Trehalose alleviates the inhibition of adventitious root formation caused by drought stress in cucumber through regulating ROS metabolism and activating trehalose and plant hormone biosynthesis. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2023; 205:108159. [PMID: 37944244 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2023.108159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
Trehalose (Tre) plays a vital role in response to drought stress in plants but its regulatory mechanism remains unclear. Here, this study explores the mechanism of re-regulated drought tolerance during cucumber adventitious root formation. Our results indicate that 2 mM Tre displays remarkable drought alleviation in the aspect of root number, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight. Under drought stress, Tre could inhibit greatly the MDA, H2O2, and O2- accumulation, enhance obviously the activities of SOD, POD, and CAT enzymes and up-regulate significantly the transcript levels of SOD, POD, and CAT genes. Furthermore, Tre treatment also promotes Tre metabolism during drought stress: significantly increases starch and Tre contents and decreases glucose content, the biosynthesis enzymatic activity of the Tre metabolic pathway including TPS and TPP are enhanced and the activity of degradation enzyme THL is decreased, and corresponding genes TPS1, TPS2, TPPA, and TPPB are up-regulated. Tre significantly reversed the decrease caused by PEG in IAA, ethylene, ABA, and BR contents and the increase caused by PEG in GA3 and KT contents. Collectively, Tre appears to be the effective treatment in counteracting the negative effects of drought stress during adventitious root formation by regulating ROS, Tre metabolisms and plant hormones.

Abstract
Bagging is an effective cultivation strategy to produce attractive and pollution-free kiwifruit. However, the effect and metabolic regulatory mechanism of bagging treatment on kiwifruit quality remain unclear. In this study, transcriptome and metabolome analyses were conducted to determine the regulatory network of the differential metabolites and genes after bagging. Using outer and inner yellow single-layer fruit bags, we found that bagging treatment improved the appearance of kiwifruit, increased the soluble solid content (SSC) and carotenoid and anthocyanin levels, and decreased the chlorophyll levels. We also identified 41 differentially expressed metabolites and 897 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the bagged and control 'Hongyang' fruit. Transcriptome and metabolome analyses revealed that the increase in SSC after bagging treatment was mainly due to the increase in D-glucosamine metabolite levels and eight DEGs involved in amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolic pathways. A decrease in glutamyl-tRNA reductase may be the main reason for the decrease in chlorophyll. Downregulation of lycopene epsilon cyclase and 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase increased carotenoid levels. Additionally, an increase in the levels of the taxifolin-3'-O-glucoside metabolite, flavonoid 3'-monooxygenase, and some transcription factors led to the increase in anthocyanin levels. This study provides novel insights into the effects of bagging on the appearance and internal quality of kiwifruit and enriches our theoretical knowledge on the regulation of color pigment synthesis in kiwifruit.

PLoS One 2023; 18:e0287452. [PMID: 37595005 PMCID: PMC10437954 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0287452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Rose propagation by cuttings is limited by substantial genotypic differences in adventitious root formation. To identify possible genetic factors causing these differences and to develop a marker for marker-assisted selection for high rooting ability, we phenotyped 95 cut and 95 garden rose genotypes in a hydroponic rooting system over 6 weeks. Data on rooting percentage after 3 to 6 weeks, root number, and root fresh mass were highly variable among genotypes and used in association mappings performed on genotypic information from the WagRhSNP 68 K Axiom SNP array for roses. GWAS analyses revealed only one significantly associated SNP for rooting percentage after 3 weeks. Nevertheless, prominent genomic regions/peaks were observed and further analysed for rooting percentage after 6 weeks, root number and root fresh mass. Some of the SNPs in these peak regions were associated with large effects on adventitious root formation traits. Very prominent were ten SNPs, which were all located in a putative phosphoinositide phosphatase SAC9 on chromosome 2 and showed very high effects on rooting percentage after 6 weeks of more than 40% difference between nulliplex and quadruplex genotypes. SAC9 was reported to be involved in the regulation of endocytosis and in combination with other members of the SAC gene family to regulate the translocation of auxin-efflux PIN proteins via the dephosphorylation of phosphoinositides. For one SNP within SAC9, a KASP marker was successfully derived and used to select genotypes with a homozygous allele configuration. Phenotyping these homozygous genotypes for adventitious root formation verified the SNP allele dosage effect on rooting. Hence, the presented KASP derived from a SNP located in SAC9 can be used for marker-assisted selection in breeding programs for high rooting ability in the future.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12051043. [PMID: 37237909 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12051043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Strigolactones (SLs), as a new phytohormone, regulate various physiological and biochemical processes, and a number of stress responses, in plants. In this study, cucumber 'Xinchun NO. 4' is used to study the roles of SLs in seed germination under salt stress. The results show that the seed germination significantly decreases with the increase in the NaCl concentrations (0, 1, 10, 50, and 100 mM), and 50 mM NaCl as a moderate stress is used for further analysis. The different concentrations of SLs synthetic analogs GR24 (1, 5, 10, and 20 μM) significantly promote cucumber seed germination under NaCl stress, with a maximal biological response at 10 μM. An inhibitor of strigolactone (SL) synthesis TIS108 suppresses the positive roles of GR24 in cucumber seed germination under salt stress, suggesting that SL can alleviate the inhibition of seed germination caused by salt stress. To explore the regulatory mechanism of SL-alleviated salt stress, some contents, activities, and genes related to the antioxidant system are measured. The malondialdehyde (MDA), H2O2, O2-, and proline contents are increased, and the levels of ascorbic acid (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) are decreased under salt stress conditions, while GR24 treatment reduces MDA, H2O2, O2-, and proline contents, and increases AsA and GSH contents during seed germination under salt stress. Meanwhile, GR24 treatment enhances the decrease in the activities of antioxidant enzymes caused by salt stress [superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX)], following which antioxidant-related genes SOD, POD, CAT, APX, and GRX2 are up-regulated by GR24 under salt stress. However, TIS108 reversed the positive effects of GR24 on cucumber seed germination under salt stress. Together, the results of this study revealed that GR24 regulates the expression levels of genes related to antioxidants and, therefore, regulates enzymatic activity and non-enzymatic substances and enhances antioxidant capacity, alleviating salt toxicity during seed germination in cucumber.

Identification of Key Genes during Ethylene-Induced Adventitious Root Development in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232112981.

Abstract
Ethylene (ETH), as a key plant hormone, plays critical roles in various processes of plant growth and development. ETH has been reported to induce adventitious rooting. Moreover, our previous studies have shown that exogenous ETH may induce plant adventitious root development in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). However, the key genes involved in this process are still unclear. To explore the key genes in ETH-induced adventitious root development, we employed a transcriptome technique and revealed 1415 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 687 DEGs up-regulated and 728 DEGs down-regulated. Using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, we further identified critical pathways that were involved in ETH-induced adventitious root development, including carbon metabolism (starch and sucrose metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, citrate cycle (TCA cycle), oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid biosynthesis, and fatty acid degradation), secondary metabolism (phenylalanine metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis) and plant hormone signal transduction. In carbon metabolism, ETH reduced the content of sucrose, glucose, starch, the activity of sucrose synthase (SS), sucrose–phosphate synthase (SPS) and hexokinase (HK), and the expressions of CsHK2, pyruvate kinase2 (CsPK2), and CsCYP86A1, whereas it enhanced the expressions of β-amylase 1 (CsBAM1) and β-amylase 3 (CsBAM3). In secondary metabolism, the transcript levels of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (CsPAL) and flavonoid 3′-monooxygenase (CsF3′M) were negatively regulated, and that of primary-amine oxidase (CsPAO) was positively regulated by ETH. Additionally, the indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content and the expressions of auxin and ETH signaling transduction-related genes (auxin transporter-like protein 5 (CsLAX5), CsGH3.17, CsSUAR50, and CsERS) were suppressed, whereas the abscisic acid (ABA) content and the expressions of ABA and BR signaling transduction-related genes (CsPYL1, CsPYL5, CsPYL8, BRI1-associated kinase 1 (CsBAK1), and CsXTH3) were promoted by ETH. Furthermore, the mRNA levels of these genes were confirmed by real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). These results indicate that genes related to carbon metabolism, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and plant hormone signaling transduction are involved in ETH-induced adventitious root development. This work identified the key pathways and genes in ETH-induced adventitious rooting in cucumber, which may provide new insights into ETH-induced adventitious root development and will be useful for investigating the molecular roles of key genes in this process in further studies.

Abstract
NO enhances the resistance of tomato seedlings to salt stress through protein S-nitrosylation and transcriptional regulation, which involves the regulation of MAPK signaling and carbohydrate metabolism. Nitric oxide (NO) regulates various physiological and biochemical processes and stress responses in plants. We found that S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) treatment significantly promoted the growth of tomato seedling under NaCl stress, indicating that NO plays a positive role in salt stress resistance. Moreover, GSNO pretreatment resulted in an increase of endogenous NO level, S-nitrosothiol (SNO) content, S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) activity and GSNOR expression under salt stress, implicating that S-nitrosylation might be involved in NO-alleviating salt stress. To further explore whether S-nitrosylation is a key molecular mechanism of NO-alleviating salt stress, the biotin-switch technique and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were conducted. A total of 1054 putative S-nitrosylated proteins have been identified, which were mainly enriched in chloroplast, cytoplasm and mitochondrion. Among them, 15 and 22 S-nitrosylated proteins were involved in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction and carbohydrate metabolism, respectively. In MAPK signaling, various S-nitrosylated proteins, SAM1, SAM3, SAM, PP2C and SnRK, were down-regulated and MAPK, MAPKK and MAPKK5 were up-regulated at the transcriptional level by GSNO treatment under salt stress compared to NaCl treatment alone. The GSNO pretreatment could reduce ethylene production and ABA content under NaCl stress. In addition, the activities of enzyme identified in carbohydrate metabolism, their expression at the transcriptional level and the metabolite content were up-regulated by GSNO supplication under salt stress, resulting in the activation of glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) cycles. Thus, these results demonstrated that NO might beneficially regulate MAPK signaling at transcriptional levels and activate carbohydrate metabolism at the post-translational and transcriptional level, protecting seedlings from energy deficiency and salinity, thereby alleviating salt stress-induced damage in tomato seedlings. It provides initial insights into the regulatory mechanisms of NO in response to salt stress.

Abscisic Acid Induces Adventitious Rooting in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) by Enhancing Sugar Synthesis. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11182354.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) affects many important plant processes, such as seed germination, root elongation and stomatal movement. However, little information is available about the relationship between ABA and sugar synthesis during adventitious root formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ABA on adventitious root formation in cucumber and whether the effect of this plant hormone on sugar synthesis could be included as a causative factor for adventitious root development. We determined the contents of glucose, sucrose, starch, total sugar and sugar-related enzymes, including sucrose synthase (SS), sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), hexokinase (HK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) activities in ABA treatment. We also quantified the relative expression of sucrose or glucose synthesis genes during this process. Increasing ABA concentrations significantly improved adventitious root formation, with the most considerable effect at 0.05 μM. Compared to the control, ABA treatment showed higher glucose, sucrose, starch and total sugar contents. Moreover, ABA treatment increased glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) and glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) contents in cucumber explants during adventitious root development, which was followed by an increase of activities of sucrose-related enzymes SS and SPS, glucose-related enzymes HK and PK. ABA, meanwhile, upregulated the expression levels of sucrose or glucose synthesis-related genes, including CsSuSy1, CsSuSy6, CsHK1 and CsHK3. These results suggest that ABA may promote adventitious root development by increasing the contents of glucose, sucrose, starch, total sugar, G6P, F6P and G1P, the activities of SS, SPS, HK, SPS and the expression levels of CsSuSy1, CsSuSy6, CsHK1 and CsHK3 genes. These findings provide evidence for the physiological role of ABA during adventitious root formation and provide a new understanding of the possible relationship between ABA and sugar synthesis during adventitious rooting in plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO) has been reported to be participated in adventitious rooting. However, knowledge about the interrelationship between CO and phytohormones during rooting is obscure. The molecular mechanism of CO-induced rooting is currently unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS The roles of CO in adventitious rooting in Cucumis sativus L. at the transcriptional level were investigated. The results show that 10 μM hematin (a CO donor) has a significant positive effect on adventitious rooting in cucumber. A total of 1792 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; 1103 up-regulated and 689 down-regulated) were identified in hematin treatment by RNA sequencing analysis. There were 37, 18 and 19 DEGs significantly enriched in plant hormone signal transduction, sucrose and starch metabolism, and phenylalanine metabolism, respectively. Both transcriptome and real-time quantitative PCR results showed that the expressions of AUX22D, IAA6, SAUR21, SAUR24, GH3.5, CYCD3-3, TIFY10a, TIFY10A and TIF9 promoted the accumulation of IAA, BR, JA and SA in plant hormone signal transduction. The up-regulation of HK3, TPPF, otsB, TPS7, TPS9 and the down-regulation of AGPS1, AGPS3 increased the content of starch and total sugar by mediating the activity of some critical enzymes, including HK, TPS, TPP and AGP. PER47, PER61, PER24, PER66, PER4 and CCR2 increased the lignin content. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that CO could promote the accumulation of plant hormones, starch, sugar and lignin during adventitious rooting by regulating the expression of some related genes, including AUX22D, IAA6, SAUR21, SAUR24, GH3.5, CYCD3-3, TIFY10a, TIFY10A, TIF9 HK3, otsB, TPS7, TPS9, AGPS1, AGPS3, PER47, PER61, PER24, PER66, PER4, and CCR2. Thus, we provides an interesting candidate gene list for further studies on the molecular mechanisms of adventitious rooting.
