Project description:Among the mineral elements necessary for plant growth, nitrogen (N) is the macronutrient required in larger amounts. The optimization of N use efficiency (NUE) in maize could be obtained through both genetic improvement and agronomic practices in order to enhance production and reduce the negative impact of the N fertilizer use on the environment. Physiological characterizations of inbred lines with different NUE are available in maize. Maize (Zea mays L.) seeds of two inbred lines (T250, Lo5) previously soaked in running water for 24 h, were allowed to germinate in the dark at 28M-BM-0C for 72 h over an aerated solution of 0.5 mM CaSO4. Half part of two-d-old seedlings was grown in a nutrient solution with 200 M-NM-<M of KNO3 (treated samples, +NO3-) and the other half with appropriate amounts of the corresponding chloride salt (KCl) (control samples, -NO3-). Three biological replicates were obtained by three independent experiments and collecting roots of treated (200 M-NM-<M NO3-) and not treated plants after 0, 1, 2 e 4 h for Lo5 inbred line and after 0, 5, 11 and 12 h for T250.

Project description:Development of crop varieties with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is crucial for minimizing N loss, reducing environmental pollution and decreasing input cost. Maize is one of the most important crops cultivated worldwide and its productivity is closely linked to the amount of fertilizer used. A survey of the transcriptomes of shoot and root tissues of a maize hybrid line and its two parental inbred lines grown under sufficient and limiting N conditions by mRNA-Seq has been conducted to have a better understanding of how different maize genotypes respond to N limitation.

Project description:Nitrate (NO3-) is crucial for optimal plant growth and development and often limits crop productivity at the low availability. In comparison with model plant Arabidopsis, the molecular mechanisms underlying NO3- acquisition and utilization remain largely unclear in maize. In particular, only a few genes have been exploited to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Here, we demonstrated that NO3--inducible ZmNRT1.1B (ZmNPF6.6) positively regulated NO3--dependent growth and NUE in maize. We showed that the tandem duplicated proteoform ZmNRT1.1C is irrelevant to maize seedling growth under nitrate supply, however, loss-of-function of ZmNRT1.1B significantly weakened plant growth under adequate NO3- supply in both hydroponic and field conditions. 15N-labeled NO3- absorption assay indicated that ZmNRT1.1B mediated high-affinity NO3--transport and root-to-shoot NO3- translocation. Furthermore, upon NO3- supply, ZmNRT1.1B promotes cytoplasmic-to-nuclear shuttling of ZmNLP3.1 (ZmNLP8), which co-regulates the expression of genes involved in NO3- response, cytokinin biosynthesis and carbon metabolism. Remarkably, overexpression of ZmNRT1.1B in modern maize hybrids improved grain yield under nitrogen (N) limiting fields. Taken together, our study revealed a crucial role of ZmNRT1.1B in high-affinity NO3- transport and signaling and offers valuable genetic resource for breeding nitrogen use efficient high-yield cultivars.

Project description:Although urea is the most used nitrogen fertilizer worldwide, little is known on the capacity of crop plants to use urea per se as a nitrogen source for development and growth. To date, the molecular and physiological bases of its transport have been investigated only in a limited number of species. In particular, up to date only one study reported the transcriptomic modulation induced by urea treatment in the model plant Arabidopsis (Mérigout et al., 2008 doi: 10.1104/pp.108.119339). In maize, one of crops using huge amount of urea, only a physiological characterization of uptake and assimilation of the N-source has been conducted. General aim of the present work was the comprehension of the molecular basis of urea uptake and assimilation in maize plants, using a transcriptomic approach. In addition, the work focused on the possible interactions between the two main N-sources, conceivably occurring concomitantly in the soil, urea and nitrate.

Three different biological replicates were used for each sample repeating the experiment three times. All samples were obtained pooling roots of six plants.

Project description:Inferring phenotypic outcome from genomics features is the promise and challenge for basic and applied research. Functionally testing whether the feature(s) with predictive power can shed light on the underlying mechanism remains largely unexplored. We address these gaps by applying a machine learning approach to predict phenotypes based on transcriptome data. We validate the predictive models in silico using out-of-sample varieties and in planta by reverse genetics. Our study primarily focuses on a agronomic trait nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), but the described approach can be applied to any phenotype across biology, agriculture and medicine. We measure NUE and gene expression from natural and cultivated varieties of Arabidopsis and maize, respectively, under low and high N environments. We integrate transcriptomics across a model and a crop and demonstrate that identifying the evolutionarily conserved N-responsive differentially expressed genes is an efficient technique to reduce the feature dimensionality, which ultimately improves the predictive power of the gene-to-trait models learned. Furthermore, including a model organism with a comprehensive mutant collection has enabled the efficient validation of the role candidate genes with predictive power in NUE outcomes. Using the matched transcriptomic and phenotypic data from a model and crop species, we present an analysis pipeline to infer a complex trait from transcript abundance. This analysis pipeline can be applied to any other organisms to uncover novel genes underpinning physiological traits of interest.

Project description:It is well documented that biostimulants could play an important role in agriculture. Additionally, increased fertilizer use efficiency is essential for maintaining both yield and grain quality, especially for bread wheat, which is a major global crop. In the present study, we explored the effects of mixing urea-ammonium-nitrate fertilizer with Glutacetine® on the physiological responses, agronomic traits and grain quality of winter wheat. Grain proteome analysis revealed that Glutacetine strongly reduced 11 proteins including storage proteins. Indeed, 2 alpha-gliadins and 2 avenin-like proteins decreased after Glutacetine application, which were good for celiac disease patients. Moreover, 2 glutenin HMW subunit were reduced, changing the gliadin/glutenin ratio and the HMW/LMW ratio, thus modifying the wheat flour dough quality. Our investigation reveals the important role of these formulations in achieving significant increases in seed yield and grain quality.

Project description:Sorghum is an important cereal crop, which requires large quantities of nitrogen fertilizer for achieving commercial yields. Identification of the genes responsible for low-N tolerance in sorghum will facilitate understanding of the molecular mechanisms of low-N tolerance, and also facilitate the genetic improvement of sorghum through marker-assisted selection or gene transformation. In this study we compared the transcriptomes of root tissues from seven sorghum genotypes having different genetic backgrounds with contrasting low-N tolerance by the RNAseq deep sequencing data. Several genes were found which are common differentially expressed genes between four low-N tolerant sorghum genotypes (San Chi San, China17, KS78 and high-NUE bulk) and three sensitive genotypes (CK60, BTx623 and low-NUE bulk).
