Genome-wide characterization and expression analysis of GATA transcription factors under combination of light wavelengths and drought stress in potato. PLANT DIRECT 2024; 8:e569. [PMID: 38659972 PMCID: PMC11042883 DOI: 10.1002/pld3.569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
GATA is one of the prominent transcription factor families conserved among many organisms in eukaryotes and has different biological roles in many pathways, particularly in light regulation in plants. Although GATA transcription factors (TFs) have been identified in different crop species, their roles in abiotic stress tolerance have not been studied in potato. In this study, we identified 32 GATA TFs in potato (Solanum tuberosum) by in silico analyses, and expression levels of selected six genes were investigated in drought-tolerant (Sante) and sensitive (Agria) cultivars under light, drought, and combined (light + drought) stress conditions. According to the phylogenetic results, StGATA TFs were divided into four main groups (I, II, III, and IV) and different sub-groups in I and II (eight and five, respectively). StGATA genes were uniformly localized to each chromosome with a conserved exon/intron structure. The presence of cis-elements within the StGATA family further supported the possible involvement in abiotic stress tolerance and light response, tissue-specific expression, and hormonal regulation. Additional PPI investigations showed that these networks, especially for Groups I, II, and IV, play a significant role in response to light and drought stress. Six StGATAs were chosen from these groups for expressional profiling, and their expression in both Sante and Agria was mainly downregulated under purple and red lights, drought, and combined stress (blue + drought and purple + drought). The interactomes of selected StGATAs, StGATA3, StGATA24, and StGATA29 were analyzed, and the accessions with GATA motifs were checked for expression. The results showed that the target proteins, cyclin-P3-1, SPX domain-containing protein 1, mitochondrial calcium uniporter protein 2, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase YODA, and splicing factor 3 B subunit 4-like, mainly play a role in phytochrome-mediated stomatal patterning, development, and activity. Understanding the interactions between drought stress and the light response mechanisms in potato plants is essential. It will eventually be possible to enhance potato resilience to climate change by manipulating the TFs that play a role in these pathways.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is the third most ubiquitous metal in the earth's crust. A decrease in soil pH below 5 increases its solubility and availability. However, its impact on plants depends largely on concentration, exposure time, plant species, developmental age, and growing conditions. Although Al can be beneficial to plants by stimulating growth and mitigating biotic and abiotic stresses, it remains unknown how Al mediates these effects since its biological significance in cellular systems is still unidentified. Al is considered a major limiting factor restricting plant growth and productivity in acidic soils. It instigates a series of phytotoxic symptoms in several Al-sensitive crops with inhibition of root growth and restriction of water and nutrient uptake as the obvious symptoms. This review explores advances in Al benefits, toxicity and tolerance mechanisms employed by plants on acidic soils. These insights will provide directions and future prospects for potential crop improvement.

Abstract
Polyphenol-rich tea plants are aluminum (Al) accumulators. Whether an association exists between polyphenols and Al accumulation in tea plants remains unclear. This study revealed that the accumulation of the total Al and bound Al contents were both higher in tea samples with high flavonol content than in low, and Al accumulation in tea plants was significantly and positively correlated with their flavonol content. Furthermore, the capability of flavonols combined with Al was higher than that of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and root proanthocyanidins (PAs) under identical conditions. Flavonol-Al complexes signals (94 ppm) were detected in the tender roots and old leaves of tea plants through solid-state 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, and the strength of the signals in the high flavonol content tea samples was considerably stronger than that in the low flavonol content tea samples. This study provides a new perspective for studying Al accumulation in different tea varieties.

Abstract
The aluminum in acid soils is very rhizotoxic to most plant species, but it is essential for root growth and development in Camellia sinensis. However, the molecular basis of Al-mediated signaling pathways in root regeneration of tea plants is largely unclear. In this study, we profiled the physiological phenotype, transcriptome, and phytohormones in the process using stems treated with Al (0.3 mM) and control (0.02 mM). The anatomical analysis showed that the 0.3 mM Al-treated stem began to develop adventitious root (AR) primordia within 7 days, ARs occurred after 21 days, while the control showed a significant delay. We further found that the expression patterns of many genes involved in the biosynthesis of ZT, ACC, and JA were stimulated by Al on day 3; also, the expression profiles of auxin transporter-related genes were markedly increased under Al during the whole rooting process. Moreover, the expression of these genes was strongly correlated with the accumulation of ZT, ACC, JA, and IAA. CsERFs, CsMYBs, and CsWRKYs transcription factor genes with possible crucial roles in regulating AR regeneration were also uncovered. Our findings suggest that multiple phytohormones and genes related to their biosynthesis form a hierarchical transcriptional cascade during Al-induced de novo root regeneration in tea nodal cuttings.

Abstract
Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is a well-known Al-accumulating plant, showing a high level of aluminum (Al) tolerance. However, the molecular mechanisms of Al tolerance and accumulation are poorly understood. We carried out transcriptome analysis of tea plant leaves in response to three different Al levels (0, 1, 4 mM, for 7 days). In total, 794, 829 and 585 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained in 4 mM Al vs. 1 mM Al, 0 Al vs. 1 mM Al, and 4 mM Al vs. 0 Al comparisons, respectively. Analysis of genes related to polysaccharide and cell wall metabolism, detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS), cellular transport, and signal transduction were involved in the Al stress response. Furthermore, the transcription factors such as zinc finger, myeloblastosis (MYB), and WRKY played a critical role in transcriptional regulation of genes associated with Al resistance in tea plant. In addition, the genes involved in phenolics biosynthesis and decomposition were overwhelmingly upregulated in the leaves treated with either 0 Al and 4 mM Al stress, indicating they may play an important role in Al tolerance. These results will further help us to understand mechanisms of Al stress and tolerance in tea plants regulated at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) influences crop yield in acidic soil. The tea plant (Camellia sinensis) has high Al tolerance with abundant monomeric catechins in its leaves, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and polymeric proanthocyanidins in its roots (rPA). The role of these polyphenols in the Al resistance of tea plants is unclear. In this study, we observed that these polyphenols could form complexes with Al in vitro, and complexation capacity was positively influenced by high solution pH (pH 5.8), polyphenol type (rPA and EGCG), and high Al concentration. In the 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment, rPA-Al and EGCG-Al complex signals could be detected both in vitro and in vivo. The rPA-Al and EGCG-Al complexes were detected in roots and old leaves, respectively, of both greenhouse seedlings and tea garden plants. Furthermore, in seedlings, Al accumulated in roots and old leaves and mostly existed in the apoplast in binding form. These results indicate that the formation of complexes with tea polyphenols in vivo plays a vital role in Al resistance in the tea plant.

Abstract
The present study investigated the distribution of several primary metabolites (soluble sugar, protein, and mineral) and secondary metabolites (carotenoids, vitamin C, anthocyanin, flavonoids, and total phenolic compounds) among the leaf layers of headed cabbage. The leaf layers of two cultivars were separated and numbered sequentially from the outer to the inner leaves. The fructose and glucose content of the inner leaf layers was significantly greater than that of the outer layers. Similarly, the level of glucosinolates increased gradually from the outer leaves to the umbilicus of the leaf head. However, the content of antioxidants decreased from the outer leaves to the core of the leaf head, in line with the antioxidant capacity. The levels of soluble protein and mineral shared the similar decreasing trend. These results provide a reference for consumers to choose optimal fractions of whole cabbage heads in order to cater to their particular dietary needs.
