Project description:Transcriptomic analysis unravels the molecular mechanism of sugarcane root in response to indolebutyric acid stimulation under low temperature.
Project description:To explore the molecular mechanism of low-K tolerance in sugarcane, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify sugarcane genes in response to low-K stress. seeldings were transplanted to low-K hydroponic (containing 0.1 mmol.L-1 K+) and the roots were collected at 0 (CK), 8, 24 and 72 h after exposure to low-K condition. The expressions of genes in sugarcane roots were detected by microarray analysis. Totally 1545 genes at 8 h, 1053 genes at 24 h and 3155 at 72 h differentially expressed under low-K stress, when the 2-fold change was adopted as the threshold for determining differentially expressed genes. Among these genes, a certain amount of transcription factors, transporters, kinases, oxidative stress-related genes and genes in Ca+ and ethylene signaling pathway were detected to differentially express. Seeldings were treated with low-K hydroponic (containing 0.1 mmol.L-1 K+) and after 0 (CK), 8, 24 and 72 h exposure to low -K stress, the roots of sugarcane were collected. Four independent experiments were performed using roots collected at different time points
Project description:In order to increase our understanding on the epigenetic regulation in response to abiotic stresses in plants, sRNA regulation in sugarcane plants submitted to drought stress was analyzed. Deep sequencing analysis was carried out to identify the sRNA regulated in leaves and roots of sugarcane cultivars with different drought sensitivities. An enrichment of 22-nt sRNA species was observed in leaf libraries. The pool of sRNA selected allowed the analysis of different sRNA classes (miRNA and siRNA). Twenty eight and 36 families of conserved miRNA were identified in leaf and root libraries, respectively. Dynamic regulation of miRNA was observed and the expression profile of eight miRNA was verified in leaf samples by stem-loop qRT-PCR assay. Altered miRNA regulation was correlated with changes in mRNA levels of specific targets. 22-nt miRNA triggered siRNA-candidates production by cleavage of their targets in response to drought stress. Some genes of sRNA biogenesis were down-regulated in tolerant genotypes and up-regulated in sensitive in response to drought stress. Our analysis contributes to increase the knowledge on the roles of sRNA in epigenetic-regulatory pathways in sugarcane submitted to drought stress.

Project description:Drought is considered the major abiotic stress limiting crop productivity. This study sought to identify proteins involved in the drought response in sugarcane stems submitted to drought stress. The integration of nuclei enrichment sample preparation with the shotgun proteomic approach (nLC-MS/MS) resulted in great coverage of the sugarcane stem proteome with 5,381 protein groups identified (1% FDR). A total of 1,204 differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) were detected in response to drought, among which 586 showed increased abundance and 618 decreased abundance.

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.
