Bhardwaj R, Lone JK, Pandey R, Mondal N, Dhandapani R, Meena SK, Khan S. Insights into morphological and physio-biochemical adaptive responses in mungbean ( Vigna radiata L.) under heat stress. Front Genet 2023; 14:1206451. [PMID: 37396038 PMCID: PMC10308031 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1206451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is an important food legume crop which contributes significantly to nutritional and food security of South and Southeast Asia. The crop thrives in hot and humid weather conditions, with an optimal temperature range of 28°-35°C, and is mainly cultivated under rainfed environments. However, the rising global temperature has posed a serious threat to mungbean cultivation. Optimal temperature is a vital factor in cellular processes, and every crop species has evolved with its specific temperature tolerance ability. Moreover, variation within a crop species is inevitable, given the diverse environmental conditions under which it has evolved. For instance, various mungbean germplasm can grow and produce seeds in extreme ambient temperatures as low as 20°C or as high as 45°C. This range of variation in mungbean germplasm for heat tolerance plays a crucial role in developing heat tolerant and high yielding mungbean cultivars. However, heat tolerance is a complex mechanism which is extensively discussed in this manuscript; and at the same time individual genotypes have evolved with various ways of heat stress tolerance. Therefore, to enhance understanding towards such variability in mungbean germplasm, we studied morphological, anatomical, physiological, and biochemical traits which are responsive to heat stress in plants with more relevance to mungbean. Understanding heat stress tolerance attributing traits will help in identification of corresponding regulatory networks and associated genes, which will further help in devising suitable strategies to enhance heat tolerance in mungbean. The major pathways responsible for heat stress tolerance in plants are also discussed.

Natural Root Cellular Variation in Responses to Osmotic Stress in Arabidopsis thaliana Accessions. Genes (Basel) 2019; 10:genes10120983.

Abstract
Arabidopsis naturally occurring populations have allowed for the identification of considerable genetic variation remodeled by adaptation to different environments and stress conditions. Water is a key resource that limits plant growth, and its availability is initially sensed by root tissues. The root’s ability to adjust its physiology and morphology under water deficit makes this organ a useful model to understand how plants respond to water stress. Here, we used hyperosmotic shock stress treatments in different Arabidopsis accessions to analyze the root cell morphological responses. We found that osmotic stress conditions reduced root growth and root apical meristem (RAM) size, promoting premature cell differentiation without affecting the stem cell niche morphology. This phenotype was accompanied by a cluster of small epidermal and cortex cells with radial expansion and root hairs at the transition to the elongation zone. We also found this radial expansion with root hairs when plants are grown under hypoosmotic conditions. Finally, root growth was less affected by osmotic stress in the Sg-2 accession followed by Ws, Cvi-0, and Col-0; however, after a strong osmotic stress, Sg-2 and Cvi-0 were the most resilience accessions. The sensitivity differences among these accessions were not explained by stress-related gene expression. This work provides new cellular insights on the Arabidopsis root phenotypic variability and plasticity to osmotic stress.

Abstract
Due to the present scenario of climate change, plants have to evolve strategies to survive and perform under a plethora of biotic and abiotic stresses, which restrict plant productivity. Maintenance of plant protein functional conformation and preventing non-native proteins from aggregation, which leads to metabolic disruption, are of prime importance. Plant heat shock proteins (HSPs), as chaperones, play a pivotal role in conferring biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. Moreover, HSP also enhances membrane stability and detoxifies the reactive oxygen species (ROS) by positively regulating the antioxidant enzymes system. Additionally, it uses ROS as a signal to molecules to induce HSP production. HSP also enhances plant immunity by the accumulation and stability of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins under various biotic stresses. Thus, to unravel the entire plant defense system, the role of HSPs are discussed with a special focus on plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses, which will be helpful in the development of stress tolerance in plant crops.

Abstract
Scirpus triqueter has been reported to be an effective phytoremediation plant for pyrene dissipation. The study of S. triqueter in response to pyrene is crucial to understand the mechanism of phytoremediation. To gain a certain extent understanding of S. triqueter in response to pyrene, S. triqueter seedlings were exposed to 50 mg kg(-1) pyrene and a comparative proteomic analysis of total proteins was performed. 37 and 55 proteins were significantly differentially expressed in the shoot and root of S. triqueter upon exposure, respectively. 24 proteins (17 proteins in shoot and 7 proteins in root) were identified on the basis of the homology of their peptide profiles with existing protein sequences using mass spectrometry analysis. Analysis of protein expression patterns revealed that proteins in shoot associated with photosynthesis, defense, energy and matter metabolism, coenzyme metabolism and protein metabolism. Moreover, the proteins related photosynthesis accounted for more than 70% of the identified proteins. The proteins in root associated with stress, defense, energy metabolism, protein modification and carbohydrate metabolism. Pyrene appears to have an important deleterious effect on primary carbon metabolism, the synthesis of proteins and signal transduction. The present study demonstrates the use of proteomic approach to help us understand the phytoremediation mechanism of S. triqueter.

Abstract
Synthesis and accumulation of molecular chaperones are universal responses found in all cellular organisms when exposed to a variety of unfavorable conditions. Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), which is one of the major classes of molecular chaperones, plays a particularly important role in cellular stress responses, and the Hsp70 system is the most intensely studied in higher plants and algae. Therefore, we isolated and characterized a cDNA clone encoding Hsp70 from a sterile strain of Ulva pertusa (Ulvales, Chlorophyta). The sterile U. pertusa Hsp70 (UpHsp70) cDNA consisted of 2,272 nucleotides and had an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 663 amino acid (AA) residues with a molecular mass of 71.7 kDa. Amino acid alignment and phylogenetic analysis of Hsp70s from other organisms showed that UpHsp70 was more similar to cytoplasmic Hsp70s from green algae and higher plants (> or =75%) than to those from other algae and microorganisms. Southern blot analysis indicated that the sterile U. pertusa genome had at least four cytoplasmic Hsp70-encoding genes. UpHsp70 mRNA levels were significantly affected by diurnal changes, rapidly increased by high-temperature stress, and gradually increased by exposure to copper, cadmium, and lead. These results suggest that UpHsp70 plays particularly important roles in adaptation to high-temperature conditions and diurnal changes, and is potentially involved in tolerance to heavy metal toxicity.

Abstract
Cryptochromes are blue light-sensing photoreceptors found in plants, animals, and humans. They are known to play key roles in the regulation of the circadian clock and in development. However, despite striking structural similarities to photolyase DNA repair enzymes, cryptochromes do not repair double-stranded DNA, and their mechanism of action is unknown. Recently, a blue light-dependent intramolecular electron transfer to the excited state flavin was characterized and proposed as the primary mechanism of light activation. The resulting formation of a stable neutral flavin semiquinone intermediate enables the photoreceptor to absorb green/yellow light (500-630 nm) in addition to blue light in vitro. Here, we demonstrate that Arabidopsis cryptochrome activation by blue light can be inhibited by green light in vivo consistent with a change of the cofactor redox state. We further characterize light-dependent changes in the cryptochrome1 (cry1) protein in living cells, which match photoreduction of the purified cry1 in vitro. These experiments were performed using fluorescence absorption/emission and EPR on whole cells and thereby represent one of the few examples of the active state of a known photoreceptor being monitored in vivo. These results indicate that cry1 activation via blue light initiates formation of a flavosemiquinone signaling state that can be converted by green light to an inactive form. In summary, cryptochrome activation via flavin photoreduction is a reversible mechanism novel to blue light photoreceptors. This photocycle may have adaptive significance for sensing the quality of the light environment in multiple organisms.

Abstract
In animals and yeast, cytosolic Hsp70s function in concert with other molecular chaperones. Hsp70 is a major chaperone in the Hsp90 multi-chaperone complexes that participate in maturation of steroid receptors and several other proteins. Hsp70s also appear to form a complex with Hsp90 and Hsp110/sHsp. A 100 kDa protein was co-immunoprecipitated with cytosolic Hsc70 from maize seedlings (Zea mays). The presence of this complex was further confirmed using gel-filtration chromatography. Mass spectrometric analysis showed that the 100 kDa protein is homologous with Arabidopsis Hsp101. Treatment with apyrase enhanced the co-immunoprecipitation of Hsp101 with Hsc70, while ATP had the opposite effect. In the presence of carboxymethylated alpha-lactalbumin (CMLA), which is permanently unfolded, the complex dissociated. Based on these observations, it is concluded that Hsc70 and Hsp101 are present in a complex in the plant cytosol.

Abstract
The cr88 mutant of Arabidopsis is a novel chlorate-resistant mutant that displays long hypocotyls in red light, but not in far red or blue light, and is delayed in the greening process. In cotyledons and young leaves, plastids are less developed compared with those of the wild type. In addition, a subset of light-regulated genes are under-expressed in this mutant. To understand the pleiotropic phenotypes of cr88, we isolated the CR88 gene through map-based cloning. We found that CR88 encodes a chloroplast-targeted 90-kDa heat shock protein (HSP90). The CR88 gene is expressed at highest levels during early post-germination stages and in leaves and reproductive organs. It is constitutively expressed but is also light and heat shock inducible. Chloroplast import experiments showed that the protein is localized to the stroma compartment of the chloroplast. The possible function of an HSP90 in the chloroplast and a plausible explanation of the pleiotropic phenotypes observed in cr88 are discussed.

Abstract
In this work we have further characterized the first mitochondrial nucleoside diphosphate kinase (mtNDPK) isolated from plants. The mitochondrial isoform was found to be especially abundant in reproductive and young tissues. Expression of the pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Oregon sugarpod) mtNDPK was not affected by different stress conditions. However, the pea mtNDPK was found to interact with a novel 86-kD protein, which is de novo synthesized in pea leaves upon exposure to heat. Thus, we have evidence for the involvement of mtNDPK in mitochondrial heat response in pea in vivo. Studies on oligomerization revealed that mtNDPK was found in complexes of various sizes, corresponding to the sizes of e.g. hexamers, tetramers, and dimers, indicating flexibility in oligomerization. This flexibility, also found for other NDPK isoforms, has been correlated with the ability of this enzyme to interact with other proteins. We believe that the mtNDPK is involved in heat stress response in pea, possibly as a modulator of the 86-kD protein.

Abstract
We have identified maize (Zea mays L. inbred B73) mitochondrial homologs of the Escherichia coli molecular chaperones DnaK (HSP70) and GroEL (cpn60) using two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblots. During heat stress (42 degrees C for 4 h), levels of HSP70 and cpn60 proteins did not change significantly. In contrast, levels of two 22-kD proteins increased dramatically (HSP22). Monoclonal antibodies were developed to maize HSP70, cpn60, and HSP22. The monoclonal antibodies were characterized with regard to their cross-reactivity to chloroplastic, cytosolic, and mitochondrial fractions, and to different plant species. Expression of mitochondrial HSP22 was evaluated with regard to induction temperature, time required for induction, and time required for degradation upon relief of stress. Maximal HSP22 expression occurred in etiolated seedling mitochondria after 5 h of a +13 degrees C heat stress. Upon relief of heat stress, the HSP22 proteins disappeared with a half-life of about 4 h and were undetectable after 21 h of recovery. Under continuous heat-stress conditions, the level of HSP22 remained high. A cDNA for maize mitochondrial HSP22 was cloned and extended to full length with sequences from an expressed sequence tag database. Sequence analysis indicated that HSP22 is a member of the plant small heat-shock protein superfamily.

Abstract
Changes in the level of the mitochondrial chaperone mtHSP70 have been investigated in pea (Pisum sativum) leaf mitochondria by Western blot analysis and quantified by scanning densitometry. As pea leaves develop (from 6 days to 30 days of age) the levels of mtHSP70 decrease. Analysis of the levels of the alpha subunit of the F1ATPase show that the levels of this protein remain constant throughout the same developmental period, whereas the levels of the alternative oxidase increase. In vitro import of the alternative oxidase precursor protein into pea leaf mitochondria from day 6 to day 30 leaves and quantification by scanning densitometry indicates that protein import efficiency decreases with increasing maturity of the plant cell. Results are discussed in terms of how changing levels of the mtHSP70 chaperone, as a result of plant cell development, influence the efficiency of protein import.

Abstract
The key enzyme of chlorophyll biosynthesis in higher plants, NADPH:protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) oxidoreductase (POR, EC 1.3.1.33), accumulates in its precursor form (pPORA) in barley. pPORA is bound to the chloroplasts and is able to interact with the enzyme's substrate, Pchlide, at both the cytosolic as well as the stromal side of the plastid envelope. The interaction with intraplastidic Pchlide, formed in ATP-containing chloroplasts upon feeding with -aminolevulinic acid, drives vectorial translocation of pPORA across the plastid envelope membranes. In contrast, exogenously applied Pchlide causes the release of the envelope-bound precursor protein to the cytosol. Both processes compete with each other if intra- and extraplastidic Pchlide are applied simultaneously. A cytosolic heat shock cognate protein of Mr 70,000 present in wheat germ and barley leaf protein extracts appears to prevent the release of the pPORA to the cytosol in vivo, however.

Abstract
Protein folding in vivo is mediated by an array of proteins that act either as 'foldases' or 'molecular chaperones'. Foldases include protein disulfide isomerase and peptidyl prolyl isomerase, which catalyze the rearrangement of disulfide bonds or isomerization of peptide bonds around Pro residues, respectively. Molecular chaperones are a diverse group of proteins, but they share the property that they bind substrate proteins that are in unstable, non-native structural states. The best understood chaperone systems are HSP70/DnaK and HSP60/GroE, but considerable data support a chaperone role for other proteins, including HSP100, HSP90, small HSPs and calnexin. Recent research indicates that many, if not all, cellular proteins interact with chaperones and/or foldases during their lifetime in the cell. Different chaperone and foldase systems are required for synthesis, targeting, maturation and degradation of proteins in all cellular compartments. Thus, these diverse proteins affect an exceptionally broad array of cellular processes required for both normal cell function and survival of stress conditions. This review summarizes our current understanding of how these proteins function in plants, with a major focus on those systems where the most detailed mechanistic data are available, or where features of the chaperone/foldase system or substrate proteins are unique to plants.

Molecular chaperones are a diverse group of proteins, but they share the property that they bind substrate proteins that are in unstable, non-native structural states. The best understood chaperone systems are HSP70/DnaK and HSP60/GroE, but considerable data support a chaperone role for other proteins, including HSP100, HSP90, small HSPs and calnexin. Recent research indicates that many, if not all, cellular proteins interact with chaperones and/or foldases during their lifetime in the cell. Different chaperone and foldase systems are required for synthesis, targeting, maturation and degradation of proteins in all cellular compartments. Thus, these diverse proteins affect an exceptionally broad array of cellular processes required for both normal cell function and survival of stress conditions. This review summarizes our current understanding of how these proteins function in plants, with a major focus on those systems where the most detailed mechanistic data are available, or where features of the chaperone/foldase system or substrate proteins are unique to plants.

Abstract
The nuclear heat shock gene HSP70B of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is inducible by heat stress and light. Induction by either environmental cue resulted in a transient elevation in HSP70B protein. Here we describe the organization and nucleotide sequence of the HSP70B gene. The deduced protein exhibits a distinctly higher homology to prokaryotic HSP70s than to those of eukaryotes, including the cytosolic HSP70A of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The HSP70B protein, as previously demonstrated by in vitro translation, is synthesized with a cleavable presequence. Using an HSP70B-specific antibody, this heat shock protein was localized to the chloroplast by cell fractionation experiments. A stromal location was suggested by the presence of a conserved sequence motif used for cleavage of presequences by a signal peptidase of the stroma. Amino acid alignments of HSP70 proteins from various organisms and different cellular compartments allowed the identification of sequence motifs, which are diagnostic for HSP70s of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria.

Abstract
In this study we have analysed the multigene family coding for the cytoplasmic heat shock 70 kDa proteins (hsp70) in Zea mays. Fully degenerate primers were used in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify selected regions of the hsp70 genes. Sequence and Southern blot analysis reveals that at least three highly conserved genes exist in maize. In addition, amplification reveals the presence of a conserved intron in all genes examined. Expression analysis shows that the hsp70 genes studied represent members of the inducible and constitutive families. The results obtained may indicate that there are subfamilies of cytoplasmic hsp70 genes expressed in higher plants.

Abstract
The fractionation of cells of a parsley suspension culture [Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) A. Hill] by protoplasting and subsequent removal of the vacuoles led to physiologically intact evacuolated protoplasts retaining light inducibility of chalcone synthase expression. Lysis of the evacuolated protoplasts permitted the isolation of a pure, highly concentrated cytosolic fraction containing major cytosolic membranes but only minor contamination by proplastids, mitochondria, and nuclei. Short-time irradiations of the cytosol with red or UV-containing white light resulted in very fast changes of the phosphorylation pattern of 18-, 40-, 48-, 55- to 70-, and 120-kDa proteins. Major differences were observed between the phosphorylation patterns obtained by red or UV-containing white light treatment, indicating a different primary action of the excited photoreceptors in vitro. Separation of the microsomal fraction from the cytosolic matrix established the localization of these proteins. Chase and photoreversibility experiments revealed that phytochrome in vitro regulates the phosphorylation of the 40-kDa protein by modifying a soluble cytosolic kinase/phosphatase system.
