Metabolomic and Proteomic and Revealed Differences in the Distribution and Synthesis Mechanism of Aroma Precursors in Tobacco Leaf, Stem, and Root at Seedling Stage

ABSTRACT: 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.

Project description:Background: Dendrobium officinale, an endangered Chinese herb, has extensive therapeutic effects and contains bioactive ingredients including a large number of polysaccharides and alkaloids, and minimal flavonoids. Firstly, this study attempts to obtain the protocorm-like bodies of this plant through tissue culture to produce the main secondary metabolites whose distribution in each organelle and protocorm like bodies is analyzed. Then, analysis of the correlation between comparative transcriptome sequence and the metabolite content in different organs enables the discovery of putative genes encoding enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of polysaccharides and alkaloids, and flavonoids. Results: The optimum condition for protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) induction and propagation of D. officinale is established. For protocorm induction, we use the seed as the explant, and the optimum medium formula for PLBs propagation is 1/2 MS + α-NAA 0.5 mg·L-1 +6-BA 1.0 mg·L-1 + 2, 4-D 1.5-2.0 mg·L-1 + potato juice 100 g·L-1. The distribution of polysaccharides, alkaloids and flavonoids in D. officinale organs was clarified. Stems, PLBs and leaves have the highest content of polysaccharides, alkaloids and flavonoids, respectively. PLBs replace organs to produce alkaloids in D. officinale, and naringenin was only produced in stem. Hot water extraction (HWE) method was found outperforming the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method for polysaccharides from D. officinale. A comparative transcriptome analysis of the protocorm-like bodies and leaves of D. officinale showed genes encoding enzymes involved in polysaccharides, alkaloids and flavonoids biosynthetic pathway were differentially expressed. Putative genes encoding enzymes involved in polysaccharides, alkaloids and flavonoids synthetic pathway were identified. Notably, genes encoding enzymes of strictosidine beta-glucosidase, geissoschizine synthase and vinorine synthase in alkaloids biosynthesis of D. officinale are first reported. Conclusions: Our works, especially the identification of candidate genes encoding enzymes involved in metabolites biosynthesis will help to explore and protect the endangered genetic resources and will also facilitate further analysis of the molecular mechanism of secondary metabolites’ biosynthesis in D. officinale.

Project description:Drought stress response is a complex trait regulated at multiple levels. In the past few years, molecular and genomic studies have shown that several drought responsive genes (DRGs) with various functions are induced by drought stresses, and that various transcription factors (TFs) are involved in the regulation of stress-inducible genes. In addition to those DRGs mentioned above, microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression at the posttranscriptional level by repressing mRNA expression. There is a complex interplay between transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of drought response that has not been extensively characterized in tobacco. In order to fully understand DRGs (including TFs) and different roles of miRNAs involved in the stress response, we sequenced and analysed three Digital Gene Expression (DGE) libraries in roots from drought treated tobacco plants, and four small RNA populations in roots, stems and leaves from control or drought treated tobacco plants. We identified 276 candidate DRGs in tobacco with sequence similarities to 64 known DRGs from model plants and crops and about 40% were TFs including WRKY, NAC, ERF and bZIP families. Furthermore, Out of these tobacco DRGs, 54differentially expressed DRGs included 21 TFs, which belonged to 24 TFs families such as NAC (6), MYB (4), ERF (10) and bZIP (1). Additionally, we confirmed expression of 39 known miRNA families (122 members) and five conserved miRNA families, which showed differential regulation under drought stress. Targets of miRNAs were further surveyed based on a recently published study, in which ten targets were DRGs. Finally, an integrated gene regulatory network has been proposed for the molecular mechanisms of the response of tobacco roots to drought stress using differentially expressed DRGs, the changed expression proﬁles of miRNAs and their target transcripts as a basis base on previous studies. In general, our data provide valuable information for future studies of the molecular mechanisms underlying tobacco roots in response to drought resistance in tobacco and other plants. Three tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) roots tag-based DGE libraries treated at three time points (0, 6 and 48 h) with 20% PEG6000 were generated using Illumina 1G technology. The samples for four small RNA libraries was used based on the result of physiological index measurement as follows: equal quantities (10 ug) of total RNA isolated from tobacco roots treated with two time points (6 and 48 h) were mixed together to construct the drought -treated small RNA library (Root-treat), and total RNA prepared from the control roots sample was used to construct the control small RNA library (Root-ck). In addition, we also constructed another two libraries (stem and leaf) from leaves and stems of control plants, respectively. These libraries were constructed using the Small RNA Sample Prep Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA) and then sent for Solexa sequencing.

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. 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.
