Abstract
The high frequency, stable somatic embryo system of tea has still not been established due to the limitations of its own characteristics and therefore severely restricts the genetic research and breeding process of tea plants. In this study, the transcriptome was used to illustrate the mechanisms of gene expression regulation in the somatic embryogenesis of tea plants. The number of DEGs for the (IS intermediate stage)_PS (preliminary stage), ES (embryoid stage)_IS and ES_PS stages were 109, 2848 and 1697, respectively. The enrichment analysis showed that carbohydrate metabolic processes were considerably enriched at the ES_IS stage and performed a key role in somatic embryogenesis, while enhanced light capture in photosystem I could provide the material basis for carbohydrates. The pathway analysis showed that the enriched pathways in IS_PS process were far less than those in ES_IS or ES_PS, and the photosynthesis and photosynthetic antenna protein pathway of DEGs in ES_IS or ES_PS stage were notably enriched and up-regulated. The key photosynthesis and photosynthesis antenna protein pathways and the Lhcb1 gene were discovered in tea plants somatic embryogenesis. These results were of great significance to clarify the mechanism of somatic embryogenesis and the breeding research of tea plants.

Chen YM, Fei Q, Xia XR, Ke X, Ye JR, Zhu LH. Pinus massoniana somatic embryo maturation, mycorrhization of regenerated plantlets and its resistance to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1130471. [PMID: 37229134 PMCID: PMC10203517 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1130471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Pine wilt disease, caused by the pine wood nematode (PWN, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), is a major quarantine forest disease that poses a threat to various pine species, including Pinus massoniana (masson pine), worldwide. Breeding of PWN-resistant pine trees is an important approach to prevent the disease. To expedite the production of PWN-resistant P. massoniana accessions, we investigated the effects of maturation medium treatments on somatic embryo development, germination, survival, and rooting. Furthermore, we evaluated the mycorrhization and nematode resistance of regenerated plantlets. Abscisic acid was identified as the main factor affecting maturation, germination, and rooting of somatic embryos in P. massoniana, resulting in a maximum of 34.9 ± 9.4 somatic embryos per ml, 87.3 ± 9.1% germination rate, and 55.2 ± 29.3% rooting rate. Polyethylene glycol was identified as the main factor affecting the survival rate of somatic embryo plantlets, with a survival rate of up to 59.6 ± 6.8%, followed by abscisic acid. Ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculation with Pisolithus orientalis enhanced the shoot height of plantlets regenerated from embryogenic cell line (ECL) 20-1-7. Ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculation also improved the survival rate of plantlets during the acclimatization stage, with 85% of mycorrhized plantlets surviving four months after acclimatization in the greenhouse, compared with 37% non-mycorrhized plantlets. Following PWN inoculation, the wilting rate and the number of nematodes recovered from ECL 20-1-7 were lower than those recovered from ECL 20-1-4 and 20-1-16. The wilting ratios of mycorrhizal plantlets from all cell lines were significantly lower than those of non-mycorrhizal regenerated plantlets. This plantlet regeneration system and mycorrhization method could be used in the large-scale production of nematode-resistance plantlets and to study the interaction between nematode, pines, and mycorrhizal fungi.

Glutathione Plays a Positive Role in the Proliferation of Pinus koraiensis Embryogenic Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314679. [PMID: 36499020 PMCID: PMC9736457 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232314679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
In the large-scale breeding of conifers, cultivating embryogenic cells with good proliferative capacity is crucial in the process of somatic embryogenesis. In the same cultural environment, the proliferative capacity of different cell lines is significantly different. To reveal the regulatory mechanism of proliferation in woody plant cell lines with different proliferative potential, we used Korean pine cell lines with high proliferative potential 001#-001 (Fast) and low proliferative potential 001#-010 (Slow) for analysis. A total of 17 glutathione-related differentially expressed genes was identified between F and S cell lines. A total of 893 metabolites was obtained from the two cell lines in the metabolomic studies. A total of nine metabolites related to glutathione was significantly upregulated in the F cell line compared with the S cell line. The combined analyses revealed that intracellular glutathione might be the key positive regulator mediating the difference in proliferative capacity between F and S cell lines. The qRT-PCR assay validated 11 differentially expressed genes related to glutathione metabolism. Exogenous glutathione and its synthase inhibitor L-buthionine-sulfoximine treatment assay demonstrated the positive role of glutathione in the proliferation of Korean pine embryogenic cells.
