Project description:We used solexa sequencing technology to analysis transcriptome of tobacco seedings under low potassium stress for 6 h,12 h and 24h treatment. Further analysis suggested that 732 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were up-regulated and 302 DEGs were down-regulated after potassium deficiency. Our results provided comprehensive analysis of gene regulatory network under low potassium stress of tobacco seedings.
Project description:Potassium (K+) is a crucial macronutrient in high biomass plants, especially in banana.we comparatively studyed the phenotypic traits and transcriptomic profiles of banana leaves and roots between low potassium group (LK) and normal-potassium group (NK). In our study, the K+ content and biomass index of banana seedling were all significantly decreased under the stress of low potassium group. Moreover, thirty differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to potassium transport and uptake and transcription factors were analyzed deeply. DEGs about ABC transporters, protein kinases and ion transporters were also detected, these genes may play important roles during potassium deficiency. These results provide valuable information about banana response to low potassium conditions.

Project description:We use solexa sequencing technology to analysis root transcriptome of alligator weed during 7 d potassium deficiency. Further analysis suggested that 9,253 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were up-regulated and 2,138 DEGs were down-regulated after potassium deficiency for 7 days, including 121 transcription factors, 108 kinases, 146 transporters, and 178 genes that were related to stress. Our results afford a valuable resource for genetic and genomic research on plant potassium deficiency.

Project description:Potassium is the major intracellular cation in S. cerevisiae, which can be concentrated up to 200-300 mM even from relatively low potassium (< 1 mM) environments. This is achieved by mean of a high affinity K+-transport system encoded by the genes TRK1 and TRK2. Recently, our group became interested in the effects of sudden shortage of extracellular potassium. Transcriptomic analysis indicates that lack of potassium drastically alters sulfur metabolism (mainly Met and Cys metabolism), triggers an oxidative stress response and activates the mitochondrial retrograde pathway. We also observe a dramatic halt in the expression of genes required for ribosome biogenesis and translation, as well as decrease in expression of diverse genes (cyclins, protein kinases) required for progression through the cell cycle. Only subsets of these changes were observed in a strain deleted for the TRK1 and TRK2 genes growing in the presence of sufficient potassium (50 mM). Research involving molecular genetics and metabolomic approaches aiming to clarify the primary targets for potassium requirements is currently ongoing.

Project description:Soil potassium deficiency has become a global problem in agricultural production, seriously restricting crops productions and agricultural sustainable development. Identification of the microRNAs and understanding their functions in response to low K stress will be helpful for developing crop varieties with low K tolerance. Our previous study identified a low K tolerant accession XZ153 from Tibetan wild barley. In this study, small RNA and degradome analysis were performed on two barley genotypes differing in low K tolerance (XZ153, tolerant; ZD9, sensitive) to identify the miRNAs and their targets responding to low K stress. A total of 1108 miRNAs were detected in shoots of XZ153, and ZD9 at 2 d and 7 d after low K stress, and their targets were identified through bioinformatics prediction and degradome analysis. We identified 65 differentially expressed miRNAs responding to low K stress. The results also showed that miR164c, miR169h and miR395a modules could mediate TCA cycle, glycolysis pathway and pentose phosphate pathway responding to low K stress. The osa-miR166g-3p and ghr-miR482b may act as the regulators in Ca2+ signaling pathway in response to low K stress. The methionine salvage cycle involved in ethylene biosynthesis process mediated by miR396c-3p and osa-miR171e-5p might be also involved in responding to low K stress. Some miRNAs, including miR160a, miR396c and miR169h modules, which participated in photosynthesis regulation under low K stress, differed between the two barley genotypes. In conclusion, these exclusively expressed miRNAs and their targets play the crucial roles in low K tolerance.
