Abstract
The resinous stem of Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg is the sole legally authorized source of agarwood in China. However, whether other tissue parts can be potential substitutes for agarwood requires further investigation. In this study, we conducted metabolic analysis and transcriptome sequencing of six distinct tissues (root, stem, leaf, seed, husk, and callus) of A. sinensis to investigate the variations in metabolite distribution characteristics and transcriptome data across different tissues. A total of 331 differential metabolites were identified by chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), of which 22.96% were terpenoids. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in RNA sequencing were enriched in sesquiterpene synthesis via the mevalonate pathway. The present study establishes a solid foundation for exploring potential alternatives to agarwood.

Abstract
Sesquiterpenes are characteristic components and important quality criterions for agarwood. Although sesquiterpenes are well-known to be biosynthesized by sesquiterpene synthases (TPSs), to date, only a few TPS genes involved in agarwood formation have been reported. Here, two new TPS genes, namely, TPS9 and TPS12, were isolated from Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg, and their functions were examined in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), with farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) and geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) as the substrate of the corresponding enzyme activities. They were both identified as a multiproduct enzymes. After incubation with FPP, TPS9 liberated β-farnesene and cis-sesquisabinene hydrate as main products, with cedrol and another unidentified sesquiterpene as minor products. TPS12 catalyzes the formation of β-farnesene, nerolidol, γ-eudesmol, and hinesol. After incubation with GPP, TPS9 generated citronellol and geraniol as main products, with seven minor products. TPS12 converted GPP into four monoterpenes, with citral as the main product, and three minor products. Both TPS9 and TPS12 showed much higher expression in the two major tissues emitting floral volatiles: flowers and agarwood. Further, RT-PCR analysis showed TPS9 and TPS12 are typical genes mainly expressed during later stages of stress response, which is better known than that of chromone derivatives. This study will advance our understanding of agarwood formation and provide a solid theoretical foundation for clarifying its mechanism in A. sinensis.

Abstract
Jasmonate ZIM-domain family proteins (JAZs) are repressors in the signaling cascades triggered by jasmonates (JAs). It has been proposed that JAs play essential roles in the sesquiterpene induction and agarwood formation processes in Aquilaria sinensis. However, the specific roles of JAZs in A. sinensis remain elusive. This study employed various methods, including phylogenetic analysis, real-time quantitative PCR, transcriptomic sequencing, yeast two-hybrid assay, and pull-down assay, to characterize A. sinensis JAZ family members and explore their correlations with WRKY transcription factors. The bioinformatic analysis revealed twelve putative AsJAZ proteins in five groups and sixty-four putative AsWRKY transcription factors in three groups. The AsJAZ and AsWRKY genes exhibited various tissue-specific or hormone-induced expression patterns. Some AsJAZ and AsWRKY genes were highly expressed in agarwood or significantly induced by methyl jasmonate in suspension cells. Potential relationships were proposed between AsJAZ4 and several AsWRKY transcription factors. The interaction between AsJAZ4 and AsWRKY75n was confirmed by yeast two-hybrid and pull-down assays. This study characterized the JAZ family members in A. sinensis and proposed a model of the function of the AsJAZ4/WRKY75n complex. This will advance our understanding of the roles of the AsJAZ proteins and their regulatory pathways.

Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:464. [PMID: 36833391 PMCID: PMC9957285 DOI: 10.3390/genes14020464] [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: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Plants respond to wounding by reprogramming the expression of genes involved in secondary metabolism. Aquilaria trees produce many bioactive secondary metabolites in response to wounding, but the regulatory mechanism of agarwood formation in the early response to mechanical wounding has remained unclear. To gain insights into the process of transcriptome changes and to determine the regulatory networks of Aquilaria sinensis to an early response (15 days) to mechanical wounding, we collected A. sinensis samples from the untreated (Asc1) and treated (Asf1) xylem tissues and performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). This generated 49,102,523 (Asc1) and 45,180,981 (Asf1) clean reads, which corresponded to 18,927 (Asc1) and 19,258 (Asf1) genes, respectively. A total of 1596 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in Asf1 vs. Asc1 (|log2 (fold change)| ≥ 1, Padj ≤ 0.05), of which 1088 were up-regulated and 508 genes were down-regulated. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of DEGs showed that flavonoid biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and sesquiterpenoid and triterpenoid biosynthesis pathways might play important roles in wound-induced agarwood formation. Based on the transcription factor (TF)-gene regulatory network analysis, we inferred that the bHLH TF family could regulate all DEGs encoding for farnesyl diphosphate synthase, sesquiterpene synthase, and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS), which contribute to the biosynthesis and accumulation of agarwood sesquiterpenes. This study provides insight into the molecular mechanism regulating agarwood formation in A. sinensis, and will be helpful in selecting candidate genes for improving the yield and quality of agarwood.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that result in severe loss of supporting structures and substantial tooth loss. Oxidative stress is tightly involved in the progression of periodontitis. Tripartite Motif 16 (TRIM16) has been identified as a novel regulatory protein in response to oxidative and proteotoxic stresses. The present study aimed to investigate the role of TRIM16 in human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) under oxidative stress. First, we found that the expression of TRIM16 decreased after exposure to H2O2. Then TRIM16 overexpression alleviated H2O2-induced oxidative stress by enhancing antioxidant capacity and reducing the amount of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). TRIM16 increased cell viability, inhibited cell apoptosis and the depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential in hPDLSCs. Furthermore, TRIM16 attenuated H2O2-induced suppression of osteogenic differentiation. Mechanistically, TRIM16 promoted the activation of protein kinase C (PKC)-interacting cousin of thioredoxin (PICOT), p-Akt and Nrf2, while knockdown of PICOT reversed TRIM16-mediated ROS resistance and decreased the expression of p-Akt and Nrf2. In conclusion, TRIM16 alleviated oxidative damage in hPDLSCs via the activation of PICOT/Akt/Nrf2 pathway, suggesting that TRIM16 could be a promising target to develop effective therapies for periodontitis.

Abstract
Covering: Up to the end of 2019.Agarwood is a resinous portion of Aquilaria trees, which is formed in response to environmental stress factors such as physical injury or microbial attack. It is very sought-after among the natural incenses, as well as for its medicinal properties in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Interestingly, the chemical constituents of agarwood and healthy Aquilaria trees are quite different. Sesquiterpenes and 2-(2-phenethyl)chromones with diverse scaffolds commonly accumulate in agarwood. Similar structures have rarely been reported from the original trees that mainly contain flavonoids, benzophenones, xanthones, lignans, simple phenolic compounds, megastigmanes, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, steroids, alkaloids, etc. This review summarizes the chemical constituents and biological activities both in agarwood and Aquilaria trees, and their biosynthesis is discussed in order to give a comprehensive overview of the research progress on agarwood.

Abstract
The production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during programmed cell death (PCD) is still insufficiently studied and their implication in the process is not well understood. The present study demonstrates that the release of VOSCs with presumed antioxidant capacity (methanethiol, dimethylsulfide and dimethyldisulfide) accompanies the cell death in chemical-stressed tobacco BY-2 suspension cultured cells. The cells were exposed to cell death inducers of biotic nature mastoparan (MP, wasp venom) and camptothecin (CPT, alkaloid), and to the abiotic stress agent CdSO4. The VOCs emission was monitored by proton-transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS). The three chemicals induced PCD expressing apoptotic-like phenotype. The identified VOSCs were emitted in response to MP and CPT but not in presence of Cd. The VOSCs production occurred within few hours after the administration of the elicitors, peaked up when 20-50 % of the cells were dead and further levelled off with cell death advancement. This suggests that VOSCs with antioxidant activity may contribute to alleviation of cell death-associated oxidative stress at medium severity of cell death in response to the stress factors of biotic origin. The findings provide novel information about cell death defence mechanisms in chemical-challenged BY-2 cells and show that PCD related VOSCs synthesis depends on the type of inducer.

Abstract
Mechanical wounding is the major trigger for the formation of agarwood in the tropical tree taxon Aquilaria. To understand the molecular mechanism by which Aquilaria reacts to wounding, we applied a proteomics approach using liquid chromatography electrospray-ionization coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) coupled with bioinformatics analysis and principal component analysis. Protein samples were extracted from wood tissues collected from drilled wounds on the stems of five-year old Aquilaria malaccensis. Samples were collected at different time-points of 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h after mechanical wounding for protein identification. Venn diagram analysis showed that 564 out of 2227 identified proteins were time-point specific proteins. GO analysis using the REViGO software (including functional proteins) supported these findings. In total, 20 wound-response proteins and one unknown protein were identified as having important roles in the signaling response to wounding, response to stress, activation of plant defense systems, and plant regeneration. The detected biological processes include brassinosteroid stimulus, polyamine catabolism, hypersensitive response, response to cadmium ions, response to oxidative stress, and malate metabolism, suggesting that the wounded trees must have undergone major plant cell damage. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis indicated that several wound-response proteins were involved in agarwood formation. Our proteomics data thus provide useful information for understanding the wound response mechanisms that trigger agarwood formation. Mechanical wounding triggers agarwood synthesis pathways in Aquilaria malaccensis.![]()

Abstract
Agarwood, a non-timber fragrant wood, is produced in wounded Aquilaria trees and widely used in perfume, incense, and medicine. Sesquiterpene is one of its main active compounds. It has been demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a role in promoting agarwood sesquiterpene biosynthesis, but little is known about its signaling pathway. In this study, the pruning of actively growing saplings of A. sinensis resulted in an H2O2 burst and the accumulation of jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), and ethylene (ET), which was followed by the up-regulation of sesquiterpene synthase and the production of sesquiterpene in the pruned stems. This process could be enhanced by absorbed H2O2 and inhibited by an H2O2 scavenger (ascorbate, AsA) in pruned stems, although the concentration of ET and transcription of ET-related synthase genes remained unaffected. These results confirmed that the H2O2 burst in wounded stems triggered JA and SA accumulation to promote agarwood sesquiterpene biosynthesis. ET was also activated by injury that was independent with H2O2. All results excavated a full-scale signaling transduction nets among multiple stress signals during wound-induced agarwood production in A. sinensis and provide a new insight into improving the artificial technology of agarwood production.

Abstract
Agarwood is a resinous part of the non-timber Aquilaria tree, which is a highly valuable product for medicine and fragrance purposes. To protect the endangered Aquilaria species, mass plantation of Aquilaria trees has become a sustainable way in Asian countries to obtain the highly valuable agarwood. As only physiologically triggered Aquilaria tree can produce agarwood, effective induction methods are long sought in the agarwood industry. In this paper, we attempt to provide an overview for the past efforts toward the understanding of agarwood formation, the evolvement of induction methods and their further development prospects by integrating it with high-throughput omics approaches.

Abstract
Ginseng, the root and rhizome of Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., is a well-known and valuable traditional Chinese medicine. The pharmacological activities of ginseng are mainly attributed to the presence of ginsenosides, which are considered to be critical biomarkers for evaluating ginseng quality. The biosynthesis of triterpenes, which serve defensive functions in plants, is regulated by endogenous phytohormones that play key roles in growth and defense of plant populations. However, the role of major hormones that are closely related to secondary metabolism pathways in P. ginseng is poorly understood. To gain insight into their potential correlation, we performed a spatial synthesis analysis and studied the distribution of endogenous phytohormones and ginsenosides in different tissue regions of the entire P. ginseng plant. Gibberellins are growth hormones that accumulate in the fiber root. In contrast, abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonic acid (JA), which are considered stress hormones, were predominantly found in the leaf and leaf peduncle. We observed a tissue-specific distribution of phytohormones consistent with the expression of genes involved in hormone biosynthesis that influenced ginsenoside synthesis and distribution. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of different endogenous phytohormones on triterpene metabolites in ginseng innate immunity.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is steadily gaining more attention in the field of molecular biology research. It is a major REDOX (reduction⁻oxidation reaction) metabolite and at high concentrations induces oxidative damage to biomolecules, which can culminate in cell death. However, at concentrations in the low nanomolar range, H₂O₂ acts as a signalling molecule and in many aspects, resembles phytohormones. Though its signalling network in plants is much less well characterized than are those of its counterparts in yeast or mammals, accumulating evidence indicates that the role of H₂O₂-mediated signalling in plant cells is possibly even more indispensable. In this review, we summarize hydrogen peroxide metabolism in plants, the sources and sinks of this compound and its transport via peroxiporins. We outline H₂O₂ perception, its direct and indirect effects and known targets in the transcriptional machinery. We focus on the role of H₂O₂ in plant growth and development and discuss the crosstalk between it and phytohormones. In addition to a literature review, we performed a meta-analysis of available transcriptomics data which provided further evidence for crosstalk between H₂O₂ and light, nutrient signalling, temperature stress, drought stress and hormonal pathways.

Abstract
It is well established that oxidative stress is an important cause of cellular damage. During stress conditions, plants have evolved regulatory mechanisms to adapt to various environmental stresses. One of the consequences of stress is an increase in the cellular concentration of reactive oxygen species, which is subsequently converted to H2O2. H2O2 is continuously produced as the byproduct of oxidative plant aerobic metabolism. Organelles with a high oxidizing metabolic activity or with an intense rate of electron flow, such as chloroplasts, mitochondria, or peroxisomes are major sources of H2O2 production. H2O2 acts as a versatile molecule because of its dual role in cells. Under normal conditions, H2O2 immerges as an important factor during many biological processes. It has been established that it acts as a secondary messenger in signal transduction networks. In this review, we discuss potential roles of H2O2 and other signaling molecules during various stress responses.

Abstract
Agarwood, a highly valuable resinous and fragrant heartwood of Aquilaria plants, is widely used in traditional medicines, incense and perfume. Only when Aquilaria trees are wounded by external stimuli do they form agarwood sesquiterpene defensive compounds. Therefore, understanding the signaling pathway of wound-induced agarwood formation is important. Jasmonic acid (JA) is a well-characterized molecule that mediates a plant's defense response and secondary metabolism. However, little is known about the function of endogenous JA in agarwood sesquiterpene biosynthesis. Here, we report that heat shock can up-regulate the expression of genes in JA signaling pathway, induce JA production and the accumulation of agarwood sesquiterpene in A. sinensis cell suspension cultures. A specific inhibitor of JA, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), could block the JA signaling pathway and reduce the accumulation of sesquiterpene compounds. Additionally, compared to SA and H2O2, exogenously supplied methyl jasmonate has the strongest stimulation effect on the production of sesquiterpene compounds. These results clearly demonstrate the central induction role of JA in heat-shock-induced sesquiterpene production in A. sinensis.
