Abstract
Mangroves grow in tropical/subtropical intertidal habitats with extremely high salt tolerance. Trehalose and trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) have an alleviating function against abiotic stress. However, the roles of trehalose in the salt tolerance of salt-secreting mangrove Avicennia marina is not documented. Here, we found that trehalose was significantly accumulated in A. marina under salt treatment. Furthermore, exogenous trehalose can enhance salt tolerance by promoting the Na+ efflux from leaf salt gland and root to reduce the Na+ content in root and leaf. Subsequently, eighteen trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (AmTPS) and 11 trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (AmTPP) genes were identified from A. marina genome. Abscisic acid (ABA) responsive elements were predicted in AmTPS and AmTPP promoters by cis-acting elements analysis. We further identified AmTPS9A, as an important positive regulator, that increased the salt tolerance of AmTPS9A-overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana by altering the expressions of ion transport genes and mediating Na+ efflux from the roots of transgenic A. thaliana under NaCl treatments. In addition, we also found that ABA could promote the accumulation of trehalose, and the application of exogenous trehalose significantly promoted the biosynthesis of ABA in both roots and leaves of A. marina. Ultimately, we confirmed that AmABF2 directly binds to the AmTPS9A promoter in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, we speculated that there was a positive feedback loop between trehalose and ABA in regulating the salt tolerance of A. marina. These findings provide new understanding to the salt tolerance of A. marina in adapting to high saline environment at trehalose and ABA aspects.

Li X, Chen L, Liu T, Chen Y, Wang J, Song B. Integrated analysis of ATAC-seq and transcriptomic reveals the ScDof3-ScproC molecular module regulating the cold acclimation capacity of potato. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 210:108576. [PMID: 38608502 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.108576] [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: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Low temperature severely affects the geographical distribution and production of potato, which may incur cold damage in early spring or winter. Cultivated potatoes, mainly derived from Solanum tuberosum, are sensitive to freezing stress, but wild species of potato such as S. commersonii exhibit both constitutive freezing tolerance and/or cold acclimation tolerance. Hence, such wild species could assist in cold hardiness breeding. Yet the key transcription factors and their downstream functional genes that confer freezing tolerance are far from clear, hindering the breeding process. Here, we used ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing) alongside RNA-seq to investigate the variation in chromatin accessibility and patterns of gene expression in freezing-tolerant CMM5 (S. commersonii), before and after its cold treatment. Our results suggest that after exposure to cold, transcription factors including Dof3, ABF2, PIF4, and MYB4 were predicted to further control the genes active in the synthetic/metabolic pathways of plant hormones, namely abscisic acid, polyamine, and reductive glutathione (among others). This suggests these transcription factors could regulate freezing tolerance of CMM5 leaves. In particular, ScDof3 was proven to regulate the expression of ScproC (pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase, P5CR) according to dual-LUC assays. Overexpressing ScDof3 in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves led to an increase in both the proline content and expression level of NbproC (homolog of ScproC). These results demonstrate the ScDof3-ScproC module regulates the proline content and thus promotes freezing tolerance in potato. Our research provides valuable genetic resources to further study the molecular mechanisms underpinning cold tolerance in potato.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the Trehalose-6-phosphate Synthase and Trehalose-6-phosphate Phosphatase Gene Families in Rose ( Rosa hybrida cv 'Carola') under Different Light Conditions. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:114. [PMID: 38202423 PMCID: PMC10780518 DOI: 10.3390/plants13010114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Trehalose, trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS),and trehalose-6-phosphatase (TPP) have been reported to play important roles in plant abiotic stress and growth development. However, their functions in the flowering process of Rosa hybrida have not been characterized. In this study we found that, under a short photoperiod or weak light intensity, the content of trehalose in the shoot apical meristem of Rosa hybrida cv 'Carola' significantly decreased, leading to delayed flowering time. A total of nine RhTPSs and seven RhTPPs genes were identified in the genome. Cis-element analysis suggested that RhTPS and RhTPP genes were involved in plant hormones and environmental stress responses. Transcriptome data analysis reveals significant differences in the expression levels of RhTPSs and RhTPPs family genes in different tissues and indicates that RhTPPF and RhTPPJ are potential key genes involved in rose flower bud development under different light environments. The results of quantitative real-time reverse transcription (qRT-PCR) further indicate that under short photoperiod and weak light intensity all RhTPP members were significantly down-regulated. Additionally, RhTPS1a, RhTPS10, and RhTPS11 were up-regulated under a short photoperiod and showed a negative correlation with flowering time and trehalose content decrease. Under weak light intensity, RhTPS11 was up-regulated and negatively regulated flowering, while RhTPS5, RhTPS6, RhTPS7b, RhTPS9, and RhTPS10 were down-regulated and positively regulated flowering. This work lays the foundation for revealing the functions of RhTPS and RhTPP gene families in the regulation of rose trehalose.
