Abstract
Drought differs from other natural disasters in several respects, largely because of the complexity of a crop's response to it and also because we have the least understanding of a crop's inductive mechanism for addressing drought tolerance among all abiotic stressors. Overall, the growth and productivity of crops at a global level is now thought to be an issue that is more severe and arises more frequently due to climatic change-induced drought stress. Among the major crops, rice is a frontline staple cereal crop of the developing world and is critical to sustaining populations on a daily basis. Worldwide, studies have reported a reduction in rice productivity over the years as a consequence of drought. Plants are evolutionarily primed to withstand a substantial number of environmental cues by undergoing a wide range of changes at the molecular level, involving gene, protein and metabolite interactions to protect the growing plant. Currently, an in-depth, precise and systemic understanding of fundamental biological and cellular mechanisms activated by crop plants during stress is accomplished by an umbrella of -omics technologies, such as transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics. This combination of multi-omics approaches provides a comprehensive understanding of cellular dynamics during drought or other stress conditions in comparison to a single -omics approach. Thus a greater need to utilize information (big-omics data) from various molecular pathways to develop drought-resilient crop varieties for cultivation in ever-changing climatic conditions. This review article is focused on assembling current peer-reviewed published knowledge on the use of multi-omics approaches toward expediting the development of drought-tolerant rice plants for sustainable rice production and realizing global food security.

Whole-genome sequence data of Hypericum perforatum and functional characterization of melatonin biosynthesis by N-acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase. J Pineal Res 2021; 70:e12709. [PMID: 33315239 DOI: 10.1111/jpi.12709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2020] [Revised: 12/03/2020] [Accepted: 12/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Hypericum perforatum is among the most commonly used herbal remedies and supplements. The aerial plant parts are often used to treat depression. Due to the lack of genomic information of H. perforatum, the gene networks regulating secondary metabolite synthesis remain unclear. Here, we present a high-quality genome for H. perforatum with a 2.3-Mb scaffold N50. The draft assembly covers 91.9% of the predicted genome and represents the fourth sequenced genus in the order Malpighiales. Comparing this sequence with model or related species revealed that Populus trichocarpa and Hevea brasiliensis could be grouped into one branch, while H. perforatum and Linum usitatissimum are grouped in another branch. Combined with transcriptome data, 40 key genes related to melatonin, hyperforin, and hypericin synthesis were screened and analyzed. Five N-acetylserotonin O-methyltransferases (HpASMT1-HpASMT5) were cloned and functionally characterized. Purified HpASMT3 protein converted N-acetylserotonin into melatonin with a Vmax of about 1.35 pkat/mg protein. HpASMT1 and HpASMT3 overexpression in Arabidopsis mutants caused 1.5-2-fold higher melatonin content than in mutant and wild-type plants. The endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) in transgenic plants was significantly lower than ROS in mutant and wild-type plants, suggesting higher drought tolerance. The obtained genomic data offer new resources for further study on the evolution of Hypericaceae family, but also provide a basis for further study of melatonin biosynthetic pathways in other plants.

Abstract
We characterized the metabolites in grains of transgenic protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase-inhibiting herbicide-resistant rice and weedy accessions using GC-MS and examined whether the chemical composition of their hybrids differed from that of the parents. We found that the metabolite profiles of transgenic rice and weedy rice were clearly separated. Although the metabolite profiles of F2 progeny were partially separated from their parents, zygosity did not affect the profiles. The F2 progeny had similar or intermediate levels of most major nutritional components compared with their parents. However, levels of galactopyranose, trehalose, xylofuranose, mannitol, and benzoic acid were higher in the F2 progeny. Some fatty acids and organic acids also showed prominent quantitative differences between the F2 progeny and the parents. Changes in the metabolite levels of transgenic crop-weed hybrids compared to their parents might influence not only the ecological consequences of the hybrids, but also the nutritional quality and food safety.
