Project description:Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is the most cultivated cool-season grass worldwide with crucial roles in carbon fixation and fodder for livestock. Protection of these grasses from biotic and abiotic factors are dictated through a mutually-beneficial relationship with endophytes that confer bioprotective properties. Common endophytes of the genus Epichloë promote the health and survival of cool-season forages greases and protect the plants from fluctuating environmental conditions. Climate change, and specifically, a steady increase in atmospheric CO2 levels, presents a dramatic and imminent threat faced by our ecosystem, which poses substantial pressures on plant health and survival. Defining the relationships between endophytes and the host plant may uncover mechanisms of bioprotection, which can be exploited to promote adaptable plant systems in rising CO2 conditions. In this study, we quantify changes in biomass and seed production of L. perenne L. at 400 and 800 ppm CO2 and identify endophyte-specific changes in metabolite production. Additionally, we discover protein-level changes from both the endophyte and plant perspectives, which underscore the compatible relationship between a common, natural endophyte and L. perenne L., compared to an incompatible and detrimental relationship the epichloid strain, AR1. Taken together, our data set provides new understanding into the intricacy of compatibility between endophyte and host from multiple molecular levels and suggests opportunity to promote plant robustness and survivability in rising CO2 environmental conditions through application of bioprotective epichloid strains.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of our study is to compare two different ecotypes of Oryza sativa L., PHS-susceptible rice trait and PHS-resistant rice trait under three different maturation stages in rice seed embryo with profile of miRNA-seq. Methods: Oryza sativa. L miRNA profiles of two different ecotypes with 3 different maturation stages of rice seed embryo were generated by NGS, in duplicate, following Illumina NGS workflow. Results: We found the differentially expressed microRNAs between PHS-susceptible rice trait and PHS-resistant rice trait according to the three different seed maturation stages. Target transcripts of differentially expressed microRNAs have been predicted via psRNATarget web server, and a part of those target genes are likely to be regulated by microRNAs, affecting overall responses to heat stress and the regulation of seed dormancy during maturation. Conclusions: Our study represents the analysis of rice seed small RNAs, specifically microRNAs, under two different ecotypes, three different seed maturation stages in rice seed embryo. Our results show that microRNAs are involved in response to heat stress and the regulation of seed dormancy. This study will provide a foundation for understanding dynamics of seed dormancy during the seed development and overcoming pre-harvest sprouting.

Project description:Rapid and uniform seed germination is required for modern cropping system. Thus, it is important to optimize germination performance through breeding strategies in maize, in which identification for key regulators is needed. Here, we characterized an AP2/ERF transcription factor, ZmEREB92, as a negative regulator of seed germination in maize. Enhanced germination in ereb92 mutants is contributed by elevated ethylene signaling and starch degradation. Consistently, an ethylene signaling gene ZmEIL7 and an α-amylase gene ZmAMYa2 are identified as direct targets repressed by ZmEREB92. OsERF74, the rice ortholog of ZmEREB92, shows conserved function in negatively regulating seed germination in rice. Importantly, this orthologous gene pair is likely experienced convergently selection during maize and rice domestication. Besides, mutation of ZmEREB92 and OsERF74 both lead to enhanced germination under cold condition, suggesting their regulation on seed germination might be coupled with temperature sensitivity. Collectively, our findings uncovered the ZmEREB92-mediated regulatory mechanism of seed germination in maize and provide breeding targets for maize and rice to optimize seed germination performance towards changing climates.
