FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1364631. [PMID: 38766468 PMCID: PMC11102048 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1364631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Introduction Watermelon is an annual vine of the family Cucurbitaceae. Watermelon plants produce a fruit that people love and have important nutritional and economic value. With global warming and deterioration of the ecological environment, abiotic stresses, including drought, have become important factors that impact the yield and quality of watermelon plants. Previous research on watermelon drought resistance has included analyzing homologous genes based on known drought-responsive genes and pathways in other species. Methods However, identifying key pathways and genes involved in watermelon drought resistance through high-throughput omics methods is particularly important. In this study, RNA-seq and metabolomic analysis were performed on watermelon plants at five time points (0 h, 1 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h) before and after drought stress. Results Transcriptomic analysis revealed 7829 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at the five time points. The DEGs were grouped into five clusters using the k-means clustering algorithm. The functional category for each cluster was annotated based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database; different clusters were associated with different time points after stress. A total of 949 metabolites were divided into 10 categories, with lipids and lipid-like molecules accounting for the most metabolites. Differential expression analysis revealed 22 differentially regulated metabolites (DRMs) among the five time points. Through joint analysis of RNA-seq and metabolome data, the 6-h period was identified as the critical period for watermelon drought resistance, and the starch and sucrose metabolism, plant hormone signal transduction and photosynthesis pathways were identified as important regulatory pathways involved in watermelon drought resistance. In addition, 15 candidate genes associated with watermelon drought resistance were identified through joint RNA-seq and metabolome analysis combined with weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). Four of these genes encode transcription factors, including bHLH (Cla97C03G068160), MYB (Cla97C01G002440), HSP (Cla97C02G033390) and GRF (Cla97C02G042620), one key gene in the ABA pathway, SnRK2-4 (Cla97C10G186750), and the GP-2 gene (Cla97C05G105810), which is involved in the starch and sucrose metabolism pathway. Discussion In summary, our study provides a theoretical basis for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying drought resistance in watermelon plants and provides new genetic resources for the study of drought resistance in this crop.

Abstract
Lolium multiflorum is one of the world-famous forage grasses with rich biomass, fast growth rate and good nutritional quality. However, its growth and forage yield are often affected by drought, which is a major natural disaster all over the world. MYB transcription factors have some specific roles in response to drought stress, such as regulation of stomatal development and density, control of cell wall and root development. However, the biological function of MYB in L. multiflorum remains unclear. Previously, we elucidated the role of LmMYB1 in enhancing osmotic stress resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, this study elucidates the biological function of LmMYB1 in enhancing plant drought tolerance through an ABA-dependent pathway involving the regulation of cell wall development and stomatal density. After drought stress and ABA stress, the expression of LmMYB1 in L. multiflorum was significantly increased. Overexpression of LmMYB1 increased the survival rate of Arabidopsis thaliana under drought stress. Under drought conditions, expression levels of drought-responsive genes such as AtRD22, AtRAB and AtAREB were up-regulated in OE compared with those in WT. Further observation showed that the stomatal density of OE was reduced, which was associated with the up-regulated expression of cell wall-related pathway genes in the RNA-Seq results. In conclusion, this study confirmed the biological function of LmMYB1 in improving drought tolerance by mediating cell wall development through the ABA-dependent pathway and thereby affecting stomatal density.

Response to Osmotic Stress Determined via Single-Molecule Real-Time Sequencing and Next-Generation Sequencing. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:2624. [PMID: 37514239 PMCID: PMC10385767 DOI: 10.3390/plants12142624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
Drought, as a widespread environmental factor in nature, has become one of the most critical factors restricting the yield of forage grass. Sudangrass (Sorghum sudanense (Piper) Stapf.), as a tall and large grass, has a large biomass and is widely used as forage and biofuel. However, its growth and development are limited by drought stress. To obtain novel insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the drought response and excavate drought tolerance genes in sudangrass, the first full-length transcriptome database of sudangrass under drought stress at different time points was constructed by combining single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) and next-generation transcriptome sequencing (NGS). A total of 32.3 Gb of raw data was obtained, including 20,199 full-length transcripts with an average length of 1628 bp after assembly and correction. In total, 11,921 and 8559 up- and down-regulated differentially expressed genes were identified between the control group and plants subjected to drought stress. Additionally, 951 transcription factors belonging to 50 families and 358 alternative splicing events were found. A KEGG analysis of 158 core genes exhibiting continuous changes over time revealed that 'galactose metabolism' is a hub pathway and raffinose synthase 2 and β-fructofuranosidase are key genes in the response to drought stress. This study revealed the molecular mechanism underlying drought tolerance in sudangrass. Furthermore, the genes identified in this study provide valuable resources for further research into the response to drought stress.

Abstract
Abiotic stress is the adverse effect of any abiotic factor on a plant in a given environment, impacting plants' growth and development. These stress factors, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, are often interrelated or in conjunction with each other. Plants have evolved mechanisms to sense these environmental challenges and make adjustments to their growth in order to survive and reproduce. In this review, we summarized recent studies on plant stress sensing and its regulatory mechanism, emphasizing signal transduction and regulation at multiple levels. Then we presented several strategies to improve plant growth under stress based on current progress. Finally, we discussed the implications of research on plant response to abiotic stresses for high-yielding crops and agricultural sustainability. Studying stress signaling and regulation is critical to understand abiotic stress responses in plants to generate stress-resistant crops and improve agricultural sustainability.

Front Genet 2022; 13:1077958. [PMID: 36523761 PMCID: PMC9744756 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.1077958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
B-box (BBX) which are a class of zinc finger transcription factors, play an important role in regulating of photoperiod, photomorphogenesis, and biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. However, there are few studies on the involvement of BBX transcription factors in response to abiotic stresses in sweet potato. In this paper, we cloned the DNA and promoter sequences of IbBBX28. There was one B-box conserved domain in IbBBX28, and the expression of IbBBX28 was induced under drought stress. Under drought stress, compared to wild type Arabidopsis, the protective enzyme activities (SOD, POD, and CAT) were all decreased in IbBBX28-overexpression Arabidopsis but increased in the mutant line bbx28, while the MDA content was increased in the IbBBX28-overexpression Arabidopsis and decreased in the bbx28. Moreover, the expression levels of the resistance-related genes showed the same trend as the protective enzyme activities. These results showed that IbBBX28 negatively regulates drought tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis. Additionally, the yeast two-hybrid and BiFC assays verified that IbBBX28 interacted with IbHOX11 and IbZMAT2. The above results provide important clues for further studies on the role of IbBBX28 in regulating the stress response in sweet potato.
