JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY 2024; 75:2631-2643.

Abstract
Ascorbate is involved in numerous vital processes, in particular in response to abiotic but also biotic stresses whose frequency and amplitude increase with climate change. Ascorbate levels vary greatly depending on species, tissues, or stages of development, but also in response to stress. Since its discovery, the ascorbate biosynthetic pathway has been intensely studied and it appears that GDP-l-galactose phosphorylase (GGP) is the enzyme with the greatest role in the control of ascorbate biosynthesis. Like other enzymes of this pathway, its expression is induced by various environmental and also developmental factors. Although mRNAs encoding it are among the most abundant in the transcriptome, the protein is only present in very small quantities. In fact, GGP translation is repressed by a negative feedback mechanism involving a small open reading frame located upstream of the coding sequence (uORF). Moreover, its activity is inhibited by a PAS/LOV type photoreceptor, the action of which is counteracted by blue light. Consequently, this multi-level regulation of GGP would allow fine control of ascorbate synthesis. Indeed, experiments varying the expression of GGP have shown that it plays a central role in response to stress. This new understanding will be useful for developing varieties adapted to future environmental conditions.

Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed Key Defense Genes and Signaling Pathways Mediated by the Arabidopsis thaliana Gene SAD2 in Response to Infection with Pseudomonas syringae pv. Tomato DC3000. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24044229. [PMID: 36835638 PMCID: PMC9963955 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24044229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Nucleocytoplasmic transport receptors play key roles in the nuclear translocation of disease resistance proteins, but the associated mechanisms remain unclear. The Arabidopsis thaliana gene SAD2 encodes an importin β-like protein. A transgenic Arabidopsis line overexpressing SAD2 (OESAD2/Col-0) showed obvious resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000) compared to the wild type (Col-0), but the knockout mutant sad2-5 was susceptible. Transcriptomic analysis was then performed on Col-0, OESAD2/Col-0, and sad2-5 leaves at 0, 1, 2, and 3 days post-inoculation with Pst DC3000. A total of 1825 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified as putative biotic stress defense genes regulated by SAD2, 45 of which overlapped between the SAD2 knockout and overexpression datasets. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis indicated that the DEGs were broadly involved in single-organism cellular metabolic processes and in response to stimulatory stress. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) biochemical pathway analysis revealed that many of the DEGs were associated with the biosynthesis of flavonoids and other specialized metabolites. Transcription factor analysis showed that a large number of ERF/AP2, MYB, and bHLH transcription factors were involved in SAD2-mediated plant disease resistance. These results provide a basis for future exploration of the molecular mechanisms associated with SAD2-mediated disease resistance and establish a set of key candidate disease resistance genes.

Characterization of physiological and antioxidant responses in Run1Ren1 Vitis vinifera plants during Erysiphe necator attack. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:964732.

Abstract
Grapevine is a fruit crop of major significance worldwide. Fungal attacks are one of the most relevant factors affecting grapevine yield and fruit quality, and powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator is one of the most harmful fungal diseases for this fruit-bearing species. Incorporating resistance genes such as Run1 and Ren1 in new vine selections offers a sustainable alternative to control the disease. These combined loci produce an immune response that prevents the development of the disease. However, to date studies are lacking concerning whether this response generates alterations in the physiological and antioxidant parameters of resistant plants in the presence of the fungus or if it has an associated energy cost. Therefore, the main goal of our research was to determine if Run1Ren1 plants present alterations in their physiological and biochemical parameters in the presence of the fungus. To achieve this target, a previously characterized resistant Run1Ren1 genotype and the susceptible Carménère cultivar were analyzed. We evaluated photochemical parameters (Fv'/Fm', ΦPSII and ETR), net photosynthesis (Pn), photosynthetic pigments, transpiration (E), stomatal conductance (gs ), oxidative stress parameters (MDA), antioxidant activity, and phenols. Our results show that the physiological parameters of Run1Ren1 plants were not negatively affected by the fungus at 10 days post-inoculation, contrasting with alterations observed in the susceptible plants. Therefore, we propose that the resistance response triggered by Run1Ren1 is physiologically and biochemically advantageous to grapevines by preventing the development of powdery mildew infection.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequences of 11 wild and cultivated tomato GDP-L-galactose-phosphorylase- 1 homologs (VTC2) were identified and characterized. The overall level of nucleotide variability was 9.19%. Totally 25 out of 54 cDNA SNPs were non-synonymous and resulted in amino acid substitutions. In the group of green-fruited tomato species, more SNPs were detected than in the group of red-fruited species, but the percentage of non-synonymous substitutions in red-fruited tomatoes was significantly higher (66.7% vs. 37.5%). In the translated amino acid sequences, the GDF-L-galactose-hexose-1-phosphate-guanyltransferase domain and the highly conserved HIT-motif were identified and a conserved motif specific for VTC2 of Solanoideae species was detected.

De novo transcriptomic profiling of the clonal Leymus chinensis response to long-term overgrazing-induced memory. Sci Rep 2018; 8:17912. [PMID: 30559460 PMCID: PMC6297159 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-35605-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2018] [Accepted: 11/07/2018] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis) is one of the dominant grass species present on typical steppes of the Inner Mongolia Plateau. However, L. chinensis has developed a dwarfing phenotype in response to the stressful habitat in grasslands that are severely degraded due to heavy grazing. The lack of transcriptomic and genomic information has prohibited the understanding of the transgenerational effect on physiological alterations in clonal L. chinensis at the molecular level in response to livestock grazing. To solve this problem, transcriptomic information from the leaves of clonal L. chinensis obtained from overgrazed (GR) and non-grazed (NG) grasslands was studied using a paired-end Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing platform. First, despite the influence of grazing being absent during the growth of clonal offspring in our hydroponic experiment, compared with those from the NG group, clonal L. chinensis from the GR group exhibited significant dwarf-type morphological traits. A total of 116,356 unigenes were subsequently generated and assembled de novo, of which 55,541 could be annotated to homologous matches in the NCBI non-redundant (Nr), Swiss-Prot, Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG), gene ontology (GO), or Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases. The expression of 3,341 unigenes significantly differed between the GR group and the NG group with an absolute value of Log2 ratio ≥ 1. The altered expression of genes involved in defence and immune responses, pathogenic resistance and cell development indicates that livestock grazing induces a transgenerational effect on the growth inhibition of clonal L. chinensis. The results of the present study will provide important large-scale transcriptomic information on L. chinensis. Furthermore, the results facilitated our investigation of grazing-induced transgenerational effects on both the morphological and physiological characteristics of L. chinensis at the molecular levels.
