Douglas fir proteome project - In vitro protein profiles in the early and late stages of Douglas-fir xylogenesis

ABSTRACT: The process of wood formation is of great interest to control and manipulate wood quality for economically important gymnosperms. A Douglas-fir tissue culture system was developed to induce differentiation of callus into tracheary elements (fibers) and to monitor xylogenesisin-vitro by a proteomics approach. Two proteomes were being compared, from an early and late stage during the fiber differentiation process. After 18 weeks in a differentiating medium 80% elongated cells and 20% of cells with advanced spiral thickening were found indicating full wood fiber differentiation. Based on 2D electrophoresis, mass spectrometric, and data analyses, it was shown that nondifferentiated callus (early stage of development) expressed proteins related to protein metabolism, cellular energy and primary cell wall metabolism. At the same time, actively differentiating wood fibers (late stage of development) expressed proteins responsible for housekeeping and stress response, but mostly proteins involved in cell wall polysaccharides biosynthesis.

The process of wood formation is of great interest to control and manipulate wood quality for economically important gymnosperms. A Douglas-fir tissue culture system was developed that could be induced to differentiate into tracheary elements (fibers) making it possible to monitor xylogenesis in vitro by a proteomics approach. Two proteomes were analyzed and compared, one from an early and one from a late stage of the fiber differentiation process. After 18 weeks in a differentiation-inducing me ...[more]

Project description:The cost of Carica papaya production through seed-based propagation is increased by sex segregation, making in vitro techniques a more appealing option for clonal propagation. Inducing embryogenic callus with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) hold the potential to large-scale cloning, although the molecular mechanisms underlying this process are still not well understood. In this study, we performed a temporal analysis in the proteome of C. papaya callus to identify the key players involved in embryogenic differentiation. Mature zygotic embryos were used as explants and treated with 20 μM 2,4-D to induce embryogenic callus. Total proteins were extracted at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days (T0, T7, T14, and T21), and 1407 proteins were identified using bottom-up proteomic approach. Comparative proteomics revealed 957 differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) (p<0.05 and log2FC >0.585 or <-0.585) in at least one comparison between the analyzed induction times points. The clustering analysis revealed four clusters with distinct patterns of protein accumulation throughout the embryogenic callus induction treatment. The cluster 1 contains 386 DAPs that accumulated at all analyzed times after treatment with 2,4-D. In contrast, cluster 2 contains 165 DAPs that decrease in abundance during the induction. The cluster 3 contains 251 proteins that are most abundant just after the start of incubation in 2,4-D (T7) and cluster 4 grouped 155 proteins that accumulate after callus formation. Functional analysis revealed that proteins involved with reserve storage and seed maturation were more abundant in the explant at T0 and decreased as callus formation progressed. Biological processes involving carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, aerobic respiration, and protein catabolic processes were enriched after induction treatment. Regulatory proteins, including histone deacetylase (HDT3) and argonaute 1, were more abundant after the start of induction treatment with 2,4-D, suggesting their role in acquisition of embryogenic competence. Predicted protein-protein networks revealed the regulatory role of proteins 14.3.3 accumulated during callus induction and the association of proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation, hormone response, and SAM metabolism. Our findings emphasize the modulation of the proteome at different stages during embryogenic callus initiation and identify regulatory proteins that might be involved with the activation of this process.

Project description:Fomitiporia mediterranea (Fmed) is one of the main fungal species found in grapevine wood rot, also called “amadou”, one of the most typical symptoms of grapevine trunk disease Esca. This fungus is functionally classified as a white-rot, able to degrade all wood structure polymers, i.e., hemicelluloses, cellulose, and the most recalcitrant component, lignin. Specific enzymes are secreted by the fungus to degrade those components, namely carbohydrate active enzymes for hemicelluloses and cellulose, which can be highly specific for given polysaccharide, and peroxidases, which enable white-rot to degrade lignin, with specificities relating to lignin composition as well. Furthermore, besides polymers, a highly diverse set of metabolites often associated with antifungal activities is found in wood, this set differing among the various wood species. Wood decayers possess the ability to detoxify these specific extractives and this ability could reflect the adaptation of these fungi to their specific environment. The aim of this study is to better understand the molecular mechanisms used by Fmed to degrade wood structure, and in particular its potential adaptation to grapevine wood. To do so, Fmed was cultivated on sawdust from different origins: grapevine, beech, and spruce. Carbon mineralization rate, mass loss, wood structure polymers contents, targeted metabolites and secreted proteins were measured. We used the well-known white-rot model Trametes versicolor for comparison. Whereas no significant degradation was observed with spruce, a higher mass loss was measured on Fmed grapevine culture compared to beech culture. Moreover, on both substrates, a simultaneous degradation pattern and the degradation of wood extractives were demonstrated, and proteomic analyses identified a relative overproduction of oxidoreductases involved in lignin and extractive degradation on grapevine cultures, and only few differences in carbohydrate active enzymes. These results could explain at least partially the adaptation of Fmed to grapevine wood structural composition compared to other wood species and suggest that other biotic and abiotic factors should be considered to fully understand the potential adaptation of Fmed to its ecological niche.

Project description:Sugarcane is an economically important crop contributing to the world’s sugar and ethanol production with 80% and 40%, respectively. In recent years, the growing demands for sugar and ethanol production has prompted the necessity to increase sugarcane productivity through conventional breeding programs. However, sugarcane breeders have encountered several difficulties to raise productivity, mainly due to its complex genetics. Sugarcane has a polyploidy genome, with many varieties being aneuploidy. Today, the majority of the planted sugarcane cultivars are complex hybrids derived mainly from crosses between Saccharum officinarum and S. spontaneum. Therefore, proteomics can provide some insight into deciphering gene regulation and changes in carbon metabolism and sucrose accumulation in the culms at different stages of plant development. The aim of this work was to compare the quantitative changes of proteins in sugarcane culms, during plant growth and sucrose accumulation. Total proteins were isolated from both, juvenile and maturing internodes at three stages of plant development. Label free shotgun proteomics was used for protein profiling and quantification. The internodes 5 (I5) and 9 (I9) of 4, 7 and 10 month-old-plants (4M, 7M and 10M, respectively) were harvested and used for proteomic analyses. To mimic field conditions of sucrose accumulation during sugarcane maturation, we stopped watering 10M plants for 10 days. An average of 1130 proteins, unique and differentially expressed across all ages were identified and quantified. Proteins were categorized within 27 functional groups, related to biological process. The patterns of expression for some categories, such as cellular amino acids, metabolic processes, secondary metabolic processes and translation were down-regulated in the immature internode (I5-10M), while up-regulated in the mature I9-10M. We observed an increase in the abundance of several enzymes of the glycolytic pathway and isoforms of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), in the juvenile stages of development of I9. These changes in enzymes contents indicates that at the early stages of internode development, hypoxia is increasing the glycolytic and ethanolic fermentation pathways, in order to supply ATP for plant growth and NAD+ for mitochondrial respiration, which might be impaired by the low oxygen availability inside the culm.
