Project description:bHLH122 could be induced by salt, osmotic and drought stress except ABA, the transgentic Arabidopsis were more tolerant to abiotic stresses, such as drought and salt. What's more, in the overexpression plants, the endogenesis ABA contents were higher than WT. We found there existed an interaction between bHLH122 and CYP707A3 by virtue of EMSA and ChIP assays. We wanted to learn more about the molecular mechanism of bHLH122 and to explore what had changed in the over-expression plant through Genechips. Two independent overexpression bHLH122 lines and WT Arabidopsis were chosen to RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. The plants were sowed on MS medium after 96 h stratification,then transferred into soil after one weeks. After 2 weeks, collected the shoot above the soil and extracted RNA, digested by DNaseM-bM-^EM- and hybrid on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Salinity is a pressing issue causing widespread crop loss, prompting plants to adapt through changes in gene expression. This study investigated the role of the non-tandem CCCH zinc finger protein gene AtC3H3 in Arabidopsis in response to salt stress. AtC3H3, a gene from the non-TZF gene family and known for its RNA-binding and ribonuclease activity, was found to be upregulated under osmotic stresses such as high salt and drought. When overexpressed in Arabidopsis, AtC3H3 led to increased tolerance to salt stress, not drought stress. qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of both well-known ABA-dependent salt stress-responsive genes, such as RAB18, RD29B, and RD22, and representative ABA-independent salt stress-responsive genes, such as DREB2A and DREB2B, was significantly higher in AtC3H3 OXs than WT under NaCl treatment, indicating its involvement in both ABA-dependent and ABA-independent signaling pathways. mRNA-Seq analysis using NaCl-treated WT and AtC3H3 OXs revealed no potential target mRNAs of the RNase function of AtC3H3, suggesting that the potential targets of AtC3H3 might be non-coding RNAs, not mRNAs. The study conclusively demonstrates that AtC3H3 plays a crucial role in salt stress tolerance by influencing the expression of salt stress-responsive genes. These findings have opened a new avenue for understanding plant stress mechanisms and suggest potential strategies for enhancing crop resilience to salinity.

Project description:Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant) is one of the most important halophyte plants for plant stress biology research. In this study, we established an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method in ice plant and confirmed that ice plant can sustain gene overexpression for four weeks. Expression of a salt-induced transcription factor McHB7 (OE) reached the highest level at seven days after infiltration. Under salt and drought stresses, the growth of OE was better than wild type (WT), and the activities of redox enzymes and chlorophyll contents were higher in OE than the WT. Using proteomics, 475, 510 and 378 proteins were identified to be significantly changed in the OE lines under control, salt, and drought conditions, respectively. Most increased proteins were involved in various processes including Calvin cycle, citric acid cycle, glycolysis, and antioxidant pathways. Some were found to participate in ABA biosynthesis or response. Metabolomics revealed that many metabolites and phytohormones in OE were involved in plant growth and development. Also, ABA was increased in OE lines under control, salt, and drought conditions. Yeast one-hybrid analysis showed that McHB7 can bind to ERD and ABA-related motifs. And protein-protein interaction analysis discovered the candidate proteins that were responsive to stresses and hormones (e.g., ABA).

Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA)-, stress-, and ripening-induced (ASR) proteins are involved in abiotic stress responses. However, the exact molecular mechanism underlying their function remains unclear. Notably, the direct targets of ASRs that confer drought stress tolerance have not yet been identified.In this study, we report that MaASR expression was induced by drought stress and MaASR overexpression in Arabidopsis strongly enhanced drought stress tolerance. Physiological analyses indicated that transgenic lines had higher survival rates, germination rates and proline content, and lower water loss rates (WLR) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. MaASR-overexpressing lines also showed smaller leaves and reduced sensitivity to ABA. Further, microarray and chromatin immunoprecipitation-based sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis revealed that MaASR participates in regulating photosynthesis, respiration, carbohydrate and phytohormone metabolism and signal transduction to confer plants with enhanced drought stress tolerance. Direct interactions of MaASR with promoters for the hexose transporter and Rho GTPase-activating protein (RhoGAP) genes were confirmed by electrophoresis mobility shift array (EMSA) analysis. Our results indicate that MaASR acts as a crucial regulator of photosynthesis, respiration, carbohydrate and phytohormone metabolism and signal transduction to mediate drought stress tolerance.

Project description:Plants physiological mechanisms are affected by Abscisic acid (ABA) via changing gene expression and empowers plants to adapt in numerous environments. Plants have evolved their protection mechanisms for seed germination and abiotic environments to deal with critical harsh conditions. Here, we have explored those changes in Arabidopsis thaliana plants subjected to multiple abiotic stresses. AtBro1 transcripts showed up-regulation in the presence of salt, ABA and mannitol stress conditions. AtBRO1 over-expression lines exhibited robust tolerance to drought and salt stress. Further, ABA elicits resistance responses in loss-of-function bro1-1 mutant plants and AtBro1 positively regulates drought resistance in Arabidopsis. Promoter of AtBro1 fused with GUS showed GUS expression mainly in the rosette leaves and floral clusters, especially in anthers. AtBro1 protein was found to be localized in the plasma membrane of Arabidopsis at the subcellular level by using AtBro1::GFP fusion. Using a broad RNA-sequencing analysis, we observed that early transcriptional responses prompted by ABA induction exhibit specific quantitative differences at different time points, suggesting that ABA stimulates resistance responses in bro1-1 mutant plants. Additionally, transcripts levels of MOP9.5, MRD1, HEI10, and MIOX4 were altered in loss-of-function mutant plants which are involved in different stress conditions. Collectively, our results have shown that AtBro1 is involved in a significant role by regulating plant transcriptional response to ABA and induction of resistance response against abiotic stress.

Project description:Transgenic Arabidopsis plants with constitutively low inositol (1,4,5) triphosphate exhibit an increased tolerance to water stress by an ABA-independent pathway The phosphoinositide pathway and inositol (1,4,5) trisphopsphate (InsP3) are implicated in plant responses to stress. In order to manipulate the pathway and determine the downstream consequences of altered InsP3-mediated signaling, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing the mammalian type I inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase, an enzyme that specifically hydrolyzes the soluble inositol phosphates and terminates the signal. Transgenic plants have no morphological differences compared to wild type; however, rapid transient Ca2+ responses to a cold or salt stimulus are reduced by ~ 30%. To further understand the role of InsP3-mediated signaling in plant stress responses we focused on drought stress. Surprisingly, the InsP 5-ptase plants lose less water and exhibited an increased tolerance to drought. Stomatal bioassays showed that transgenic guard cells are less responsive to the inhibition of opening by ABA but show an increased sensitivity to ABA-induced closure. The onset of the drought stress is delayed in the transgenic plants and ABA levels did not increase as much as in the wild type. Transcript profiling has revealed that DREB2A and a subset of DREB2A regulated genes are basally up regulated in the InsP 5-ptase plants. These results indicate that the drought tolerance of the InsP 5-ptase plants is mediated in part via an ABA-independent pathway. The constitutive dampening of the InsP3 signal in this system has uncovered novel regulation and cross talk between signaling pathways. Keywords: drought stress, expression study

Project description:Jasmonates (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) are phytohormones known to play important roles in plant response and adaptation to various abiotic stresses including salinity, drought, wounding, and cold. JAZ (JASMONATE ZIM-domain) proteins have been reported to play negative roles in JA signaling. However, direct evidence is still lacking that JAZ proteins regulate drought resistance. In this study, OsJAZ1 was investigated for its role in drought resistance in rice. Expression of OsJAZ1 was strongly responsive to JA treatment, and it was slightly responsive to ABA, salicylic acid, and abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, and cold. The OsJAZ1-overexpression rice plants were more sensitive to drought stress treatment than the wild-type rice Zhonghua 11 (ZH11) at both the seedling and reproductive stages, while the jaz1 T-DNA insertion mutant plants showed increased drought tolerance compared to the wild-type plants. The OsJAZ1-overexpression plants were hyposensitive to MeJA and ABA, whereas the jaz1 mutant plants were hypersensitive to MeJA and ABA. In addition, there were significant differences in shoot and root length between the OsJAZ1 transgenic and wild-type plants under the MeJA and ABA treatments. A subcellular localization assay indicated that OsJAZ1 was localized in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Transcriptome profiling analysis by RNA-seq revealed that the expression levels of many genes in the ABA and JA signaling pathways exhibited significant differences between the OsJAZ1-overexpression plants and wild-type ZH11 under drought stress treatment. Quantitative real-time PCR confirmed the expression profiles of some of the differentially expressed genes, including OsNCED4, OsLEA3, RAB21, OsbHLH006, OsbHLH148, OsDREB1A, OsDREB1B, SNAC1, and OsCCD1. These results together suggest that OsJAZ1 plays a role in regulating the drought resistance of rice partially via the ABA and JA pathways.

Project description:Drought and salt stress severely inhibit plant growth and development. However, the regulatory mechanisms of plants in response to these stresses are not fully understood. Here we find that the expression of a WRKY transcription factor WRKY46 is rapidly induced by drought, salt and oxidative stresses. Mutations of WRKY46 by T-DNA insertion lead to more sensitive to drought and salt stress, whereas, overexpression of WRKY46 exhibits hypersensitive in soil culture with higher water loss rate, but increased tolerance on the agar plates. ABA induced stomatal closing is impaired in the WRKY46 overexpressing line (OV46), which is potentially due to the lower ROS accumulation in the guard cells. Real-time qPCR and GUS activity assay further demonstrate that WRKY46 is expressed in guard cells, but its expression is not affected by dehydration treatment, suggesting different regulatory mechanisms for WRKY46 between guard cells and other WRKY46 expressed tissues. The stomatal movement and conductance assay indicate that WRKY46 is involved in light-dependent stomatal opening. Further microarray analysis reveals that WRKY46 regulates a set of genes involved in cellular osmoprotection and redox homeostasis under dehydration stress. Determinations of ROS and MDA content confirm its role in oxidative detoxification under stress. Furthermore, we find that WRKY46 modulates light-dependent starch metabolism in guard cells via regulating QQS gene expression. Taken together, we demonstrate that WRKY46 plays a role in modulating cellular osmoprotection and redox homeostasis under drought and salt stress, and functions independently in stomatal movement via regulating light-dependent starch metabolism and ROS levels in guard cells. We used microarrays to identify the certain downstream genes regulated by WRKY46 under normal and dehydration conditions.

Project description:Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is sensitive to drought stress, which largely affects its transplantation survival rate, fruit yield and quality. Abscisic acid (ABA) treatment can reduce the drought-induced adverse impacts on plants. However, no studies have ever applied ABA as an exogenous supply to alleviate the drought stress on pomegranates. In this study, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis between the ABA-treated and untreated pomegranates to reveal the ABA-induced mechanisms in response to drought-stress. Our results showed that exogenous ABA application substantially enhanced pomegranate drought resistance by strengthening metabolic pathways, such as BRs synthesis, peroxisome biogenesis, photosynthesis and hemicelluloses synthesis. Furthermore, treatments with different ABA concentrations may provoke different transcriptional responses and, once the concentration exceeds the optimal (60 μM), it might induce some potential adverse impacts on plant growth and stress resistance.

Project description:Histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1) has been implicated in several important physiological and developmental processes, but its role in the regulation of stress responses remains elusive. Here, we report that H2Bub1 is crucially involved in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and drought response in rice. We found the rice (Oryza sativa) HISTONE MONOUBIQUITINATION2 (OsHUB2), an E3 ligase for H2Bub1, interacted with OsbZIP46, a key transcription factor regulating ABA signaling and drought response in rice. Genetic analyses suggest that OsHUB2, induced by drought and ABA, positively modulates ABA sensitivity and drought resistance. The H2Bub1 levels were increased in the promoters of OsbZIP46 target genes under the drought stress and ABA treatments, and the increased H2Bub1 levels were positively correlated to the increased expression levels of the target genes. Interestingly, MODD, a reported suppressor of ABA signaling and drought resistance through mediation of OsbZIP46 deactivation and degradation, can repress the H2Bub1 level in the promoters of OsbZIP46 target genes by recruiting a putative deubiquitinase OsOTLD1. Suppression of OsOTLD1 in vivo resulted in increased H2Bub1 levels and expression of drought-responsive genes targeted by OsbZIP46. These findings established an elaborate mechanism of histone monoubiquitination in the fine-turning of ABA signaling and drought response via balancing H2Bub1 deposition and removal.
