Abstract
Low-temperature sensitivity at the germination stage is a challenge for direct seeding of rice in Asian countries. How Ca2+ and auxin (IAA) signaling regulate primary root growth under chilling remains unexplored. Here, we showed that OsCML16 interacted specifically with OsPILS7a to improve primary root elongation of early rice seedlings under chilling. OsCML16, a subgroup 6c member of the OsCML family, interacted with multiple cytosolic loop regions of OsPILS7a in a Ca2+-dependent manner. OsPILS7a localized to the endoplasmic reticulum membranes and functioned as an auxin efflux carrier in a yeast growth assay. Transgenics showed that presence of OsCML16 enhanced primary root elongation under chilling, whereas the ospils7a knockout mutant lines showed the opposite phenotype. Moreover, under chilling conditions, OsCML16 and OsPILS7a-mediated Ca2+ and IAA signaling and regulated the transcription of IAA signaling-associated genes (OsIAA11, OsIAA23, and OsARF16) and cell division marker genes (OsRAN1, OsRAN2, and OsLTG1) in primary roots. These results show that OsCML16 and OsPILS7a cooperatively regulate primary root elongation of early rice seedlings under chilling. These findings enhance our understanding of the crosstalk between Ca2+ and IAA signaling and reveal insights into the mechanisms underlying cold-stress response during rice germination.

The OsTIL1 lipocalin protects cell membranes from reactive oxygen species damage and maintains the 18:3-containing glycerolipid biosynthesis under cold stress in rice. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 117:72-91. [PMID: 37753661 DOI: 10.1111/tpj.16470] [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: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Lipocalins constitute a conserved protein family that binds to and transports a variety of lipids while fatty acid desaturases (FADs) are required for maintaining the cell membrane fluidity under cold stress. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether plant lipocalins promote FADs for the cell membrane integrity under cold stress. Here, we identified the role of OsTIL1 lipocalin in FADs-mediated glycerolipid remodeling under cold stress. Overexpression and CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene edition experiments demonstrated that OsTIL1 positively regulated cold stress tolerance by protecting the cell membrane integrity from reactive oxygen species damage and enhancing the activities of peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase, which was confirmed by combined cold stress with a membrane rigidifier dimethyl sulfoxide or a H2 O2 scavenger dimethyl thiourea. OsTIL1 overexpression induced higher 18:3 content, and higher 18:3/18:2 and (18:2 + 18:3)/18:1 ratios than the wild type under cold stress whereas the gene edition mutant showed the opposite. Furthermore, the lipidomic analysis showed that OsTIL1 overexpression led to higher contents of 18:3-mediated glycerolipids, including galactolipids (monoglactosyldiacylglycerol and digalactosyldiacylglycerol) and phospholipids (phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl inositol) under cold stress. RNA-seq and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay analyses indicated that OsTIL1 overexpression enhanced the transcription and enzyme abundance of four ω-3 FADs (OsFAD3-1/3-2, 7, and 8) under cold stress. These results reveal an important role of OsTIL1 in maintaining the cell membrane integrity from oxidative damage under cold stress, providing a good candidate gene for improving cold tolerance in rice.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a second messenger in plants growth and development, as well as in stress responses. The transient elevation in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration have been reported to be involved in plants response to abiotic and biotic stresses. In plants, Ca2+-induced transcriptional changes trigger molecular mechanisms by which plants adapt and respond to environment stresses. The mechanism for transcription regulation by Ca2+ could be either rapid in which Ca2+ signals directly cause the related response through the gene transcript and protein activities, or involved amplification of Ca2+ signals by up-regulation the expression of Ca2+ responsive genes, and then increase the transmission of Ca2+ signals. Ca2+ regulates the expression of genes by directly binding to the transcription factors (TFs), or indirectly through its sensors like calmodulin, calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPK) and calcineurin B-like protein (CBL). In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the role of Ca2+-mediated transcriptional regulation in different processes in plants. In this review, we have provided a comprehensive overview of Ca2+-mediated transcriptional regulation in plants in response to abiotic stresses including nutrition deficiency, temperature stresses (like heat and cold), dehydration stress, osmotic stress, hypoxic, salt stress, acid rain, and heavy metal stress.

Abstract
Plastoglobules (PGs) contiguous with the outer leaflets of thylakoid membranes regulate lipid metabolism, plastid developmental transitions, and responses to environmental stimuli. However, the function of OsFBN7, a PG-core fibrillin gene in rice, has not been elucidated. Using molecular genetics and physiobiochemical approaches, we observed that OsFBN7 overexpression promoted PG clustering in rice chloroplasts. OsFBN7 interacted with two KAS I enzymes, namely OsKAS Ia and OsKAS Ib, in rice chloroplasts. Lipidomic analysis of chloroplast subcompartments, including PGs in the OsFBN7 overexpression lines, confirmed that levels of diacylglycerol (DAG), a chloroplast lipid precursor and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG), the main chloroplast membrane lipids, were increased in PGs and chloroplasts. Furthermore, OsFBN7 enhanced the abundances of OsKAS Ia/Ib in planta and their stability under oxidative and heat stresses. In addition, RNA sequencing and real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses showed that the expression of the DAG synthetase gene PAP1 and MGDG synthase gene MDG2 was upregulated by OsFBN7. In conclusion, this study proposes a new model in which OsFBN7 binds to OsKAS Ia/Ib in chloroplast and enhances their abundance and stability, thereby regulating the chloroplast and PG membrane lipids involved in the formation of PG clusters.

JOURNAL OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 282:153927. [PMID: 36682133 DOI: 10.1016/j.jplph.2023.153927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Rice is a crucial staple food crop in many countries, yet, abiotic factors like salt and drought impact its growth. The Domain of Unknown Function 966 (DUF966) gene family may be crucial in how rice plants respond to abiotic stress. Our earlier research showed that overexpression of OsDSR2 (DUF966-stress repressive gene 2 in Oryza sativa) decreased resistance to salt and drought stress. To further understand how OsDSR2 negatively affects rice tolerance to salt and drought stress, transgenic rice plants with decreased OsDSR2 expression levels were created employing the RNAi technique. We investigated alterations in rice phenotype, physiology, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using a combination of physio-biochemical measurement and RNA-seq analysis. The results of the study demonstrated that rice seedling lines with OsDSR2 knockdown exhibited improved salt and drought stress tolerance. Statistical analysis revealed that the transgenic plants' survival rate (56-68%) was higher than the control plants (30%), in addition to a roughly 3 fold, 3.5 fold, 20% and 10.5% reduction in cell membrane permeability, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide anion radical (O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contents, respectively. However, the proline content and antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD)) activities were considerably increased by about 5.5 fold, 3.5 fold, and 4.5 fold, respectively, at physiological levels. There were 115 up-regulated and 173 down-regulated DEGs in the leaves of the transgenic lines on the transcriptional regulation under the combined salt-drought stress. Among these, both up-regulation DEGs (e.g., OsHAK5, OsIAA25) and the down-regulation DEGs (e.g., OsbZIP23, OsERF48, OsAP2-39, etc.) may be related to the enhanced tolerance of the transgenic lines under combined salt-drought stress. This possibly depended on the involvement of abscisic acid (ABA) and indoleacetic acid (IAA) signaling pathways. These findings further confirmed that OsDSR2 negatively affected rice's ability to withstand salt and drought, suggesting that it could be a helpful gene for CRISPR-Cas9 technology-based genetic modification of rice's ability to withstand abiotic stress.

Genome-wide association study to identify genomic loci associated with early vigor in bread wheat under simulated water deficit complemented with quantitative trait loci meta-analysis.

Abstract
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was used to identify associated loci with early vigor under simulated water deficit and grain yield under field drought in a diverse collection of Iranian bread wheat landraces. In addition, a meta-quantitative trait loci (MQTL) analysis was used to further expand our approach by retrieving already published quantitative trait loci (QTL) from recombinant inbred lines, double haploids, back-crosses, and F2 mapping populations. In the current study, around 16%, 14%, and 16% of SNPs were in significant linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the A, B, and D genomes, respectively, and varied between 5.44% (4A) and 21.85% (6A). Three main subgroups were identified among the landraces with different degrees of admixture, and population structure was further explored through principal component analysis. Our GWAS identified 54 marker-trait associations (MTAs) that were located across the wheat genome but with the highest number found in the B sub-genome. The gene ontology (GO) analysis of MTAs revealed that around 75% were located within or closed to protein-coding genes. In the MQTL analysis, 23 MQTLs, from a total of 215 QTLs, were identified and successfully projected onto the reference map. MQT-YLD4, MQT-YLD9, MQT-YLD13, MQT-YLD17, MQT-YLD18, MQT-YLD19, and MQTL-RL1 contributed to the highest number of projected QTLs and were therefore regarded as the most reliable and stable QTLs under water deficit conditions. These MQTLs greatly facilitate the identification of putative candidate genes underlying at each MQTL interval due to the reduced confidence of intervals associated with MQTLs. These findings provide important information on the genetic basis of early vigor traits and grain yield under water deficit conditions and set the foundation for future investigations into adaptation to water deficit in bread wheat.

Abstract
The peroxygenase pathway plays pivotal roles in plant responses to oxidative stress and other environmental stressors. Analysis of a network of co-expressed stress-regulated rice genes demonstrated that expression of OsPXG9 is negatively correlated with expression of genes involved in jasmonic acid biosynthesis. DNA sequence analysis and structure/function studies reveal that OsPXG9 is a caleosin-like peroxygenase with amphipathic α-helices that localizes to lipid droplets in rice cells. Enzymatic studies demonstrate that 12-epoxidation is slightly more favorable with 9(S)-hydroperoxyoctadecatrienoic acid than with 9(S)-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid as substrate. The products of 12-epoxidation are labile, and the epoxide ring is hydrolytically cleaved into corresponding trihydroxy compounds. On the other hand, OsPXG9 catalyzed 15-epoxidation of 13(S)-hydroperoxyoctadecatrienoic acid generates a relatively stable epoxide product. Therefore, the regiospecific 12- or 15-epoxidation catalyzed by OsPXG9 strongly depends on activation of the 9- or 13- peroxygenase reaction pathways, with their respective preferred substrates. The relative abundance of products in the 9-PXG and 13-PXG pathways suggest that the 12-epoxidation involves intramolecular oxygen transfer while the 15-epoxidation can proceed via intramolecular or intermolecular oxygen transfer. Expression of OsPXG9 is up-regulated by abiotic stimuli such as drought and salt stress, but it is down-regulated by biotic stimuli such as flagellin 22 and salicylic acid. The results suggest that the primary function of OsPXG9 is to modulate the level of lipid peroxides to facilitate effective defense responses to abiotic and biotic stressors.

Abstract
Plant cells store energy in oil bodies constructed by structural proteins such as oleosins and caleosins. Although oil bodies usually accumulate in the seed and pollen of plants, caleosins are present in various organs and organelles. This issue, coupled with the diverse activities of caleosins, complicates the description of these oleo-proteins. Therefore, the current article proposes a new classification based on the bioinformatics analysis of the transmembrane topology of caleosins. Accordingly, the non-membrane class are the most abundant and diverse caleosins, especially in lower plants. Comparing the results with other reports suggests a stress response capacity for these caleosins. However, other classes play a more specific role in germination and pollination. A phylogenetic study also revealed two main clades that were significantly different in terms of caleosin type, expression profile, molecular weight, and isoelectric point (P < 0.01). In addition to the biochemical significance of the findings, predicting the structure of caleosins is necessary for constructing oil bodies used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Over-accumulation of salt in rice plants is an effect of salt stress which decreases growth and grain yield. Salt removal ability in leaf sheaths is a tolerance mechanism to decrease salt entry and accumulation in leaf blades and maintain photosynthesis under salinity. In this study, a QTL analysis of removal ability of sodium ions (Na+) in leaf sheaths and Na+ accumulation-related traits, was conducted using F2 population between two rice varieties, IR-44595 with superior Na+ removal ability, and 318 with contrasting Na+ removal ability in leaf sheaths under salinity. Suggestive QTLs for Na+ removal ability in leaf sheaths were found on chromosomes 4 and 11. The suggestive QTL on chromosome 11 overlapped with other significant QTLs for Na+ concentration in shoots, leaf blades and leaf sheaths, and Na+/K+ ratio in leaf blades. Correlation analysis indicated that Na+ removal ability in leaf sheaths is important in reducing Na+ accumulation in leaf blades. The varietal difference of Na+ removal ability in leaf sheaths at the whole plant level was greater at lower NaCl concentrations and became smaller as the treatment NaCl concentration increased. Although the Na+ removal ability in leaf sheath was comparable between IR-44595 and 318 under high salinity at the whole plant level, the younger leaves of IR-44595 still showed a higher Na+ sheath-blade ratio than 318, which implied the Na+ removal ability functions in the younger leaves in IR-44595 to reduce Na+ entry in young leaf blades even under high salinity.

Abstract
Caleosins are lipid droplet- and endoplasmic reticulum-associated proteins. To investigate their functions in oil accumulation, expression levels of caleosins in developing seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana were examined and four seed-expressed caleosins (CLO1, CLO2, CLO4, and CLO6) were identified. The four single mutants showed similar minor changes of fatty acid composition in seeds. Two double mutants (clo1 clo2 and clo1×clo2) demonstrated distinct changes of fatty acid composition, a 16-23% decrease of oil content, and a 10-13% decrease of seed weight. Moreover, a 40% decrease of oil content, further fatty acid changes, and misshapen membranes of smaller lipid droplets were found in seeds of quadruple CLO RNAi lines. Notably, ~40% of quadruple CLO RNAi T1 seeds failed to germinate, and deformed embryos and seedlings were also observed. Complementation experiments showed that CLO1 rescued the phenotype of clo1 clo2. Overexpression of CLO1 in seedlings and BY2 cells increased triacylglycerol content up to 73.6%. Transcriptome analysis of clo1 clo2 developing seeds showed that expression levels of some genes related to lipid, embryo development, calcium signaling, and stress responses were affected. Together, these results suggest that the major seed-expressed caleosins have overlapping functions in oil accumulation and show pleiotropic effects on embryo development.

Transcriptome Analysis of Bread Wheat Genotype KRL3-4 Provides a New Insight Into Regulatory Mechanisms Associated With Sodicity (High pH) Tolerance. Front Genet 2022; 12:782366. [PMID: 35222517 PMCID: PMC8864244 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.782366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Globally, sodicity is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting the wheat productivity in arid and semi-arid regions. With due consideration, an investigation of the complex gene network associated with sodicity stress tolerance is required to identify transcriptional changes in plants during abiotic stress conditions. For this purpose, we sequenced the flag leaf transcriptome of a highly tolerant bread wheat germplasm (KRL 3-4) in order to extend our knowledge and better understanding of the molecular basis of sodicity tolerance. A total of 1,980 genes were differentially expressed in the flag leaf due to sodicity stress. Among these genes, 872 DEGs were upregulated and 1,108 were downregulated. Furthermore, annotation of DEGs revealed that a total of 1,384 genes were assigned to 2,267 GO terms corresponding to 502 (biological process), 638 (cellular component), and 1,127 (molecular function). GO annotation also revealed the involvement of genes related to several transcription factors; the important ones are expansins, peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase, and metal ion transporters in response to sodicity. Additionally, from 127 KEGG pathways, only 40 were confidently enriched at a p-value <0.05 covering the five main KEGG categories of metabolism, i.e., environmental information processing, genetic information processing, organismal systems, and cellular processes. Most enriched pathways were prioritized using MapMan software and revealed that lipid metabolism, nutrient uptake, and protein homeostasis were paramount. We have also found 39 SNPs that mapped to the important sodicity stress-responsive genes associated with various pathways such as ROS scavenging, serine/threonine protein kinase, calcium signaling, and metal ion transporters. In a nutshell, only 19 important candidate genes contributing to sodicity tolerance in bread wheat were identified, and these genes might be helpful for better understanding and further improvement of sodicity tolerance in bread wheat.

Abstract
Caleosin is a lipid droplet-binding protein involved in maintenance of the lipid droplet structure and in signal transduction. However, the role of caleosin proteins in stress resistance is limited. Here, we report data for a rice caleosin protein gene, OsClo5, involved in cold stress tolerance via influence and regulation of the JA signalling pathway. Overexpression lines and RNAi lines of OsClo5 were subjected to cold stress and recovery to measure electrolyte leakage and survival rate. Changes were also detected in the genome-wide transcriptome of OsClo5 overexpressed plants. OsClo5 is located mainly in lipid droplets and expressed in all tissues tested. Its expression was upregulated by various stress conditions when subjected to cold treatment. Overexpression of OsClo5 decreased cold tolerance, and RNAi lines of OsClo5 had higher survival than WT seedlings. OsClo5 inhibited one jasmonate biosynthetic gene and several jasmonate ZIM domain (JAZ) genes, which were upregulated in response to cold stress. OsClo5 is a constitutively expressed caleosin protein that regulates plant cold resistance through inhibition of jasmonate signalling and JA synthesis.

Abstract
Salt tolerance of rice (Oryza sativa L.) at the seedling stage is one of the major determinants of its stable establishment in saline soil. One population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs, F (2:9)) derived from a cross between the salt-tolerant variety Jiucaiqing and the salt-sensitive variety IR26 was used to determine the genetic mechanism of four salt tolerance indices, seedling height (SH), dry shoot weight (DSW), dry root weight (DRW) and Na/K ratios (Na/K) in roots after 10 days in three salt concentrations (0.0, 0.5 and 0.7 % NaCl). The main effect QTLs (M-QTLs) and epistatic QTLs (E-QTLs) were detected by QTL IciMapping program using single environment phenotypic values. Eleven M-QTLs and 11 E-QTLs were identified for the salt tolerance indices. There were six M-QTLs and two E-QTLs identified for SH, three M-QTLs and five E-QTLs identified for DSW, two M-QTLs and one E-QTL identified for DRW, and three E-QTLs identified for Na/K. The phenotypic variation explained by each M-QTL and E-QTL ranged from 7.8 to 23.9 % and 13.3 to 73.7 %, respectively. The QTL-by-environment interactions were detected by QTLNetwork program in the joint analyses of multi-environment phenotypic values. Six M-QTLs and five E-QTLs were identified. The phenotypic variation explained by each QTL and QTL × environment interaction ranged from 0.95 to 6.90 % and 0.02 to 0.50 %, respectively. By comparing chromosomal positions of these M-QTLs with those previously identified, five M-QTLs qSH1.3, qSH12.1, qSH12.2, qDSW12.1 and qDRW11 might represent novel salt tolerance genes. Five selected RILs with high salt tolerance had six to eight positive alleles of the M-QTLs, indicating that pyramiding by marker-assisted selection (MAS) of M-QTLs can be applied in rice salt tolerance breeding programs.
