A Genome-Wide Analysis of the Jasmonic Acid Biosynthesis Gene Families in Peanut Reveals Their Crucial Roles in Growth and Abiotic Stresses. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7054. [PMID: 39000161 PMCID: PMC11241683 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Abiotic stress is a limiting factor in peanut production. Peanut is an important oil crop and cash crop in China. Peanut yield is vulnerable to abiotic stress due to its seeds grown underground. Jasmonic acid (JA) is essential for plant growth and defense against adversity stresses. However, the regulation and mechanism of the jasmonic acid biosynthesis pathway on peanut defense against abiotic stresses are still limitedly understood. In this study, a total of 64 genes encoding key enzymes of JA biosynthesis were identified and classified into lipoxygenases (AhLOXs), alleno oxide synthases (AhAOSs), allene oxide cyclases (AhAOCs), and 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (AhOPRs) according to gene structure, conserved motif, and phylogenetic feature. A cis-regulatory element analysis indicated that some of the genes contained stress responsive and hormone responsive elements. In addition to proteins involved in JA biosynthesis and signaling, they also interacted with proteins involved in lipid biosynthesis and stress response. Sixteen putative Ah-miRNAs were identified from four families targeting 35 key genes of JA biosynthesis. A tissue expression pattern analysis revealed that AhLOX2 was the highest expressed in leaf tissues, and AhLOX32 was the highest expressed in shoot, root, and nodule tissues. AhLOX16, AhOPR1, and AhOPR3 were up-regulated under drought stress. AhLOX16, AhAOS3, AhOPR1, and AhAOC4 had elevated transcript levels in response to cold stress. AhLOX5, AhLOX16, AhAOC3, AhOPR1, and AhOPR3 were up-regulated for expression under salt stress. Our study could provide a reference for the study of the abiotic stress resistance mechanism in peanut.

PLANT CELL REPORTS 2024; 43:158. [PMID: 38822833 DOI: 10.1007/s00299-024-03241-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Transgenic plants stably overexpressing ScOPR1 gene enhanced disease resistance by increasing the accumulation of JA, SA, and GST, as well as up-regulating the expression of genes related to signaling pathways. 12-Oxo-phytodienoate reductase (OPR) is an oxidoreductase that depends on flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and catalyzes the conversion of 12-oxophytodienoate (12-OPDA) into jasmonic acid (JA). It plays a key role in plant growth and development, and resistance to adverse stresses. In our previous study, we have obtained an OPR gene (ScOPR1, GenBank Accession Number: MG755745) from sugarcane. This gene showed positive responses to methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA), abscisic acid (ABA), and Sporisorium scitamineum, suggesting its potential for pathogen resistance. Here, in our study, we observed that Nicotiana benthamiana leaves transiently overexpressing ScOPR1 exhibited weaker disease symptoms, darker 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining, higher accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and higher expression of hypersensitive response (HR) and SA pathway-related genes after inoculation with Ralstonia solanacearum and Fusarium solanacearum var. coeruleum. Furthermore, the transgenic N. benthamiana plants stably overexpressing the ScOPR1 gene showed enhanced resistance to pathogen infection by increasing the accumulation of JA, SA, and glutathione S-transferase (GST), as well as up-regulating genes related to HR, JA, SA, and ROS signaling pathways. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the specific differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in ScOPR1-OE were significantly enriched in hormone transduction signaling and plant-pathogen interaction pathways. Finally, a functional mechanism model of the ScOPR1 gene in response to pathogen infection was depicted. This study provides insights into the molecular mechanism of ScOPR1 and presents compelling evidence supporting its positive involvement in enhancing plant disease resistance.

Low sucrose availability reduces basal spikelet fertility by inducing abscisic acid and jasmonic acid synthesis in wheat. JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY 2024; 75:1967-1981. [PMID: 38069503 DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erad484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
Within a spike of wheat, the central spikelets usually generate three to four fertile florets, while the basal spikelets generate zero to one fertile floret. The physiological and transcriptional mechanism behind the difference in fertility between the basal and central spikelets is unclear. This study reports a high temporal resolution investigation of transcriptomes, number and morphology of floret primordia, and physiological traits. The W6.5-W7.5 stage was regarded as the boundary to distinguish between fertile and abortive floret primordia; those floret primordia reaching the W6.5-W7.5 stage during the differentiation phase (3-9 d after terminal spikelet stage) usually developed into fertile florets in the next dimorphism phase (12-27 d after terminal spikelet stage), whereas the others aborted. The central spikelets had a greater number of fertile florets than the basal spikelets, which was associated with more floret primordia reaching the W6.5-W7.5 stage. Physiological and transcriptional results demonstrated that the central spikelets had a higher sucrose content and lower abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA) accumulation than the basal spikelets due to down-regulation of genes involved in ABA and JA synthesis. Collectively, we propose a model in which ABA and JA accumulation is induced under limiting sucrose availability (basal spikelet) through the up-regulation of genes involved in ABA and JA synthesis; this leads to floret primordia in the basal spikelets failing to reach their fertile potential (W6.5-W7.5 stage) during the differentiation phase and then aborting. This fertility repression model may also regulate spikelet fertility in other cereal crops and potentially provides genetic resources to improve spikelet fertility.

A non-JA producing oxophytodienoate reductase functions in salicylic acid-mediated antagonism with jasmonic acid during pathogen attack. MOLECULAR PLANT PATHOLOGY 2023; 24:725-741. [PMID: 36715587 PMCID: PMC10257049 DOI: 10.1111/mpp.13299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Peroxisome-localized oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) reductases (OPR) are enzymes converting 12-OPDA into jasmonic acid (JA). However, the biochemical and physiological functions of the cytoplasmic non-JA producing OPRs remain largely unknown. Here, we generated Mutator-insertional mutants of the maize OPR2 gene and tested its role in resistance to pathogens with distinct lifestyles. Functional analyses showed that the opr2 mutants were more susceptible to the (hemi)biotrophic pathogens Colletotrichum graminicola and Ustilago maydis, but were more resistant to the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus. Hormone profiling revealed that increased susceptibility to C. graminicola was associated with decreased salicylic acid (SA) but increased JA levels. Mutation of the JA-producing lipoxygenase 10 (LOX10) reversed this phenotype in the opr2 mutant background, corroborating the notion that JA promotes susceptibility to this pathogen. Exogenous SA did not rescue normal resistance levels in opr2 mutants, suggesting that this SA-inducible gene is the key downstream component of the SA-mediated defences against C. graminicola. Disease assays of the single and double opr2 and lox10 mutants and the JA-deficient opr7opr8 mutants showed that OPR2 negatively regulates JA biosynthesis, and that JA is required for resistance against C. heterostrophus. Overall, this study uncovers a novel function of a non-JA producing OPR as a major negative regulator of JA biosynthesis during pathogen infection, a function that leads to its contrasting contribution to either resistance or susceptibility depending on pathogen lifestyle.

Genome-wide comprehensive characterization and expression analysis of TLP gene family revealed its responses to hormonal and abiotic stresses in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). Gene X 2022; 844:146818.

Abstract
Thaumatin-like protein (TLP) is the well-known sweetest protein which plays a crucial role in diverse developmental processes and different stress conditions in plants, fungi and animals. The TLP gene family is extensively studied in different plant species including crop plants. Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is an important cucurbit crop cultivated worldwide; however, the comprehensive information about the TLP gene family is not available in watermelon. In the present study, we identified the 29 TLP genes as gene family members in watermelon using various computational methods to understand its role in different developmental processes and stress conditions. ClaTLP gene family members were not uniformly distributed on 22 chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the ClaTLP gene family members were grouped into 10 sub-groups. Further, gene duplication analysis showed thirteen gene duplication events which included one tandem and twelve segmental duplications. Amino acid sequence alignment has shown that ClaTLP proteins shared 16 conserved cysteine residues in their THN domain. Furthermore, cis-acting regulatory elements analysis also displayed that ClaTLP gene family members contain diverse phytohormone, various defense, and stress-responsive elements in their promoter region. The expression profile of the ClaTLP gene family revealed the differential expression of gene family members in different tissues and abiotic stresses conditions. Moreover, the expression profile of ClaTLP genes was further validated by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR. Taken together, these results indicate that ClaTLP genes might play an important role in developmental processes and diverse stress conditions. Therefore, the outcome of this study brings forth the valuable information for further interpret the precise role of ClaTLP gene family members in watermelon.

Abstract
The 12-oxo-phytoeienoic acid reductase (OPR) is a kind of enzyme in octadecanoid biosynthesis pathway, which determines the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid. Although the roles of OPRs have been extensively studied in several crop plants, little is known about the biological functions of OPR encoding genes in Capsicum annuum plants. In this study, seven OPR family genes (CaOPR1-7) were identified from the C. annuum genome. The physical and chemical properties of CaOPR1-7 were further analyzed, including gene expression patterns, promoter elements and chromosomal locations. The results showed that the seven CaOPR homologous could be divided into two subgroups, and CaOPR6 was highly similar to AtOPR3 in Arabidopsis. The expression of CaOPR6 was significantly induced by various stresses such as cold, salt and pathogen infection, indicating that CaOPR6 plays important roles in response to abiotic and biotic stresses. Overall, these findings improve the understanding of the biological functions of CaOPR6 in the development of pepper fruit and stress response of pepper plants, and facilitate further studies on the molecular biology of OPR proteins in Solanaceae vegetables.

Abstract
Leaf veins constitute the transport network for water and photosynthetic assimilates in vascular plants. The class III homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip III) gene family is central to the regulation of vascular development. In this research, we performed an overall analysis of the HD-Zip III genes in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.). Our analysis included the phylogeny, conservation domains and cis-elements in the promoters of these genes. We used the quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to characterize the expression patterns of HD-Zip III genes in leaf vein development and analyze the effects of exogenous hormone treatments. In this study, twelve HD-Zip III genes were identified from the soybean genome and named. All soybean HD-Zip III proteins contained four highly conserved domains. GmHB15-L-1 transcripts showed steadily increasing accumulation during all stages of leaf vein development and were highly expressed in cambium cells. GmREV-L-1 and GmHB14-L-2 had nearly identical expression patterns in soybean leaf vein tissues. GmREV-L-1 and GmHB14-L-2 transcripts remained at stable high levels at all xylem developmental stages. GmREV-L-1 and GmHB14-L-2 were expressed at high levels in the vascular cambium and xylem cells. Overall, GmHB15-L-1 may be an essential regulator that is responsible for the formation or maintenance of soybean vein cambial cells. GmREV-L-1 and GmHB14-L-2 were correlated with xylem differentiation in soybean leaf veins. This study will pave the way for identifying the molecular mechanism of leaf vein development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatty acid composition and content affect rapeseed oil quality. Fatty acid synthesis-related genes in rapeseed have been studied globally by researchers. Nevertheless, rapeseed oil is mainly composed of seven different fatty acids (FA), and each fatty acid was regulated by different genes. Furthermore, different FA affect each other, which needs continuous and in-depth research to obtain more clear results in Brassica napus. RESULTS In this paper, broad-scale miRNA expression profiles were constructed and 21 differentially expressed miRNAs were detected. GO enrichment analysis showed that most up-regulated proteins were involved in transcription factor activity and catalytic activity. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated that 20 pathways involving 36 target genes were enriched, of which the bna00592 pathway may be involved in fatty acid metabolism. The results were verified using a quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis, we found that the target gene of bna-miR156b > c > g was the OPR (12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase). Four copies of OPR gene were found, and the over-expression vectors (pCAMBIA1300-35 s-OPR and pCAMBIA1300-RNAi-OPR) were constructed to verify their functions. In T1 and T2 generation, the content of linoleic acid (LA) increased significantly in OE but deceased in OPRi. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to provide four copies of the OPR gene that regulates LA metabolism, can be used for the molecular mechanism of LA and optimizing fatty acid profiles in oilseed for breeding programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fusarium wilt disease is leading threat to watermelon yield and quality. Different cultivation cropping systems have been reported as safe and efficient methods to control watermelon Fusarium wilt. However, the role of salicylic acid (SA) in watermelon resistance to Fusarium wilt in these different cultivation systems remains unknown. METHODS in this experiment, we used RNA-seq and qRT-PCR to study the effect of SA biosynthesis on improving watermelon health, demonstrating how it may be responsible for Fusarium wilt resistance under continuous monocropping and oilseed rape rotation systems. RESULTS the results revealed that the expression of the CIPALs genes was key to SA accumulation in watermelon roots. We observed that the NPR family genes may play different roles in responding to the SA signal. Differentially expressed NPRs and WRKYs may interact with other phytohormones, leading to the amelioration of watermelon Fusarium wilt. CONCLUSIONS further understanding of gene expression patterns will pave the way for interventions that effectively control the disease.

Fusarium wilt disease is one of the major diseases causing a decline in watermelon yield and quality. Researches have informed that phytohormones play essential roles in regulating plants growth, development, and stress defendants. However, the molecular mechanism of salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and abscisic acid (ABA) in resistance to watermelon Fusarium wilt remains unknown. In this experiment, we established the SA, JA, and ABA determination system in watermelon roots, and analyzed their roles in against watermelon Fusarium wilt compared to the resistant and susceptible varieties using transcriptome sequencing and RT-qPCR. Our results revealed that the up-regulated expression of Cla97C09G174770, Cla97C05G089520, Cla97C05G081210, Cla97C04G071000, and Cla97C10G198890 genes in resistant variety were key factors against (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Niveum) FON infection at 7 dpi. Additionally, there might be crosstalk between SA, JA, and ABA, caused by those differentially expressed (non-pathogen-related) NPRs, (Jasmonate-resistant) JAR, and (Pyrabactin resistance 1-like) PYLs genes, to trigger the plant immune system against FON infection. Overall, our results provide a theoretical basis for watermelon resistance breeding, in which phytohormones participate.
