Project description:Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is an important cash crop, and the size of its leaves significantly influences both yield and quality. However, the upper part of tobacco leaves, due to its dense tissue structure, often faces issues such as narrow and thick leaves during the production of roasted cigarettes. These problems have a severe impact on the yield and quality of the upper leaf. Although the mechanism of leaf size regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana has been extensively studied, it remains unclear for tobacco. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the role of the NtAN3 gene in regulating tobacco leaf size by utilizing the NC82 variety. The researchers created both an overexpression mutant (G27) and a silencing mutant (M21) of the NtAN3 gene and examined their impact on leaf size using cell morphology observation and transcriptome analysis. These research findings offer valuable insights for molecular breeding aimed at improving tobacco yield and enhancing the availability of upper leaves.

Project description:Comparative analysis of tobacco leaves transcriptomes unveils carotenoid pathway potentially determined the characteristics of aroma compounds in different environmental regions. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is a sensitive crop to environmental changes, and a tobacco with unique volatile aroma fractions always formed in specific ecological conditions. In order to investigate the differential expressed genes caused by environmental changes and reveal the formation mechanism of characteristics of tobacco in three different aroma tobacco regions of Guizhou Province, Agilent tobacco microarray was adapted for transcriptome comparison of tobacco leaves in medium aroma tobacco region Kaiyang and light aroma tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu. Results showed that there was big difference among the gene expression profiles of tobacco leaves in different environmental conditions. A total of 517 differential expressed genes (DEGs) between Weining and Tianzhu were identified, while 733 and 1,005 genes differentially expressed between Longgang and another two tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu, respectively. Compared with Longgang, up-regulated genes in Weining and Tianzhu were likely involved in secondary metabolism pathways, especially carotenoid pathway, including PHYTOENE SYNTHASE, PHYTOENE DEHYDROGENASE, LYCOPENE ε-CYCLASE, CAROTENOID β-HYDROXYLASE and CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 1 genes, while most down-regulated genes played important roles in response to temperature and light radiation, such as heat shock proteins. Gene Ontology and MapMan analyses demonstrated that the DEGs among different environmental regions were significantly enriched in light reaction of photosystem II, response of stimulus and secondary metabolism, suggesting they played crucial roles in environmental adaptation and accumulation of aroma compounds in tobacco plants. Through comprehensive transcriptome comparison, we not only identified several stress response genes in tobacco leaves from different environmental regions but also highlighted the importance of carotenoid pathway genes for characteristics of aroma compounds in specific growing regions. Our study primarily laid the foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanism of environmental adaptation of tobacco plants and molecular regulation of aroma substances in tobacco leaves.

Project description:Tobacco, as an important cash crop and model plant, has been studied and explored in various aspects. In China, Yunyan 87 was recognized as a flue-cured tobacco variety and had been widely concerned due to its excellent product quality characteristics. The quality of tobacco products depends on the compound collection of tobacco leaves, including pigments, carbohydrates, amino acids, polyphenols and alkaloids. Present study investigated tobacco seedlings, with the assistant of the untargeted metabonomic technology and the label-free proteomic technology to analyze metabolites and proteins differences in leaf, stem, and root groups respectively. From 298 metabolites and 4993 proteins obtained, there were significant differences in both primary and secondary metabolism involved aroma precursors biosynthesis in seedling tobacco leaves, stems, and roots, such as carbohydrate metabolism, energy metabolism, and amino acid biosynthesis, and secondary metabolism phenylpropanoids, flavonoids and alkaloid biosynthesis in this study. Especially alkaloids metabolites identification results showed nornicotine, anatabine, anatalline, and myosmine, were significantly higher in tobacco roots than in leaves, and stems at seedling stage.
