness, 160 uEinstein, 22 °C. LD conditions were 16 hours of light/ 8 hours of darkness, 80 uEinstein, 22 °C. RNA was extracted with TRIZOL. Keywords: Direct comparison / Balanced Block Design
