Zhang X, Wang H, Chen Y, Huang M, Zhu S. The Over-Expression of Two R2R3-MYB Genes, PdMYB2R089 and PdMYB2R151, Increases the Drought-Resistant Capacity of Transgenic Arabidopsis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13466. [PMID: 37686270 PMCID: PMC10487491 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241713466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The R2R3-MYB genes in plants play an essential role in the drought-responsive signaling pathway. Plenty of R2R3-MYB S21 and S22 subgroup genes in Arabidopsis have been implicated in dehydration conditions, yet few have been covered in terms of the role of the S21 and S22 subgroup genes in poplar under drought. PdMYB2R089 and PdMYB2R151 genes, respectively belonging to the S21 and S22 subgroups of NL895 (Populus deltoides × P. euramericana cv. 'Nanlin895'), were selected based on the previous expression analysis of poplar R2R3-MYB genes that are responsive to dehydration. The regulatory functions of two target genes in plant responses to drought stress were studied and speculated through the genetic transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana. PdMYB2R089 and PdMYB2R151 could promote the closure of stomata in leaves, lessen the production of malondialdehyde (MDA), enhance the activity of the peroxidase (POD) enzyme, and shorten the life cycle of transgenic plants, in part owing to their similar conserved domains. Moreover, PdMYB2R089 could strengthen root length and lateral root growth. These results suggest that PdMYB2R089 and PdMYB2R151 genes might have the potential to improve drought adaptability in plants. In addition, PdMYB2R151 could significantly improve the seed germination rate of transgenic Arabidopsis, but PdMYB2R089 could not. This finding provides a clue for the subsequent functional dissection of S21 and S22 subgroup genes in poplar that is responsive to drought.

Transcriptomic and splicing changes underlying tomato responses to combined water and nutrient stress. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:974048.

Abstract
Tomato is a horticultural crop of high economic and nutritional value. Suboptimal environmental conditions, such as limited water and nutrient availability, cause severe yield reductions. Thus, selection of genotypes requiring lower inputs is a goal for the tomato breeding sector. We screened 10 tomato varieties exposed to water deficit, low nitrate or a combination of both. Biometric, physiological and molecular analyses revealed different stress responses among genotypes, identifying T270 as severely affected, and T250 as tolerant to the stresses applied. Investigation of transcriptome changes caused by combined stress in roots and leaves of these two genotypes yielded a low number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in T250 compared to T270, suggesting that T250 tailors changes in gene expression to efficiently respond to combined stress. By contrast, the susceptible tomato activated approximately one thousand and two thousand genes in leaves and roots respectively, indicating a more generalized stress response in this genotype. In particular, developmental and stress-related genes were differentially expressed, such as hormone responsive factors and transcription factors. Analysis of differential alternative splicing (DAS) events showed that combined stress greatly affects the splicing landscape in both genotypes, highlighting the important role of AS in stress response mechanisms. In particular, several stress and growth-related genes as well as transcription and splicing factors were differentially spliced in both tissues. Taken together, these results reveal important insights into the transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms regulating tomato adaptation to growth under reduced water and nitrogen inputs.

Genome-wide identification of HD-ZIP transcription factors in maize and their regulatory roles in promoting drought tolerance.

[PMID: 35400885 PMCID: PMC8943141 DOI: 10.1007/s12298-022-01147-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Drought is the main limiting factor of maize productivity, therefore improving drought tolerance in maize has potential practical importance. Cloning and functional verification of drought-tolerant genes is of great importance to understand molecular mechanisms under drought stress. Here, we employed a bioinformatic pipeline to identify 42 ZmHDZ drought responsive genes using previously reported maize transcriptomic datasets. The coding sequences, exon-intron structure and domain organization of all the 42 genes were identified. Phylogenetic analysis revealed evolutionary conservation of members of the ZmHDZ genes in maize. Several regulatory elements associated with drought tolerance were identified in the promoter regions of ZmHDZ genes, indicating the implication of these genes in plant response to drought stress. 42 ZmHDZ genes were distributed unevenly on 10 chromosomes, and 24 pairs of gene duplications were the segmental duplication. The expression of several ZmHDZ genes was upregulated under drought stress, and ZmHDZ9 overexpressing transgenic plants exhibited higher SOD and POD activities and higher accumulation of soluble proteins under drought stress which resulted in enhanced developed phenotype and improved resistance. The present study provides evidence for the evolutionary conservation of HD-ZIP transcription factors homologs in maize. The results further provide a comprehensive insight into the roles of ZmHDZ genes in regulating drought stress tolerance in maize.

Whole-Genome Duplication and Purifying Selection Contributes to the Functional Redundancy of Auxin Response Factor ( ARF) Genes in Foxtail Millet ( Setaria italica L.). Int J Genomics 2021; 2021:2590665. [PMID: 34414231 PMCID: PMC8369178 DOI: 10.1155/2021/2590665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Auxin response factors (ARFs) play crucial roles in auxin-mediated response, whereas molecular genetics of ARF genes was seldom investigated in Setaria italica, an important crop and C4 model plant. In the present study, genome-wide evolutionary analysis of ARFs was performed in S. italica. Twenty-four SiARF genes were identified and unevenly distributed on eight of the nine chromosomes in S. italica. Duplication mode exploration implied that 13 SiARF proteins were originated from whole-genome duplication and suffered purifying selection. Phylogeny reconstruction of SiARFs by maximum likelihood and neighbor-joining trees revealed SiARFs could be divided into four clades. SiARFs clustered within the same clade shared similar gene structure and protein domain composition, implying functional redundancy. Moreover, amino acid composition of the middle regions was conserved in SiARFs belonged to the same clade. SiARFs were categorized into either activators or repressors according to the enrichment of specific amino acids. Intrinsic disorder was featured in the middle regions of ARF activators. Finally, expression profiles of SiARFs under hormone and abiotic stress treatment not only revealed their potential function in stress response but also indicate their functional redundancy. Overall, our results provide insights into evolutionary aspects of SiARFs and benefit for further functional characterization.

Abstract
Auxin response factors (ARFs) are one type of essential family of transcription factors that bind with auxin response elements (AuxRE), and play vital roles in variety of plant development and physiological processes. Brachypodium distachyon, related to the major cereal grain species, were recently developed to be a good model organism for functional genomics research. So far, genome-wide overview of the ARF gene family in B. distachyon was not available. Here, a systemic analysis of ARF gene family members in B. distachyon was performed. A comprehensive overview of the characterization of the BdARFs was obtained by multiple bioinformatics analyses, including the gene and protein structure, chromosome locations, conserved motifs of proteins, phylogenetic analysis, and cis-elements in promoters of BdARF. Results showed that all BdARFs contained conserved DBD, MR, and CTD could be divided into four classes, Ia, IIa, IIb, and III. Expression profiles of BdARF genes indicated that they were expressed across various tissues and organs, which could be clustered into three main expression groups, and most of BdARF genes were involved in phytohormone signal transduction pathways and regulated physiological process in responding to multiple environmental stresses. And predicted regulatory network between B. distachyon ARFs and IAAs was also discussed. Our genomics analysis of BdARFs could yield new insights into the complexity of the control of BdARF genes and lead to potential applications in the investigation of the accurate regulatory mechanisms of ARFs in herbaceous plants.

PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL 2016; 14:1470-83.

Abstract
The hyperaccumulating ecotype of Sedum alfredii Hance is a cadmium (Cd)/zinc/lead co-hyperaccumulating species of Crassulaceae. It is a promising phytoremediation candidate accumulating substantial heavy metal ions without obvious signs of poisoning. However, few studies have focused on the regulatory roles of miRNAs and their targets in the hyperaccumulating ecotype of S. alfredii. Here, we combined analyses of the transcriptomics, sRNAs and the degradome to generate a comprehensive resource focused on identifying key regulatory miRNA-target circuits under Cd stress. A total of 87 721 unigenes and 356 miRNAs were identified by deep sequencing, and 79 miRNAs were differentially expressed under Cd stress. Furthermore, 754 target genes of 194 miRNAs were validated by degradome sequencing. A gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of differential miRNA targets revealed that auxin, redox-related secondary metabolism and metal transport pathways responded to Cd stress. An integrated analysis uncovered 39 pairs of miRNA targets that displayed negatively correlated expression profiles. Ten miRNA-target pairs also exhibited negative correlations according to a real-time quantitative PCR analysis. Moreover, a coexpression regulatory network was constructed based on profiles of differentially expressed genes. Two hub genes, ARF4 (auxin response factor 4) and AAP3 (amino acid permease 3), which might play central roles in the regulation of Cd-responsive genes, were uncovered. These results suggest that comprehensive analyses of the transcriptomics, sRNAs and the degradome provided a useful platform for investigating Cd hyperaccumulation in S. alfredii, and may provide new insights into the genetic engineering of phytoremediation.

Abstract
Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is a heterotrimeric transcription factor (TF) complex with preferential binding to CCAAT elements of promoters, regulating gene expression in most of the higher eukaryotes. The availability of plant genome sequences have revealed multiple number of genes coding for the three subunits, namely NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC in contrast to single NF-Y gene for each subunit reported in yeast and animals. A total of 33 NF-YTF comprising of 8 NF-YA, 11 NF-YB and 14 NF-YC subunits were accessed from the sorghum genome. The bioinformatic characterization of NF-Y gene family of sorghum for gene structure, chromosome location, protein motif, phylogeny, gene duplication and in-silico expression under abiotic stresses have been attempted in the present study. The identified SbNF-Y genes are distributed on all the 10 chromosomes of sorghum with variability in the frequency and 18 out of 33 SbNF-Ys were found to be intronless. Segmental duplication event was found to be predominant feature based on gene duplication pattern study. Several orthologs and paralogs groups were disclosed through the comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of SbNF-Y proteins along with 36 Arabidopsis and 28 rice NF-Y proteins. In-silico expression analysis under abiotic stresses using rice transcriptome data revealed several of the sorghum NF-Y genes to be associated with salt, drought, cold and heat stresses.

Abstract
Auxin signaling regulates various auxin-responsive genes via two types of transcriptional regulators, Auxin Response Factors (ARF) and Aux/IAA. ARF transcription factors act as critical components of auxin signaling that play important roles in modulating various biological processes. However, limited information about this gene family in fruit crops is currently available. Herein, 47 ARF genes were identified in banana based on its genome sequence. Phylogenetic analysis of the ARFs from banana, rice, and Arabidopsis suggested that the ARFs could be divided into four subgroups, among which most ARFs from the banana showed a closer relationship with those from rice than those from Arabidopsis. Conserved motif analysis showed that all identified MaARFs had typical DNA-binding and ARF domains, but 12 members lacked the dimerization domain. Gene structure analysis showed that the number of exons in MaARF genes ranged from 5 to 21, suggesting large variation amongst banana ARF genes. The comprehensive expression profiles of MaARF genes yielded useful information about their involvement in diverse tissues, different stages of fruit development and ripening, and responses to abiotic stresses in different varieties. Interaction networks and co-expression assays indicated the strong transcriptional response of banana ARFs and ARF-mediated networks in early fruit development for different varieties. Our systematic analysis of MaARFs revealed robust tissue-specific, development-dependent, and abiotic stress-responsive candidate MaARF genes for further functional assays in planta. These findings could lead to potential applications in the genetic improvement of banana cultivars, and yield new insights into the complexity of the control of MaARF gene expression at the transcriptional level. Finally, they support the hypothesis that ARFs are a crucial component of the auxin signaling pathway, which regulates a wide range of physiological processes.
