Surati U, Niranjan SK, Pundir RK, Koul Y, Vohra V, Gandham RK, Kumar A. Genome-wide comparative analyses highlight selection signatures underlying saline adaptation in Chilika buffalo. Physiol Genomics 2024; 56:609-620. [PMID: 38949516 DOI: 10.1152/physiolgenomics.00028.2024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Chilika, a native buffalo breed of the Eastern coast of India, is mainly distributed around the Chilika brackish water lake connected with the Bay of Bengal Sea. This breed possesses a unique ability to delve deep into the salty water of the lake and stay there to feed on local vegetation of saline nature. Adaptation to salinity is a genetic phenomenon; however, the genetic basis underlying salinity tolerance is still limited in animals, specifically in livestock. The present study explores the genetic evolution that unveils the Chilika buffalo's adaptation to the harsh saline habitat, including both water and food systems. For this study, whole genome resequencing data on 18 Chilika buffalo and for comparison 10 Murrah buffalo of normal habitat were generated. For identification of selection sweeps, intrapopulation and interpopulation statistics were used. A total of 709, 309, 468, and 354 genes were detected to possess selection sweeps in Chilika buffalo using the nucleotide diversity (θπ), Tajima's D, nucleotide diversity ratio (θπ-ratio), and FST methods, respectively. Further analysis revealed a total of 23 genes including EXOC6B, VPS8, LYPD1, VPS35, CAMKMT, NCKAP5, COMMD1, myosin light chain kinase 3 (MYLK3), and B3GNT2 were found to be common by all the methods. Furthermore, functional annotation study of identified genes provided pathways such as MAPK signaling, renin secretion, endocytosis, oxytocin signaling pathway, etc. Gene network analysis enlists that hub genes provide insights into their interactions with each other. In conclusion, this study has highlighted the genetic basis underlying the local adaptive function of Chilika buffalo under saline environment.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Indian Chilika buffaloes are being maintained on extensive grazing system and have a unique ability to convert local salty vegetation into valuable human food. However, adaptability to saline habitat of Chilika buffalo has not been explored to date. Here, we identified genes and biological pathways involved, such as MAPK signaling, renin secretion, endocytosis, and oxytocin signaling pathway, underlying adaptability of Chilika buffalo to saline environment. This investigation shed light on the mechanisms underlying the buffalo's resilience in its native surroundings.

Abstract
Soil salinity imposes osmotic, ionic, and oxidative stresses on plants, resulting in growth inhibition, developmental changes, metabolic adaptations, and ion sequestration or exclusion. Identifying salinity-tolerant resources and understanding physiological and molecular mechanisms of salinity tolerance could lay a foundation for the improvement of salinity tolerance in rice. In this study, a series of salinity-tolerance-related morphological and physiological traits were investigated in 46 rice genotypes, including Sea Rice 86, to reveal the main strategies of rice in responding to salinity stress at the seedling stage. No genotypes showed the same tolerance level as the two landraces Pokkali and Nona Bokra, which remain the donors for improving the salinity tolerance of rice. However, due to undesirable agronomic traits of these donors, alternative cultivars such as JC118S and R1 are recommended as novel source of salinity tolerance. Correlation and principal component analyses revealed that the salinity tolerance of rice seedlings is not only controlled by growth vigor but also regulated by ion transport pathways such as long-distance Na+ transport, root Na+ sequestration, and root K+ retention. Therefore, such key traits should be targeted in future breeding programs as the strategy of obtaining better Na+ exclusion is still the bottleneck for improving salinity tolerance in rice.

Abstract
This study explores the impact of RNAi in terms of selectively inhibiting the expression of the OsBBTI5 gene, with the primary objective of uncovering its involvement in the molecular mechanisms associated with salt tolerance in rice. OsBBTI5, belonging to the Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBI) family gene, is known for its involvement in plant stress responses. The gene was successfully cloned from rice, exhibiting transcriptional self-activation in yeast. A yeast two-hybrid assay confirmed its specific binding to OsAPX2 (an ascorbate peroxidase gene). Transgenic OsBBTI5-RNAi plants displayed insensitivity to varying concentrations of 24-epibrassinolide in the brassinosteroid sensitivity assay. However, they showed reduced root and plant height at high concentrations (10 and 100 µM) of GA3 immersion. Enzyme activity assays revealed increased peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) content under 40-60 mM NaCl. Transcriptomic analysis indicated a significant upregulation of photosynthesis-related genes in transgenic plants under salt stress compared to the wild type. Notably, this study provides novel insights, suggesting that the BBI gene is part of the BR signaling pathway, and that OsBBTI5 potentially enhances stress tolerance in transgenic plants through interaction with the salt stress-related gene OsAPX2.

Jacalin-related lectin 45 (OsJRL45) isolated from 'sea rice 86' enhances rice salt tolerance at the seedling and reproductive stages. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2023; 23:553. [PMID: 37940897 PMCID: PMC10634080 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-023-04533-z] [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: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most widely cultivated grain crops in the world that meets the caloric needs of more than half the world's population. Salt stress seriously affects rice production and threatens food security. Therefore, mining salt tolerance genes in salt-tolerant germplasm and elucidating their molecular mechanisms in rice are necessary for the breeding of salt tolerant cultivars. RESULTS In this study, a salt stress-responsive jacalin-related lectin (JRL) family gene, OsJRL45, was identified in the salt-tolerant rice variety 'sea rice 86' (SR86). OsJRL45 showed high expression level in leaves, and the corresponding protein mainly localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. The knockout mutant and overexpression lines of OsJRL45 revealed that OsJRL45 positively regulates the salt tolerance of rice plants at all growth stages. Compared with the wild type (WT), the OsJRL45 overexpression lines showed greater salt tolerance at the reproductive stage, and significantly higher seed setting rate and 1,000-grain weight. Moreover, OsJRL45 expression significantly improved the salt-resistant ability and yield of a salt-sensitive indica cultivar, L6-23. Furthermore, OsJRL45 enhanced the antioxidant capacity of rice plants and facilitated the maintenance of Na+-K+ homeostasis under salt stress conditions. Five proteins associated with OsJRL45 were screened by transcriptome and interaction network analysis, of which one, the transmembrane transporter Os10g0210500 affects the salt tolerance of rice by regulating ion transport-, salt stress-, and hormone-responsive proteins. CONCLUSIONS The OsJRL45 gene isolated from SR86 positively regulated the salt tolerance of rice plants at all growth stages, and significantly increased the yield of salt-sensitive rice cultivar under NaCl treatment. OsJRL45 increased the activity of antioxidant enzyme of rice and regulated Na+/K+ dynamic equilibrium under salinity conditions. Our data suggest that OsJRL45 may improve the salt tolerance of rice by mediating the expression of ion transport-, salt stress response-, and hormone response-related genes.

Abstract
Salt-tolerant rice (sea rice) is a key cultivar for increasing rice yields in salinity soil. The co-existence of salinity and cadmium (Cd) toxicities in the plant-soil system has become a great challenge for sustainable agriculture, especially in some estuaries and coastal areas. However, little information is available on the Cd accumulating features of sea rice under the co-stress of Cd and salinity. In this work, a hydroponic experiment with combined Cd (0, 0.2, 0.8 mg/L Cd2+) and saline (0, 0.6%, and 1.2% NaCl, W/V) levels and a pot experiment were set to evaluate the Cd toxic risks of sea rice. The hydroponic results showed that more Cd accumulated in sea rice than that in the reported high-Cd-accumulating rice, Chang Xianggu. It indicated an interesting synergistic effect between Cd and Na levels in sea rice, and the Cd level rose significantly with a concomitant increase in Na level in both shoot (r = 0.54, p < 0.01) and root (r = 0.66, p < 0.01) of sea rice. Lower MDA content was found in sea rice, implying that the salt addition probably triggered the defensive ability against oxidative stress. The pot experiment indicated that the coexistent Cd and salinity stress further inhibited the rice growth and rice yield, and the Cd concentration in rice grain was below 0.2 mg/kg. Collectively, this work provides a general understanding of the co-stress of Cd and salinity on the growth and Cd accumulation of sea rice. Additional work is required to precisely identify the phytoremediation potential of sea rice in Cd-polluted saline soil.

Abstract
Rice is one of the most economically important staple food crops in the world. Soil salinization and drought seriously restrict sustainable rice production. Drought aggravates the degree of soil salinization, and, at the same time, increased soil salinity also inhibits water absorption, resulting in physiological drought stress. Salt tolerance in rice is a complex quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes. This review presents and discusses the recent research developments on salt stress impact on rice growth, rice salt tolerance mechanisms, the identification and selection of salt-tolerant rice resources, and strategies to improve rice salt tolerance. In recent years, the increased cultivation of water-saving and drought-resistance rice (WDR) has shown great application potential in alleviating the water resource crisis and ensuring food and ecological security. Here, we present an innovative germplasm selection strategy of salt-tolerant WDR, using a population that is developed by recurrent selection based on dominant genic male sterility. We aim to provide a reference for efficient genetic improvement and germplasm innovation of complex traits (drought and salt tolerance) that can be translated into breeding all economically important cereal crops.

Abstract
Salt stress seriously affects plant growth and development and reduces the yield of rice. Therefore, the development of salt-tolerant high-yielding rice cultivars through quantitative trait locus (QTL) identification and bulked segregant analysis (BSA) is the main focus of molecular breeding projects. In this study, sea rice (SR86) showed greater salt tolerance than conventional rice. Under salt stress, the cell membrane and chlorophyll were more stable and the antioxidant enzyme activity was higher in SR86 than in conventional rice. Thirty extremely salt-tolerant plants and thirty extremely salt-sensitive plants were selected from the F2 progenies of SR86 × Nipponbare (Nip) and SR86 × 9311 crosses during the whole vegetative and reproductive growth period and mixed bulks were generated. Eleven salt tolerance related candidate genes were located using QTL-seq together with BSA. Real time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis showed that LOC_Os04g03320.1 and BGIOSGA019540 were expressed at higher levels in the SR86 plants than in Nip and 9311 plants, suggesting that these genes are critical for the salt tolerance of SR86. The QTLs identified using this method could be effectively utilized in future salt tolerance breeding programs, providing important theoretical significance and application value for rice salt tolerance breeding.

Abstract
Wild rice is a primary source of genes that can be utilized to generate rice cultivars with advantageous traits. Chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) are consisting of a set of consecutive and overlapping donor chromosome segments in a recipient's genetic background. CSSLs are an ideal genetic population for mapping quantitative traits loci (QTLs). In this study, 59 CSSLs from the common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) accession DP15 under the indica rice cultivar (O. sativa L. ssp. indica) variety 93-11 background were constructed through multiple backcrosses and marker-assisted selection (MAS). Through high-throughput whole genome re-sequencing (WGRS) of parental lines, 12,565 mapped InDels were identified and designed for polymorphic molecular markers. The 59 CSSLs library covered 91.72% of the genome of common wild rice accession DP15. The DP15-CSSLs displayed variation in six economic traits including grain length (GL), grain width (GW), thousand-grain weight (TGW), grain length-width ratio (GLWR), plant height (PH), and leaf margin color (LMC), which were finally attributed to 22 QTLs. A homozygous CSSL line and a purple leave margin CSSL line were selected to construct two secondary genetic populations for the QTLs mapping. Thus, the PH-controlling QTL qPH1.1 was mapped to a region of 4.31-Mb on chromosome 1, and the LMC-controlling QTL qLMC6.1 was mapped to a region of 370-kb on chromosome 6. Taken together, these identified novel QTLs/genes from common wild rice can potentially promote theoretical knowledge and genetic applications to rice breeders worldwide.

Abstract
Ongoing soil salinization drastically threatens crop growth, development, and yield worldwide. It is therefore crucial that we improve salt tolerance in rice by exploiting natural genetic variation. However, many salt-responsive genes confer undesirable phenotypes and therefore cannot be effectively applied to practical agricultural production. In this study, we identified a quantitative trait locus for salt tolerance from the African rice species Oryza glaberrima and named it as Salt Tolerance and Heading Date 1 (STH1). We found that STH1 regulates fatty acid metabolic homeostasis, probably by catalyzing the hydrolytic degradation of fatty acids, which contributes to salt tolerance. Meanwhile, we demonstrated that STH1 forms a protein complex with D3 and a vital regulatory factor in salt tolerance, OsHAL3, to regulate the protein abundance of OsHAL3 via the 26S proteasome pathway. Furthermore, we revealed that STH1 also serves as a co-activator with the floral integrator gene Heading date 1 to balance the expression of the florigen gene Heading date 3a under different circumstances, thus coordinating the regulation of salt tolerance and heading date. Notably, the allele of STH1 associated with enhanced salt tolerance and high yield is found in some African rice accessions but barely in Asian cultivars. Introgression of the STH1HP46 allele from African rice into modern rice cultivars is a desirable approach for boosting grain yield under salt stress. Collectively, our discoveries not only provide conceptual advances on the mechanisms of salt tolerance and synergetic regulation between salt tolerance and flowering time but also offer potential strategies to overcome the challenges resulted from increasingly serious soil salinization that many crops are facing.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:135805. [PMID: 35917979 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Seawater intrusion can cause environmental risks to paddy soils around estuaries, but the impacts on the availability of heavy metals are still unclear. River water and sea water were collected along the river of an estuary. A stirred-flow experiment was conducted to examine the Cd desorption behavior in Cd-contaminated paddy soil. While the pH increased with increasing salinity levels, more Cd was released with increasing salinity, suggesting that Cd competition by cations and complexation by anions, but not pH, dominated the release of Cd from soils. Moreover, paddy soil was incubated at different salinities under alternating redox conditions. The availability of Cd, as indicated by the diffusive gradients in thin film (DGT), became relatively high with increasing salinity levels during the initial anaerobic and later aerobic stages. The available Cd fractions substantially decreased under anaerobic condition, and then rapidly increased under aerobic condition. When oxygen was introduced into the system, Cd associated with organic matter and Fe-Mn oxides were released, and oxidative dissolution of Cd sulfides was observed, especially in the high salinity treatment. Seawater intrusion affects biogeochemical cycles and can promote rapid export of NH4+, Fe2+, and SO42- in paddy soils, especially in soils with high salinity. Our findings demonstrated that the high salinity content in paddy soil significantly enhanced the availability of Cd, especially during the drainage stage.

Abstract
Soil salinization has been recognized as one of the main factors causing the decrease of cultivated land area and global plant productivity. Application of salt tolerant plants and improvement of plant salt tolerance are recognized as the major routes for saline soil restoration and utilization. Sea rice 86 (SR86) is known as a rice cultivar capable of growing in saline soil. Genome sequencing and transcriptome analysis of SR86 have been conducted to explore its salt tolerance mechanisms while the contribution of rhizobacteria is underexplored. In the present study, we examined the rhizosphere bacterial diversity and soil metabolome of SR86 seedlings under different salinity to understand their contribution to plant salt tolerance. We found that salt stress could significantly change rhizobacterial diversity and rhizosphere metabolites. Keystone taxa were identified via co-occurrence analysis and the correlation analysis between keystone taxa and rhizosphere metabolites indicated lipids and their derivatives might play an important role in plant salt tolerance. Further, four plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), capable of promoting the salt tolerance of SR86, were isolated and characterized. These findings might provide novel insights into the mechanisms of plant salt tolerance mediated by plant-microbe interaction, and promote the isolation and application of PGPR in the restoration and utilization of saline soil.

Abstract
Low-lying paddy fields in estuaries can be affected by salt water intrusion; however, it remains unclear how salt water intrusion influences the availability of heavy metals in paddy soil. In this study, batch adsorption and incubation experiments of soil were conducted with different salt water sampled along the estuary to investigate the effects of salt water intrusion on cadmium (Cd) availability. The surface complexation model (SCM) was established to assess the effects of pH on Cd adsorption behavior, which presented typical pH-dependent characteristics. The results of SCM also showed that Cd-chloro complexes became the dominant species when the ionic strength increased. The results of Cd fractions in the incubation experiments revealed a significant increase in dissolved Cd with increasing ionic strength. This may be attributed to the increased point of zero charge (pHpzc) in the presence of salt water with higher salinity, which likely formed more positive charges on soil surfaces, causing an inhibition of Cd adsorption via electrostatic repulsion. Moreover, higher concentrations of Cl- in salt water favored the formation of Cd-chloro complexes, facilitating Cd release from soil particles. This study provides mechanistic insights into the impact of salt water intrusion on Cd availability at the soil-water interface of paddy soil along the estuary.

Abstract
The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HDZIP) is an important transcription factor family, instrumental not only in growth but in finetuning plant responses to environmental adversaries. Despite the plethora of literature available, the role of HDZIP genes under chewing and sucking insects remains elusive. Herein, we identified 40 OsHDZIP genes from the rice genome database. The evolutionary relationship, gene structure, conserved motifs, and chemical properties highlight the key aspects of OsHDZIP genes in rice. The OsHDZIP family is divided into a further four subfamilies (i.e., HDZIP I, HDZIP II, HDZIP III, and HDZIP IV). Moreover, the protein–protein interaction and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed that OsHDZIP genes regulate plant growth and response to various environmental stimuli. Various microRNA (miRNA) families targeted HDZIP III subfamily genes. The microarray data analysis showed that OsHDZIP was expressed in almost all tested tissues. Additionally, the differential expression patterns of the OsHDZIP genes were found under salinity stress and hormonal treatments, whereas under brown planthopper (BPH), striped stem borer (SSB), and rice leaf folder (RLF), only OsHDZIP3, OsHDZIP4, OsHDZIP40, OsHDZIP10, and OsHDZIP20 displayed expression. The qRT-PCR analysis further validated the expression of OsHDZIP20, OsHDZIP40, and OsHDZIP10 under BPH, small brown planthopper (SBPH) infestations, and jinggangmycin (JGM) spraying applications. Our results provide detailed knowledge of the OsHDZIP gene family resistance in rice plants and will facilitate the development of stress-resilient cultivars, particularly against chewing and sucking insect pests.

Abstract
As a new type of salt-tolerant rice, sea red rice contains more minerals, proteins, and lipid compounds, and, in particular, its by-product rice bran may be used to replace other commercial rice brans as the main source of ceramides (Cers). However, the extraction rate of Cers is generally low, and it is crucial to seek an efficient extraction method. This study optimized the ultrasonic-assisted extraction of Cers from sea red rice bran using response surface methodology (RSM) and obtained a Cers yield of 12.54% under optimal conditions involving an extraction temperature of 46 °C, an extraction time of 46 min, and a material-to-liquid ratio of 5 g/mL. The Cers content in sea red rice bran was preliminarily analyzed using thin-layer chromatography, and the Cers content was determined via UHPLC-Triple-TOF-MS/MS after purification and separation using silica column chromatography. Forty-six different types of Cers were identified in sea red rice bran, of which Cer 18:0/24:0 (2OH), Cer 18:0/26:0, Cer 18:0/26:0 (2OH), and Cer 18:0/24:0 accounted for 23.66%, 17.54%, 14.91%, and 11.96%. Most of the Cers structures were mainly composed of sphingadienine. A biological activity assay indicated that Cers extracted from sea red rice bran had significant antioxidant and anti-aging properties. These findings indicate that the extracted Cers show great potential for applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
The fast advancement and deployment of sequencing technologies after the Human Genome Project have greatly increased our knowledge of the eukaryotic genome sequences. However, due to technological concerns, high-quality genomic data has been confined to a few key organisms. Moreover, our understanding of which portions of genomes make up genes and which transcript isoforms synthesize these genes is scarce. Therefore, the current study has been designed to explore the reliability of the tiger lily (Lilium lancifolium Thunb) transcriptome. The PacBio-SMRT was used for attaining the complete transcriptomic profile. We obtained a total of 815,624 CCS (Circular Consensus Sequence) reads with an average length of 1295 bp. The tiger lily transcriptome has been sequenced for the first time using third-generation long-read technology. Furthermore, unigenes (38,707), lncRNAs (6852), and TF members (768) were determined based on the transcriptome data, followed by evaluating SSRs (3319). It has also been revealed that 105 out of 128 primer pairs effectively amplified PCR products. Around 15,608 transcripts were allocated to 25 distinct KOG Clusters, and 10,706 unigenes were grouped into 52 functional categories in the annotated transcripts. Until now, no tiger lily lncRNAs have been discovered. Results of this study may serve as an extensive set of reference transcripts and help us learn more about the transcriptomes of tiger lilies and pave the path for further research.

Abstract
Soil salinity is a key source of abiotic stress in the cultivation of rice. In this study, two currently cultivated japonica rice species-Zhegeng 78 (salt-tolerant) and Zhegeng 99 (salt-sensitive)-with similar backgrounds were identified and used to investigate their differential responses to salt stress at the post-germination and seedling stages. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the expression of OsSOS1, OsHAK1, and OsHAK5 at the post-germination stage, and the expression of OsHKT1,1, OsHTK2,1, and OsHAK1 at the seedling stage, were significantly higher in the salt-tolerant Zhegeng 78 compared with those of the salt-sensitive Zhegeng 99 under salt stress. The significantly lower Na+ net uptake rate at the post-germination and higher K+ net uptake rates at the post-germination and seedling stages were observed in the salt-tolerant Zhegeng 78 compared with those of the salt-sensitive Zhegeng 99 under salt stress. Significantly higher activity of peroxidase (POD) and the lower hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation were observed in the salt-tolerant Zhegeng 78 compared with those of salt-sensitive Zhegeng 99 under salt stress at the seeding stage. The salt-tolerant Zhegeng 78 might be valuable in future cultivation in salinity soils.

Gan T, Lin Z, Bao L, Hui T, Cui X, Huang Y, Wang H, Su C, Jiao F, Zhang M, Qian Y. Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Tolerant and Sensitive Varieties Reveals That Phenylpropanoid Biosynthesis Contributes to Salt Tolerance in Mulberry. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:9402. [PMID: 34502318 PMCID: PMC8431035 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22179402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 08/22/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Mulberry, an important woody tree, has strong tolerance to environmental stresses, including salinity, drought, and heavy metal stress. However, the current research on mulberry resistance focuses mainly on the selection of resistant resources and the determination of physiological indicators. In order to clarify the molecular mechanism of salt tolerance in mulberry, the physiological changes and proteomic profiles were comprehensively analyzed in salt-tolerant (Jisang3) and salt-sensitive (Guisangyou12) mulberry varieties. After salt treatment, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and proline content were significantly increased compared to control, and the MDA and proline content in G12 was significantly lower than in Jisang3 under salt stress. The calcium content was significantly reduced in the salt-sensitive mulberry varieties Guisangyou12 (G12), while sodium content was significantly increased in both mulberry varieties. Although the Jisang3 is salt-tolerant, salt stress caused more reductions of photosynthetic rate in Jisang3 than Guisangyou12. Using tandem mass tags (TMT)-based proteomics, the changes of mulberry proteome levels were analyzed in salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive mulberry varieties under salt stress. Combined with GO and KEGG databases, the differentially expressed proteins were significantly enriched in the GO terms of amino acid transport and metabolism and posttranslational modification, protein turnover up-classified in Guisangyou12 while down-classified in Jisang3. Through the comparison of proteomic level, we identified the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis may play an important role in salt tolerance of mulberry. We clarified the molecular mechanism of mulberry salt tolerance, which is of great significance for the selection of excellent candidate genes for saline-alkali soil management and mulberry stress resistance genetic engineering.

Comparative ribosome profiling reveals distinct translational landscapes of salt-sensitive and -tolerant rice. BMC Genomics 2021; 22:612.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soil salinization represents a serious threat to global rice production. Although significant research has been conducted to understand salt stress at the genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic levels, few studies have focused on the translatomic responses to this stress. Recent studies have suggested that transcriptional and translational responses to salt stress can often operate independently. RESULTS We sequenced RNA and ribosome-protected fragments (RPFs) from the salt-sensitive rice (O. sativa L.) cultivar 'Nipponbare' (NB) and the salt-tolerant cultivar 'Sea Rice 86' (SR86) under normal and salt stress conditions. A large discordance between salt-induced transcriptomic and translatomic alterations was found in both cultivars, with more translationally regulated genes being observed in SR86 in comparison to NB. A biased ribosome occupancy, wherein RPF depth gradually increased from the 5' ends to the 3' ends of coding regions, was revealed in NB and SR86. This pattern was strengthened by salt stress, particularly in SR86. On the contrary, the strength of ribosome stalling was accelerated in salt-stressed NB but decreased in SR86. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that translational reprogramming represents an important layer of salt stress responses in rice, and the salt-tolerant cultivar SR86 adopts a more flexible translationally adaptive strategy to cope with salt stress compared to the salt susceptible cultivar NB. The differences in translational dynamics between NB and SR86 may derive from their differing levels of ribosome stalling under salt stress.

Abstract
The study of endophytic bacteria in saline-alkali tolerant rice seeds is of great help to the follow-up study of saline-alkali tolerant mechanism and the exploitation of saline-alkali tolerant microbial resources. In this study, high-throughput sequencing technology based on the Illumina Miseq platform was used to reveal the "core microbiota" by examining the diversity and community structures of seed endophytic bacteria in saline-alkali tolerant rice grown under different salt concentrations and explore the effect of salt concentration on its endophytic bacteria. Here, 49 endophytic OTUs were found to coexist in all samples. At the phylum level, the dominant phyla were Proteobacteria (83.90 %-99.87 %). At the genus level, Pantoea (44.65-94.76 %) which represents the core microbiota in saline-alkali tolerant rice seeds, served as the dominant genus that coexisted in all samples tested. Through further analysis, we found that the abundance of Pantoea in saline-alkali tolerant rice seeds was positively proportional to the level of salt concentration. Overall, this study showed that the core microbiota of saline-alkali tolerant rice seeds is Pantoea, and the change of salt concentration is a key factor in the formation of endophytic bacteria in saline-alkali tolerant rice seeds.

Abstract
Due to the non-renewable nature of fossil fuels, microbial fermentation is considered a sustainable approach for chemical production using glucose, xylose, menthol, and other complex carbon sources represented by lignocellulosic biomass. Among these, xylose, methanol, arabinose, glycerol, and other alternative feedstocks have been identified as superior non-food sustainable carbon substrates that can be effectively developed for microbe-based bioproduction. Corynebacterium glutamicum is a model gram-positive bacterium that has been extensively engineered to produce amino acids and other chemicals. Recently, in order to reduce production costs and avoid competition for human food, C. glutamicum has also been engineered to broaden its substrate spectrum. Strengthening endogenous metabolic pathways or assembling heterologous ones enables C. glutamicum to rapidly catabolize a multitude of carbon sources. This review summarizes recent progress in metabolic engineering of C. glutamicum toward a broad substrate spectrum and diverse chemical production. In particularly, utilization of lignocellulosic biomass-derived complex hybrid carbon source represents the futural direction for non-food renewable feedstocks was discussed.

Abstract
Salinity is a major abiotic constraint for rice farming. Abundant natural variability exists in rice germplasm for salt tolerance traits. Since few studies focused on the genome level variation in rice genotypes with contrasting response to salt stress, genomic resequencing in diverse genetic materials is needed to elucidate the molecular basis of salt tolerance mechanisms. The whole genome sequences of two salt tolerant (Pokkali and Nona Bokra) and three salt sensitive (Bengal, Cocodrie, and IR64) rice genotypes were analyzed. A total of 413 million reads were generated with a mean genome coverage of 93% and mean sequencing depth of 18X. Analysis of the DNA polymorphisms revealed that 2347 nonsynonymous SNPs and 51 frameshift mutations could differentiate the salt tolerant from the salt sensitive genotypes. The integration of genome-wide polymorphism information with the QTL mapping and expression profiling data led to identification of 396 differentially expressed genes with large effect variants in the coding regions. These genes were involved in multiple salt tolerance mechanisms, such as ion transport, oxidative stress tolerance, signal transduction, and transcriptional regulation. The genome-wide DNA polymorphisms and the promising candidate genes identified in this study represent a valuable resource for molecular breeding of salt tolerant rice varieties.

Abstract
Soil salinization and a degraded ecological environment are challenging agricultural productivity and food security. Rice (Oryza sativa), the staple food of much of the world’s population, is categorized as a salt-susceptible crop. Improving the salt tolerance of rice would increase the potential of saline-alkali land and ensure food security. Salt tolerance is a complex quantitative trait. Biotechnological efforts to improve the salt tolerance of rice hinge on a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying salt stress tolerance. In this review, we summarize progress in the breeding of salt-tolerant rice and in the mapping and cloning of genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with salt tolerance in rice. Furthermore, we describe biotechnological tools that can be used to cultivate salt-tolerant rice, providing a reference for efforts aimed at rapidly and precisely cultivating salt-tolerance rice varieties.

Abstract
Higher vacuolar proton pump activity may increase plant energy and nutrient use efficiency and provide the nexus between plant inoculation with Herbaspirillum seropedicae and growth promotion. Global change and growing human population are exhausting arable land and resources, including water and fertilizers. We present inoculation with the endophytic plant-growth promoting bacterium (PGPB) Herbaspirillum seropedicae as a strategy for promoting growth, nutrient uptake and photosynthetic efficiency in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Because plant nutrient acquisition is coordinated with photosynthesis and the plant carbon status, we hypothesize that inoculation with H. seropedicae will stimulate proton (H+) pumps, increasing plant growth nutrient uptake and photosynthetic efficiency at low nutrient levels. Plants were inoculated and grown in pots with sterile soil for 90 days. Herbaspirillum seropedicae endophytic colonization was successful and, as hypothesized, inoculation (1) stimulated root vacuolar H+ pumps (vacuolar H+-ATPase and vacuolar H+-PPase), and (2) increased plant growth, nutrient contents and photosynthetic efficiency. The results showed that inoculation with the endophytic bacterium H. seropedicae can promote plant growth, nutrient uptake and photosynthetic efficiency, which will likely result in a more efficient use of resources (nutrients and water) and higher production of nutrient-rich food at reduced economic and environmental costs.

Abstract
Histone acetylation plays an important role in regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression in terms of responding to abiotic stresses. Histone acetylation is modulated by histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone acetyltransferases. Recently, the effectiveness of HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) for conferring plant salt tolerance has been reported. However, the role of HDACis in cotton has not been elucidated. In the present study, we assessed the effects of the HDACi suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) during high salinity stress in cotton. We demonstrated that 10 μM SAHA pretreatment could rescue of cotton from 250 mM NaCl stress, accompanied with reduced Na+ accumulation and a strong expression of the ion homeostasis-related genes. Western blotting and immunostaining results revealed that SAHA pretreatment could induce global hyperacetylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9) and histone H4 at lysine 5 (H4K5) under 250 mM NaCl stress, indicating that SAHA could act as the HDACi in cotton. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and chromatin accessibility coupled with real time quantitative PCR analyses showed that the upregulation of the ion homeostasis-related genes was associated with the elevated acetylation levels of H3K9 and H4K5 and increased chromatin accessibility on the promoter regions of these genes. Our results could provide a theoretical basis for analyzing the mechanism of HDACi application on salt tolerance in plants.

Abstract
Salt-tolerant rice cultivar (sea rice) is a research hotspot worldwide due to its high yield in high salinity soil. However, knowledge regarding the cadmium (Cd) effects on the growth of sea rice is limited. To determine the short-term and long-term impact of Cd stress, relatively low/high Cd-accumulative rice cultivars and sea rice were grown to compare their growth responses to Cd stress over time. The results showed that sea rice presented the highest Cd concentrations in the root, stem, and leaves under 32-days of Cd stress. Cd stress shortened and thickened the rice root, and decreased the proportion of root diameters in the 0-0.2 mm range. Cd stress remarkably increased the Cd and Fe concentration in dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate (DCB) extracts, and the DCB-Cd and DCB-Fe concentrations were the highest in sea rice. The subcellular distribution of Cd in the rice roots indicated that Cd accumulated the most in the soluble fraction and cell wall. The contents of pectin and hemicellulose 2 in the root cell wall of the low-Cd accumulative rice variety CL755 were higher than those in MXZ and sea rice. Collectively, this work provides a general understanding of the Cd effects on sea rice growth and indicates that sea rice has a relatively high Cd accumulation compared with the other two rice cultivars. However, the specifically-related mechanism remains to be further studied.

Abstract
Rice, being a major staple food crop and sensitive to salinity conditions, bears heavy yield losses due to saline soil. Although some salt responsive genes have been identified in rice, their applications in developing salt tolerant cultivars have resulted in limited achievements. Herein, we used bioinformatic approaches to perform a meta-analysis of three transcriptome datasets from salinity and control conditions in order to reveal novel genes and the molecular pathways underlying rice response to salt. From a total of 28,432 expressed genes, we identify 457 core differentially expressed genes (DEGs) constitutively responding to salt, regardless of the stress duration, genotype, or the tissue. Gene co-expression analysis divided the core DEGs into three different modules, each of them contributing to salt response in a unique metabolic pathway. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses highlighted key biological processes and metabolic pathways involved in the salt response. We identified important novel hub genes encoding proteins of different families including CAM, DUF630/632, DUF581, CHL27, PP2-13, LEA4-5, and transcription factors, which could be functionally characterized using reverse genetic experiments. This novel repertoire of candidate genes related to salt response in rice will be useful for engineering salt tolerant varieties.

Abstract
Abiotic stress tolerance is a complex trait regulated by multiple genes and gene networks in plants. A range of abiotic stresses are known to limit rice productivity. Meta-transcriptomics has emerged as a powerful approach to decipher stress-associated molecular network in model crops. However, retaining specificity of gene expression in tolerant and susceptible genotypes during meta-transcriptome analysis is important for understanding genotype-dependent stress tolerance mechanisms. Addressing this aspect, we describe here "abiotic stress tolerant" (ASTR) genes and networks specifically and differentially expressing in tolerant rice genotypes in response to different abiotic stress conditions. We identified 6,956 ASTR genes, key hub regulatory genes, transcription factors, and functional modules having significant association with abiotic stress-related ontologies and cis-motifs. Out of the 6956 ASTR genes, 73 were co-located within the boundary of previously identified abiotic stress trait-related quantitative trait loci. Functional annotation of 14 uncharacterized ASTR genes is proposed using multiple computational methods. Around 65% of the top ASTR genes were found to be differentially expressed in at least one of the tolerant genotypes under different stress conditions (cold, salt, drought, or heat) from publicly available RNAseq data comparison. The candidate ASTR genes specifically associated with tolerance could be utilized for engineering rice and possibly other crops for broad-spectrum tolerance to abiotic stresses.
