Project description:Sucrose synthase (SUS), a key enzyme of sugar metabolism, plays an important role in the regulation of carbon partitioning in plant, and affects important agronomic traits and abiotic responses to adversity. However, the function of ZmSUS1 in plant drought tolerance is still unknown. In this study, the expression patterns of ZmSUS1 in different tissues and under drought stress were analyzed in maize (Zea mays L.). It was found that ZmSUS1 was highly expressed during kernel development but also in leaves and roots of maize, and ZmSUS1 was induced by drought stress. Homozygous transgenic maize lines of ZmSUS1 overexpressing increased the content and activity of SUS under drought stress and exhibited higher relative water content, proline and abscisic acid content in leaves. Specifically, the net photosynthetic rate and the soluble sugar contents including sucrose、glucose、fructose、UDP-glucose and ADP-glucose in transgenic plants was significantly improved after drought stress. RNA-seq analysis showed that overexpressing of ZmSUS1 mainly affected the expression level of carbon metabolism-related genes, especially the expression level of sucrose metabolism-related genes including ZmSUS、ZmSPS and ZmINV were significantly up-regulated in transgenic maize. Overall, these results suggested that ZmSUS1 improved drought tolerance by regulating sucrose metabolism and increasing soluble sugar content, and endowing transgenic maize with higher relative water content and photosynthesis levels, which can be served as a new gene candidate for cultivating drought resistant maize varieties.

Project description:Transcripts libraries were prepared from three sugarcane genotypes with high-sugar (HS), medium-sugar (MS) or low-sugar (LS) content that were treated with ethylene or H2O. The libraries were sequenced with the Illumina paired-end HiSeq platform.Transcriptomic analyses have identified about 160,000 unigenes of which 86000 annotated genes were classified into functional groups associated with carbohydrate metabolism, signaling, localization, transport, hydrolysis, growth, catalytic activity, membrane and storage, suggesting the structural and functional specification, including sucrose accumulation, occurring in maturing internodes. About 25,000 genes were differentially expressed between all genotypes and treatments combined. Genotype had a dominant effect on differential gene expression than ethylene treatment. Sucrose and starch metabolism genes were more responsive to ethylene treatment in low-sugar genotype. Ethylene caused differential gene expression of many stress-related transcription factors, carbohydrate metabolism, hormone metabolism and epigenetic modification. Ethylene-induced expression of ethylene-responsive transcription factors, cytosolic acid- and cell wall-bound invertases, and ATPase was more pronounced in low- than in high-sugar genotype, suggesting an ethylene-stimulated sink activity and consequent increased sucrose accumulation in low-sugar genotype.

Project description:Sugarcane established industrial crop providing sugar, ethanol and biomass-derived electricity around the world. Cane sugar content is an important, breeding target, but its improvement remains very slow in many breeding programmes. Biotechnology strategies to improve sucrose accumulation made little progress at crop level, mainly due to the limited understanding of its regulation. MiRNAs regulate many metabolic processes in plants. However, their roles and target genes associated with sugarcane sucrose accumulation remains unknown. Here, we conducted high-throughput sequencing of transcriptome, small RNAs and degradome of leaves and stem of two sugarcane genotypes with contrasting sucrose content from the early to late stages of sucrose accumulation stages, which provided more insights into miRNA-associated gene regulation during sucrose accumulation. Transcriptome analysis identified 18,722 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between both genotypes during sucrose accumulation. The major DEGs identified were involved in starch and sucrose metabolism, and photosynthesis etc. miRNA sequencing identified 563 known and 281 novel miRNAs from both genotypes during sucrose accumulation. Of these, 311 miRNAs were differentially expressed.752 targets of 368 miRNAs (609 targets for 260 known miRNAs and 168 targets for 108 novel miRNAs) were identified by degradom sequencing.Several known and novel miRNAs and their target genes associated with sugar metabolism, sugar transport and sucrose storage were identified in this study.This new insight into the complex network of sucrose accumulation in sugarcane will help identify candidate targets for sucrose improvement in sugarcane through molecular means.

Project description:Sucrose is the major product of photosynthesis in many higher plants. It is transported from the source tissue through the phloem to various sink tissues to support plant growth, development and reproduction. Knowledge of the signal transduction pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism is limited. Genes involved in the regulation of sucrose synthesis and accumulation could be used as tools in the development of genetically manipulated plants with higher sucrose content or aid in breeding programs as molecular markers. Using the SUCEST (Sugarcane EST) database information and a microarray approach, the expression profiles of 1920 sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) genes encoding signal transduction elements, transcription factors and stress-related proteins were analyzed. In order to assess their involvement in sucrose metabolism, the expression profiles of individuals from a sugarcane population segregated for sugar content were compared. From a population of 500 F1 individuals, the seven with the highest and the seven with the lowest sugar contents were selected, pooled and profiled using cDNA microarrays. Twenty-four genes were identified as differentially expressed. Five of them were more expressed in the plants with the highest sugar contents and 19 in the plants with the lowest sugar contents. RNA-blot hybridization was used to validate the expression profiles obtained for individuals in each group. These genes were shown to have differential expression throughout the growing season and in the different tissues. Our data supports the view that sugar levels modulate a complex signal transduction network that seems to involve responses related to stress. Keywords: Segregated population

Project description:Water soluble carbohydrates (WSC, composed of mainly fructans, sucrose, glucose and fructose) deposited in wheat stems are important carbon sources for grain filling. Variation in stem WSC concentrations among wheat genotypes is one of the genetic factors influencing grain weight and yield under water-limited environments. Here, we describe the molecular dissection of carbohydrate metabolism in stems, at the WSC accumulation phase, of recombinant inbred SB (Seri/Babax) lines of Triticum aestivum differing in stem WSC concentrations. Affymetrix GeneChip analysis of carbohydrate metabolic enzymes revealed that the mRNA levels of two fructan synthetic enzyme families (sucrose:sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase and sucrose:fructan 6-fructosyltransferase) in the stem were positively correlated with stem WSC and fructan concentrations, while the mRNA levels of enzyme families involved in sucrose hydrolysis (sucrose synthase and soluble acid invertase) were inversely correlated with WSC concentrations. Differential regulation of the mRNA levels of these sucrose hydrolytic enzymes in SB lines resulted in genotypic differences in these enzyme activities. Down-regulation of sucrose synthase and soluble acid invertase in high WSC lines was accompanied by significant decreases in the mRNA levels of enzyme families related to sugar catabolic pathways (fructokinase and mitochondrion pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) and enzyme families involved in diverting UDP-glucose to cell wall synthesis (UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase, UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase and cellulose synthase), resulting in a reduction in cell wall polysaccharide contents (mainly hemicellulose) in the stem of high WSC lines. These data suggest that differential carbon partitioning in the wheat stem is one mechanism that contributes to genotypic variation in WSC accumulation. We used Affymetrix GeneChip to dissect genotypic variation in carbohydrate metabolism related to water soluble carbohydrate accumulation in stems of wheat.

Project description:Background Protein synthesis is a highly energy demanding process and is regulated according to energy availability in plant cells. Light and sugar availability affect mRNA translation but the specific roles of these factors remain unclear. In this study, sucrose was applied to Arabidopsis seedlings kept in the light or in the dark, in order to distinguish sucrose and light effects on transcription and translation. These were studied using microarray analysis of steady state mRNA and mRNA bound to translating ribosomes. Results Steady state mRNA levels were affected differently by sucrose in the light and in the dark but general translation increased to a similar extend in both conditions. Alterations in polysomal mRNA association closely followed the changes induced on the transcript level. However, for 243 mRNAs, a change in ribosome occupancy was observed after sucrose treatment in the light, but not in the dark condition. Many of these mRNAs are annotated as encoding ribosomal proteins, supporting specific translational regulation of this group of transcripts. Unexpectedly, the numbers of ribosomes bound to each mRNA decreased for mRNAs with increased ribosome occupancy. Conclusions Our results suggest that sucrose regulate translation of these 243 mRNAs but specifically in the light, through a novel regulatory mechanism. Our data sows that increased polysomal association is not necessarily leading to more ribosomes per transcript, suggesting a mechanism of translational induction not solely dependent on increased translation initiation rates.

Project description:Sweet sorghum has emerged as a promising source of bioenergy mainly due to its high biomass and high soluble sugar yield in stems. Studies have shown that loss-of-function Dry locus alleles have been selected during sweet sorghum domestication, and decapitation can further boost sugar accumulation in sweet sorghum, indicating that the potential for improving sugar yields is yet to be fully realized. To maximize sugar accumulation, it is essential to gain a better understanding of the mechanism underlying the massive accumulation of soluble sugars in sweet sorghum stems in addition to the Dry locus. We performed a transcriptomic analysis upon decapitation of near-isogenic lines for mutant (d, juicy stems, and green leaf midrib) and functional (D, dry stems and white leaf midrib) alleles at the Dry locus. Our analysis revealed that decapitation suppressed photosynthesis in leaves, but accelerated starch metabolic processes in stems. SbbHLH093 negatively correlates with sugar levels supported by genotypes (DD vs. dd), treatments (control vs. decapitation), and developmental stage post anthesis (3d vs.10d). D locus gene SbNAC074A and other programmed cell death-related genes were downregulated by decapitation, while sugar transporter-encoding gene SbSWEET1A was induced. Both SbSWEET1A and Invertase 5 were detected in phloem companion cells by RNA in situ assay. Loss of the SbbHLH093 homolog, AtbHLH093, in Arabidopsis led to a sugar accumulation increase. This study provides new insights into sugar accumulation enhancement in bioenergy crops, which can be potentially achieved by reducing reproductive sink strength and enhancing phloem unloading.
