Project description:Phytoremediation soil polluted by heavy metal has been drawn on a worldwide attention from human society. However, how to improve the efficiency of plant remediation of soil contaminated by cadmium remains unknown. Previous studies showed that nitrogen (N) significantly enhanced cadmium uptake in poplar plants. In order to further explore the key role of N in the detoxification against cadmium stress in plants, this study try to investigate the poplar proteome and phosphoproteome difference between Cd stress and Cd+N treatment. In total, 5838 of the 6573 identified were quantified. With a fold-change threshold >1.3 and p-value<0.05, 375 and 108 proteins were up- and down-regulated by Cd stress when compared to the control, 42 and 89 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in Cd+N / Cd group, 522 and 127 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in Cd+N / CK group. In addition, the phosphoproteome data was obtained after the proteomic difference was normalized, and 1471phosphosites in 721 proteins were quantified. Based on a fold-change threshold >1.2, P-value <0.05, the Cd stress up-regulated 8 phosphosites in 8 proteins and down-regulated 69 phosphosites in 58 proteins, whereas N+Cd treatment up-regulated 95 phosphosites in 86 proteins and down-regulated 17 phosphosites in 17 proteins when compared to sole Cd stress. In addition, N+Cd treatment up-regulated 74 phosphosites in 60 proteins and down-regulated 42 phosphosites in 37 proteins when compared to the control.Several putative responses to stress proteins, transcriptional and translational regulation factors were up-regulated by addition ofexogenous nitrogen followed Cd stress at the proteome and phosphoproteome levels. Especially, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), peroxidase (POD), zinc finger protein (ZFP), ABC transporter protein (ABC), eukaryotic translation initiation factor (elF) and splicing factor 3B subunit 1-like (SF3BI) were up-regulated by Cd+N treatment whether at the proteome or at the phosphoproteome levels, which was need to further study. In a word, taken together of proteome and phosphoproteome data, nitrogen serves a protective role in plants treated with Cd by multiple ways.

Project description:Cadmium (Cd)-contamination in soil has been becoming a major environmental problem in China. Ramie, a fiber crop, was frequently proposed to be used as the crop for phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated farmlands. However, high level Cd accumulation can cause a great inhibition of growth in ramie. To understand the potential mechanism for this phenomenon, the ramie genes involved in the Cd stress response were identified using Illumina pair-end sequencing in two Cd-stressed plants (CdS1 and CdS2) and two control plants (CO1 and CO2) in this study. Approximately 48.7, 51.6, 41.2, and 47.1 million clean sequencing reads generated from the libraries of CO1, CO2, CdS1, and CdS2, respectively, were De novo assembled to yield 56,932 non-redundant unigenes. A total of 26,686 (46.9%) genes were annotated for their function. Comparison of gene expression levels between CO and CdS ramie revealed 155 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Sixteen DEGs was further confirmed their expression difference by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Among these 16 DEGs, 2 genes encoding GA2-oxidase which is a major enzyme for deactivating bioactive gibberellins (GAs) were found with a markedly up-regulated expression, which is possibly responsible for the growth inhibition of Cd-stressed ramie. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that a pathway (Cutin, suberine and wax biosynthesis) was markedly enriched by DEGs. The discovery of these Cd stress-responsive genes and pathways will be helpful for further understanding the mechanism of Cd-stressed response and improving the ability of Cd stress tolerance in ramie.

A total of four samples, two replicates of control plants (CO1 and CO2) and two replicates of cadmium-stressed plants (CdS1 and CdS2) were used for RNA-seq.
Project description:A DNA microarray analysis detected large-scale changes of gene expression in response to Cd stress with a substantial difference between the two barley genotypes differing in Cd tolerance and accumulation. Cd stress led to higher expression of genes involved in transport, carbohydrate metabolism and signal transduction in the low-grain-Cd-accumulating genotype. Novel transporter genes such as zinc transporter genes were identified as being associated with low Cd accumulation. We used microarrays to understand the mechanism of low Cd accumulation in crops which is crucial for sustainable safe food production in Cd-contaminated soils.
