Abstract
Rhizosphere microbial community assembly results from microbe-microbe-plant interactions mediated by small molecules of plant and microbial origin. Studies with Arabidopsis thaliana have indicated a critical role of glucosinolates in shaping the root and/or rhizosphere microbial community, likely through breakdown products produced by plant or microbial myrosinases inside or outside of the root. Plant nitrile-specifier proteins (NSPs) promote the formation of nitriles at the expense of isothiocyanates upon glucosinolate hydrolysis with unknown consequences for microbial colonisation of roots and rhizosphere. Here, we generated the A. thaliana triple mutant nsp134 devoid of nitrile formation in root homogenates. Using this line and mutants lacking aliphatic or indole glucosinolate biosynthesis pathways or both, we found bacterial/archaeal alpha-diversity of the rhizosphere to be affected only by the ability to produce aliphatic glucosinolates. In contrast, bacterial/archaeal community composition depended on functional root NSPs as well as on pathways of aliphatic and indole glucosinolate biosynthesis. Effects of NSP deficiency were strikingly distinct from those of impaired glucosinolate biosynthesis. Our results demonstrate that rhizosphere microbial community assembly depends on functional pathways of both glucosinolate biosynthesis and breakdown in support of the hypothesis that glucosinolate hydrolysis by myrosinases and NSPs happens before secretion of products to the rhizosphere.

Abstract
Glucosinolates (GSLs) are sulfur (S)-rich specialized metabolites present in Brassicales order plants. Our previous study found that GSL can function as a S source in Arabidopsis seedlings via its catabolism catalyzed by two β-glucosidases (BGLUs), BGLU28 and BGLU30. However, as GSL profiles in plants vary among growth stages and organs, the potential contribution of BGLU28/30-dependent GSL catabolism at the reproductive growth stage needs verification. Thus, in this study, we assessed growth, metabolic and transcriptional phenotypes of mature bglu28/30 double mutants grown under different S conditions. Our results showed that compared to wild-type plants grown under -S, mature bglu28/30 mutants displayed impaired growth and accumulated increased levels of GSL in their reproductive organs and rosette leaves of before-bolting plants. In contrast, the levels of primary S-containing metabolites, glutathione and cysteine decreased in their mature seeds. Furthermore, the transport of GSL from rosette leaves to the reproductive organs was stimulated in the bglu28/30 mutants under -S. Transcriptome analysis revealed that genes related to other biological processes, such as ethylene response, defense response and plant response to heat, responded differentially to -S in the bglu28/30 mutants. Altogether, these findings broadened our understanding of the roles of BGLU28/30-dependent GSL catabolism in plant adaptation to nutrient stress.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1132881. [PMID: 37063208 PMCID: PMC10090499 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1132881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Temperature affects seed germination and seedling growth, which is a critical and complex stage in plant life cycle. However, comprehensive metabolic basis on temperature implicating seed germination and seedling growth remains less known. Here, we applied the high-throughput untargeted metabolomic and advanced shotgun lipidomic approaches to profile the Arabidopsis 182 metabolites and 149 lipids under moderate (22°C, 28°C) and extreme high (34°C, 40°C) temperatures. Our results showed that a typical feature of the metabolism related to organic acids/derivates and amines was obviously enriched at the moderate temperature, which was implicated in many cellular responses towards tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), carbohydrates and amino acids metabolism, peptide biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and indole 3-acetate (IAA) biosynthetic pathway. Whereas, under extreme high temperatures, there was no seed germination, but 148 out of total 182 metabolites were highly enriched, involving in the galactose metabolism, fatty acid degradation, tryptophan/phenylalanine metabolism, and shikimic acid-mediated pathways especially including alkaloids metabolism and glucosinolate/flavone/flavonol biosynthesis. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) also exhibited the gradually increased tendency from moderate temperatures to extreme high temperatures; whereas phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG) were contrary to decrease. Another typical feature of the distinguished metabolites between 22°C and 28°C, the TCA, disaccharides, nucleotides, polypeptides, SQDG and the biosynthesis of fatty acids and glucobrassicin-mediated IAA were obviously decreased at 28°C, while amino acids, trisaccharides, PE, PC, PA, PS, MGDG, DGDG and diacylglycerol (DAG) preferred to enrich at 28°C, which characterized the alteration of metabolites and lipids during fast seedling growth. Taking together, our results provided the comprehensive metabolites phenotyping, revealed the characteristics of metabolites necessary for seed germination and/or seedling growth under different temperatures, and provided insights into the different metabolic regulation of metabolites and lipid homeostasis for seed germination and seedling growth.
