The asymmetric expression of plasma membrane H +-ATPase family genes in response to pulvinus-driven leaf phototropism movement in Vitis vinifera. PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 2024; 176:e14380. [PMID: 38894644 DOI: 10.1111/ppl.14380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Phototropism movement is crucial for plants to adapt to various environmental changes. Plant P-type H+-ATPase (HA) plays diverse roles in signal transduction during cell expansion, regulation of cellular osmotic potential and stomatal opening, and circadian movement. Despite numerous studies on the genome-wide analysis of Vitis vinifera, no research has been done on the P-type H+-ATPase family genes, especially concerning pulvinus-driven leaf movement. In this study, 55 VvHAs were identified and classified into nine distinct subgroups (1 to 9). Gene members within the same subgroups exhibit similar features in motif, intron/exon, and protein tertiary structures. Furthermore, four pairs of genes were derived by segmental duplication in grapes. Cis-acting element analysis identified numerous light/circadian-related elements in the promoters of VvHAs. qRT-PCR analysis showed that several genes of subgroup 7 were highly expressed in leaves and pulvinus during leaf movement, especially VvHA14, VvHA15, VvHA16, VvHA19, VvHA51, VvHA52, and VvHA54. Additionally, we also found that the VvHAs genes were asymmetrically expressed on both sides of the extensor and flexor cell of the motor organ, the pulvinus. The expression of VvHAs family genes in extensor cells was significantly higher than that in flexor cells. Overall, this study serves as a foundation for further investigations into the functions of VvHAs and contributes to the complex mechanisms underlying grapevine pulvinus growth and development.

Abstract
WRKY transcription factors play an important role in the immune system and the innate defense response of plants. WRKY transcription factors have great feedback on nitrogen stress. In this study, bioinformatics was used to detect the WRKYs of Panax notoginseng (PnWRKYs). The response of PnWRKYs under nitrogen stress was also well studied. PnWRKYs were distributed on 11 chromosomes. According to PnWRKY and Arabidopsis thaliana WRKY (AtWRKY) domains, these PnWRKY proteins were divided into three groups by phylogenetic analysis. MEME analysis showed that almost every member contained motif 1 and motif 2. PlantCARE online predicted the cis-acting elements of the promoter. PnWRKY gene family members obtained 22 pairs of repeat fragments by collinearity analysis. The expression levels of PnWRKYs in different parts (roots, flowers, and leafs) were analyzed by the gene expression pattern. They reflected tissue-specific expressions. The qRT-PCR experiments were used to detect 74 PnWRKYs under nitrogen stress. The results showed that the expression levels of 8 PnWRKYs were significantly induced. The PnWRKY gene family may be involved in biotic/abiotic stresses and hormone induction. This study will not only lay the foundation to explore the functions of PnWRKYs but also provide candidate genes for the future improvement of P. notoginseng.

Comprehensive evolutionary analysis of growth-regulating factor gene family revealing the potential molecular basis under multiple hormonal stress in Gramineae crops. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1174955. [PMID: 37063175 PMCID: PMC10102486 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1174955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) are plant-specific transcription factors that contain two highly conserved QLQ and WRC domains, which control a range of biological functions, including leaf growth, floral organ development, and phytohormone signaling. However, knowledge of the evolutionary patterns and driving forces of GRFs in Gramineae crops is limited and poorly characterized. In this study, a total of 96 GRFs were identified from eight crops of Brachypodium distachyon, Hordeum vulgare, Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica, Oryza rufipogon, Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica, Setaria italic, Sorghum bicolor and Zea mays. Based on their protein sequences, the GRFs were classified into three groups. Evolutionary analysis indicated that the whole-genome or segmental duplication plays an essential role in the GRFs expansion, and the GRFs were negatively selected during the evolution of Gramineae crops. The GRFs protein function as transcriptional activators with distinctive structural motifs in different groups. In addition, the expression of GRFs was induced under multiple hormonal stress, including IAA, BR, GA3, 6BA, ABA, and MeJ treatments. Specifically, OjGRF11 was significantly induced by IAA at 6 h after phytohormone treatment. Transgenic experiments showed that roots overexpressing OjGRF11 were more sensitive to IAA and affect root elongation. This study will broaden our insights into the origin and evolution of the GRF family in Gramineae crops and will facilitate further research on GRF function.

Abstract
Histones are essential components of chromatin and play an important role in regulating gene transcription and participating in DNA replication. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of this gene family. In this study, we identified 37 CsHistones that were classified into five groups (H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). The closely linked subfamilies exhibited more similarity in terms of motifs and intron/exon numbers. Segmental duplication (SD) is the main driving force of cucumber CsHistones expansion. Analysis of cis-regulatory elements in the promoter region of CsHistones showed that CsHistones can respond to a variety of stresses. RNA-Seq analysis indicated that the expression of most CsHistones was associated with different stresses, including downy mildew, powdery mildew, wilt, heat, cold, salt stress, and waterlogging. Expression analysis showed that several genes of H3 group were highly expressed in different reproductive organs. Notably, CsCENH3 (CsHistone30) has the characteristics of a variant histone, and we demonstrated that CsCENH3 was localized on the nucleus and its proteins were expressed in centromere region. These findings provide valuable information for the identification and potential functions of Histone genes and ideas for the cultivation of CENH3-mediated haploid induction lines in cucumber.

Abstract
The growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has led to a better understanding of the underlying processes that lead to this expansion. Intensive pig farms are considered one of the hotspots for antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) transmission. Phages, as important mobile carriers of ARGs, are widespread in the animal intestine. However, our understanding of phage-associated ARGs in the pig intestine and their underlying drivers is limited. Here, metagenomic sequencing and analysis of viral DNA and total DNA of different intestinal (ileum, cecum and feces) contents in healthy piglets and piglets with diarrhea were separately conducted. We found that phages in piglet ceca are the main repository for ARGs and mobile genetic element (MGE) genes. Phage-associated MGEs are important factors affecting the maintenance and transfer of ARGs. Interestingly, the colocalization of ARGs and MGE genes in piglet gut phages does not appear to be randomly selected but rather related to a specific phage host (Streptococcus). In addition, in the feces of piglets with diarrhea, the abundance of phages carrying ARGs and MGE genes was significantly increased, as was the diversity of polyvalent phages (phages with broad host ranges), which would facilitate the transfection and wider distribution of ARGs in the bacterial community. Moreover, the predicted host spectrum of polyvalent phages in diarrheal feces tended to be potential enteropathogenic genera, which greatly increased the risk of enteropathogens acquiring ARGs. Notably, we also found ARG-homologous genes in the sequences of piglet intestinal mimiviruses, suggesting that the piglet intestinal mimiviruses are a potential repository of ARGs. In conclusion, this study greatly expands our knowledge of the piglet gut microbiome, revealing the underlying mechanisms of maintenance and dissemination of piglet gut ARGs and providing a reference for the prevention and control of ARG pollution in animal husbandry.

Abstract
Lentinula edodes (L. edodes), one of the most popular edible mushrooms in China, is adversely affected by high temperature. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play a crucial role in regulating the defense responses against the abiotic stresses in L. edodes. Some HSPs in L. edodes have been described previously, but a genome-wide analysis of these proteins is still lacking. Here, the HSP genes across the entire genome of the L. edodes mushroom were identified. The 34 LeHSP genes were subsequently classified into six subfamilies according to their molecular weights and the phylogenetic analysis. Sequence analysis showed that LeHSP proteins from the same subfamily have conserved domains and one to five similar motifs. Except for Chr 5 and 9, 34 LeHSPs genes were distributed on the other eight chromosomes. Three pairs of paralogs were identified because of sequence alignment and were confirmed as arising from segmental duplication. In LeHSPs' promoters, different numbers of heat shock elements (HSEs) were predicted. The expression profiles of LeHSPs in 18N44 and 18 suggested that the thermo-tolerance of strain 18N44 might be related to high levels of LeHSPs transcript in response to heat stress. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis of the 16 LeHSP genes in strains Le015 and Le027 verified their stress-inducible expression patterns under heat stress. Therefore, these comprehensive findings provide useful in-depth information on the evolution and function of LeHSPs and lay a theoretical foundation in breeding thermotolerant L. edodes varieties.

Abstract
The myeloblastosis (MYB) gene family, involved in regulating many important physiological and biochemical processes, is one of the largest transcript factor superfamilies in plants. Since the identification of genome sequencing of Panax notoginseng has been completed, there was little known about the whole genome of its specific MYB gene family and the response to abiotic stresses, in consideration of the excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers in P. notoginseng. In this study, 123 PnMYB genes (MYB genes of P. notoginseng) have been identified and divided into 3 subfamilies by the phylogenetic analysis. These PnMYB genes were unevenly located on 12 chromosomes. Meanwhile, the gene structure and protein conserved domain were established by MEME Suite. The analysis of collinear relationships reflected that there were 121 homologous genes between P. notoginseng and Arabidopsis and 30 between P. notoginseng and rice. Moreover, cis-acting elements of PnMYB gene promoters were predicted which indicated that PnMYBs are involved in biotic, abiotic stress, and hormone induction. The expressions of PnMYB transcription factors in its roots, flowers, and leaves were detected by qRT-PCR and they had tissue-specific expressions and related to the growth of different tissues. Under nitrogen stress, MYB transcription factors had great feedback. Ten R2R3-MYB subfamily genes were significantly induced and indicated the possible function of protecting P. notoginseng from excess nitrogen. With further knowledge on identification of PnMYB gene related to tissue selectivity and abiotic stresses, this study laid the foundation for the functional development of PnMYB gene family and improved the cultivation of P. notoginseng.

Ke Y, Xu M, Hwarari D, Chen J, Yang L. Genomic Survey of Heat Shock Proteins in Liriodendron chinense Provides Insight into Evolution, Characterization, and Functional Diversities. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232315051. [PMID: 36499378 PMCID: PMC9739435 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232315051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are conserved molecular chaperones whose main role is to facilitate the regulation of plant growth and stress responses. The HSP gene family has been characterized in most plants and elucidated as generally stress-induced, essential for their cytoprotective roles in cells. However, the HSP gene family has not yet been analyzed in the Liriodendron chinense genome. In current study, 60 HSP genes were identified in the L. chinense genome, including 7 LchiHSP90s, 23 LchiHSP70s, and 30 LchiHSP20s. We investigated the phylogenetic relationships, gene structure and arrangement, gene duplication events, cis-acting elements, 3D-protein structures, protein-protein interaction networks, and temperature stress responses in the identified L. chinense HSP genes. The results of the comparative phylogenetic analysis of HSP families in 32 plant species showed that LchiHSPs are closely related to the Cinnamomum kanehirae HSP gene family. Duplication events analysis showed seven segmental and six tandem duplication events that occurred in the LchiHSP gene family, which we speculated to have played an important role in the LchiHSP gene expansion and evolution. Furthermore, the Ka/Ks analysis indicated that these genes underwent a purifying selection. Analysis in the promoter region evidenced that the promoter region LchiHSPs carry many stress-responsive and hormone-related cis-elements. Investigations in the gene expression patterns of the LchiHSPs using transcriptome data and the qRT-PCR technique indicated that most LchiHSPs were responsive to cold and heat stress. In total, our results provide new insights into understanding the LchiHSP gene family function and their regulatory mechanisms in response to abiotic stresses.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Profiling of Heat Shock Protein 20 Gene Family in Sorbus pohuashanensis (Hance) Hedl under Abiotic Stress. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13122241. [PMID: 36553508 PMCID: PMC9778606 DOI: 10.3390/genes13122241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (HSP20s) are a significant factor in plant growth and development in response to abiotic stress. In this study, we investigated the role of HSP20s' response to the heat stress of Sorbus pohuashanensis introduced into low-altitude areas. The HSP20 gene family was identified based on the genome-wide data of S. pohuashanensis, and the expression patterns of tissue specificity and the response to abiotic stresses were evaluated. Finally, we identified 38 HSP20 genes that were distributed on 16 chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis of HSP20s showed that the closest genetic relationship to S. pohuashanensis (SpHSP20s) is Malus domestica, followed by Populus trichocarpa and Arabidopsis thaliana. According to phylogenetic analysis and subcellular localization prediction, the 38 SpHSP20s belonged to 10 subfamilies. Analysis of the gene structure and conserved motifs indicated that HSP20 gene family members are relatively conserved. Synteny analysis showed that the expansion of the SpHSP20 gene family was mainly caused by segmental duplication. In addition, many cis-acting elements connected with growth and development, hormones, and stress responsiveness were found in the SpHSP20 promoter region. Analysis of expression patterns showed that these genes were closely related to high temperature, drought, salt, growth, and developmental processes. These results provide information and a theoretical basis for the exploration of HSP20 gene family resources, as well as the domestication and genetic improvement of S. pohuashanensis.

Phylogenetic and Transcriptional Analyses of the HSP20 Gene Family in Peach Revealed That PpHSP20-32 Is Involved in Plant Height and Heat Tolerance. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810849. [PMID: 36142761 PMCID: PMC9501816 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The heat shock protein 20 (HSP20) proteins comprise an ancient, diverse, and crucial family of proteins that exists in all organisms. As a family, the HSP20s play an obvious role in thermotolerance, but little is known about their molecular functions in addition to heat acclimation. In this study, 42 PpHSP20 genes were detected in the peach genome and were randomly distributed onto the eight chromosomes. The primary modes of gene duplication of the PpHSP20s were dispersed gene duplication (DSD) and tandem duplication (TD). PpHSP20s in the same class shared similar motifs. Based on phylogenetic analysis of HSP20s in peach, Arabidopsis thaliana, Glycine max, and Oryza sativa, the PpHSP20s were classified into 11 subclasses, except for two unclassified PpHSP20s. cis-elements related to stress and hormone responses were detected in the promoter regions of most PpHSP20s. Gene expression analysis of 42 PpHSP20 genes revealed that the expression pattern of PpHSP20-32 was highly consistent with shoot length changes in the cultivar 'Zhongyoutao 14', which is a temperature-sensitive semi-dwarf. PpHSP20-32 was selected for further functional analysis. The plant heights of three transgenic Arabidopsis lines overexpressing PpHSP20-32 were significantly higher than WT, although there was no significant difference in the number of nodes. In addition, the seeds of three over-expressing lines of PpHSP20-32 treated with high temperature showed enhanced thermotolerance. These results provide a foundation for the functional characterization of PpHSP20 genes and their potential use in the growth and development of peach.

Hu P, Ren Y, Xu J, Wei Q, Song P, Guan Y, Gao H, Zhang Y, Hu H, Li C. Identification of ankyrin-transmembrane-type subfamily genes in Triticeae species reveals TaANKTM2A-5 regulates powdery mildew resistance in wheat. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:943217. [PMID: 35937376 PMCID: PMC9353636 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.943217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The ankyrin-transmembrane (ANKTM) subfamily is the most abundant subgroup of the ANK superfamily, with critical roles in pathogen defense. However, the function of ANKTM proteins in wheat immunity remains largely unexplored. Here, a total of 381 ANKTMs were identified from five Triticeae species and Arabidopsis, constituting five classes. Among them, class a only contains proteins from Triticeae species and the number of ANKTM in class a of wheat is significantly larger than expected, even after consideration of the ploidy level. Tandem duplication analysis of ANKTM indicates that Triticum urartu, Triticum dicoccoides and wheat all had experienced tandem duplication events which in wheat-produced ANKTM genes all clustered in class a. The above suggests that not only did the genome polyploidization result in the increase of ANKTM gene number, but that tandem duplication is also a mechanism for the expansion of this subfamily. Micro-collinearity analysis of Triticeae ANKTMs indicates that some ANKTM type genes evolved into other types of ANKs in the evolution process. Public RNA-seq data showed that most of the genes in class d and class e are expressed, and some of them show differential responses to biotic stresses. Furthermore, qRT-PCR results showed that some ANKTMs in class d and class e responded to powdery mildew. Silencing of TaANKTM2A-5 by barley stripe mosaic virus-induced gene silencing compromised powdery mildew resistance in common wheat Bainongaikang58. Findings in this study not only help to understand the evolutionary process of ANKTM genes, but also form the basis for exploring disease resistance genes in the ANKTM gene family.

Gao T, Mo Z, Tang L, Yu X, Du G, Mao Y. Heat Shock Protein 20 Gene Superfamilies in Red Algae: Evolutionary and Functional Diversities. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:817852. [PMID: 35371130 PMCID: PMC8966773 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.817852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
Heat shock protein 20 (Hsp20) genes play important roles in plant growth, development, and response to environmental stress. However, the Hsp20 gene family has not yet been systematically investigated, and its function in red algae (Rhodophyta) remains poorly understood. Herein, we characterized Hsp20 gene families in red algae by studying gene structure, conserved motifs, phylogenetic relationships, chromosome location, gene duplication, cis-regulatory elements, and expression profiles. In this study, 97 Hsp20 genes were identified using bioinformatic methods and classified into 13 subfamilies based on phylogenetic relationships. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Hsp20 genes might have a polyphyletic origin and a complex evolutionary pattern. Gene structure analysis revealed that most Hsp20 genes possessed no introns, and all Hsp20 genes contained a conserved α-crystalline domain in the C-terminal region. Conserved motif analysis revealed that Hsp20 genes belonging to the same subfamily shared similar motifs. Gene duplication analysis demonstrated that tandem and segmental duplication events occurred in these gene families. Additionally, these gene families in red algae might have experienced strong purifying selection pressure during evolution, and Hsp20 genes in Pyropia yezoensis, Pyropia haitanensis, and Porphyra umbilicalis were highly evolutionarily conserved. The cis-elements of phytohormone-, light-, stress-responsive, and development-related were identified in the red algal Hsp20 gene promoter sequences. Finally, using Py. yezoensis, as a representative of red algae, the Hsp20 gene expression profile was explored. Based on the RNA-seq data, Py. yezoensis Hsp20 (PyyHsp20) genes were found to be involved in Py. yezoensis responses against abiotic and biotic stresses and exhibited diverse expression patterns. Moreover, PyyHsp20 is involved in Py. yezoensis growth and development and revealed spatial and temporal expression patterns. These results provide comprehensive and valuable information on Hsp20 gene families in red algae and lay a foundation for their functional characterization. In addition, our study provides new insights into the evolution of Hsp20 gene families in red algae and will help understand the adaptability of red algae to diverse environments.
