Antioxidative response of parthenocarpic tomato, iaa9-3 and iaa9-5, under heat stress condition. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 207:108333. [PMID: 38181640 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.108333] [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: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
It has previously been shown that parthenocarpic tomato mutants, iaa9-3 and iaa9-5, can adapt, grow, and produce fruit under heat-stress conditions. However, the physiological processes in those two mutants especially for the enzymatic system that works to neutralize ROS are not clear. The objective of this research was to determine how the scavenging enzyme system responds to the heat stress in those mutants. The iaa9-3, iaa9-5, and WT-MT as a control were cultivated under two environmental conditions; normal and heat stress conditions. Vegetative and reproductive growth were observed during cultivation period. The activities of catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were investigated in both wild-type and parthenocarpic tomato mutants under normal and heat stress conditions. The results showed that under heat stress condition, the mutants, iaa9-3 and iaa9-5, and WT-MT resulted in reduction of the vegetative growth, but those mutants showed better growth than WT-MT. Higher chlorophyll content in iaa9-3 and iaa9-5 was observed under normal or heat stress condition. Despite their growth reduction under heat stress conditions, iaa9-3 and iaa9-5 resulted in the significant higher CAT, APX and SOD activity than WT-MT. The results suggest that higher chlorophyll content and enhanced CAT, APX and SOD activity in the iaa9-3 and iaa9-5 mutants are adaptive strategies to survive in heat stress conditions.

Abstract
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world for its fruit production. Advances in cutting-edge techniques have enabled the development of numerous critical traits related to the quality and quantity of tomatoes. Genetic engineering techniques, such as gene transformation and gene editing, have emerged as powerful tools for generating new plant varieties with superior traits. In this study, we induced parthenocarpic traits in a population of elite tomato (ET) lines. At first, the adaptability of ET lines to genetic transformation was evaluated to identify the best-performing lines by transforming the SlANT1 gene overexpression cassette and then later used to produce the SlIAA9 knockout lines using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. ET5 and ET8 emerged as excellent materials for these techniques and showed higher efficiency. Typical phenotypes of knockout sliaa9 were clearly visible in G0 and G1 plants, in which simple leaves and parthenocarpic fruits were observed. The high efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in developing new tomato varieties with desired traits in a short period was demonstrated by generating T-DNA-free homozygous sliaa9 knockout plants in the G1 generation. Additionally, a simple artificial fertilization method was successfully applied to recover seed production from parthenocarpic plants, securing the use of these varieties as breeding materials.

Parthenocarpic tomato mutants, iaa9-3 and iaa9-5, show plant adaptability and fruiting ability under heat-stress conditions. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1090774. [PMID: 36938002 PMCID: PMC10014533 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1090774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Fruit set is one of the main problems that arise in tomato plants under heat-stress conditions, which disrupt pollen development, resulting in decreased pollen fertility. Parthenocarpic tomatoes can be used to increase plant productivity during failure of the fertilisation process under heat-stress conditions. The aim of this study were to identify the plant adaptability and fruiting capability of ?iaa9-3 and iaa9-5 tomato mutants under heat-stress conditions. The iaa9-3 and iaa9-5 and wild-type Micro-Tom (WT-MT) plants were cultivated under two temperature conditions: normal and heat-stress conditions during plant growth. The results showed that under the heat-stress condition, iaa9-3 and iaa9-5 showed delayed flowering time, increased number of flowers, and increased fruit set and produced normal-sized fruit. However, WT-MT cannot produce fruits under heat stress. The mutants can grow under heat-stress conditions, as indicated by the lower electrolyte leakage and H2O2 concentration and higher antioxidant activities compared with WT-MT under heat-stress conditions. These results suggest that iaa9-3 and iaa9-5 can be valuable genetic resources for the development of tomatoes in high-temperature environmental conditions.
