Abstract
The source of energy for all photoautotrophic organisms is light, which is absorbed by photosynthetic processes and used to transform carbon dioxide and H2O into organic molecules. The majority of UV-B light (280 to 320 nm) is absorbed by stratospheric ozone layer, although some of it does reach at the Earth's surface. Because of the sedentary lifestyle of plants, this form of abiotic stress is unavoidable and can induce growth and even cell death. Ten-day-old calli generated from mature Kirik wheat embryos were subjected to UV-B radiation for 0, 2, 4, and 6 h to examine the function of exogenous α-tocopherol, a lipophilic antioxidant, in wheat tolerance to UV-B radiation stress. The calli were then moved to a callus medium containing α-tocopherol (0, 50, and 100 mg/l) and cultivated there for 20 days after being subjected to UV-B stress. For plant regeneration, embryogenic calli were put on a medium for plant regeneration after 30 days. The findings of this investigation demonstrated that an increase in UV-B exposure period resulted in a substantial drop in the relative growth rate of callus, the rate of embryogenic callus, the rate of responding embryogenic callus, and the number of plants in each explant. On the other hand, with the application of α-tocopherol, all these parameters improved, and the best result was observed in the application of 100 mg/l of α-tocopherol in terms of plant regeneration under UV-B stress.

Effect of Stress Signals and Ib-rolB/C Overexpression on Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis in Cell Cultures of Ipomoea batatas. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232315100. [PMID: 36499423 PMCID: PMC9740395 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232315100] [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: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Ipomoea batatas is a vital root crop and a source of caffeoylquinic acid derivatives (CQAs) with potential health-promoting benefits. As a naturally transgenic plant, I. batatas contains cellular T-DNA (cT-DNA) sequence homologs of the Agrobacterium rhizogenes open reading frame (ORF)14, ORF17n, rooting locus (Rol)B/RolC, ORF13, and ORF18/ORF17n of unknown function. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of abiotic stresses (temperature, ultraviolet, and light) and chemical elicitors (methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, and sodium nitroprusside) on the biosynthesis of CQAs and cT-DNA gene expression in I. batatas cell culture as a model system. Among all the applied treatments, ultraviolet irradiation, methyl jasmonate, and salicylic acid caused the maximal accumulation of secondary compounds. We also discovered that I. batatas cT-DNA genes were not expressed in cell culture, and the studied conditions weakly affected their transcriptional levels. However, the Ib-rolB/C gene expressed under the strong 35S CaMV promoter increased the CQAs content by 1.5-1.9-fold. Overall, our results show that cT-DNA-encoded transgenes are not involved in stress- and chemical elicitor-induced CQAs accumulation in cell cultures of I. batatas. Nevertheless, overaccumulation of RolB/RolC transcripts potentiates the secondary metabolism of sweet potatoes through a currently unknown mechanism. Our study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms linked with CQAs biosynthesis in cell culture of naturally transgenic food crops, i.e., sweet potato.

Dhanyalakshmi KH, Nataraja KN. Universal stress protein-like gene from mulberry enhances abiotic stress tolerance in Escherichia coli and transgenic tobacco cells. PLANT BIOLOGY (STUTTGART, GERMANY) 2021; 23:1190-1194.

Abstract
Universal stress proteins (USPs) are a conserved group of proteins initially identified and characterized in bacteria. USPs are induced under multiple stresses, and are important for stress acclimation. We cloned a USP-like gene designated as MaUSP1-like from mulberry and expressed in bacteria and tobacco to examine its relevance in abiotic stress tolerance. Escherichia coli and tobacco cells expressing MaUSP1-like gene were exposed to different abiotic stresses, and cell survival and growth was recorded to assess the stress effects. MaUSP1-like gene conferred tolerance to E. coli cells under NaCl-induced salt stress, PEG8000-induced desiccation stress, cadmium chloride-induced heavy metal stress, and heat stress. Overexpression of MaUSP1-like sustained cell division and growth in tobacco cells under salt stress. The results demonstrate that MaUSP1-like gene is capable of conferring cellular level tolerance in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems, under abiotic stress. The finding opened up an option to argue that maintenance of cellular level tolerance is crucial for sustenance of growth under stress and cellular level tolerance can be improved by overexpressing genes like USPs.
