Project description:In low rainfall regions soils are naturally conditioned with frequent co-occurrence of salinity and alkalinity. Plant salinity responses both at physiological and molecular level have been extensively researched. However, effects of the combined treatment of alkaline salinity that could greatly reduce plant growth and the mechanisms responsible for tolerance remain indeterminate. In Brassica juncea, large reductions in biomass and increased leaf Na+ concentration under alkaline salinity indicates that the combined treatment had greater negative effect than salinity on both growth and the physiological responses of the plant. To determine molecular mechanisms potentially controlling adaptive tolerance responses to salinity and alkaline salinity, the moderately tolerant genotype NDR 8501 was further investigated using microarray analysis. The transcripts of treated leaf tissues verses those of the untreated control sample were analysed after prolonged stress of four weeks. In total, 528 salinity responsive and 1245 alkaline salinity responsive genes were indentified and only 101 genes were expressed jointly in either of the two treatments. Transcription of 37% more genes involved in response to alkaline salinity than salinity alone, which suggests the increased impact and severity of the combined stress on the plant, indicating the transcription of a far greater number of genes likely involved in mitigation and damage control. Transcription of KUP2 and KUP7 genes involved in potassium homeostasis under salinity alone and NHX1 and ENH1 genes for ion (K+ and Na+) homeostasis under alkaline salinity, clearly demonstrated that different genes and genetic pathways are involved in response to each stress. They further provide supporting evidence for the physiological responses that occur in the plant, with massive reprogramming of the transcriptome leading to partial ion exclusion, shuttling and compartmentation. Salinity and alkaline salinity induced gene expression in Brassica juncea leaf was measured at 4 weeks of prolonged treatment of 50 mM NaCl alone and combined with 2.5 mM HCO3- versus non-stressed control. A single experiment was conducted using Brassica juncea genotype NDR 8501 at a single time point (fours weeks after treatment) with three replications per treatment.

Project description:Sprobolus virginicus is a halophytic C4 grass found in worldwide from tropical to warm temperate regions. A Japanese genotype showed a salinity tolerance up to 1,500 mM NaCl, a three-fold higher concentration than seawater salinity. To identify key genes involved in the regulation of salt tolerance in S. virginicus, random cDNA libraries were constructed from salt-treated leaves, and were introduced into Arabidopsis for salt tolerant plant screening. Eight independent transgenic lines were found to be more salt tolerant than wild type from the screen of 3011 lines on the medium containing 175 mM NaCl. Among the selected lines, two contained cDNAs encoding glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins (GRPs). To identify transcriptomic change in the GRP-transgenic line, we performed microarray analysis of the transgenic line and WTunder salt stress.

Project description:In present study we compared transcriptional response to salinity stress between susceptible CO 12 and tolerant genotype trichy 1 of finger millet. We found out that several functional group of genes like transporters, transcription factors, genes involved in cell signalling, osmotic homeostasis, compatible solutes biosynthesis were upregulated more in tolerant genotype as compared to susceptible genotype in response to salinity stress. Salnity inhibited photosynthetic capacity and photosynthesis related genes more in susceptible genotype as compared to tolerant genotype. Identified genes are excellent targets for further functional studies in order to understand more specific molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance in two genotypes of finger millet and can be further used for developing salinity tolerant crops through genetic engineering.

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:Whole genome transcriptional responses is profiled in the 0 & 120 mM NaCl stressed whole seedlings of four indica (Pokkali, PSBRc50, IR 58, BRRI dhan 29), two Japonica (Banikat, Nipponbare) and two wild (O. latifolia, O. Rufipogon) accessions of rice (that showed varied level of tolerance to salt stresses) to identify the salinity induced transcripts. Stress was imposed on 14 day old seedlings and total RNA from the whole seedlings was collected after 48 h of stressed period (i.e., from 16 day old seedlings). These data sets were used for two different analyses. Firstly, the gene expression responses of eight rice genotypes was interrogated by the weighted continuous morpho-physiological trait responses (on a scale of 0 to 1) using a modified version of the â??Significance Analysis of Microarraysâ?? (SAM) to identify the genes whose expression changes significantly and which is relative to the changes in morpho-physiological traits over these rice genotypes. Secondly, the differentially expressed significant salinity induced genes were also identified in the tolerant and in the susceptible genotypes using Gene-spring software. The genes that enriched the important biological processes and molecular functions (as identified by Gene Ontology: Singular enrichment analysis) are discussed in a way to explain the roles of these genes in overall stress adaptation mechanism. Fourteen day old whole seedlings of 8 rice genotypes were treated with 0 & 120 mM NaCl stress for 48 hours each with three replications and the gene expressions were measured using Agilent Rice Gene Expression 4x44K Microarray.

Project description:The mechanisms of cellular and molecular adaptation of fungi to salinity have been commonly drawn from halotolerant strains, although some exceptions in basidiomycete fungi can be found. These studies have been conducted in settings where cells are subjected to stress, either hypo or hyperosmotic, which can be a confounding factor in describing physiological mechanisms related to salinity. Here, we have studied transcriptomic changes in Aspergillus sydowii, a halophilic species, when growing in three different salinity conditions (No salt, 0.5M and 2.0M NaCl). In this fungus salinity related responses occur under high salinity (2.0M NaCl) and not when cultured under optimal conditions (0.5M NaCl), suggesting that in this species, most of the mechanisms described for halophilic growth are a consequence of saline stress response and not an adaptation to saline conditions.

Project description:Analysis of root gene expression of salt-tolerant genotypes FL478, Pokkali and IR63731, and salt-sensitive genotype IR29 under control and salinity-stressed conditions during vegetative growth. Results provide insight into the genetic basis of salt tolerance in indica rice. Experiment Overall Design: Seedlings were cultured in sand and irrigated with a nutrient solution for 22 d (salt-treated) and 30 d (control) after germination, respectively. Salinity treatment was applied by adding NaCl and CaCl2 (5:1 molar concentration) in two steps over a period of 3 days (final electrical conductivity: 7.4 dS m-1) to prevent osmotic shock. All plants were harvested on day 30.

Project description:Strophostyles helvola is a close relative to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and inhabits both coastal and non-coastal regions in North America. However, the mechanism of saline adaptation in S. helvola remains unclear. A transcriptome profiling would facilitate dissecting the underlying molecular mechanisms in salinity-adapted S. helvola. In this study, we reported the RNAseq analyses of two genotypes (a salt-tolerant beach genotype and a salt-sensitive inland genotype) of S. helvola stressed with salt. S. helvola plants were grown in pots and treated with half lethal-guided dose of NaCl solution for 3h, 24h, and 7d. The plants supplied with the same amount of water were used as controls. The whole roots sampled from the three time points were equally pooled as one biological replicate, and three replicates were used for library construction and transcriptome sequencing on Illumina Hiseq 2500. The comparative analyses of root transcriptomes presented here provides a valuable resource for discovery of genes and networks involved in salt tolerance in S. helvola.
