Project description:Brachypodium distachyon as an annual species that colonises broken ground is a highly appropriate model to define drought tolerance mechanisms. We have previously identified accessions exhibiting drought tolerance, high susceptibility and intermediate tolerance to drought; respectively, ABR8, KOZ1 and ABR4, from a screen of 138 genotypes. To define the mechanisms of tolerance, the responses to drought were assessed using transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches. Analysis of RNA-seq before and following drought suggested relatively few differentially expressed genes in ABR8. Linking these to gene ontology (GO) terms revealed an enrichment for biological processes related to “regulated stress response”, “plant cell wall” and “oxidative stress”. Interestingly, drought tolerance also appeared to correlate with pre-existing differences in gene expression linked to GO terms associated with the cell wall. These included glycoside hydrolases involved in cell wall remodelling, pectin methylesterases, expansins and a pectin acetylesterase. Metabolomic assessments of the same samples also indicated few statistically significant changes in ABR8 with drought. Instead, pre-existing differences in the cell-wall associated metabolites appeared to correlate with drought tolerance. Our data suggests two different modes/levels at which cell wall characteristics can play a role in conferring drought tolerance: (i) an active response mode/level which involves stress induced changes in cell wall features to help the plant cope with drought and (ii) an intrinsic mode in which innate differences in cell wall composition and architecture between genotypes are important in determining tolerance to drought stress. Both modes seem to contribute to the drought tolerance of ABR8. Identification of the exact mechanisms through which the cell wall confers drought tolerance will be important to fully exploit the contribution of the cell wall in the development of drought tolerant cereals and other grasses.

Project description:The fullerenes, a kind of carbon nanoparticles, have potential for enhanced stress tolerance in plants. While the positive effects of polyhydroxy fullerene—fullerol on plants in response to drought at the physiological level have been documented, the molecular mechanism in Brassica napus are not entirely understood. In this study, exogenous fullerol was applied to the leaves of B. napus seedlings given drought. The leaves of B. napus seedlings in each treatment (sufficient water condition, drought, and drought combined with fullerol) were used to conduct the molecular mechanism using transcriptomic analysis.

Project description:Brachypodium distachyon is an established model for drought tolerance. We previously identified accessions exhibiting high tolerance, susceptibility and intermediate tolerance to drought; respectively, ABR8, KOZ1 and ABR4. Transcriptomics and metabolomic approaches were used to define tolerance mechanisms. Transcriptional analyses suggested relatively few drought responsive genes in ABR8 compared to KOZ1. Linking these to gene ontology (GO) terms indicated enrichment for "regulated stress response", "plant cell wall" and "oxidative stress" associated genes. Further, tolerance correlated with pre-existing differences in cell wall-associated gene expression including glycoside hydrolases, pectin methylesterases, expansins and a pectin acetylesterase. Metabolomic assessments of the same samples also indicated few significant changes in ABR8 with drought. Instead, pre-existing differences in the cell wall-associated metabolites correlated with drought tolerance. Although other features, e.g., jasmonate signaling were suggested in our study, cell wall-focused events appeared to be predominant. Our data suggests two different modes through which the cell wall could confer drought tolerance: (i) An active response mode linked to stress induced changes in cell wall features, and (ii) an intrinsic mode where innate differences in cell wall composition and architecture are important. Both modes seem to contribute to ABR8 drought tolerance. Identification of the exact mechanisms through which the cell wall confers drought tolerance will be important in order to inform development of drought tolerant crops.

Project description:In order to identify genes and pathways involved in drought tolerance, RNA was isolated from control and 15-days drought-stressed chickpea plants. Two chickpea genotypes, Desi PI598080 (“D”) and Kabuli Flip07 318C (“K”), respectively sensitive and tolerant to drought stresses were used. The 12 extracted RNAs (2 genotypes x 2 water regimes x 3 biological replicates) were sequenced, and the transcriptomic changes between the genotypes and water conditions were analysed. The genotype with higher drought sensitivity showed a generally higher change of gene transcripts than the genotype with less sensitivity, upregulating genes involved in photophosphorylation process (transferases, oxygen lyases and oxidoreductases), hormones (brassinosteroids, abscissic acid and gibberellin response), solute transporters, nutrient uptake and cell wall properties (cellulose synthases, hemicellulose synthases, poligalacturonases, pectate lyases). These results will be helpful for further studies aiming at identifying genes and molecular markers to develop chickpea cultivars resilient to water stress.

Project description:In this study, 17 plants of tetraploid “Zhique” were firstly identified by screening 570 natural seedlings of Citrus wilsonii Tanaka. These tetraploid plants showed different morphology and exhibited significantly increased drought tolerance than the diploids via determination of leaf water potential, relative water content and electrolyte leakage. Large number of genes involved in photosynthesis-responsive were differentially expressed in tetraploids under drought stress by global transcriptome analysis, which was consistent with the detection of photosynthesis indicator including photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll and so on. Compared with diploids, phosphorylation modification also plays an important role in the tetraploids after drought stress through the transcriptional and protein level analysis. Additionally, the genes involved in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and starch and sucrose metabolism pathways were enriched in both tetraploids and diploids in response to water deficient. Importantly, tetraploids significantly take priority over the diploid via regulating plant hormone signal transduction, especially improving the levels of 3-indoleacetic acid, abscisic acid and salicylic acid and reducing gibberellic A3 and jasmonic acid contents. Collectively, our data reveals that synergistic regulation photosynthesis, phosphorylation modification and plant hormones accumulation contribute to drought tolerance of autotetraploid in Citrus wilsonii.

Project description:Drought is one of the most important environmental fluctuations affecting tree growth and survival. Therefore, understanding of physiological and transcriptomic responses of trees to this stress factor will make important contributions to forest health and productivity. Here, we report comparative physiological and microarray based transcriptome analysis between drought resistant (N.62.191) and drought-sensitive (N.03.368.A) black poplar genotypes under well-watered (WWP), moderate drought (MD), severe drought (SD) and post drought re-watering (PDR) conditions. In the study, sensitive genotype exhibited a drought escape strategy with lower leaf water potential, higher reactive oxygen production, complete leaf abscission and subsequent terminal shoot necrosis under drought stress. On the other hand, resistant genotype had a dehydration tolerance indicating highly delayed leaf abscission under drought and fast growing capacity during re-watering conditions. Gene ontology enrichment analysis attributed drought susceptibility of black poplar to significant up-regulation of genes functional in transcription regulation (AP2/ERF, NAC and WRKY), cell wall modification (Expansins), fatty acid metabolism (enoyl-ACP reductase, lipid transport protein particle), protein degradation (endopeptidases), ethylene synthesis (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate) and riboflavin synthesis (GTP cyclohydrolase II) under drought stress. Transcriptomic comparison indicated significant down-regulation of photosynthesis, electron transport and carbohydrate metabolism related genes under drought stress in sensitive genotype. Although, similar reduction in carbohydrate metabolism was also recorded for resistant genotype, genes related with photosynthesis and electron transport systems were not down regulated even under SD for this genotype. Resistant genotype specific up-regulation of small heat shock proteins (sHSP) and bark storage proteins revealed importance of protein protection and nitrogen remobilization under drought stress, respectively. This is the first study associating BSP production to delayed leaf abscission and drought tolerance in trees.

Project description:In plants, drought stress is a major growth limiting factor causing cell water loss through open stomata. In this study, guard cell-specific transcripts from drought-stressed Arabidopsis plants were analyzed and a down-regulation of β-amylase 1 (BAM1) was found. In previous studies, BAM1 was shown to be involved in stomatal starch degradation under ambient conditions. Impaired starch breakdown of bam1 mutant plants was accompanied by decreased stomatal opening. Here, we show that drought tolerance of bam1 mutant plants is improved as compared to wild type controls. Microarray-analysis of stomata-specific transcripts from bam1 mutant plants revealed a significant down-regulation of genes encoding aquaporins, auxin- and ethylene-responsive factors and cell-wall modifying enzymes. This expression pattern suggests that reduced water-uptake and limited cell wall extension are associated with the closed state of stomata of bam1 mutant plants. Together these data suggest that regulation of stomata-specific starch turnover is important for adapting stomata opening to environmental needs and its breeding manipulation may result in drought tolerant crop plants.

Stress induced gene expression in Arabidopsis leaves and Stomata was measured after exposure to single drought stress. Drought stress conditions were analysed for both, Col-0 plants and a T-DNA insertion line for β-amylase 1. Six week old plants were treated with drought stress (5 days) according to Prasch and Sonnewald, 2013. Two to three biological replicates have been hybridized for each treatment.

Project description:Plant survival in adverse environmental conditions requires a substantial change in the metabolism, which is reflected by the extensive transcriptome rebuilding upon the occurrence of the stress. Therefore, transcriptomic studies offer an insight into the mechanisms of plant stress responses. Here, we present the results of global gene expression profiling of roots and leaves of two barley genotypes with contrasting ability to cope with drought stress. Our analysis suggests that drought tolerance results from a certain level of transcription of stress-influenced genes that is present even before the onset of drought. Genes that predispose the plant to better drought survival play a role in the regulatory network of gene expression, including transcripts for several transcription factors, translation regulators and structural components of ribosomes. Important group of genes is involved in signaling mechanisms, with significant contribution of hormone signaling pathways and an interplay between ABA, auxin, ethylene and brassinosteroid homeostasis. Signal transduction in drought tolerant genotype may be more efficient through the expression of genes required for environmental sensing that are active already during normal water availability and are related to actin filaments and LIM domain proteins, which may function as osmotic biosensors. Better survival of drought may also be attributed to more effective processes of energy generation and more efficient chloroplasts biogenesis. Interestingly, our data suggest that several genes from photosynthesis process are required for the establishment of effective drought response not only in leaves, but also in roots of barley. Thus, we propose a hypothesis that root plastids may turn into the anti-oxidative centers protecting root macromolecules from oxidative damage during drought stress. Specific genes and their potential role in building up a drought-tolerant barley phenotype is extensively discussed with special emphasis on processes that take place in barley roots. When possible, the interconnections between particular factors are emphasize to draw a broader picture of the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance in barley.
