Project description:Background: Since the proposal of Brachypodium distachyon as a model for the grasses over 500 Bdi-miRNAs have been annotated in miRBase making Brachypodium second in number only to rice. Other monocots, such as switchgrass, are completely absent from the miRBase database. While a significant number of miRNAs have been identified which are highly conserved across plants, little research has been done with respect to the conservation of miRNA targets. Plant responses to abiotic stresses are regulated by diverse pathways many of which involve miRNAs; however, it can be difficult to identify miRNA guided gene regulation when the miRNA is not the primary regulator of the target mRNA. Results: To investigate miRNA target conservation and stress response involvement, a set of PARE (Parallel Analysis of RNA Ends) libraries totaling over 2 billion reads was constructed and sequenced from Brachypodium, switchgrass, and sorghum representing the first public release of degradome data from the latter two species. Analysis of this data provided not only PARE evidence for miRNA guided cleavage of over 7,000 predicted target mRNAs in Brachypodium, but also evidence for miRNA guided cleavage of over 1,000 homologous transcripts in sorghum and switchgrass. A pipeline was constructed to compare RNA-seq and PARE data made from Brachypodium plants exposed to various abiotic stress conditions. This resulted in the identification of 44 miRNA targets which exhibit stress regulated cleavage. Time course experiments were performed to reveal the relationship between miR393ab, miR169a, miR394ab, and their respective targets throughout the first 36 hours of the cold stress response in Brachypodium. Conclusions: Knowledge gained from this study provides considerable insight into the degradomes and the breadth of miRNA target conservation among these three species. Additionally associations of a number of miRNAs and target mRNAs with the stress responses have been revealed which will aid researchers in developing stress tolerant transgenic crops.

Project description:Abiotic stress is a major factor affecting the growth, development, yield and quality in plants including the important biomass yield such as in a bioenergy feedstock crops. In a first of its kind, RNA-seq based high resolution survey of abiotic stress-induced transcriptome of bioenergy feedstock model plant western poplar (Populus trichocarpa accesion Nisqually-1) was carried out by way of 81 libraries made from total RNA isolated from three tissues, mature vascular leaf, stem xylem and root sampled from plants subjected to untreated control and treated with four individual stress treatments cold, heat, drought and high salinity. For every tissue and treatment type including controls, three individual plants were used per treatment as biological replicates.

Project description:The proposed project aims to elucidate the gene-regulatory networks (GRNs) underlying terpenoid metabolism in three major bioenergy crops, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), maize (Zea mays), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), to aid crop development for enhanced stress resilience and biofuel production from biomass feedstock. Prior studies identified more than 50 terpene synthases (TPS) and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450), as key enzymes in generating bioactive terpenoids, in several bioenergy plants including switchgrass and maize. This knowledge now enables a precise investigation of the GRNs that govern common and species-specific terpenoid pathways. We will integrate transcription factor (TF) functional studies, TF binding site mapping, transcript and metabolite profiling, and terpenoid pathway engineering to identify the terpenoid-metabolic TF networks mediating stress responses in switchgrass, maize and sorghum.

Project description:Bioenergy sorghum accumulates 75% of shoot biomass in stem internodes. Grass stem internodes are formed during vegetative growth and elongate in response to developmental and environmental signals. To identify genes and molecular mechanisms that modulate the extent of internode growth, we conducted microscopic and transcriptomic analysis of four successive sub-apical vegetative internodes representing different stages of internode development of the bioenergy sorghum genotype R.07020.

Project description:Purpose-grown trees will be part of the bioenergy solution in the United States, especially in the Southeast where plantation forestry is prevalent and economically important. Trees provide a "living biomass inventory" with existing end-use markets and associated infrastructure, unlike other biomass species such as perennial grasses. The economic feasibility of utilizing tree biomass is improved by increasing productivity through alternative silvicultural systems, improved breeding and biotechnology. Traditional breeding and selection, as well as the introduction of genes for improved growth and stress tolerance, have enabled high growth rates and improved site adaptability in trees grown for industrial applications. An example is the biotechnology-aided improvement of a highly productive tropical Eucalyptus hybrid, Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla. This tree has acquired freeze tolerance by the introduction of a plant transcription factor that up-regulates the cold-response pathways and makes possible commercial plantings in the Southeastern United States. Transgenic trees with reduced lignin, modified lignin, or increased cellulose and hemicellulose will improve the efficiency of feedstock conversion into biofuels. Reduced lignin trees have been shown to improve efficiency in the pre-treatment step utilized in fermentation systems for biofuels production from lignocellulosics. For systems in which thermochemical or gasification approaches are utilized, increased density will be an important trait, while increased lignin might be a desired trait for direct firing or co-firing of wood for energy. Trees developed through biotechnology, like all transgenic plants, need to go through the regulatory process, which involves biosafety and risk assessment analyses prior to commercialization.

Project description:Industrial crops are grown to produce goods for manufacturing. Rather than food and feed, they supply raw materials for making biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals, as well as feedstocks for fabricating fiber, biopolymer, and construction materials. Therefore, such crops offer the potential to reduce our dependency on petrochemicals that currently serve as building blocks for manufacturing the majority of our industrial and consumer products. In this review, we are providing examples of metabolites synthesized in plants that can be used as bio-based platform chemicals for partial replacement of their petroleum-derived counterparts. Plant metabolic engineering approaches aiming at increasing the content of these metabolites in biomass are presented. In particular, we emphasize on recent advances in the manipulation of the shikimate and isoprenoid biosynthetic pathways, both of which being the source of multiple valuable compounds. Implementing and optimizing engineered metabolic pathways for accumulation of coproducts in bioenergy crops may represent a valuable option for enhancing the commercial value of biomass and attaining sustainable lignocellulosic biorefineries.
