A Genome-Wide Analysis of the Jasmonic Acid Biosynthesis Gene Families in Peanut Reveals Their Crucial Roles in Growth and Abiotic Stresses. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7054. [PMID: 39000161 PMCID: PMC11241683 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Abiotic stress is a limiting factor in peanut production. Peanut is an important oil crop and cash crop in China. Peanut yield is vulnerable to abiotic stress due to its seeds grown underground. Jasmonic acid (JA) is essential for plant growth and defense against adversity stresses. However, the regulation and mechanism of the jasmonic acid biosynthesis pathway on peanut defense against abiotic stresses are still limitedly understood. In this study, a total of 64 genes encoding key enzymes of JA biosynthesis were identified and classified into lipoxygenases (AhLOXs), alleno oxide synthases (AhAOSs), allene oxide cyclases (AhAOCs), and 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (AhOPRs) according to gene structure, conserved motif, and phylogenetic feature. A cis-regulatory element analysis indicated that some of the genes contained stress responsive and hormone responsive elements. In addition to proteins involved in JA biosynthesis and signaling, they also interacted with proteins involved in lipid biosynthesis and stress response. Sixteen putative Ah-miRNAs were identified from four families targeting 35 key genes of JA biosynthesis. A tissue expression pattern analysis revealed that AhLOX2 was the highest expressed in leaf tissues, and AhLOX32 was the highest expressed in shoot, root, and nodule tissues. AhLOX16, AhOPR1, and AhOPR3 were up-regulated under drought stress. AhLOX16, AhAOS3, AhOPR1, and AhAOC4 had elevated transcript levels in response to cold stress. AhLOX5, AhLOX16, AhAOC3, AhOPR1, and AhOPR3 were up-regulated for expression under salt stress. Our study could provide a reference for the study of the abiotic stress resistance mechanism in peanut.

PLANT, CELL & ENVIRONMENT 2023.

Abstract
In plant, APETALA2/ethylene-responsive factor (AP2/ERF)-domain transcription factors are important in regulating abiotic stress tolerance. In this study, ZmEREB57 encoding a AP2/ERF transcription factor was identified and its function was investigated in maize. ZmEREB57 is a nuclear protein with transactivation activity induced by several abiotic stress types. Furthermore, two CRISPR/Cas9 knockout lines of ZmEREB57 showed enhanced sensitivity to saline conditions, whereas the overexpression of ZmEREB57 increased salt tolerance in maize and Arabidopsis. DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-Seq) analysis revealed that ZmEREB57 notably regulates target genes by binding to promoters containing an O-box-like motif (CCGGCC). ZmEREB57 directly binds to the promoter of ZmAOC2 involved in the synthesis of 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) and jasmonic acid (JA). Transcriptome analysis revealed that several genes involved in regulating stress and redox homeostasis showed differential expression patterns in OPDA- and JA-treated maize seedlings exposed to salt stress compared to those treated with salt stress alone. Analysis of mutants deficient in the biosynthesis of OPDA and JA revealed that OPDA functions as a signalling molecule in the salt response. Our results indicate that ZmEREB57 involves in salt tolerance by regulating OPDA and JA signalling and confirm early observations that OPDA signalling functions independently of JA signalling.

Identification and Characterization of Jasmonic Acid Biosynthetic Genes in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23169384. [PMID: 36012649 PMCID: PMC9409215 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23169384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Jasmonic acid (JA) is a vital plant hormone that performs a variety of critical functions for plants. Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (S. miltiorrhiza), also known as Danshen, is a renowned traditional Chinese medicinal herb. However, no thorough and systematic analysis of JA biosynthesis genes in S. miltiorrhiza exists. Through genome-wide prediction and molecular cloning, 23 candidate genes related to JA biosynthesis were identified in S. miltiorrhiza. These genes belong to four families that encode lipoxygenase (LOX), allene oxide synthase (AOS), allene oxide cyclase (AOC), and 12-OPDA reductase3 (OPR3). It was discovered that the candidate genes for JA synthesis of S. miltiorrhiza were distinct and conserved, in contrast to related genes in other plants, by evaluating their genetic structures, protein characteristics, and phylogenetic trees. These genes displayed tissue-specific expression patterns concerning to methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and wound tests. Overall, the results of this study provide valuable information for elucidating the JA biosynthesis pathway in S. miltiorrhiza by comprehensive and methodical examination.

Stress responsiveness of vindoline accumulation in Catharanthus roseus leaves is mediated through co-expression of allene oxide cyclase with pathway genes. PROTOPLASMA 2022; 259:755-773.

Abstract
Vindoline is an important alkaloid produced in Catharanthus roseus leaves. It is the more important monomer of the scarce and costly anticancer bisindole alkaloids, vincristine, and vinblastine, as unlike catharanthine (the other monomer), its biosynthesis is restricted to the leaves. Here, biotic (bacterial endophyte, phytoplasma, virus) and abiotic (temperature, salinity, SA, MeJa) factors were studied for their effect on vindoline accumulation in C. roseus. Variations in vindoline pathway-related gene expression were reflected in changes in vindoline content. Since allene oxide cyclase (CrAOC) is involved in jasmonate biosynthesis and MeJa modulates many vindoline pathway genes, the correlation between CrAOC expression and vindoline content was studied. It was taken up for full-length cloning, tissue-specific expression profiling, in silico analyses, and upstream genomic region analysis for cis-regulatory elements. Co-expression analysis of CrAOC with vindoline metabolism-related genes under the influence of aforementioned abiotic/biotic factors indicated its stronger direct correlation with the tabersonine-to-vindoline genes (t16h, omt, t3o, t3r, nmt, d4h, dat) as compared to the pre-tabersonine genes (tdc, str, sgd). Its expression was inversely related to that of downstream-acting peroxidase (prx) (except under temperature stress). Direct/positive relationship of CrAOC expression with vindoline content established it as a key gene modulating vindoline accumulation in C. roseus.

Abstract
Rhizosphere-competent microbes often interact with plant roots and exhibit beneficial effects on plant performance. Numerous bacterial and fungal isolates are able to prime host plants for fast adaptive responses against pathogen attacks. Combined action of fungi and bacteria may lead to synergisms exceeding effects of single strains. Individual beneficial fungi and bacteria have been extensively studied in Arabidopsis thaliana, but little is known about their concerted actions in the Brassicaceae. Here, an in-vitro system with oilseed rape (Brassica napus) was established. Roots of two different cultivars were inoculated with well-characterized fungal (Trichoderma harzianum OMG16) and bacterial (Bacillus velezensis FZB42) isolates alone or in combination. Microscopic analysis confirmed that OMG16 hyphae entered root hairs through root hair tips and formed distinct intracellular structures. Quantitative PCR revealed that root colonization of OMG16 increased up to 10-fold in the presence of FZB42. Relative transcript levels of the ethylene- and jasmonic acid-responsive genes PDF1.2, ERF2, and AOC3 were recorded in leaves by quantitative reverse transcription PCR to measure induced systemic resistance in tissues distant from the roots. Combined action of OMG16 and FZB42 induced transcript abundances more efficiently than single inoculation. Importantly, microbial priming reduced Verticillium longisporum root infection in rapeseed by approximately 100-fold compared with nonprimed plants. Priming also led to faster and stronger systemic responses of the defense genes PDF1.2, ERF2, AOC3, and VSP2.[Formula: see text] Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).

PLANT CELL REPORTS 2020; 39:1785-1801.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE An allene oxide cyclase gene which is involved in defense against biotic and abiotic stresses was cloned and characterized in sugarcane. Allene oxide cyclase (AOC), a key enzyme in jasmonate acid (JA) biosynthesis, affects the stereoisomerism and biological activity of JA molecules, and plays an important role in plant stress resistance. In this study, four SsAOC alleles (SsAOC1-SsAOC4), which shared similar gene structure and were located on Chr1A, Chr1B, Chr1C, and Chr1D, respectively, were mined from sugarcane wild species Saccharum spontaneum, and a homologous gene ScAOC1 (GenBank Accession Number: MK674849) was cloned from sugarcane hybrid variety Yacheng05-179 inoculated with Sporisorium scitamineum for 48 h. ScAOC1 and SsAOC1-SsAOC4 were alkaline, unstable, hydrophilic, and non-secretory proteins, which possess the same set of conserved motifs and were clustered into one group in the phylogenetic analysis. ScAOC1 was expressed in all sugarcane tissues, but with different levels. After infection by S. scitamineum, the transcripts of ScAOC1 were increased significantly both in the smut-susceptible (ROC22) and resistant (Yacheng05-179) varieties, but its transcripts were more accumulated and lasted for a longer period in the smut-resistant variety than in the smut-susceptible one. ScAOC1 was down-regulated under MeJA and NaCl treatments, but up-regulated under SA, ABA, PEG, and cold stresses. Transiently overexpressing ScAOC1 gene into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves regulated the responses of N. benthamiana to two pathogens Ralstonia solanacearum and Fusarium solani var. coeruleum. Furthermore, prokaryotic expression analysis showed overexpression of ScAOC1 in Escherichia coli BL21 could enhance its tolerance to NaCl, mannitol, and cold stimuli. These results indicated that ScAOC1 may play an active role in response to biotic and abiotic stresses in sugarcane.

Abstract
Cold stress adversely affects the growth and development of seedling of spring soybean. Revealing responses in seedling to cold stress at proteomic level will help us to breed cold-tolerant spring soybean cultivars. In this study, to understand the responses, a proteomic analysis on the leaves of seedlings of one cold-tolerant soybean cultivar and one cold-sensitive soybean cultivar at 5°C for different times (12 and 24 h) was performed, with some proteomic results being further validated by physiological and biochemical analysis. Our results showed that 57 protein spots were found to be significantly changed in abundance and identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. All the identified proteins were found to be involved in 13 metabolic pathways and cellular processes, including photosynthesis, protein folding and assembly, cell rescue and defense, cytoskeletal proteins, transcription and translation regulation, amino acid and nitrogen metabolism, protein degradation, storage proteins, signal transduction, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, energy metabolism, and unknown. Based on the majority of the identified cold-responsive proteins, the effect of cold stress on seedling leaves of the two spring soybean cultivars was discussed. The reason that soybean cv. Guliqing is more cold-tolerant than soybean cv. Nannong 513 was due to its more protein, lipid and polyamine biosynthesis, more effective sulfur-containing metabolite recycling, and higher photosynthetic rate, as well as less ROS production and lower protein proteolysis and energy depletion under cold stress. Such a result will provide more insights into cold stress responses and for further dissection of cold tolerance mechanisms in spring soybean.

Abstract
The interaction between soybeans and the destructive common cutworm insect is complicated. In this paper, the time course of induced responses to common cutworm was characterized in two soybean lines, and the results showed that the induced resistance peaked at different times in the resistant (WX) and susceptible (NN) soybean lines. Two sets of transcriptome profiles from the WX and NN lines at the peak of their induced resistance were compared using microarray analysis. In total, 827 and 349 transcripts were differentially expressed in the WX and NN lines, respectively, with 80 probes common regulated and seven regulated in the opposite direction. All common- and unique-regulated genes were grouped into 10 functional categories based on sequence similarity searches, which showed that most of the genes were related to stress and defence responses. qRT-PCR analysis of 22 genes confirmed the results of the microarray analysis. The spatiotemporal expression patterns of the six genes revealed the consistency of systemic expression levels with the timing of the resistance response observed in the bioassay experiments. In summary, we described the conceptual model of induced resistance in two soybean lines and provided the first large-scale survey of common cutworm-induced defence transcripts in soybean.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Jasmonates are important regulators in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses as well as in development. Synthesized from lipid-constituents, the initially formed jasmonic acid is converted to different metabolites including the conjugate with isoleucine. Important new components of jasmonate signalling including its receptor were identified, providing deeper insight into the role of jasmonate signalling pathways in stress responses and development. SCOPE The present review is an update of the review on jasmonates published in this journal in 2007. New data of the last five years are described with emphasis on metabolites of jasmonates, on jasmonate perception and signalling, on cross-talk to other plant hormones and on jasmonate signalling in response to herbivores and pathogens, in symbiotic interactions, in flower development, in root growth and in light perception. CONCLUSIONS The last few years have seen breakthroughs in the identification of JASMONATE ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) proteins and their interactors such as transcription factors and co-repressors, and the crystallization of the jasmonate receptor as well as of the enzyme conjugating jasmonate to amino acids. Now, the complex nature of networks of jasmonate signalling in stress responses and development including hormone cross-talk can be addressed.

Abstract
Leymus mollis (Triticeae; Poaceae) is a useful genetic resource for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding via wide hybridization to introduce its chromosomes and integrate its useful traits into wheat. Leymus mollis is highly tolerant to abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity and resistant to various diseases, but the genetic mechanisms controlling its physiological tolerance remain largely unexplored. We identified and cloned an allene oxide cyclase (AOC) gene from L. mollis that was strongly expressed under salt stress. AOC is involved in biosynthesis of jasmonic acid, an important signaling compound that mediates a wide range of adaptive responses. LmAOC cDNA consisted of 717 bp, coding for a protein with 238 amino acids that was highly similar to AOCs from barley (Hordeum vulgare) and other monocots. Subcellular localization using Nicotiana benthamiana confirmed it as a chloroplast-localized protein. LmAOC was found to be a multiple-copy gene, and that some copies were conserved and efficiently expressed in wheat-Leymus chromosome addition lines. LmAOC expression was upregulated under drought, heat, cold and wounding stresses, and by jasmonic acid and abscisic acid. Our results suggest that LmAOC plays an important role in L. mollis adaptation to abiotic stresses and it could be useful for wheat improvement.
