Project description:INTRODUCTION:The oxylipin methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a plant hormone active in response signalling and defence against herbivores. Although MeJA is applied experimentally to mimic herbivory and induce plant defences, its downstream effects on the plant metabolome are largely uncharacterized, especially in the context of primary growth and tissue-specificity of the response. OBJECTIVES:We investigated the effects of MeJA-simulated and real caterpillar herbivory on the foliar metabolome of the wild plant Brassica nigra and monitored the herbivore-induced responses in relation to leaf ontogeny. METHODS:As single or multiple herbivory treatments, MeJA- and mock-sprayed plants were consecutively exposed to caterpillars or left untreated. Gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) time-of-flight mass-spectrometry (TOF-MS) were combined to analyse foliar compounds, including central primary and specialized defensive plant metabolites. RESULTS:Plant responses were stronger in young leaves, which simultaneously induced higher chlorophyll levels. Both MeJA and caterpillar herbivory induced similar, but not identical, accumulation of tricarboxylic acids (TCAs), glucosinolates (GSLs) and phenylpropanoids (PPs), but only caterpillar feeding led to depletion of amino acids. MeJA followed by caterpillars caused higher induction of defence compounds, including a three-fold increase in the major defence compound allyl-GSL (sinigrin). When feeding on MeJA-treated plants, caterpillars gained less weight indicative of the reduced host-plant quality and enhanced resistance. CONCLUSIONS:The metabolomics approach showed that plant responses induced by herbivory extend beyond the regulation of defence metabolism and are tightly modulated throughout leaf development. This leads to a new understanding of the plant metabolic potential that can be exploited for future plant protection strategies.

Project description:In this study, we used the illumina high throughput sequencing approach (Sequencing-By-Synthesis, or SBS) to develop the sequence resource of black pepper. To identify micro RNAs functioning in stress response of the black pepper plant, small RNA libraries were prepared from the leaf and root of Phytophthora capsici infected plants, leaves from drought stressed and control plants.

Project description:The experiments were performed to elucidate the enigmatic enzymatic formation of the pungent principle, piperine, from black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), the world´s most popular spice. Based a differential RNA-Seq approach including immature fruits, flowers, and leaves, the gene encoding piperine synthase, encoding a BAHD-type acyltransferase and several other candidate genes encoding various enzymatic functions in the biosynthetic pathway were identified. Recombinant piperine synthase and additional promiscuous piperamide synthases were used to facilitate the microbial production of a broad range of medicinally relevant piperamides. Subsequent investigations will also include the identification of enzymatic steps in the phenylpropanoid pathway and the amino acid derived biosynthesis of piperidine Based on the assumption that piperine encoding genes are highly expressed shortly before the slope of piperine accumulation reaches its maximum, RNA from greenhouse grown black pepper plants was extracted from young fruits at two different stages of development, flowers, and leaves were harvested for a differential RNA-Seq approach. Candidate transcripts associated with piperine biosynthesis were identified by comparative transcript abundance and sequence annotation tools.

Project description:We investigated hepatic mRNA profiles of female mice exposed to 0.162 mg Printex 90 carbon black nanoparticles by single intra-tracheal instillation. We examined responses to this dose 1, 3 and 28 days after exposure, alongside respective controls. We show that genes part of the 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase pathway to be up-regulated by exposure to Printex 90.

Project description:Poplars are known to be highly tolerant species to boron toxicity and accumulation. However, genes and molecular networks responsible in boron toxicity tolerance have not been investigated yet. Therefore, we performed a pot experiment with 20 black poplar clones collected from the vicinity of boron mines and polluted areas to investigate its potential role in phytoremediation and to select the most boron toxicity tolerant genotype. Trees were treated with irrigation water containing seven elevated boron concentrations from 0 to 160 ppm. Then a microarray based comparative transcriptome profiling was conducted to identify boron toxicity regulated genes responsible in defence responses of black poplar. The results of the study indicated that black poplar is quite suitable for phytoremediation of boron pollution. It could resist 15 ppm soil B content and < 1600 mg/kg boron accumulation in leaves which are highly toxic concentrations for almost all agricultural plants. Transcriptomics results of study revealed totally 1625 and 1419 altered probe sets under boron toxicity in leaf and root tissues, respectively. The highest induction were recorded for the probes sets annotated to tyrosine aminotransferase, ATP binding cassette transporters, glutathione S transferases and metallochaperone proteins. Strong up regulation of these genes attributed to internal excretion of boron into the cell vacuole and existence of detoxification processes in black poplar. Many candidate genes functional in signalling, gene regulation, antioxidation, boron uptake, transport and detoxification processes were also identified in the current study. This is the first transcriptomic study identifying boron toxicity regulated poplar genes and their potential role in boron toxicity tolerance. Total RNA used in microarray experiment was isolated from the leaves and roots of black poplar clone; N.92.237 which accumulated the highest amount of boron its tissues. Total RNA used in the microarray experiment was isolated from leaves and roots of three black poplar saplings grown in ~ 2 ppm (control) and ~ 15 ppm (toxic) soil B contents. RNA isolation was made according to Lithium chloride precipitation method described in Chang et al. (1993). These three isolated RNAs (biological replicates) for each tissue loaded onto three Affymetrix poplar Gene Chips (technical replicates). Totally, 12 GeneChips (2 tissues Ã? 2 different B treatment Ã? 3 biological replicates) were used for transcriptional analysis.

Project description:Gene expression changes during the initial stages of black spot disease caused by Alternaria brassicicola on Brassica oleracea (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. alba, white cabbage) leaves were investigated with Arabidopsis thaliana oligonucleotide microarrays. Transcriptional profiling of infected B. oleracea leaves revealed that photosynthesis was the most negatively regulated biological process. The negative regulation of 6 photosynthesis-related genes, mainly the genes involved in the photosynthesis light reaction and Calvin cycle, was observed as early as 12 hours post infection (hpi). It progressed through 48-hpi stage, when 44 down-regulated photosynthesis-related genes were detected. The analyses of infected leaves at microscopic, ultrastructural and physiological levels supported the microarray-based observations and indicated that the photosynthetic processes are suppressed in B. oleracea as a result of the fungal infection.

Project description:The coat color of mammals is determined by the melanogenesis pathway, which is responsible for maintaining the balance between black-brown eumelanin and yellow-reddish phaeomelanin. It is also believed that the color of the bovine nose is regulated in a similar manner; however, the molecular mechanism underlying pigment deposition in the black nose has yet to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to identify melanogenesis-associated genes that are differentially expressed in the black vs. yellow nose of native Korean cows.
