Basu S, Kumar G. Regulation of nitro-oxidative homeostasis: an effective approach to enhance salinity tolerance in plants. PLANT CELL REPORTS 2024; 43:193. [PMID: 39008125 DOI: 10.1007/s00299-024-03275-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Soil salinity is a major constraint for sustainable agricultural productivity, which together with the incessant climate change may be transformed into a severe threat to the global food security. It is, therefore, a serious concern that needs to be addressed expeditiously. The overproduction and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are the key events occurring during salt stress, consequently employing nitro-oxidative stress and programmed cell death in plants. However, very sporadic studies have been performed concerning different aspects of nitro-oxidative stress in plants under salinity stress. The ability of plants to tolerate salinity is associated with their ability to maintain the cellular redox equilibrium mediated by both non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidant defense mechanisms. The present review emphasizes the mechanisms of ROS and RNS generation in plants, providing a detailed evaluation of how redox homeostasis is conserved through their effective removal. The uniqueness of this article stems from its incorporation of expression analyses of candidate genes for different antioxidant enzymes involved in ROS and RNS detoxification across various developmental stages and tissues of rice, utilizing publicly available microarray data. It underscores the utilization of modern biotechnological methods to improve salinity tolerance in crops, employing different antioxidants as markers. The review also explores how various transcription factors contribute to plants' ability to tolerate salinity by either activating or repressing the expression of stress-responsive genes. In summary, the review offers a thorough insight into the nitro-oxidative homeostasis strategy for extenuating salinity stress in plants.

The thioredoxin h-type TdTrxh2 protein of durum wheat confers abiotic stress tolerance of the transformant Arabidopsis plants through its protective role and the regulation of redox homoeostasis. PROTOPLASMA 2024; 261:317-331.

Abstract
The thioredoxins (Trxs) are ubiquitous and they play a crucial role in various biological processes like growth and stress response. Although the functions of Trxs proteins are described in several previous reports, the function of the isoform Trxh2 of durum wheat (Triticum durum L.), designated as TdTrxh2, in abiotic stress response still unknown. Thus, we aimed in this study the functional characterization of TdTrxh2 through its expression in yeast cells and Arabidopsis plants. Sequence analysis revealed that TdTrxh2 protein shared the conserved redox site with the other Trxh from other plant species. Under various abiotic stresses, TdTrxh2 was up-regulated in leaves and roots of durum wheat. Interestingly, we demonstrated that TdTrxh2 exhibit protective effect on LDH activity against various treatments. Besides, the expression of TdTrxh2 in yeast cells conferred their tolerance to multiple stresses. Moreover, transgenic Arabidopsis expressing TdTrxh2 showed tolerance phenotype to several abiotic stresses. This tolerance was illustrated by high rate of proline accumulation, root proliferation, low accumulation of reactive oxygen species like H2O2 and O2·-, and high antioxidant CAT and POD enzymes activities. All these findings suggested that TdTrxh2 promotes abiotic stress tolerance through the redox homoeostasis regulation and its protective role.

Abstract
Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is susceptible to nutrient stresses during growth and development; however, the CPA (cation proton antiporter) family genes have not been identified in B. napus and their biological functions remain unclear. This study was aimed to identify the molecular characteristics of rapeseed CPAs and their transcriptional responses to multiple nutrient stresses. Through bioinformatics analysis, 117 BnaCPAs, consisting of three subfamilies: Na+/H+ antiporter (NHX), K+ efflux antiporter (KEA), and cation/H+ antiporter (CHX), were identified in the rapeseed genome. Transcriptomic profiling showed that BnaCPAs, particularly BnaNHXs, were transcriptionally responsive to diverse nutrient stresses, including Cd toxicity, K starvation, salt stress, NH4+ toxicity, and low Pi. We found that the salt tolerance of the transgenic rapeseed lines overexpressing BnaA05.NHX2 was significantly higher than that of wild type. Subcellular localization showed that BnaA05.NHX2 was localized on the tonoplast, and TEM combined with X-ray energy spectrum analysis revealed that the vacuolar Na+ concentrations of the BnaA05.NHX2-overexpressing rapeseed plants were significantly higher than those of wild type. The findings of this study will provide insights into the complexity of the BnaCPA family and a valuable resource to explore the in-depth functions of CPAs in B. napus.

Abstract
Climate change adversely affects the water and temperature conditions required for plant growth, leading to a decrease in yield. In high temperatures, oxidative stress causes cellular damage in plant cells, which is a negative factor for crop production. Thioredoxin (Trx) is a small redox protein containing a conserved WC(G/P)PC motif that catalyzes the exchange of disulfide bonds. It is known to play an important role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. Trx proteins are widely distributed across various subcellular locations, and they play a crucial role in responding to cellular stresses. In this study, seven CaTrxh-type genes present in pepper were identified and the CaTrxh-type family was classified into three subgroups. CaTrxh genes responded to heat stress. Moreover, subcellular locations of the CaTrxh family exhibited dynamic patterns in normal conditions, and we observed relocalizations in heat stress conditions. Each CaTrxh family protein member formed homo-/heteromeric protein complexes in BiFC assay. Unexpectedly, subgroup III CaTrxh9 and CaTrxh10 can recruit subgroup I and II CaTrxh proteins into the plasma membrane. Thus, the function of the CaTrxh-type family is expected to play a protective role in the cell in response to high-temperature stress via protein complex formations. CaTrxh may have potential applications in the development of crops with enhanced tolerance to oxidative stress.

Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Adzuki Beans ( Vigna angularis): Insights into Environmental Adaptation and Early Breeding Strategies for Yield Improvement. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:4154. [PMID: 38140482 PMCID: PMC10747723 DOI: 10.3390/plants12244154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Adzuki beans are widely cultivated in East Asia and are one of the earliest domesticated crops. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the genetic diversity and domestication history of adzuki beans, we conducted Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS) analysis on 366 landraces originating from Korea, China, and Japan, resulting in 6586 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Population structure analysis divided these 366 landraces into three subpopulations. These three subpopulations exhibited distinctive distributions, suggesting that they underwent extended domestication processes in their respective regions of origin. Phenotypic variance analysis of the three subpopulations indicated that the Korean-domesticated subpopulation exhibited significantly higher 100-seed weights, the Japanese-domesticated subpopulation showed significantly higher numbers of grains per pod, and the Chinese-domesticated subpopulation displayed significantly higher numbers of pods per plant. We speculate that these differences in yield-related traits may be attributed to varying emphases placed by early breeders in these regions on the selection of traits related to yield. A large number of genes related to biotic/abiotic stress resistance and defense were found in most quantitative trait locus (QTL) for yield-related traits using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Genomic sliding window analysis of Tajima's D and a genetic differentiation coefficient (Fst) revealed distinct domestication selection signatures and genotype variations on these QTLs within each subpopulation. These findings indicate that each subpopulation would have been subjected to varied biotic/abiotic stress events in different origins, of which these stress events have caused balancing selection differences in the QTL of each subpopulation. In these balancing selections, plants tend to select genotypes with strong resistance under biotic/abiotic stress, but reduce the frequency of high-yield genotypes to varying degrees. These biotic/abiotic stressors impact crop yield and may even lead to selection purging, resulting in the loss of several high-yielding genotypes among landraces. However, this also fuels the flow of crop germplasms. Overall, balancing selection appears to have a more significant impact on the three yield-related traits compared to breeder-driven domestication selection. These findings are crucial for understanding the impact of domestication selection history on landraces and yield-related traits, aiding in the improvement of adzuki bean varieties.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 2 (HD2) proteins play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. This helps with the growth and development of plants and also plays a crucial role in responses to biotic and abiotic stress es. HD2s comprise a C2H2-type Zn2+ finger at their C-terminal and an HD2 label, deacetylation and phosphorylation sites, and NLS motifs at their N-terminal. In this study, a total of 27 HD2 members were identified, using Hidden Markov model profiles, in two diploid cotton genomes (Gossypium raimondii and Gossypium arboretum) and two tetraploid cotton genomes (Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense). These cotton HD2 members were classified into 10 major phylogenetic groups (I-X), of which group III was found to be the largest with 13 cotton HD2 members. An evolutionary investigation showed that the expansion of HD2 members primarily occurred as a result of segmental duplication in paralogous gene pairs. Further qRT-PCR validation of nine putative genes using RNA-Seq data suggested that GhHDT3D.2 exhibits significantly higher levels of expression at 12h, 24h, 48h, and 72h of exposure to both drought and salt stress conditions compared to a control measure at 0h. Furthermore, gene ontology, pathways, and co-expression network study of GhHDT3D.2 gene affirmed their significance in drought and salt stress responses.

Abstract
Cold stress is a key environmental factor affecting plant growth and development, crop productivity, and geographic distribution. Thioredoxins (Trxs) are small proteins that are ubiquitously expressed in all organisms and implicated in several cellular processes, including redox reactions. However, their role in the regulation of cold stress in the halophyte plant Lobularia maritima remains unknown. We recently showed that overexpression of LmTrxh2, which is the gene that encodes the h-type Trx protein previously isolated from L. maritima, led to an enhanced tolerance to salt and osmotic stress in transgenic tobacco. This study functionally characterized the LmTrxh2 gene via its overexpression in tobacco and explored its cold tolerance mechanisms. Results of the RT-qPCR and western blot analyses indicated differential temporal and spatial regulation of LmTrxh2 in L. maritima under cold stress at 4 °C. LmTrxh2 overexpression enhanced the cold tolerance of transgenic tobacco, as evidenced by increased germination rate, fresh weight and catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities; reduced malondialdehyde levels, membrane leakage, superoxide anion (O2-), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels; and higher retention of chlorophyll than in non-transgenic plants (NT). Furthermore, the transcript levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related genes (NtSOD and NtCAT1), stress-responsive late embryogenis abundant protein 5 (NtLEA5), early response to dehydration 10C (NtERD10C), DRE-binding proteins 1A (NtDREB1A), and cold-responsive (COR) genes (NtCOR15A, NtCOR47, and NtKIN1) were upregulated in transgenic lines compared with those in NT plants under cold stress, indicating that LmTrxh2 conferred cold stress tolerance by enhancing the ROS scavenging ability of plants, thus enabling them to maintain membrane integrity. These results suggest that LmTrxh2 promotes cold tolerance in tobacco and provide new insight into the improvement of cold-stress resistance to cold stress in non-halophyte plants and crops.

Functional Characterization of Sugar Beet M14 Antioxidant Enzymes in Plant Salt Stress Tolerance. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 12:antiox12010057.

Abstract
Salt stress can cause cellular dehydration, which induces oxidative stress by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants. They may play signaling roles and cause structural damages to the cells. To overcome the negative impacts, the plant ROS scavenging system plays a vital role in maintaining the cellular redox homeostasis. The special sugar beet apomictic monosomic additional M14 line (BvM14) showed strong salt stress tolerance. Comparative proteomics revealed that six antioxidant enzymes (glycolate oxidase (GOX), peroxiredoxin (PrxR), thioredoxin (Trx), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), and dehydroascorbate reductase3 (DHAR3)) in BvM14 were responsive to salt stress. In this work, the full-length cDNAs of genes encoding these enzymes in the redox system were cloned from the BvM14. Ectopic expression of the six genes reduced the oxidative damage of transgenic plants by regulating the contents of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA), ascorbic acid (AsA), and glutathione (GSH), and thus enhanced the tolerance of transgenic plants to salt stress. This work has charecterized the roles that the antioxidant enzymes play in the BvM14 response to salt stress and provided useful genetic resources for engineering and marker-based breeding of crops that are sensitive to salt stress.

Abstract
The thioredoxin (Trx) system plays a vital function in cellular antioxidative defense. However, little is known about Trx in tomato under excess nitrate. In this study, we isolated the tomato gene encoding h-type Trx gene (SlTrxh). The mRNA transcript of SlTrxh in roots and leaves of tomato was induced incrementally under excess nitrate for 24 h. Subcellular localization showed that SlTrxh might localize in the cytoplasm, nucleus and plasma membrane. Enzymatic activity characterization revealed that SlTrxh protein possesses the disulfide reductase function and Cysteine (Cys) 54 is important for its activity. Overexpressing SlTrxh in tobacco resulted in increasing seed germination rate, root length and decreasing H2O2 and O2- accumulation, compared with the wild type (WT) tobacco under nitrate stress. While overexpressing SlTrxhC54S (Cysteine 54 mutated to Serine) in tobacco showed decreased germination rate and root length compared with the WT after nitrate treatment. After nitrate stress treatment, SlTrxh overexpressing transgenic tobacco plants have lower malonaldehyde (MDA), H2O2 contents and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) accumulation, and higher mRNA transcript level of NtP5CS, NtDREB2, higher ratio of ASA/DHA and GSH/GSSG, higher activities of ascorbate peroxidase and NADP thioredoxin reductase. Besides, SlTrxh overexpressing plants showed higher tolerance to Methyl Viologen (MV) in the seed germination and seedling stage. The yeast two-hybrid, pull-down, Co-immunoprecipitation and Bimolecular luciferase complementation assay confirmed that SlTrxh physically interacted with tomato peroxiredoxin (SlPrx). These results suggest that SlTrxh contributes to maintaining ROS homeostasis under excess nitrate stress interacting with SlPrx and Cys54 is important for its enzyme activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salt stress is a major abiotic stress that limits plant growth, development and productivity. Studying the molecular mechanisms of salt stress tolerance may help to enhance crop productivity. Sugar beet monosomic addition line M14 exhibits tolerance to salt stress. RESULTS In this work, the changes in the BvM14 proteome and redox proteome induced by salt stress were analyzed using a multiplex iodoTMTRAQ double labeling quantitative proteomics approach. A total of 80 proteins were differentially expressed under salt stress. Interestingly, A total of 48 redoxed peptides were identified for 42 potential redox-regulated proteins showed differential redox change under salt stress. A large proportion of the redox proteins were involved in photosynthesis, ROS homeostasis and other pathways. For example, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase changed in its redox state after salt treatments. In addition, three redox proteins involved in regulation of ROS homeostasis were also changed in redox states. Transcription levels of eighteen differential proteins and redox proteins were profiled. (The proteomics data generated in this study have been submitted to the ProteomeXchange and can be accessed via username: reviewer_pxd027550@ebi.ac.uk, password: q9YNM1Pe and proteomeXchange# PXD027550.) CONCLUSIONS: The results showed involvement of protein redox modifications in BvM14 salt stress response and revealed the short-term salt responsive mechanisms. The knowledge may inform marker-based breeding effort of sugar beet and other crops for stress resilience and high yield.

Zhou T, Yue CP, Liu Y, Zhang TY, Huang JY, Hua YP. Multiomics reveal pivotal roles of sodium translocation and compartmentation in regulating salinity resistance in allotetraploid rapeseed. JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY 2021; 72:5687-5708.

Abstract
The large size and complexity of the allotetraploid rapeseed (Brassica napus) genome present huge challenges for understanding salinity resistance in this important crop. In this study, we identified two rapeseed genotypes with significantly different degrees of salinity resistance and examined the underlying mechanisms using an integrated analysis of phenomics, ionomics, genomics, and transcriptomics. Under salinity, a higher accumulation of osmoregulation substances and better root-system architecture was observed in the resistant genotype, H159, than in the sensitive one, L339. A lower shoot Na+ concentration and a higher root vacuolar Na+ concentration indicated lower root-to-shoot translocation and higher compartmentation in H159 than in L339. Whole-genome re-sequencing (WGRS) and transcriptome sequencing identified numerous DNA variants and differentially expressed genes involved in abiotic stress responses and ion transport. Combining ionomics with transcriptomics identified plasma membrane-localized BnaC2.HKT1;1 and tonoplast-localized BnaC5.NHX2 as the central factors regulating differential root xylem unloading and vacuolar sequestration of Na+ between the two genotypes. Identification of polymorphisms by WGRS and PCR revealed two polymorphic MYB-binding sites in the promoter regions that might determine the differential gene expression of BnaC2.HKT1;1 and BnaC5.NHX2. Our multiomics approach thus identified core transporters involved in Na+ translocation and compartmentation that regulate salinity resistance in rapeseed. Our results may provide elite gene resources for the improvement of salinity resistance in this crop, and our multiomics approach can be applied to other similar studies.

Abstract
Plant abiotic stresses negative affects growth and development, causing a massive reduction in global agricultural production. Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a major oilseed crop because of its economic value and oilseed production. However, its productivity has been reduced by many environmental adversities. Therefore, it is a prime need to grow rapeseed cultivars, which can withstand numerous abiotic stresses. To understand the various molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the abiotic stress tolerance and improvement in rapeseed, omics approaches have been extensively employed in recent years. This review summarized the recent advancement in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and their imploration in abiotic stress regulation in rapeseed. Some persisting bottlenecks have been highlighted, demanding proper attention to fully explore the omics tools. Further, the potential prospects of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for genome editing to assist molecular breeding in developing abiotic stress-tolerant rapeseed genotypes have also been explained. In short, the combination of integrated omics, genome editing, and speed breeding can alter rapeseed production worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum threatens oilseed rape cultivation, and the emergence of fungicide-resistant strains has led to control failures worldwide. Identifying novel chemical alternatives with different modes of action and high antifungal activities is thus crucial. Herein we evaluated the antifungal effects of 3-(2-pyridyl)methyl-2-(4-chlorphenyl)imino- thiazolidine (PMAS) on S. sclerotiorum to determine its efficacy for SSR management. RESULTS PMAS had an inhibitory effect on mycelial growth; the EC50 values were 17.83 and 21.15 μg mL-1 for the carbendazim-susceptible strain Ss01 and carbendazim-resistant strain Hm25, respectively. PMAS treatment changed the color of inhibited mycelia to green, and the hyphae were sustained in the undifferentiated stage. Cysteine supplementation made this green color disappear, whereas methionine enhanced the color. Moreover, PMAS treatment markedly inhibited oxalic acid biogenesis, increased free thiol content in mycelia, and weakened the activities of oxaloacetase and malate dehydrogenase, but had little effect on the activity of glyoxylate dehydrogenase. Cysteine could reverse the inhibitory effects of PMAS on mycelial morphogenesis and biochemical constituents, except thiol production. In the pot-culture experiment, PMAS showed a good protective effect, with the control efficacy being >91% on SSR. CONCLUSION PMAS appears to be an effective fungicide for SSR management. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
