Molecular characterization and expression of cyclic nucleotide gated ion channels 19 and 20 in Arabidopsis thaliana for their potential role in salt stress. Saudi J Biol Sci 2021; 28:5800-5807. [PMID: 34588894 PMCID: PMC8459076 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2021.06.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2021] [Revised: 06/06/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide gated ion channels (CNGCs) in plants have very important role in signaling and development. The study reports role of CNGC19 and CNGC20 in salt stress in A. thaliana. In-silico, genome wide analysis showed that CNGC19 and CNGC20 are related to salt stress with maximum expression after 6 h in A. thaliana. The position of inserted T-DNA was determined (in-vivo) through TAIL-PCR for activation tagged mutants of CNGC19 and CNGC20 under salt stress. The expression of AtCNGC19 and AtCNGC20 after cloning under 35S promoter of expression vectors pBCH1 and pEarleyGate100 was determined in A. thaliana by real-time PCR analysis. Genome wide analysis showed that AtCNGC11 had lowest and AtCNGC20 highest molecular weight as well as number of amino acid residues. In-vivo expression of AtCNGC19 and AtCNGC20 was enhanced through T-DNA insertion and 35S promoter in over-expressed plants under high salt concentration. AtCNGC19 was activated twice in control and about five times under 150 mM NaCl stress level, and expression value was also higher than AtCNGC20. Phenotypically, over-expressed plants and calli were healthier while knock-out plants and calli showed retarded growth under salinity stress. The study provides new insight for the role of AtCNGC19 and AtCNGC20 under salt stress regulation in A. thaliana and will be helpful for improvement of crop plants for salt stress to combat food shortage and security.

Abstract
Transgenic technologies have emerged as a powerful tool for crop improvement in terms of yield, quality, and quantity in many countries of the world. However, concerns also exist about the possible risks involved in transgenic crop cultivation. In this review, literature is analyzed to gauge the real intensity of the issues caused by environmental stresses in Pakistan. In addition, the research work on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) development and their performance is analyzed to serve as a guide for the scientists to help them select useful genes for crop transformation in Pakistan. The funding of GMOs research in Pakistan shows that it does not follow the global trend. We also present socio-economic impact of GM crops and political dimensions in the seed sector and the policies of the government. We envisage that this review provides guidelines for public and private sectors as well as the policy makers in Pakistan and in other countries that face similar environmental threats posed by the changing climate.

Abstract
Plants are constantly challenged in their natural environment by a range of changing conditions. We investigated the acclimation processes and adaptive plant responses to various long-term mild changes and compared them directly within one experimental set-up. Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown in hydroponic culture for 10 d under controlled abiotic stress (15°C, 25°C, salt and osmotic) and in nutrient deficiency (nitrate and phosphate). Plant growth was monitored and proteomic experiments were performed. Resource allocation between tissues altered during the plants' response. The growth patterns and induced changes of the proteomes indicated that the underlying mechanisms of the adaptation processes are highly specific to the respective environmental condition. Our results indicated differential regulation of response to salt and osmotic treatment, while the proteins in the changed temperature regime showed an inverse, temperature-sensitive control. There was a high correlation of protein level between the nutrient-deficient treatments, but the enriched pathways varied greatly. The proteomic analysis also revealed new insights into the regulation of proteins specific to the shoot and the root. Our investigation revealed unique strategies of plant acclimation to the different applied treatments on a physiological and proteome level, and these strategies are quite distinct in tissues below and above ground.
