Abstract
The conifer Taxodium hybrid 'Zhongshanshan' (T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan') is characterized by rapid growth, strong stress resistance, and high ornamental value and has significant potential for use in afforestation, landscaping, and wood production. The main method of propagating T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan' is tender branch cutting, but the cutting rooting abilities of different T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan' clones differ significantly. To explore the causes of rooting ability differences at a molecular level, we analyzed the transcriptome data of cutting base and root tissues of T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan 149' with a rooting rate of less than 5% and T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan 118' with rooting rate greater than 60%, at the developmental time points in this study. The results indicated that differentially expressed genes between the two clones were mainly associated with copper ion binding, peroxidase, and oxidoreductase activity, response to oxidative stress, phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis, and plant hormone signal transduction, among others. The expression pattern of ThAP2 was different throughout the development of the adventitive roots of the two clone cuttings. Therefore, this gene was selected for further study. It was shown that ThAP2 was a nuclear-localized transcription factor and demonstrated a positive feedback effect on rooting in transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana cuttings. Thus, the results of this study explain the molecular mechanism of cutting rooting and provide candidate gene resources for developing genetic breeding strategies for optimizing superior clones of T. hybrid 'Zhongshanshan'.

RNA Sequencing Analysis and Verification of Paeonia ostii 'Fengdan' CuZn Superoxide Dismutase ( PoSOD) Genes in Root Development. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:421. [PMID: 38337954 PMCID: PMC10856844 DOI: 10.3390/plants13030421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa) is a significant medicinal plant. However, the low rooting number is a bottleneck problem in the micropropagation protocols of P. ostii 'Fengdan'. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) is closely related to root development. But research on the SOD gene's impact on rooting is still lacking. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to analyze the four crucial stages of root development in P. ostii 'Fengdan' seedlings, including the early root primordium formation stage (Gmfq), root primordium formation stage (Gmf), root protrusion stage (Gtq), and root outgrowth stage (Gzc). A total of 141.77 GB of data were obtained; 71,718, 29,804, and 24,712 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the comparison groups of Gmfq vs. Gmf, Gmf vs. Gtq, and Gtq vs. Gzc, respectively. Among the 20 most highly expressed DEGs in the three comparison groups, only the CuZnSOD gene (SUB13202229, PoSOD) was found to be significantly expressed in Gtq vs. Gzc. The overexpression of PoSOD increased the number of adventitious roots and promoted the activities of peroxidase (POD) and SOD in P. ostii 'Fengdan'. The gene ADVENTITIOUS ROOTING RELATED OXYGENASE1 (PoARRO-1), which is closely associated with the development of adventitious roots, was also significantly upregulated in overexpressing PoSOD plants. Furthermore, PoSOD interacted with PoARRO-1 in yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and biomolecular luminescence complementation (BiFC) assays. In conclusion, PoSOD could interact with PoARRO-1 and enhance the root development of tube plantlets in P. ostii 'Fengdan'. This study will help us to preliminarily understand the molecular mechanism of adventitious root formation and improve the root quality of tree peony and other medicinal plants.

Abstract
As a primary approach to nutrient propagation for many woody plants, cutting roots is essential for the breeding and production of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver. In this study, hormone level, transcriptomics, and metabolomics analyses were performed on two E. ulmoides varieties with different adventitious root (AR) formation abilities. The higher JA level on the 0th day and the lower JA level on the 18th day promoted superior AR development. Several hub genes executed crucial roles in the crosstalk regulation of JA and other hormones, including F-box protein (EU012075), SAUR-like protein (EU0125382), LOB protein (EU0124232), AP2/ERF transcription factor (EU0128499), and CYP450 protein (EU0127354). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and metabolites of AR formation were enriched in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, and isoflavonoid biosynthesis pathways. The up-regulated expression of PAL, CCR, CAD, DFR, and HIDH genes on the 18th day could contribute to AR formation. The 130 cis-acting lncRNAs had potential regulatory functions on hub genes in the module that significantly correlated with JA and DEGs in three metabolism pathways. These revealed key molecules, and vital pathways provided more comprehensive insight for the AR formation mechanism of E. ulmoides and other plants.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 206:108307.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated continuously as a by-product of aerobic metabolism in plants. While excessive ROS cause oxidative stresses in cells, they act as signaling molecules when maintained at an optimum concentration through the dynamic equilibrium of ROS metabolizing mechanisms to regulate growth, development and response to environmental stress. Auxin and its crosstalk with other signaling cascades are crucial for maintaining ROS homeostasis and orchestrating root architecture but dissecting the underlying mechanism requires detailed investigation at the molecular level. Rice fibrous root system is primarily composed of shoot-derived adventitious roots (also called crown roots). Here, we uncover auxin-ROS cross-talk during initiation and growth of rice roots. Potassium iodide treatment changes ROS levels that results in an altered rice root architecture. We reveal that auxin induction recover root growth and development defects by recouping level of hydrogen peroxide. By comparing global datasets previously generated by auxin induction and laser capture microdissection-RNA sequencing, we identify the redox-related antioxidants genes from peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, and thioredoxin reductase families whose expression is regulated by the auxin signaling and also display dynamic expression patterns during crown root primordia morphogenesis. The auxin-mediated differential transcriptome data were validated by quantifying expression levels of a set of genes upon auxin induction. Further, in-depth spatio-temporal expression pattern analysis by RNA in situ hybridization shows the spatially restricted expression of selected genes in the developing crown root primordia. Together, our findings uncover molecular components of auxin-ROS crosstalk involved in root organogenesis.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION This study reveals that the process of crown root development and auxin-induced de novo root organogenesis during in vitro plantlet regeneration share a common auxin-OsWOX10 regulatory module in rice. In the fibrous-type root system of rice, the crown roots (CR) are developed naturally from the shoot tissues. Generation of robust auxin response, followed by activation of downstream cell fate determinants and signaling pathways at the onset of crown root primordia (CRP) establishment is essential for new root initiation. During rice tissue culture, embryonic calli are induced to regenerate shoots in vitro which undergo de novo root organogenesis on an exogenous auxin-supplemented medium, but the mechanism underlying spatially restricted root organogenesis remains unknown. Here, we reveal the dynamics of progressive activation of genes involved in auxin homeostasis and signaling during initiation and outgrowth of rice crown root primordia. By comparative global dataset analysis, we identify the crown root primordia-expressed genes whose expression is also regulated by auxin signaling. In-depth spatio-temporal expression pattern analysis shows that the exogenous application of auxin induces a set of key transcription factors exclusively in the spatially positioned CRP. Further, functional analysis of rice WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX 10 (OsWOX10) during in vitro plantlet regeneration from embryogenic calli shows that it promotes de novo root organogenesis from regenerated shoots. Expression of rice OsWOX10 also induces adventitious roots (AR) in Arabidopsis, independent of homologous endogenous Arabidopsis genes. Together, our findings reveal that a common auxin-transcription factor regulatory module is involved in root organogenesis under different conditions.

Abstract
The AP2/ERF transcription factor family is one of the most important gene families in plants and plays a vital role in plant abiotic stress responses. Although Erianthus fulvus is very important in the genetic improvement of sugarcane, there are few studies concerning AP2/ERF genes in E. fulvus. Here, we identified 145 AP2/ERF genes in the E. fulvus genome. Phylogenetic analysis classified them into five subfamilies. Evolutionary analysis showed that tandem and segmental duplication contributed to the expansion of the EfAP2/ERF family. Protein interaction analysis showed that twenty-eight EfAP2/ERF proteins and five other proteins had potential interaction relationships. Multiple cis-acting elements present in the EfAP2/ERF promoter were related to abiotic stress response, suggesting that EfAP2/ERF may contribute to adaptation to environmental changes. Transcriptomic and RT-qPCR analyses revealed that EfDREB10, EfDREB11, EfDREB39, EfDREB42, EfDREB44, EfERF43, and EfAP2-13 responded to cold stress, EfDREB5 and EfDREB42 responded to drought stress, and EfDREB5, EfDREB11, EfDREB39, EfERF43, and EfAP2-13 responded to ABA treatment. These results will be helpful for better understanding the molecular features and biological role of the E. fulvus AP2/ERF genes and lay a foundation for further research on the function of EfAP2/ERF genes and the regulatory mechanism of the abiotic stress response.

Abstract
The rice root system is primarily composed of shoot-borne adventitious/crown roots (ARs/CRs) that develop from the coleoptile base, and therefore, it is an excellent model system for studying shoot-to-root trans-differentiation process. We reveal global changes in protein and metabolite abundance and protein phosphorylation in response to an auxin stimulus during CR development. The liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses of developing crown root primordia (CRP) and emerged CRs identified 334 proteins and 12 amino acids, respectively, that were differentially regulated upon auxin treatment. Gene ontology enrichment analysis of global proteome data uncovered the biological processes associated with chromatin conformational change, gene expression and cell cycle that were regulated by auxin signaling. Spatial gene expression pattern analysis of differentially abundant proteins disclosed their stage-specific dynamic expression pattern during CRP development. Further, our tempo-spatial gene expression and functional analyses revealed that auxin creates a regulatory module during CRP development and activates ethylene biosynthesis exclusively during CRP initiation. Further, the phosphoproteome analysis identified 8,220 phosphosites, which could be mapped to 1,594 phosphoproteins and of which 66 phosphosites were differentially phosphorylated upon auxin treatment. Importantly, we observed differential phosphorylation of the cyclin-dependent kinase G-2 (OsCDKG;2) and cell wall proteins, in response to auxin signaling, suggesting that auxin-dependent phosphorylation may be required for cell cycle activation and cell wall synthesis during root organogenesis. Thus, our study provides evidence for the translational and post-translational regulation during CR development downstream of the auxin signaling pathway.

Abstract
The evolution of root architecture in plants was a prerequisite for the absorption of water and minerals from the soil, and thus a major determinant of terrestrial plant colonization. Cereals have a remarkably complex root system consisting of embryonic primary roots and post-embryonic lateral roots and shoot-borne adventitious roots. Among grass species, rice adventitious roots (also called crown roots) are developed from compressed nodes at the stem base, whereas in maize, besides crown roots, several aboveground brace roots are also formed, thus adventitious root types display species-specific diversity. Despite being the backbone for the adult root system in monocots, adventitious roots are the least studied of all the plant organs. In recent times, molecular genetics, genomics and proteomics-based approaches have been utilized to dissect the mechanism of post-embryonic meristem formation and tissue patterning. Adventitious root development is a cumulative effect of the actions and interactions of crucial genetic and hormonal regulators. In this review, we provide a comprehensive view of the key regulators involved during the different stages of adventitious root development in two important crop plants, rice and maize. We have reviewed the roles of major phytohormones, microRNAs and transcription factors and their crosstalk during adventitious root development in these cereal crops.

Abstract
We reveal the onset and dynamic tissue-specific cytokinin signaling domains and functional importance of auxin in the auxin-cytokinin interaction domains in shaping root architecture in the economically important rice plant. Plant hormones such as auxin and cytokinin are central regulators of root organogenesis. Typical in the grass species, the root system in rice is primarily composed of post-embryonic adventitious/crown roots (ARs/CRs). Antagonistic auxin-cytokinin activities mutually balance each other to ensure proper root development. Cytokinin has been shown to inhibit crown root initiation in rice; albeit, the responsive domains remain elusive during the initiation and outgrowth of crown root primordia (CRP). Here, we show the cytokinin response domains during various stages of CRP development. RNA-RNA in situ hybridization and protein immunohistochemistry studies of the reporter gene expressed under the cytokinin responsive synthetic promoter revealed detailed spatio-temporal cytokinin signaling domains in the developing CRP. Furthermore, rice lines genetically depleted for endogenous auxin in the cytokinin responsive domains provided insight into the functional importance of auxin signaling during crown root development. Thus, our study demonstrates the onset and dynamic tissue-specific cytokinin response and functional significance of auxin-cytokinin interaction during root architecture formation in rice, a model grass species.

Abstract
Crown roots constitute the main part of the rice root system. Several key genes involved in crown root initiation and development have been identified by functional genomics approaches. Nevertheless, these approaches are impaired by functional redundancy and mutant lethality. To overcome these limitations, organ targeted transcriptome analysis can help to identify genes involved in crown root formation and early development. In this study, we generated an atlas of genes expressed in developing crown root primordia in comparison with adjacent stem cortical tissue at three different developmental stages before emergence, using laser capture microdissection. We identified 3975 genes differentially expressed in crown root primordia. About 30% of them were expressed at the three developmental stages, whereas 10.5%, 19.5% and 12.8% were specifically expressed at the early, intermediate and late stages, respectively. Sorting them by functional ontology highlighted an active transcriptional switch during the process of crown root primordia formation. Cross-analysis with other rice root development-related datasets revealed genes encoding transcription factors, chromatin remodeling factors, peptide growth factors, and cell wall remodeling enzymes that are likely to play a key role during crown root primordia formation. This atlas constitutes an open primary data resource for further studies on the regulation of crown root initiation and development.

Abstract
Calcium-dependent protein kinases-related kinases (CDPK-related kinases; CRKs) are Ser/Thr kinases that bind with Ca2+/Calmodulin and play crucial roles in signal transduction pathways during plant growth, development, and responses to multiple stresses. In this study, we have studied detailed organ and tissue-specific expression patterns of rice CRK genes. Our organ-specific RT-PCR analyzes show the differential expression pattern of these genes in various organs of rice. Moreover, our RNA-RNA in situ hybridization study in rice stem base containing developing crown root primordia demonstrates that the expression of CRK genes is spatially restricted to the developing crown root primordia, suggesting their putative role in protein phosphorylation-dependent cellular signaling during rice crown root development. Furthermore, organ-specific differentially expression pattern of CRK genes during floral organogenesis further support for the organ-specific cell signaling during organogenesis. Thus, our study provides a developmentally regulated expression pattern of rice CRK genes, though they are broadly expressed and a basic foundation for functional characterizations of CRK gene members to unravel their specific functions during plant growth and development.

Gene co-expression network analysis to identify critical modules and candidate genes of drought-resistance in wheat. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0236186. [PMID: 32866164 PMCID: PMC7458298 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0236186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
AIM To establish a gene co-expression network for identifying principal modules and hub genes that are associated with drought resistance mechanisms, analyzing their mechanisms, and exploring candidate genes. METHODS AND FINDINGS 42 data sets including PRJNA380841 and PRJNA369686 were used to construct the co-expression network through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). A total of 1,896,897,901 (284.30 Gb) clean reads and 35,021 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained from 42 samples. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that photosynthesis, DNA replication, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, starch and sucrose metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, and cell cycle were significantly influenced by drought stress. Furthermore, the DEGs with similar expression patterns, detected by K-means clustering, were grouped into 29 clusters. Genes involved in the modules, such as dark turquoise, yellow, and brown, were found to be appreciably linked with drought resistance. Twelve central, greatly correlated genes in stage-specific modules were subsequently confirmed and validated at the transcription levels, including TraesCS7D01G417600.1 (PP2C), TraesCS5B01G565300.1 (ERF), TraesCS4A01G068200.1 (HSP), TraesCS2D01G033200.1 (HSP90), TraesCS6B01G425300.1 (RBD), TraesCS7A01G499200.1 (P450), TraesCS4A01G118400.1 (MYB), TraesCS2B01G415500.1 (STK), TraesCS1A01G129300.1 (MYB), TraesCS2D01G326900.1 (ALDH), TraesCS3D01G227400.1 (WRKY), and TraesCS3B01G144800.1 (GT). CONCLUSIONS Analyzing the response of wheat to drought stress during different growth stages, we have detected three modules and 12 hub genes that are associated with drought resistance mechanisms, and five of those genes are newly identified for drought resistance. The references provided by these modules will promote the understanding of the drought-resistance mechanism. In addition, the candidate genes can be used as a basis of transgenic or molecular marker-assisted selection for improving the drought resistance and increasing the yields of wheat.
