Qamar ZU, Uzair M, Hameed A, Zafar SA, Li X. Identification of a novel mutation in the OsMRP5 gene in low phytate Basmati rice mutant and development of CAPS marker for marker-assisted breeding. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1455219. [PMID: 39741669 PMCID: PMC11687226 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1455219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 11/25/2024] [Indexed: 01/03/2025]
Abstract
Low phytate level is a desirable trait because it promotes mineral bioavailability and thus offers a solution to tackle mineral deficiencies. The objectives of the present study were to characterize low phytate (lpa) Basmati rice mutants for the identification of novel mutations in target gene(s) and to develop a PCR-based CAPS (cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence) marker for low phytate Basmati rice. For this purpose, cultivar Super Basmati (Q4) was irradiated with gamma rays (60Co source) and three mutants named Q1 (lpa-5-9), Q2 (lpa-9-13), and Q3 (lpa-59-14) were isolated. Four genes previously been reported for the low phytic acid trait in rice were sequenced in these mutants and no mutation was observed in Q1 and Q2. However, in Q3 (lpa14) mutant a novel mutation in OsMRP5 gene (LOC_Os03g04920`) was detected. Sequence analysis displayed a substitution in the first exon of OsMRP5 at position 1142 bp resulting in the amino acid change from glycine (Gly) to alanine (Ala) at position 381a.a. To facilitate low-phytate breeding program, CAPS marker was developed to confirm this mutation site using the restriction digestion by AluI restriction enzyme. After enzyme digestion, Q3 produces four bands (32, 220, 154, and 32 bp) while Q4 (parent cultivar Super Basmati) produces only 3 bands (32, 374, and 32 bp). These results showed that this CAPS marker is 100% linked with this mutation and can be used for future breeding programs. Present findings provided insights in molecular basis of low phytate trait in rice paving the way for developing low-phytate rice varieties through marker-assisted breeding.

The AtMINPP Gene, Encoding a Multiple Inositol Polyphosphate Phosphatase, Coordinates a Novel Crosstalk between Phytic Acid Metabolism and Ethylene Signal Transduction in Leaf Senescence. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8969. [PMID: 39201658 PMCID: PMC11354338 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25168969] [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: 07/21/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant senescence is a highly coordinated process that is intricately regulated by numerous endogenous and environmental signals. The involvement of phytic acid in various cell signaling and plant processes has been recognized, but the specific roles of phytic acid metabolism in Arabidopsis leaf senescence remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that in Arabidopsis thaliana the multiple inositol phosphate phosphatase (AtMINPP) gene, encoding an enzyme with phytase activity, plays a crucial role in regulating leaf senescence by coordinating the ethylene signal transduction pathway. Through overexpressing AtMINPP (AtMINPP-OE), we observed early leaf senescence and reduced chlorophyll contents. Conversely, a loss-of-function heterozygous mutant (atminpp/+) exhibited the opposite phenotype. Correspondingly, the expression of senescence-associated genes (SAGs) was significantly upregulated in AtMINPP-OE but markedly decreased in atminpp/+. Yeast one-hybrid and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays indicated that the EIN3 transcription factor directly binds to the promoter of AtMINPP. Genetic analysis further revealed that AtMINPP-OE could accelerate the senescence of ein3-1eil1-3 mutants. These findings elucidate the mechanism by which AtMINPP regulates ethylene-induced leaf senescence in Arabidopsis, providing insights into the genetic manipulation of leaf senescence and plant growth.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:5262-5273.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soymilk is a high-quality source of protein and minerals, such as calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn). However, phytic acid in soymilk restricts mineral and protein availability. We here investigated the effects of removing phytic acid on the physicochemical properties, mineral (Ca, Fe, and Zn) bioaccessibility, and protein digestibility of soymilk. RESULTS Physicochemical property analysis revealed that the removal of phytic acid reduced protein accumulation at the gastric stage, thereby facilitating soymilk matrix digestion. The removal of phytic acid significantly increased Zn bioaccessibility by 18.19% in low-protein soymilk and Ca and Fe bioaccessibility by 31.20% and 30.03%, respectively, in high-protein soymilk. CONCLUSION Removing phytic acid was beneficial for the hydrolysis of high-molecular-weight proteins and increased the soluble protein content in soymilk, which was conducive to protein digestion. This study offers a feasible guide for developing plant-based milk with high nutrient bioaccessibility. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Characterization of Triticum turgidum sspp. durum, turanicum, and polonicum grown in Central Italy in relation to technological and nutritional aspects. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1269212.

Abstract
Introduction Wheat is a staple food, with the two most common species being Triticum aestivum and Triticum turgidum ssp. durum. Moreover, the latter, T. turgidum, includes other tetraploid subspecies, among which the sspp. turanicum (Khorasan wheat) and polonicum (Polish wheat), whose importance has increased in the last decades, representing alternative crops for marginal areas, in addition to being a source of genetic diversity. Methods In this work, different accessions of these three subspecies of T. turgidum have been grown in 2 years in the same environment and have been characterized for technological properties and factors affecting nutritional quality, such as fiber amount and the content of micro- and macro-nutrients in grains, and for root morphological traits. Results These analyses allowed the identification, in particular, of a Polish wheat accession showing better technological performances, a higher amount of positive micro- and macro-elements, and a lower amount of toxic cadmium. The modern variety Svevo and the Polish Pol2 showed the lowest and the highest shoot:root ratio, respectively. The high shoot:root ratio in Pol2 was mainly attributable to the decrease in root growth. Although Pol2 had a lower root biomass, its particular root morphology made it more efficient for nutrient uptake, as evident from the greater accumulation of micro- and macro-nutrients. Discussion These results underline that it is not possible to draw general conclusions about the difference between primitive and modern wheats, but rather a case-by-case approach should be chosen.

Interaction between Sulfate and Selenate in Tetraploid Wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) Genotypes. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065443.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient of fundamental importance to human health and the main Se source is from plant-derived foods. Plants mainly take up Se as selenate (SeO42−), through the root sulfate transport system, because of their chemical similarity. The aims of this study were (1) to characterize the interaction between Se and S during the root uptake process, by measuring the expression of genes coding for high-affinity sulfate transporters and (2) to explore the possibility of increasing plant capability to take up Se by modulating S availability in the growth medium. We selected different tetraploid wheat genotypes as model plants, including a modern genotype, Svevo (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum), and three ancient Khorasan wheats, Kamut, Turanicum 21, and Etrusco (Triticum turgidum ssp. turanicum). The plants were cultivated hydroponically for 20 days in the presence of two sulfate levels, adequate (S = 1.2 mM) and limiting (L = 0.06 mM), and three selenate levels (0, 10, 50 μM). Our findings clearly showed the differential expression of genes encoding the two high-affinity transporters (TdSultr1.1 and TdSultr1.3), which are involved in the primary uptake of sulfate from the rhizosphere. Interestingly, Se accumulation in shoots was higher when S was limited in the nutrient solution.
